The 2025 Draft Thread

Would ya'll spend our first on Ohio State's LT Josh Simmons knowing he will not be ready to go at the start of next season
 
No, I don’t think I would. We need players ready to compete and contribute. The only way I’d go for an injured guy that high is if they were so far ahead of everyone else in their ratings that he was to good to pass on.

Giants are taking a QB almost for certain. New England is sitting pretty with the #2 pick and will be all over a weapon like Hunter. Question is if Mara and NY are willing to deal with Deion managing his son from a timezone away, or if they go with Cam Ward.

I could see them not falling in love with one of the QB's and looking for a slight trade back to collect picks. There are other QB hungry team and players like Hunter that will be in demand

I'd rather Sanders not be in NY either but his dad getting involved with NY media could become a lot of fun as the tires come off. It just sucks they are going to be at the top of the draft with all the other bad teams picking up extra wins.
 
I don’t see Schoen or Daboll being in their current positions beyond 2 weeks from now.
 
Looking at how this 2025 draft is shaping up, and having almost a full season with this iteration of the Commies, I’m thinking Peters will go OL early. Our line has been serviceable at best this season, and could use a couple upgrades. Other positions that need upgrades, such as RB, WR, Edge, and CB have decent depth, and with AP’s acumen, I would expect a couple later round gems.

FA will show us a little about what AP is thinking in the draft. Get one solid O lineman in FA, and possibly one other early in the draft. I’m guessing an OL in round 1, unless someone they have highly rated falls to us. RB position is very deep this year, but if Jeanty falls past Dallas to us, I’d run to the podium with his name. Be doubly special if he turned out to be a star, and haunted Cowturd fans for a decade.

One guy I like as a later round possibility is Jake Briningstool, TE from Clemson. Big kid at 6’6” 245, and a willing blocker. Doesn’t have great speed, but may run sub 4.7. Uses his length, and basketball background, to “block out” defenders, and pull in contested catches. Can surprise defenders down the seam if he gets into full stride. Be a nice addition to the TE room, with Sinnott, and Bates. Could fall to 5th, or even 6th, round.

I see your point… but even if his whole job was to slow down AJ Brown so we could win yesterday and give us a real shot at a playoff appearance… acquiring him is a big win for what amounts to peanuts.

That said, corner is back on the table in the draft/FA. With Sainristil and Lattimore, we’re going to need another because of Lattimore’s hamstring.

I agree with this 100% and I trust that Adam Peters will too. Also, looking at the Eagles, you can see how fast you can fix a defense by solidifying the secondary. The Eagles don't generate significantly more pressure than we do, they have 40 sacks on the season to our 39. But look at that pass defense. And you can find corners. It wouldn't be that hard to set ourselves up similarly well.

I see Peters viewing our super bowl window as open beginning next year. He's going to be aggressive. I don't see us going into the draft without having starters we can live with at corner. I'd expect us to sign a starting quality vet at outside CB, maybe Charvarius Ward, and then add depth in the draft.

However, looking at mock drafts, it seems well within the realm of possibility that Benjamin Morrison or Shavon Revel look like the most impactful player, if they are healthy. I'm not sure how I would feel drafting a CB after hip surgery(Morrison), or an ACL surgery(Revel) . What do you think of these two players and what are your feelings about drafting CB's that have had these kinds of injuries?

Also, I am sure we will be looking at weapons, whether in the first, or later on, and Savion Williams caught my eye. He's listed as 6'5" and 225, but I am not sure he's actually that tall. He's a freak athlete, something we don't have a lot of on offense.

GoFrogs: Williams on Feldman's Freaks List

https://gofrogs.com/news/2024/8/6/football-williams-on-feldmans-freaks-list.aspx GoFrogs: Williams on Feldman's Freaks List FORT WORTH -- For the second straight season, TCU wide receiver Savion Williams has been selected to Bruce Feldman's College Football Freaks list. Williams appears at...
forum.killerfrogs.com forum.killerfrogs.com

"The 6-foot-5, 225-pound Williams has a 600 back squat, 355 bench press, 350 power clean and 22.5 miles per hour max speed with GPS tracking. A former high school quarterback, Williams can throw a football 80 yards."







