Torn Achilles injury, limited rushing upside, weak back-stack options reduce value.

JJ Zachariason groups Daniel Jones among late-round quarterbacks without league-winning upside. While Jones was one of the biggest advance rate superstars last year, he is coming off a torn Achilles, which raises durability and performance concerns heading into the new season. Zachariason notes Jones will generate some rushing production, though it will not be overwhelming, limiting his upside as a late-round quarterback target. Zachariason argues that drafting Daniel Jones in round 12 is suboptimal compared to high-upside skill position players like Travis Hunter, Woody Marks, and Deebo Samuel who contribute weekly scores. Additionally, Jones is explicitly noted as lacking a particularly strong back-stack option, making him a less attractive late-round quarterback choice compared to peers with better same-offense pass-catcher pairings.
