2024 NFL redraft proves recency bias against Jayden Daniels

The 2026 NFL Draft is long over. Free agency is in the rearview mirror, and so is the NFL offseason. Now, we await training camp, with every NFL team scheduled to report in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, there isn't much going on around the NFL. Well, unless you're following the Brandon Aiyuk drama, which seems to have new material every other day. While we are in the calm before the storm, Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports recently looked back at the 2024 NFL Draft.

However, Maye and Williams took a big leap, with both leading their respective teams to the playoffs. Maye even led New England to the Super Bowl. Nix led the Broncos to the AFC's No.

1 seed, but was injured in the AFC Divisional Round. So, where would these players land in this CBS redraft?Here's Pereles' top-three picks:1.

This is his biggest advantage over Maye, who still must improve his pressure mitigation. Williams has always taken excellent care of the ball as a passer, even during his difficult rookie year, and his out-of-structure creation is jaw-dropping.

Here's his