I think there is a good chance Williams will be there in the late 2nd or 3rd. I'd view Savion potentially as being what Laviska Shenault should have been, but did not have the athleticism to be in the NFL. Savion isn't a refined route runner, and I'm not sure how quickly he'd be a down the field option. But, he plays QB. You can put him in in wildcat, you can use him as a utility player chewing up YAC on quick slants or WR screens. We'd still need an upgrade at outside WR across from Terry, but I really think we would benefit in this offense from having someone fast and physical, like a Deebo, that is a risk to turn short plays into explosive plays.
 
Watching the Canes game… Miami was 10-2 because of Cam Ward. Their defense is atrocious (been that way all year) and their second QB came in and showed that he is not capable. That Miami teams sinks back to Earth next year.

Ward is a winner. I want him no where near the Giants.

Give them Shadeur. I’m good with that. But not Cam.
 
OL
Will Campbell, LSU (OT)Campbell is smooth. Everything just looks easy for him. He has active and ready hands. He redirects spins incredibly well and he understands defensive end leverages. He's also really, really patient. He doesn't attack an edge in pass pro just to attack. He lets the edge declare where he's going and then passes off to the true edge when there are line stunts and blitzes. He slides inside well. The only times I've seen him get beat so far are when it's not even his fault. The QB will roll out of an umbrella pocket and essentially pressure himself. Which in film won't be on Campbell, it'll be on the QB.
Kelvin Banks, Jr., Texas (OT/OG)Banks has excellent lateral speed. He can cut off a 3-technique from the tackle position on a regular basis, which is not an easy thing to do. And not only cut them off, but control them. He manages to somehow play with a lot of lean but not get set off balance for it, either, which allows him to have a bit more downhill power than a lot of tackle prospects wind up having. Blitzers don't get a lot of traction on him, he often completely stalemates them at the point of attack and speed rushers, while they can make him work, have a real hard time getting around his frame. As a puller he is actually slower than you'd think he is based on the way he moves otherwise, but he does a real nice job taking care of his responsibility regardless. I am curious if he fits better at guard than he does at tackle, even though I think he could be an incredible NFL tackle... That's not a knock on him at all, for what its worth. I just think this guy could be the top guard to come out.
Josh Simmons, Ohio State (OT)Simmons might be the most slept on OT candidate in this class. He moves really well, including on pulls, he anticipates, can trap or long pull, gets his body in position against fast edges and doesn't contact just to contact. The amount of times he has held back a defender with an extended one arm technique to help another rush with his off hand is scary. This guy, I feel, is being slept on. He has good size, too, at 6-5 and 310. I'm really impressed.
Wyatt Milum, West Virginia (OT)Milum is a bit more of a plodding offensive lineman. His feet aren't butter, but he has athleticism. He gets to the second level really well but sometimes overruns his assignment. I'm guessing that is because he's always looking for the killshot. Which I like in a lineman. But he has to dial that back. He has a very large frame and moves well in his kick to prevent a lot of edge pressures. I love how he coils into contact as well. If a NFL team can harness some of that over aggressiveness this dude is going to be the real deal in the League. He is excellent as a pass protector.
Tyler Booker, Alabama (OG)He is a bad, bad, bad man. I think if asked to use a single word to describe him it would be: Dominant. He displaces everyone he plays, he was particularly nasty against Georgia. But he's also patient, sits in his kick and doesn't lunge into a target. But can also jump set you in pass pro or displace a defensive lineman and then climb to the second level and clear a path by taking on a backer. If he wanted to, he could probably even play some tackle... but I don't see any reason to try that with him. He is the best pure guard in this class.
Cameron Williams, Texas (OT)He is a very patient blocker. He doesn't attack needlessly. He lets action come to him. He has a great "mirror" technique with edge rushers. He doesn't move as well as Banks does laterally, in my opinion, but you can tell this guy has great vision and understands what the DL is trying to accomplish. He redirects at times just as the DL makes a move. That is a rare talent in the NFL. I also think that while he doesn't move as well laterally as Banks, he is actually more athletic and smooth. Williams plays on the right side of Texas' line, but likely because they have what is perhaps the best LT prospect in the class on the other side...
Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota (OT)Have you ever seen a snow plow in action? Not the most dynamic vehicle, has trouble moving around those cars that are parked in the street, but does a nice job preventing trailing cars from passing and will move anything in its way? That is Ersery in a nutshell. If he gets hands on you, you will move. There isn't any other way to go. He had one block on a QB sneak against Michigan that stands out. He contact one guy, dove forward and on his dive wound up blocking two more guys. He's doesn't move like the most athletic lineman in the class, and he has some technical things to cleann up (lunges at times) but he has the tools to be a big time player at the next level.
Tate Ratledge, Georgia (OG)He has the size, athleticism and ability. People are going to debate the top pure guard prospect in this draft between him and Booker. (and add Banks as a potential guard candidate), but I don't think there is a wrong answer there. He moves defensive linemen, has the strength and size and reads stunts and blitzes. He also anchors incredibly well. I think he can play on either side. Quicker rushers are going to be an issue for him at times, specifically the 3-techs that can really get to the QB in the NFL. But otherwise he has everything you want in a long term guard prospect.
Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona (OG/OT)Savaiinaea was primarily a RT at Arizona... But he is a bully in the best possible way. When he makes contact with you, you know. I love the way he just stops would be pass rushers in their tracks half way to the quarterback. He actually looks bored at times out there on the field. Savaiinaea isn't a bulldozer type. He doesn't drive guys into the stands and then devour their young, but he is a steady hand. He could probably drop some weight to increase his foot speed, but you don't want to lose that anchor. Hand placement can be iffy a times. When he loses guys its usually due to where his hands are. I think he may be a guard prospect, but he is a solid NFL tackle prospect. He's 6-5, 336 so the only concern I'd have for him at guard is the QB may havbe a rough time seeing over this giant.
Josh Conerly, Jr. Oregon (OT)Conerly is an on-the-field asshole. And I love it. He makes sure the guys he's blocking know he was blocking them. Little harmless shoves just as the whistle blows, aggressive and nasty demeanor. Downhill and attacking in the run game. He also has quick feet and can keep up with any edge rusher attacking. He could be the overall most athletic lineman that I've watched so far. He is quick as a blocker and can get to any block he needs to. Where he needs some refinement is he sometimes moves his feet too quickly and finds himself out of position. I think his hand placement, at times, can be a concern as well. But these are coachable items that will be cleaned up over time. It'll be interesting to see if he declares - he could be OT1 next year. He also needs to be able to anchor down a bit more.
Donovan Jackson, Ohio State (OG)Donovan is a guy that I feel like we've been talking about for a decade in draft conversations. Explosive, wide base, high IQ, good size and finishes his blocks like a champ. One of the big things I see when watching him is that he can get a little excited pre-snap and completely miss his target when he shoots off the ball and tries to displace someone's head from their torso. He's not a center or a tackle. He's a guard. He doesn't have the movement ability to change positions, so there isn't a lot of flex with him. And he doesn't have the best pulling ability out of the linemen we've talked about. But he has all the tools you want for a guard that could be a part of a franchise for a very long time.
Emery Jones, Jr., LSU (OT)Jones has the tools. Big, strong, powerful, moves with intent and can make all the blocks. He can cut off a 3-technique on a routine basis. Where I have some concerns with Jones is his matcup with a faster edge defender. He seems to struggle a bit with a guy that can get off the ball quick and attack the perimeter. His kick step just can't keep up with that speed. But, to be fair, a wider 9-tech still struggles because Jones is a large frame and can get into space to cut off the wide 9. Where I see concerns is a tighter 5-tech that attacks the edge quickly. He doesn't have the footspeed to keep up on those. But he is really patient and picks up stunts and blitzes well and uses his hands to displace the defenders' momentum well.
Ajani Cornelius, Oregon (OT)Great downhill aggressiveness. Uses his hands well and can take on strong edge defenders quite well. Struggles a little at the second level as the smaller quicker guys can (naturally) out manuever him. He can get high in his kick step at times, but generally gets back to base at contact point. The concern there is if someone spikes from the interior while he is high he's going on his back. But he is a big guy with some power. You can tell the kick motion isn't all that natural for him with how his body moves and he doesn't always maintain contact through the whistle. But he has a strong upside.
Dylan Fairchild, Georgia (OG)Has a wrestling background, which for a lineman is a major plus. He has the tools. Instead of going through the list of those tools I'll cut to the chase: He doesn't create consistent movement at the LoS and he has a lack of experience. He is a developmental prospect with a ton of upside and by reports I've read he is exactly the kind of guy who will put his nose to the grind stone and get it done. I'd select him in the day 2/3 range without hesitation if he's hanging out, especially once you start getting in the late 3rd/4th round area of the draft if G is a need and highly weighted.
Luke Kendra, Cincinnati (OG)The big thing to note with him is that he just doesn't get penalties and in his time on the field he only allowed two sacks in 2023 (haven't seen 2024 numbers yet, but I don't think they are much different). He is an excellent run blocker, but also really stout in pass protection. He is a smaller body at "just" 292, so he may get overpowered by NFL defensive linemen despite his ability to defeat all competition in college. He climbs to the second level really well and has really sound technique. But his size shows itself when trying to anchor. That will be the biggest concern for him in the NFL.
DJ Campbell, Texas (OG)He is a people mover. A pure guard who likes to move humans is always a major positive. Having a bit of that attitude in the trenches can be contagious and many teams really need that from a line draft prospect. He is smart, talented and has a massive frame. He sits at about 295, so lightish, but his frame suggests he has the room to add some "good" weight and anchor. The concern I have here is overall athleticism. Quick twitch DL give him some problems, and since that is the case while he is 295, I wonder how that changes when he is 310ish. Does the extra frame size allow him to ignore the twitch and move them? Or does that slow him down. We'll see.
Jake Majors, Texas (C)He dominates against collegiate competition. Good size at 6-3, 315. Smart, nimble, athletic and a neutralizer. I'm a bit interested to see how he anchors against the mastodons that are playing nose in the NFL as he does get a slight displacement at times at the snap. But most of the time he is really strong. This is a guy I have my eye on moving forward and in what I've seen so far the best pure center prospect in the class.
Anthony Belton, NC State (OT)Very powerful, wide base. He can get beat off the edge at times but he recovers really quickly. He does let his hands slip to the shoulder a bit too often for my liking but he has a stellar anchor, great correction ability and a strong base. I think the thing I like best about him is when he sets his anchor he's really good at continuing to run his feet, transferring his weight back forward and redirecting into a movement block instead of a stalemate that anchoring usually turns into.
Jonah Monheim, USC (C,G,T)This one will be short and sweet. Technically he seems okay, but he just doesn't seem to have the NFL strength to be a starter. He is a developmental prospect with a lot of upside, though, in my opinion.
 
