I mostly like the pick.
He has some ability and good size. Competitive. Good hands and physicality. Large catch radius. Of course he can block.

…and of course he’s slow.


From a scouting report:
Here's the deal with Daniels: he fits best in an offense that values precision over explosiveness. Concepts built around timing throws, screen packages, and route combinations that create space through design rather than pure athleticism will get the most out of him

He’s a fit.
Im just (obviously) not a fan of what the Rams are going for in terms of skill guys.

After watching his tape, he has room for improvement. His footwork looks awkward at times. His game tape shows a guy who makes an effort for every ball thrown his way (this a great trait IMO).

As others have stated, Welcome to the Rams.

I like Daniels. He's not a super dynamic athlete, but he's savvy, surehanded, and a great blocker. Plenty of body control too. He's our type of WR.

Honestly, I think he has sneaky athleticism, much like Whitt and Mumps. He doesn't get much separation, but he can run intermediate to deep routes.

I'm more convinced we should have traded up for Tyson hahahaha
 
From Dane Brugler:

Strengths​

  • Good-sized frame, with length and adequate muscle in his upper body
  • Reliable ball skills and looks the ball into his hands (1.6 percent drop rate over the past two seasons)
  • Catch-of-the-year candidate with his one-handed grab against Notre Dame in 2025
  • Impressive contested-catch rate (75.8 percent) over past three seasons
  • Smart, tough player and shows a natural feel for the position
  • Coordinated feet in his release and fights through grabby coverage
  • Quickly reaches landmarks and stays alert when tagged as hot route
  • Sources in Miami program speak highly of his pro mindset and consistency in practice

Weakness
  • Average-at-best speed and vertical push
  • Struggles to shed bump-and-run defenders in his routes
  • Relies more on savvy than suddenness to get open
  • Tape doesn’t show a threatening player after the catch
  • Nice job using blocking angles, but average strength will be more noticeable vs. NFL corners
  • Didn’t produce a 100-yard receiving game at LSU or Miami (last 100-yard game came in December 2023 at Liberty)
  • Not much special teams experience on his resume
  • Tore right ACL on first day of 2022 spring practices, which required surgery and sidelined him for most of the ‘22 season; reaggravated his knee and dealt with a foot injury, which required offseason surgery, during the 2024 season; missed three games during super-senior season because of injury (Oct. 2025)
