2025 NFL DRAFT Thread

Seems like most execs hate this draft.. one exec said they don't have a single QB prospect with a first round grade, and that there's little to no difference from pick 11 to pick 32.

From what I've heard (and funnily enough, I think our mock draft supports this), the value in the draft is in early day 2. The difference between pick #15 and pick #45 feels marginal, which is pretty crazy.

I find it interesting the consensus here has been more of Hunter as a CB instead of WR.

WR make significantly more money, and Berry has stated he sees him more as a WR than CB. If I was Hunter I'd be focusing on WR.
 
Looks like the Raiders will pick Ashton Jeanty at pick 6 per mock drafts I've seen.
They need help all over but RB was one of the biggest blights they had last season.
Outside of that, QB/OL/LB/Secondary is a need.

Biggest thing to me is probably that I don't think he can be a full time WR and a part time CB. I think the opposite is doable. I can see Hunter being thrown in for specific Hunter plays on offense. I don't even know what that would entail on defense.

That's a fair point, I suppose if he demands to play both ways, and the team says this is the only way to do it, it would make sense.

Pete Carroll wants to run so it wouldn’t surprise me.

Not disbelieving, but where did you see that quote?

Sadly, no elite edge, OT, CB or WR at 6. Carter and Hunter gone by then. I’d personally lean Will Johnson or Graham over a RB.

Per Schefter, both Browns and Giants taking calls on their 1st round picks.

Teams want Carter or Hunter. Not calling on Shedeur imo. They are the only 2 guys worth moving up for in this draft.

This draft really pales in comparison to 2021 for non QBs. Where you had the likes of Chase, Waddell, Smith, Sewell, Slater, Surtain, Horn, Parsons, Pitts, go. Pitts has been the biggest disappointment of that group. Horn, a couple of injuries, but still got paid by Carolina.

The rest of the non QBS in this draft don't really compare to that group above after Carter/Hunter. Johnson might have, if he was as healthy as a JR as he was as a SO.

How close to the draft were we last year when it came out that the Bears, Commies and Pats had all basically said the picks weren't getting moved? I'm a bit surprised that the Browns and Giants are willing to move off of Hunter and Carter, since they seem to be by far the safest bets in this draft.

I think there is the age old quality vs quantity aspect for these 2 clubs. Browns are both cap strapped and draft pick limited after the Watson trade. They need multiple young cheap starters. Giants, multiple under developed draft picks so need help in a few areas.
Plus, last year you don’t trade out if you need a qb and there are qbs available for you to take.

The last holdout was the Patriots. The week before the draft, they said they were open to trades. ~5ish days before Round 1, we got the big writeup that they would consider a completely ridiculous offer, but they essentially know they're making the pick.

No one would turn down the Bryce Young package this year. Have to do the due diligence to see if someone will overpay.

There are limited players that are worth a trade up. Once Carter and Hunter go, kind of a pickem for the rest of the players who will go by pick 12.

I don’t think going from 12 to say 4 this year (if Carter and Hunter are gone) will cost what Hou gave up back in 2023 for Anderson. Which was a 2 plus a 1 and 3 in 2024. On top of the pick swap.

No one else who is elite at a premium position. No OT, DE, CB, WR.

This draft is essentially:

Elite tier:
Carter, Hunter, Jeanty

Next tier:
Graham, Campbell, Membou, Walker, Warren

(Ward - simply because he's a QB. Probably is QB6 at best last year)

And then everyone else from like 10 to 60 is about the same.
