2025 NFL Draft - Football Thread

[lupedafiasco]

Didn’t think Loveland would go in the 1st. Pushes one down for us. Starting to get close to move up territory for Mykell Williams.

Ok I’ll shut up now. Well I’m basically not excited for anyone in the rest of this class. I guess I want Walter Nolan. Probably shouldn’t have said that.

SF just seems to always find the right years to suck.

This draft has gone off the rails. Had a feeling it would when all the prospects from about 8 on were all over the place. It was impossible to get a beat on anything.

Ain't that the truth. And then everyone will bang the 49er process yet they haven't won &%$@ in 30 years.

Great pick though haha

Cowboys

[lupedafiasco]

Thank god. I expected Grant to go early. Teams always overdraft NTs for some reason. I was terrified Gutenbumst would make that pick.

Ok now this draft is just getting depressing.

Ok now this draft is just getting depressing.

The more I do these mocks or look at other mocks o think the Packers strategy in this draft is pretty clear.

R1 you have to take a DT or Edge. Doesn’t really matter which but I would lean DT because it’s deeper in the 1st round and thins out a little later.

R2 you have to get a WR. After the 2nd unless we plan to move up in the 3rd a lot of players that are ready now are gone. If you don’t come out of the first 2 rounds with a WR you are playing a very dangerous game at the position that desperately needs some who can consistently win against DBs.

R3 you just take what you didn’t in the 1st at either DT or Edge. I think Edge here actually has a lot of talent. You probably don’t get a dominant every down Edge but you can get some pass rush productivity with one of the tweeners or take a swing at one of the size/weight freaks. At DT there is still talent that’s fallen because of how deep the position is in the first two rounds.

From there you can just lean into BPA when trying to fill out the depth of this team at CB, LB, and OL.

This is so silly. Having round-by-round MUSTS is the best way to absolutely ensure that you will spend draft weekend angry and disappointed. I get what you mean. I have tons of trouble this year finding EDGE sleepers and pass rush outside of the early rounds. But there are dozens of ways to arrange a draft class that fits our needs. Not just one.

So who are you hoping for at this point? I am just signing on so haven't looked back at the thread much

[go pak go]

There are a lot of great players still available. We have a plethora of needs.

Barron, Golden, Harmon, Nolen are still all available and all players I had in my "would love to have" list.

[go pak go]

There we go!!!!

Another guy I didn't really want in GB with Ebuka off the board. Assuming PIT takes a QB, we will have a good player available to us.

Pretty much in on Harmon, Golden, or Campbell. Thought we would have no shot at Golden after the Campbell lets you let Quay Walker walk a year from now and rectifies taking a 3rd round prospect in the 1st round a few years ago. Harmon to me offers so much flexibility at DT because he can play NT or 3T.

Forgot about Will Johnson somehow. That would be my top guy I think right now. I see the risks but i also think there’s potential there to be a shutdown CB especially in this scheme.

[MY_TAKE]

I have been harping for WR help. I guess I would love Golden at this point. I am sure it won't happen since it's what I want. LOL

[go pak go]

goddammit.

I was smiling at the kid too thinking how cool it was for Make A Wish and then he takes MY GUY.

[go pak go]

Will Johnson or Harmon now.

[RingoCStarrQB]

Will Johnson or Harmon now.

Either works for me.

[go pak go]

Thing that worries me about Golden is it sounds like Texas was surprised he ran a 4.29

[go pak go]

brutal

[go pak go]

Harmon, Bahron and Johnson were my three biggest crushes as the draft went in our "area"

Sucks to see 2 of them go at 19 and 21
