Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

I'll give this draft a A- or B+. They made solid picks. Solidified the OL, added to our defensive woes and added a needed special teams player. Great draft IMO.

Truthfully, those 6th/7th round picks will be lucky to make the squad so I really don't judge by those picks. Special teams players unless we get some lucky production from the RB.

He reminds me of Isaiah Pachenco as far as his legs never stopping and being more elusive than expected.

Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

This is what it looks like when an owner is making picks for your team.

Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

I really like the draft. I think several good edge players will be released as the rookies get in. But clearly our offense is going to be a dominant one. Maybe more than the 91 team.

I really liked our draft as well based on what we had, people gotta remember Tunsil, Lattimore, and Deebo are part of this draft class as well.

Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

Croskey-Merritt will be on the team .. heck he may end up starting! I think my early grade is A , yea we didn't get the edge but we could still land one in a trade or get lucky with a UDFA

They are 100 percent part of it. Including them I give it an A+. Hell without them I might too even with only 5 picks. Croskey- Merritt will be our starter by years end. Lane is a weapon as a receiver and a returner. Conerly fills out our oline and down the road will be our all important LT. We didn’t address Edge but Amos will certainly impact how much time our edge rushers have to do their job. Special teams got some juice too. AP got the most bang for his buck and it was impressive to watch. Absolutely pumped for this season without any koolaid!

Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

If you give AP a lower grade than B, then you should send your resume to Ashburn so you can help them pick better.

I see this draft as being all about speed, smarts, and coachable upside.

Tend to agree with this take, but I think I struggle to award an A-, for me its a solid B, probably B+. The single biggest need wasn't addressed and while I know AP has a BPA philosophy, and reinforcing the OL makes total sense (protect your #1 asset), we're in a division with teams where DL is very important. We'll be facing Barkley and Skattebo in 4 games next year, and a number of mobile QB's. Be interesting to see how he looks at UDFA's and the remaining FA DL out there.

But I can definitely live with the selections he did make. Connerly and Amos should contribute immediately, and Lane will likely contribute in the return game immediately, then in the passing game as he works his way in as hopefully an upgrade over Dyami Brown. The last 2 guys could be sleepers.

honestly this year its the year for Ben S and Luke M to step up ; they should have a impact this year on the team much more so then last year

Re: 2025 NFL DRAFT

Love the first two picks. No clue about rounds 4-7, but speed was needed. That RB is a sleeper.

I’d give Za Darius Smith a call tonight tho
