2025 NFL Draft Thread

Putting aside the last one cos picks in the 200s are lottery tickets imo.

Pretty incredible what happened with them. I mean maaaybe Bowman plays nickel(?) someone help me out, but the Falcons have essentially dedicated their entire draft(and a big chunk of the next one) to 2 positions, edge and Safety. And tbh the actual players themselves i find it hard to criticise on an individual/pick-by-pick basis. But from a more over-arching roster building perspective, WOW...

Granted there were limited picks and there's a LOT in place already on Offense, particularly at the skills. And its not like the Falcons have a bad OL by any means. But all that said i would've def put a higher pick into O-Line. You may actually have The Guy at QB, and while he's not a statue he's also not a fast moving target, i would've got another blocker. I thought Xavier Watts was a nice pick at 90something, but i do wonder how crushing it was for C Jared Wilson to go one pick before them. What is the plan at C?

 

Falcons traded up to 96 for Watts specifically. They weren't after Wilson.

 

Good catch Joe, thanks. Very interesting.

 

I'd know because it was with the Eagles. According to the interview the Eagles wanted Ty Robinson but felt they could trade down as similarly graded players should be there if they couldn't get him. Traded down 15 spots with 2 quick moves. Falcons moved up 5 for yet another future pick given away.
