But is Daniels a lock to go to Washington? There also have been growing rumors that the Raiders are doing what they can to move up to the second pick, with eyes on drafting Daniels. He was coy when asked how strong a likelihood the Raiders taking him might be.

“I’m just like y’all, I really don’t know what’s going to happen,” Daniels said. “I have people saying (to me), ‘Hey, anything can happen on draft day.’ But we’ll see.”

Daniels previously played at Arizona State when Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was on staff there, and the two have known each other since before Daniels was in high school. He said he trusts Pierce, who recruited him to ASU, even promising Daniels he’d win the Heisman Trophy one day. That happened, although Pierce had already left for the Raiders by then, and Daniels was playing for LSU instead.

“It would be good,” Daniels said of the idea of playing for Pierce and the Raiders. “I mean, anywhere I go will be a blessing. But, you know, I’ve been knowing AP since I was a teenager. Just (having) our relationship, like off the field, that would mean a lot.”

Maye likewise wasn’t showing any stress on Wednesday about how Round 1 will play out. He said he had “some idea” where he might land but wasn’t saying where.

“I’m not sure. I wish I knew for sure,” Maye told reporters in Detroit. “It’s not as easy as that, but I’m ready to go wherever.”

Asked if there were butterflies one day away from learning his draft fate, Maye suggested those have been gone for a little while now.

“I’m excited,” he said. “I think all the nerves were out (when I was) doing all the meetings and formal interviews and all that. Right now, I’m just getting ready to enjoy it and hopefully hear my name called.”
