2025 NFL draft

[MuggsyB]

I think Ben Johnson values TE highly in his scheme.

Does he play two TE's? 

[WhiteTrash]

I think Ben Johnson values TE highly in his scheme.

No doubt but he also values RB highly but you don't need to burn the 10th pick on one.

I admit I don't give the Bears the benefit of the doubt (who would?) but I didn't complain about last year's draft.

This draft is weak. Everyone will be looking to trade back, not up. So I'm sure the Bears at least looked into it. If nobody was interested, you just take the guy you want.

Most everyone who is paid to cover and write about football was saying a TE there for the Bears.  Warren made sense, but Loveland reminds people of some of the stuff LaPorta does, which obviously ties to Johnson in Detroit.  There is a lot of talk of Johnson running a lot of 2 TE sets which makes another dynamic TE a need.

You may still think the O Line is weak, but going out and getting 2-3 starting O Linemen in the offseason and then spending a top 10 pick on ANOTHER OL is a waste of resources.  If Membou was there, they probably would have taken him.  But he wasn't, so they took best available that fit what they need.

It wasn't just that it was awkwardly timed/placed, but the delivery was horrific, corny, and Pocono nightclub level cringey.  Colleen Wolfe had the presence and charisma of the random CFOs that end up on stage presenting random Bowl trophies.  That was beyond awkward.

There's far too often times the NFL does stupid stuff like this. Putting that skit out there before memorializing Mongo & Payton made absolutely no sense.

Egbuka to Tampa is the most puzzling pick of tonight.

Oh....alright.  Ty.

I thought if they went WR, they'd go with Golden.

[forgetful]

Well, if the Packers want to go CB or WR they have some great options.

Also some good Edge options.

If I was the Packers and looking at the current board, I'd be thinking of trading back into the 1st round.

That's fair. The draft went poorly for the Bears which is not in their control.  It's not a terrible pick but when they reached on the pick, I'd preferred it was for a lineman and not TE coming off surgery and a below average blocker.

[Uncle Rico]

Hahaha, they picked a WR

[forgetful]

Golden is already wearing a giant G necklace. It's like he knew it would happen.

It's got to be cool to be drafted by the Packers with the draft in GB.

A reach? Below average blocker?

Bruh

Loveland isn't a great blocker for a Michigan tight end but it doesn't matter.  He's productive

[Jockey]

Goin' in, there were 3 guys I wanted in the 1st round. Harmon, Golden, and Green.

So I feel pretty good about the pick.

[WhiteTrash]

Bruh

Slight reach, projected 2nd TE between 15-20.

Nobody graded him well at blocking. He's a hybrid TE/WR.

Giants trade up for Jaxson Dart.

Wilson, Winston, Dart

That's wild, man

This is an extremely weak QB draft. I think the Titans regret signing a QB at number 1 in this draft.

And is Mel Kiper getting paid to promote Sanders?

Right?

And Tommy DiVito.

What a weird trade by Atlanta, giving up next year's 1st.

That's huge for the Rams next year to have multiple first rounders where they're probably going to go for Stafford's replacement.

Agreed, makes the Giants pick a head scatcher. They will have a high pick next year in a better QB class. They may end up with the #1 pick next year.

The Giants have been bad for a long time for a reason.

Kinda head scratching move. But they were criticized big-time last year too (I thought Pennix was a great pick).

[WhiteTrash]

Adam Scheftner said the Eagles have 20 picks in the next two rounds.  Really?
