2025 Hfboards NFL Mock DRAFT Discussion

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Eagles would never use all these picks. Even right now, they have 20 over the next two drafts.

Walter Nolen went right before. Had he not i would have taken him. Howie in real life would make use a few of them like someone as he did Dotson this past year. I would be suprised if they Eagles draft at 32 though. Think a trade either way.

They’re moving up if anything. They’re not going to sit and wait and hope their guy falls to them.

I'd say Barkley was more hyped than Jeanty as some analysts had him going first overall. Jeanty's a great prospect tho and I wouldn't be mad if the Raiders picked him 6th overall. After Johnson and McMillan he was next on my list for that pick. I don't think Jeanty or Sanders make it out of the top 10.

It's tough because 2018 was a completely different RB landscape. You're still a few months before the Gurley extension is even signed. Those guys were looked at as centerpieces to an offense. The league as a whole understands you need the OL to be your run game base at this point.

Or to put it another way, Saquon the prospect has no chance of going 1OA in a very weak top of the draft today.
 
For Bears I hit on some major needs with 3 picks

1st round - 10th overall = T Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas)
2nd round - 39th overall = EDGE Princely Umanmielen (Ole Miss)
2nd round - 41st overall = RB Omarion Hampton (North Carolina

Well you made a hell of a pick with it. Fannin isn't a guy that will work in every offense, but Payton and him should be a perfect marriage.

He's such a hard guy to make a comp for because that combination of more narrow route tree but high separation, excellent YAC ability, elite hands, and bowleggedness is extremely rare. Charles McDonald managed to find one -- Aaron Hernandez. Obviously just on the field. :laugh:

Yeah I wanted a TE with my next pick and once Mason Taylor went, I felt like I had to pounce. Given the complexity of the TE position (having to learn receiver and blocker) I like the fact Fannin’s been playing regularly for three seasons. He also performed well against power 4 non conference opposition.

[Seinfeld voice]: their uniforms are orange, but they’re Bowling Green? What’s the deal with that?

Like I said, I doubt Jeanty will be around at #20 like he was for me, but I am warming up to the Broncos using that pick on Omarion Hampton and would be thrilled with him and Fannin as the first two picks.

If you want any blocking ability, you probably should be happy you didn't end up with Taylor. He lacked the functional strength to even be solid at it in the SEC let alone the NFL. As good as he is catching the ball away from his body, that hand strength doesn't translate to blocking either. It makes his hands slip outside the pads and is usually a leading indicator of penalty problems. Other than Tyler Warren, you've got to get to somewhere like 6th-8th on most boards to get a true in-line TE (Ben Yurosek, Mitchell Evans, etc.).

Fannin's profile is basically Payton's Joker position to a T. He's a WR with some light blocking responsibilities.

Fannin is #3 on my TE list after Ty Warren and Loveland.

As Shannon Sharpe said about TE blocking: “You have to at least get in the defender’s way.”
 
Solid pick by the lions. Was considering him at the cowboys pick. Was heartbroken when Hampton went right in front of me.
