2025 Draft thread

[Deus Irae]

Tet McMillan's NFL comp is Tee Higgins... Like Will Campbell, many "experts" feel #4 is too high for either player.. I'm not so sure. What is the expectation for a top 5 pick? I would say it's at the least, a difference maker with a high chance of a second contract. So if Will ends up a top 10-ish LT, if Tet is a 80+ catch, 1100 yard, 8 TD guy... I'm fine with either at #4.

Specifically with Will, if he's a very good LT and solidifies that position for like 8+ years it's a great pick.

These people need to justify their salaries. So they're not going to say "anyone who's a quality 10 year starter is a good pick, even in the top 10", because that won't drive ratings/clicks/views. But that's the reality of the draft. Of course you want to draft a generational player, but the odds are always against that, even in years where the draft is supposed to be stacked, and those "experts" know that.

And this year is considered to be a very down year at the top, so "it's too high for that player" at the very top of the draft is even less meaningful this season than most.

i really want Carter at #4 but may not happen

Travis Hunter actually scares me a bit because everyone has him projected as a CB that would dabble at WR... but we need a true stud WR1

if Campbell solidified the LT role for the next 10 years, it would be a great pick at #4 even if we "reached" for him.. Matt Light was drafted in 2nd round, but if we had to redo that draft i would take him at #4 if we had a huge need at LT

we just cannot afford to miss with our 1st and 2nd rounders

Carter or Hunter at #4. If both gone, trade down for a team who wants Sanders at QB.

Anything other than this will mat my ass hair and cause me to have an epic tantrum.

All of you with Carter as your target need to ask yourself where he's going to play in the Vrabel defense.

I am greedy so I'm on team trade-down if it net's us the right player and picks.. But our greatest need IMO is Left Tackle, and if that spot is solidified for years to come that really free's up resources to fill all the other holes, WR, EDGE, FS, CB, OG, LB etc.

My limited understanding of Vrabel's D is that he would play DE. Carter is supposedly a capable run stopper in addition to being a very good pass rusher. I know the local pundits are assuming we'll run the same one-gap, even front, more zone heavy defense, but I'm not so sure. Mainly because I don't know that we have the personnel to run it, and I think they are underestimating the influence that DC Williams might have.

From what I've read:


We don't have his combine weight, yet, but current weight listings have him under 260 pounds.

He's definitely undersized compared to guys Vrabel used in Tennessee.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will not work out at the Scouting Combine.

Sanders will interview with teams but not participate in the on-field workouts, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Sanders does plan to throw at Colorado’s Pro Day, where he’ll have receivers he has worked with in college to throw to. He’ll also have his father and head coach, Deion Sanders, overseeing the event...

Shedeur Sanders won’t work out at the Combine

Shedeur Sanders won’t work out at the Combine

Think we are going to see a lot of this with the top QB's. Think I saw Ward wasn't going to throw

Fingers crossed.

I was listening to some different scouting reports on WR's today... This is not a good draft to find a #1 outside WR. Tet is a clear one. but all the other top 1st-2nd round guys are not really it. Even a bigger guy like Egbuka was something like 74% slot player last year. Burden and Golden scare me... bust potential. If there is a guy on day 2/3 i want to take a sot at it's Tre Harris

Patriots have to be looking at this draft and thinking something along the lines of:


The WR/CB and the Edge are probably both going to be gone, probably along with one of the QBs, so do we

• Take the LT
• Take the DT
• Trade down

Because I really don't see any other moves at the 4, do you?
