The 2025 Draft Thread

I knew David Walker looked good at the Senior Bowl, but these are dominant reps, and he had 2 sacks in the game.

He’s a little sawed off at 6’1” with arms just under 32 inches, but he did weight 263 and his athletic testing numbers looked good. I’d love to grab him at 128, but I’m not sure he lasts that long

Trade down, get more picks and select Walker in the 3rd, good to go.

I've seen Golden drop to us pretty often. Also see him just outside the top 10.

I wonder if McMillian might drop to 29. Would probably mean a big DB run before us unfortunately.

That would be a great pick though.

Yeah I have seen that as well

I would be a bummer if there's a big DB run but it would also mean probably some OL, WR and/or Edge drop to us unexpectedly.

It would also mean teams may want to trade into our spot!

Any thoughts on Ashton Gillotte DE from Louisville?
6'3 265 and his RAS is 9.75.
IMO, worth a look.

 

[The Chump Bailey]

What's everyone's least favorite pick in the first if we stay put - player or position?

Mine would be WR

 

[RedWolf]

I know we need Edge and secondary but I want our offense to be stacked. I would be happy if we got Edge in the first and running back in the second or vice versa

 

[HoggLife]

Im really wishing Hampton in the 1st. But I doubt he drops to us. If we had a stud RB to go in this Offense we would be unstoppable i think.

 

[DogofWar1]

Mine would be WR

Quarterback

Outside of that, probably...DT.

I like him. I believed I picked him in our mock- here- I would love to get him. I think he is rated too low.

P, K, LS, C, QB should be obviously off the board.

I'd be happiest with the small trade back, want a CB, Edge, RB, WR and OL in the first 4 rounds.

 

[RWJ]

Give me EDGE, CB, S, RB, OL

I think a stud RB and a stud RT.

TE or CB

So I am sitting here watching Shemar Stewart film and he fails at the swim move, spin move, and rip move. He also fails at techniques such as the dip and bend and hump move. Sure he can bull rush and speed rush but that's about it.

Once you get through the top tiers of TE one guy that will go in the 3rd or 4th is Oregon's TE Terrance Ferguson. I really like him, he is a do it all TE who could line up any place although we wouldn't live as inline. 6 5 247 with good hands and speed, decent blocker.

A little later like the 5th or 6th round I liked was Syracuses Orande Gadsden II. 6 5 243 speedy, productive, moves, run routes and catches like a WR with big play ability. He would be nice to into the group and use his height and wingspan to his advantage in the redzone.

I like Caden Prieskorn from Ole Miss a lot, DW. He could be had as a 7th or even an priority UDFA. Check out his highlights below. Strong handed, blue collar TE.

9 rough 2025 NFL Draft diamonds the Commanders could unearth on Day 3​

All aboard all of these suggestions with the exception of Frazier who I've cooled on the more I watch

OLB/Edge Kaimon Rucker
CB Quincy Riley
RB Trevor Etienne
CB Jaylin Smith
LB Jay Higgins
OG Miles Frazier
WR Kobe Hudson
OT Gerard Christian-Lichtenhan
RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Riddick thinks Riley ends up going in the 2nd round. Will see. I just watched one game, stick in coverage, misses some tackles in the run game. Big time career ball hawk which clearly we need.

Etienne seems to be liked more by scouts than the draft media. If all I read about that is on the money, he could go late 3rd.

Miles Frazier is a real solid guard.

I got to watch Jaylin Smith, I know this team has done multiple interviews with him.

Kobe Hudson's metrics are fairly bad, a lot of drops, pedestrian speed, I haven't been motivated to watch him.

I watched more Croskey-Merritt this morning. I think I've decided I like him but far from love him. I watched more Tahj Brooks, and am digging him the more I watch.

He, Conyers, Joshua Simon, Fidone, among the 7th-UDFA

Ferguson was the first TE I mentioned here. I think he's good value in the 4th, don't love him the more I watch him. Needs to be more physical at the catch point IMO. But otherwise jack of all trades, master of none, high floor #2 type IMO.

In that range, I'd roll the dice on Fannin over Ferguson. Though Fannin might go earlier. Fannin hits me as boom-bust but he's an intriguing roll of the dice as a seperator-YAC guy.

I watched some Gadsden. He to me is more of Johnny Wilson clone, an oversized WR, versus a TE. His frame just doesn't hit me as a TE, its not his weight but he lacks that thick frame. If they like that fit at slot, I can roll with it. But he to me looks like a WR not a TE.

Definitely on both Fidone and Simon but Simon is that dude!