I wonder how much Bowl games count in player assessments. Did Sanders just become the clear number two QB or maybe drop even further than that?

I think the Bowl game showed who Sanders is. My “scouting report” was before the Bowl game and he showed all the things I mentioned. I don’t think he ever should have been considered for no1 overall.
 
All I need to see… (at least he didn’t paint his nails NYG colors)

 
Nice job as always KDawg and thanks for posting your early takes.

Once again I find my roster concerns begin with the OL (followed by WR2). I want Daniels to sustain hits, have a good run game and time for plays to develop downfield. LT is my #1 target but understanding there is not a great amount of talent in the FA market. The only caveat is if they truly believe Coleman can be the LT of the future. That would allow them to look at a possible new RT and IOL.

Thank you for the work and write up KD. Thinking back to last years draft, which of the above do you feel is a significant upgrade/stud over what you saw in Coleman last year?

A bunch of them, to be honest.

I think the tackles, through Emory Jones on my list, are all upgrades.
 
Something to ponder and hasn’t been mentioned much of anywhere is the likely hood if the Vikings make a deep playoff push or even a SB appearance would they let Sam Darnold walk? Hmm I doubt they would specially with the season he has had….

So I could easily see them throwing flyers out to see what teams like the Giants, Raiders Saints etc think of JJ McCarthy who in many ppls view has a higher rating then both Sanders and Ward… to be honest it’s sad so many teams are in dire need of QB’s cause in a normal world neither Ward or Sanders are 1st round picks…. They might be worse than the Daniel Jones , Dwayne Haskins picks… JJ McCarthy could easily get the Vikings a #1…. Specially with his injury being a MCL and not a ACL…. McCarthy on the Giants would be a nice addition to them over Ward or Sanders

I think the only way NYG doesn't end up with the #1 pick is if Philly (if they have nothing to play for in the last game) intentionally loses the game to ensure the Giants don't win (something I would not doubt their FO would stoop to doing).

It's still Delicious though.
Lol.
