Well, we made it friends.
The concept day is here, and within a few hours every “bold prediction” that is made in this piece will look like a brilliant piece of prediction, or just thrown another handful of spaghetti on the pre-draft wall.
I hope we get at least one of this right.
Ashton Jeanty comes from the board at number 5
The NFL is, if nothing else, Copycat League.
Subshing works for one team on the way to a super bowl, and soon 31 teams try to imitate blueprint. An example of this? Sub of the discussion about the Philadelphia Eagles that comes from Super Bowl Lix, and how that has framed the thinking among teams in the NFL design of 2025.
Such a team is the Las Vegas Raiders, who are number 6 and are linked to Boise State RB Thourout the pre-Draft cycle. This is what their new general manager, John Spytek, had to say about the position just a few days ago:
We just saw Saquon Barkley the Eagles change in a year. Now they had a great team around him and it added an elite player. I think when you are where we are, I am the idea to add elite players to every position. I try not to devalue a certain position. … there [are] Certain ways to build a team, and I don’t know where we have come in a place where we don’t feel like running back are appreciated. I eat from the University of Michigan to my core, and those guys were certainly really appreciated there, so it’s hard for me to get away with it.
However, he may not get the chance to use that card.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are number 5, and if you are a team that wants to add Jeanty – and there are a few – reaching number 5 is perhaps the only way to guarantee that you can prepare Jeanty.
A team will take that step. Best gamble here a day before the design? That team is the Chicago Bears. There have been rumors from Ben Johnson looking for what he had in Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, in Chicago with Jeanty and d’Ar Andre Swift.
A move to No. 5 Wold guarantees that.
Of course many believe that Jacksonville could set up Jeanty at number 5. Peter Schager In his only trial version of the season, scenario gave birth.
We thought Jeanty was number 6, but now no. 5 Sems the place.
Round 1 has more RBS and TES than QBS and WRS
Quarterbacks and wide reiversinivers have moved the needle in recent years.
But this year can be different.
Questions lingers about the quarterbacks that this concept class crowds. Cam Ward is expected to first go to the Tennessee Titans, but then the questions begin. When will Shedeur Sanders come off the board? Will any quarterbacks – Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe or Tyler Shaugh, for example – come to him in the first round?
There is a chance that we will only see the two QBs in the first on Thursday evening.
The broad were received. Although this is a deep group, we can also only a few WRs in Tetaira McMillan and Matthew Golden on Thursday evening. Then? There seem to be a lot of solid day two options.
Turn tight ends, three will probably come from the board in the Cracst round: Tyler were from Penn State, Volston Loveland from Michigan and Mason Taylor from LSU. There is even a chance that a player like Elia Arroyo from Miami will join them.
Regarding the running backs, Jeanty is a lock in the first round, and the Sems Omarion Hamption is also (we look at you, Sean Payton). The state teammates of Ohio, Treveyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, are also on the door of the first round.
When the first round ends on Thursday, chances are that we have more RBs and TEs than we do WRs and QBs.
Cleveland Browns acts from the second overall choice
Since the NFL combination, the browns seemed to have been locked up in selecting one of the four prospects with the second overall choice. QB Cam Ward will have disappeared, QB Sheder Sanders does not fit in with the valuation, those leaves of Abdul Carter and WR/CB Travis Hunter.
GM Andrew Berry has usually said nothing about something related to his team and selection. This year, Berry has been exuberant in his praise of a few prospects and it appears that the Hunter team is drawing up with the second overall choice (as well as a hint of wanting to draw up QB Jalen Milroe later). Many have wondered why the sudden change in tactics.
Building the hype surrounding Hunter and making the plans of Cleveland only makes up the possible leverage of the trading. At Dawgs from Nature we suggested potential trade download with the Jacksonville Jaguars that can help achieve multiple goals for the browns, because rumors have started with SWIR.
A team that chooses early round 2 moves back to round 1
Circle the Giants of Browns for this daring prediction, because I think one of those teams is jumping up again. Neither will choose a quarterback with the 2nd or 3rd pick, but Gene in the 1920s and suddenly the quarterbacks begin to look much better.
Minnesota at no. 24 is an obvious partner. It would allow Eithher to jump the browns for the rams at number 26 for Jalen Milroe, or the Giants to land Tyler Shaugh with whom they seem to be in love with. What is even more important: getting Eithher from these guys in the 1st round instead of the 2nd enables them to get the 5th annual option, which is crucial for a quartz back.
I think one, maybe both will jump to get them guys.
