The 2025 Draft Thread

I’m similar man, was a soccer striker so speed is my drug lol. It’s cool and friendly and not even sure we disagree. Just might be saying things differently.

He has the explosion. Seems like you’re saying he’s playing cat and mouse on routes and I’m saying he’s thinking too much and it’s a detriment. One way or the other, the gear is there, but one of those things equals great route runner and the other equals room for improvement. He’s an older, slower developing prospect though so generally not great if it’s the “improvement needed” side of things.

OK, cool, I played soccer too. Next to the NFL, my fav watch is the premier league

Tahj was the bigger grower for me. High character. Great pass protector. I like to call him sort of a poor man's Kaleb Johnson because for a big guy, he's not always hot at breaking through a stacked box, but once he accelerates through that first level he's hard to catch -- breaks tackles in open field.

Exactly, I made it clear Kaleb was my guy and Tahj has a similar style and he is a better pass protector. In the 6th round, he ins't expected to e a stud but he will be a great selection at 205

Looks like there may still be some running backs worth a look late. Sounds like some of you like Martinez and Neal. Any thoughts on Brashard Smith from SMU? Maybe we could use the speed.

I don’t think it is a need, but there seems to be some value picks to be had on the interior offensive line.

I would also like to pick a kicker if there is somebody we like.

I know we need pass rush help, not sure if there is anybody there to target, looks like the edge players have been picked over.

Love Brashard as a pass catcher-kick returner. As a RB he's a bit inconsistent to me.

But he would fit the theme we are cooking here with Deebo-Lane. Guys who can do end around, catch short passes and take handoffs. It would be fun to see that.
 
Wow Peebles, and Pegues still there. Sounds crazy as for position considering needs but I'd consider either one. Prefer a RB but those are great value picks IMO.
 
looking at BPA as we begin moving towards our pick one interesting thing...I know....we don't need it but....there are 3 good QB's sitting there Howard, Ewers and McCord. It also doesn't sound like the Steelers are going QB

any thoughts on
Ollie Gordon II
HB
Oklahoma State

He's a possibility. they met with him. Killer season in 2023. Really good hands IMO. Decent pass protect. Not sure about off the field with him, I think a DUI or something?

Among the Rbs left, he's in that brand of Tahj Brooks, Rocket Sanders, Mullings, bigger power backs who can break tackles. Martinez IMO the best left in this brand.

If he's the 2023 version, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Not sure who is the real Gordon? But he's fun to watch in open field once he accelerates and is a good pass catcher.

Miami just took him.

I don’t want to go into another draft with only 5 picks again. Hopefully we fix it next year.

But we added Tunsil and Deboo with picks that were ‘missing’ this season. That’s two elite level starters plus Conerly and Amos - two more guys I’d expect to start.

I will take four quality starters from the draft every year and call it success!
