The Official 2025 NFL Draft Thread

The steelers need to trade Pickens if they want a second round draft pick.....

 

Bad first half of season at Oklahoma, than transferred to SC.
I see a lot of Big Ben traits in him. Not a run first qb, keeps his head up looking downfield, good arm and can improvise.
Saints love him

 

I wouldn't complain about any DL or OL in the 3rd. Please....no QB.

 

Sanders and Shough will be gone, but I could see them taking Milroe or Howard in the third. I wouldn't love it, but it wouldn't be disastrous.

Of course, they have that big hole to fill at running back, so maybe that is the pick there.

 

LOVE IT

Firing back. Priceless.

 

RD.3 and we wait.

 

I really like Harmon, but I also really like Darius Alexander and Omar Norman Lott as impact DTs who are day 2 picks, so I'd have taken one of those sweet deals and moved into the 2nd.

There is so much value on day 2 and early day 3 this year, especially at the RB and DL positions.. they need some picks to take advantage of it. They also need to take a QB swing every year till they hit one

 

Though not urgently so, I think the Raiders will still be in the market - the third year of Smith's extension, his age-37 year, is pure base salary. So a high-ceiling developmental guy that could be Geno's understudy for a two years.

Others I would say are still in the market: Seattle, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Jets, Miami, and the Rams.

 

Fair enough. I think Howard at best is a game managing QB. I am NOT against him but picking him in round 2 is like Pickett in round 1, a BIG reach. Now, if they say draft an RB and DB in rounds 3 and 4, and Howard there in round 5 (maybe round 4), cool, solid value there.

They have to draft A QB, by round 4 or 5, Howard may be the best available. I view him alot like I viewed Rudolph when they drafted him, not much upside. Probably capable of starting in the NFL, but not likely average or above average QB. Howard in round 2 or 3, not a fan. Howard in round 4 or 5, perfectly acceptable. There are 3 or 4 other QBs on the board right now I'd MUCH rather have. If the all go before the Steelers round 4 pick, then Howard might make sense there.

 

I agree on DL depth in this draft. I would have LOVED to have traded back 6 or 8 spots, gained a round 2 and round 4 pick and sent back a round 5 pick.

That said, Harmon has serious upside and lots to like. Any DL they got in round 2 would lack some of that upside, but still be a viable starting DT/DE.

They need an RB, but I would NOT be disappointed if they doubled-down on DT or DE in round 3 or 4. While Heyward is there, he can rub off on these young guys and we all know Heyward is a confident, respectable, solid man AND DL. One or two years under Heyward cannot be a bad thing.
