Official 2025 NFL Draft Thread

[spurraider21]

well unfortunately this sub is dead, but ill ceremoniously start this one anyway

my board for the raiders at 6 would be

Membou > Graham > McMillan > Jeanty

[bigzak25]

All good bro.

For me. My Skins board starts and ends with Omarion Hampton. I'd trade our starting RB Brian Robinson and #29 and whatever is needed from our 4th, 6th, and 7th to trade Up to get him.

I suppose as long as Dallas doesn't get him, I'll be happy.

We're in good hands now at GM with Adam Peterson at the helm.

Only other thing is I hope Philly doesn't get too much better.

They're our hurdle to the Superbowl this year.

2nd Rd, I'd take best available DE, LB, CB, or OL.

Whoever the highest rated player is.

NFL draft has improved alot. Still signs of the cool athlete gonna swag loser franchise.

[FrostKing]

Cam Ward?

Trade down

Jags move up

[Robz4000]

Baguars

[spurraider21]

as always, thats quite a haul to move up

but if Hunter becomes a legit Shohei-esque full time two way player, they arguably underpaid.

and of course the raiders take a running back. jeanty is a monster though.

Drafting a CB 2nd overall

Sherussell Sanderson in a free fall

i think he's actually good, just not a star. to me he's like Teddy Bridgewater, who was actually doing fine before he destroyed his knee. i dont really watch college ball until its close to NFL draft time then i go back and rewatch. my impression of sanders from media hype was this manziel-esque wild playmaker. going back and watching him, he was actually just a very sound, accurate passer who is a passable athlete but not a particularly good one. he often had to improvise because their OL was egregiously bad, and he had no problem taking hits while throwing. i very rarely saw him miss throws.

he's just not a plus athlete and doesnt have a particularly strong arm, but imo he plays the right way and is incredibly tough. even if his persona is something like an en led diva, he doesnt play that way imo.

i think he goes in the top half of the second round

bridgewater went #32 overall in his draft, behind bortles/manziel and just ahead of carr. and thinking back, man, 2014 was was such a home run for the raiders overall. last time we had a good draft. wound up with some good talent in 2019 but largely a function of having 3 first rounders (and blowing 2 of them)

[lefty20]

I really don't understand what some fans are thinking. Most of the Bears fandom desperately wanted Ben Johnson, but now they are hating on what is obviously his pick....bruh

We wanted Ben. Now that we got him, LET HIM COOK!!!

[GAustex]

Bears still suck

[lefty20]

Bears still suck

It still hurts

[GAustex]

It still hurts

It did hurt
An anomaly though

Yeah, I agree with most of what you said. I think it's to the point now that most teams are leery, of having to deal with the circus that comes with him. He's just not good enough to have to deal with daddeh. If he starts to struggle, you will have to deal with Deion and his unwanted attention, blaming the team for not properly putting him in a situation succeed.

This is amazing. Deion had a long-term plan to get his .500 record kid a big NFL contract and weasel himself into a head coaching gig. He wedged his foot in the door with Jackson State, acting like he gave a about HBCUs, then bolted for Colorado first chance he got and took his players with him. He oversold it and they sniffed him out.

I don't personally dislike Deion or Shedeur, but this is satisfying to witness the wheels coming off this plan, because it has never sat well with me how he used Jackson.

[spurraider21]

lol deion threatening to pull an Eli if Shedeur got drafted to the wrong situation

[FkLA]

This dude must've gone into interviews with some "i don't need the league, the league needs me" type . The league will overlook just about anything if the talent is there. He insulted the league somehow, imo.

I wonder if he goes completely undrafted

[Millennial_Messiah]

He'll get picked in the 4th round, but it'll be to a backup QB situation, honestly I think a team like Dallas might actually be the best situation, he'll perhaps ride the pine for a year or two more than likely but Prescott has been injury prone and even when he's not injured he has jeckyll and hyde tendencies and fans could easily be calling for Shedeur if Dak stays healthy and the team is still like 3-5 or 4-4 by week 8.

Honestly that might be the best bet for Deion and Shedeur here. Get drafted to a team that has an in bent starter but is injury prone and/or older and not a Tier 1 qb, like Dallas or the Rams. Also don't sleep on the 49ers, they haven't extended bus driver Purdy yet and they should be exploring cheap alternatives to keep most of their roster intact.
