NFL 2025 Season


I am a bit baffled by that Falcons move to trade up. Giving up next year's first round pick to move up to no. 26?

I don't get it

Great for LA though. Probably a top 10, or top 15 pick next year when they will need to replace Matt Stafford
 
So, as some had anticipated, Jihaad Campbell is an Eagle. Another solid first round draft pick on the face of it! Hopefully he stays healthy next season because the kid has bags of potential.

Bit surprised that Sanders got a first round snub..
 
Chiefs took the player I predicted in Josh Simmons. A risky pick, due to injury concerns, but the best lineman left. I still think we need better outside weapons and hope they are adressed somewhere down the line in this draft.

My good friend Packers fan (who is sharp) wanted anything but. Pundits all think he's wrong. It's possible to tell the difference between Saban and Herbie saying nice things and when they believe. They know their stuff.

I don't think he's the next Rice or Fitzgerald, route running is  the skill at the position, but I do think they finally handed Love a #1. It's sensible, given a late first. If Love can't do it with all the pieces, what comes next is now obvious.

Christian Watson is the best receiver when fit but he might not play much at all next season because of the injury. I think that's why they finally went for a round 1 receiver.

WR is a weird one in the sense I think it's the easiest position to project, but there are still a ton of surprises. Most guys make the leap after the draft, but it's easier to tell who can do it.

I've seen three special ones in college since Moss rewrote the rules. Fitzgerald, CJ, Crabtree. Of the three, I had the most doubt about the last. I've missed a ton of first-rate guys along the way. Harrison's kid is a step down from those three, but is also the best I've laid eyes on since, in college.

I get where my friend is coming from. I want routes, no drops and Gary Clark's intangibles, like blocking. The legends are always something new, complete with identity. No one will ever be Rice 2.0. He runs routes and gets out of bounds without contact better than you.

Watson is not a sure thing, or a workhorse. He's a project in all the wrong ways. I think it works out, but if it doesn't the failure will be spectacular. He's a pays your money and takes your chances pick, which is why he does not appeal to a Packers fan.

That smith kid at ohio state looks something special, he woulda been first receiver picked this year at 19 years old if he was eligible for the draft

As a packers fan, I liked the pick yesterday. I'm not a college expert by any means but from what I've seen Golden can add a lot of pace and a deep threat for Love. And that's going to be important next season when Watson is likely to be out till Thanksgiving.

The receivers in GB weren't good enough last year. At the very least adding competition to that position is a good thing and hopefully improves the other players too. They all have talent but they all underperformed last year.
