2025 NFL Draft Thread

Guess I'm one of the few that loves them. This is what gives me a head start on who to watch in college football. Since it's tough to keep up with recruiting and the transfer portal, I rely on these. There's always players the pop up out of no where and of course there's huge misses ala Spencer Rattler.

 

Deon’s kid ain’t going #1. lol. Quinn Ewers is a better QB when healthy.

1. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, DL, Georgia
2. Tennessee Titans: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
3. New England Patriots: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
4. Denver Broncos: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
5. Las Vegas Raiders: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
6. New York Giants: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
7. Arizona Cardinals: Abdul Carter, Edge/LB, Penn State
8. Minnesota Vikings: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
9. New Orleans Saints: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
11. Washington Commanders: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
12. Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
13. Seattle Seahawks: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU
14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
15. Jacksonville Jaguars: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
16. Cleveland Browns: Earnest Greene III, OT, Georgia
17. Los Angeles Rams: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
18. Chicago Bears: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
19. Los Angeles Chargers: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
20. Atlanta Falcons: Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
21. Miami Dolphins: Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
22. New York Jets: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Despite all the hype (including being the betting favorite to go No. 1 in 2025), Sanders wouldn’t be a lock first-rounder if the draft were held tomorrow. The talent is clear, but he must show consistency with his decision-making this fall if he is going to be a top-25 pick.

23. Green Bay Packers: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
24. Dallas Cowboys: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
25. Philadelphia Eagles: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
26. Houston Texans: Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State

Penn State had a pair of pass rushers (Chop Robinson and Adisa Isaac) selected in 2024, but the cupboard isn’t bare in State College. Listed at 6-5, 270, Dennis-Sutton is a long, active edge rusher who can get himself in the first-round discussion with a strong year.

27. Cincinnati Bengals: JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
28. Buffalo Bills: Patrick Payton, Edge, Florida State
29. Detroit Lions: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma
30. Baltimore Ravens: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
31. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
32. Kansas City Chiefs: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

 

Quinn Ewers is getting better but he's overrated to me. I like Carson Beck better than any QB coming out next year, including Sanders. Next year will likely be a defensive draft.

 

ugh they got san fran in the SB and kc winning again?

 

Also like J. Michael Sturdivant from UCLA as a 3rd or 4th rounder.

 

Inconsistent. He can throw 10 straight brilliantly beautiful balls all over the field and then look like an idiot for 4 or 5 in a row.

23. Green Bay Packers: JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
24. Houston Texans: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU*

Perkins is an ideal fit in DeMeco Ryans' scheme. He has spent time at both the first and second levels of the Tigers' defense, but he is expected to be a full-time inside linebacker this season. Perkins is an explosive playmaker, with 13 sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss over the past two seasons, but he has to improve his read-and-react skills.

25. Philadelphia Eagles: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State*
26. Dallas Cowboys: Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon*
27. Buffalo Bills: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas*
28. Cincinnati Bengals: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama*

Man how nice is to see future mocks with the Texans picking at the end of the round ?
