Very strange, there were some nice slot WR's we could have had also(not that we need more but I mean to up the quality and youth)

I'm not seeing WR at all as a need. The DL seems obvious and TE and CB seem to be positions of need.

But my concern is trying to be smartest guy in the room with the safety pick. The guy a lot of local guys like went at pick 96. I mean imagine the difference if we traded pick 64 instead and still got the safety at 96.

This is where we hope they know things we don't know.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25174071-bhayshul-tuten-nfl-draft-2025-scouting-report-virginia-tech-rb Like this kid too,I know we looked at Blue,but this kid could be better COP and 3rd down dude maybe a returner

I mean we could have traded 64 a bunch of times over to get to pick 111 and loaded up on other picks...and or even had a 3rd player....or even the same S we drafted?

It is what it is... we really don't know. Lol

My WR I always had was in round 5. He is in the 4 consideration range now. I was never like Ham who wanted a WR in round 2 lol

The talking heads on the NFL TV network blathered obsessively about Shedeur Sanders in every single segment of their Day 1 and Day 2 draft shows. Blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, IDK Howie was the only guy that was openly applauding the pick. As soon as it was announced I was like MEH. Arroyo was still there,Ravel at CB was still there,so IDK what's going on

I didn't see Fangio high 5 ing Howie LOL. Just very strange

Deion should be on the phone with Jerry offering to pay him to draft his kid in round 4. That's how bad it is LOL

They sure seem to have wanted him, didn't seem that much time on the clock for them to even talk to another team about a trade?

The guys on the radio here aren't too impressed with this pick, saying there are a couple safeties they had rated higher...Winston and Watts.

I'll admit I have Winston and Watts higher.

Most are grading Kumbaya as A- or B. Seemed like a huge reach to me,but probably why I m not a pro scout LOL

Don't get me wrong I love the player but though it was a little earlier than I had him ranked. Great cover S the best in the class according to pff ratings.

Howie ignored both lines. Kind of odd after we lost so many from the D side. IDK it's a very weird draft this time

I stayed up all night cause I love ya (yeah right),but I did stay up. I complied a list of who we can take. I left out WR, S, LB and RB. Im sure we will grab 1 like my boy Donte Thornton. I will rank them in the order they appeared on the big composite board by ranking number. You decide who we take and what round. Here we go 1)Mbow-OL-Purdue rank -65 2)Jack Sawyer-edge-OSU-67 3)Braden Swinson-edge-71 4)Josh Farmer-DT FL ST -86 5) Gunner Helm-TE-109 6)Denzel Burke-CB -OSU -121 7)aenieas Peebles-134 8)David Walker-Cent Ark -135 9)Ty Hamilton-DT-OSU -144 10)Jalen Travis-OT-148 11)Rylie Mills-DT-ND 12(Elijah Roberts- DT./edge-SMU-154 13)Yahya Black -Iowa-209...................... In round 4 we pick 9 picks from the start(111) than again 19 later at pick 130. The rest are the 5's*3" and 1 6th. So 6 picks left and as I said we may snag a WR or RB out of this mess,but these are the BPA's in order.Out of the first 4 you may get one one them,maybe 2 tops, the rest ill comprise round 5 and 6. I still think we should take Shadeur just for the value alone. Break him free from the drama because he's not this bad. If he keeps up with the TMZ drama,boot him out but I think he would be humble and thankful we gave him a shot and that huge chip on his shoulder will get him to work every day LOL. I will put my picks up after a little nap. remember it starts at NOON today

Did we not have a 3rd or did Howie trade it?

Maybe they found another Mailata out there

Gannon got Nolen in Zona makes total sense.

• Round 1, pick 5 (from Jaguars): Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

• Round 2, pick 33: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

• Round 2, pick 36: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

• Round 3, pick 67: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

• Round 3, pick 94: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon (read more)

Cleveland pulling a legit solid draft. Fannin be great for them since they didn’t get their superstar CB/WR. Big rock in the middle at DT. That position takes time. Couple of years he’ll develop that pro man strength. Solid LB that maybe isn’t a superstar….but I see his floor being very high. Can’t miss starting piece. Gabriel? Felt like the QB depth was what this draft had to offer. Take a swing at one.

Cowboys always nail the draft. I can’t believe they got their Oline first. Booker another Bama big boy coming from great coaching. Then some how got ezaruiku. Then CB Revel. Geez….all top first rounders. Can’t stand those guys….but just no denying how things are playing out for them so far.

Raiders trying to copycat us. How else you explain their draft approach? Jeanty then two run blocking big Oline.

It’s a draft full of fluff talent….but has plenty of different flavors for all.

Great analysis for the other teams, any opinions on the Eagles?

Isn’t that kind of a Pete Carroll thing strong D play with a ground game? At least that was the winning formula for Seattle in the early years of Russ

Not that we'll see it, Robinson played some FB for the Cornhuskers.
