What the NFL Draft Will Look Like for the San Fran 49ers

 The San Francisco 49ers hit a home run a couple of drafts ago taking Brock Purdy. Being able to draft a serviceable quarterback in the seventh round is the blueprint to being able to surround him with talent. Although this is true, Purdy just received his extension, so they don't have that luxury anymore. The 49ers are paying so many players so much money, so they need to really observe what position would be the best for them to secure for the future. 

With that being said, there are many different ways they could go in this draft. It would make the most sense for the 49ers to go for a left tackle, depending on who is left. I understand they have one of, if not the best left tackle in the NFL. Trent Williams is very good, and he just signed a three-year extension, but it will be crucial to have another left tackle in place. Ideally, he would learn behind Williams for the first couple of years, and then emerge as the starter. There are many good left tackles in this draft, but a few who stick out to me. 

As I have said in previous blogs, there are three tackles that stick out to me as the best. I think the 49ers would be right in selecting either Kelvin Banks Jr., Will Campbell, and Armand Membou. All of these tackles are big, quick, and excel with pass blocking. I don't think the 49ers could go wrong with either one at their pick. I don't think all three will be there, but I am unsure who will go first. I think the two best are Banks and Campbell with Membou not far behind. It is always a good idea to pick long starters who played premier talent in college. This is why I think Campbell and Banks are the safest two picks, they were both very good at Texas and LSU, which played some of the best defensive ends in the country.

Patriots and Jaguars on the Clock

 The Patriots are organizationally in a good spot right now. It may not seem that way because of the brutal season they had, but they have close to all of the pieces to field a competitive team. Drake Maye surprised me with his level of play, and he made it clear New England should build around him. With that being said, I think it makes the most sense for the Patriots to try to trade down (preferably with the Panthers at #8) and try to get more picks, while also sneaking out with Tetairoa McMillan. The best thing for this Patriots team would be to get an elite weapon to help with Drake Maye's development, and it looks like McMillan has all of the tools. I will say, McMillan's draft stock relies very heavily upon his combine performance, but I think he will test well. He may not be as fast as some of the other WR's taken in the first round, but his 6'5 frame and change of direction should overcome that. If the Patriots decide to take a defensive player (which could happ...

How the 2025 NFL Draft Will Look for the Titans.

     Hello, I am Jack Houlihan and this is my blog 2025 NFL Draft Talk. I'm sure by the name you could probably figure out what this blog will be about, yes, what teams should do in the NFL draft. That will be the main topic of this blog, but free agency will get brought up a little bit too because they go hand in hand. This is my first blog going off of college film/player scouting so keep that in mind.      As the NFL season comes to a close, the best time for Bears fans rolls around the corner—no, not the Super Bowl, the NFL Draft. This is the best place for teams to acquire new, young talent or trade some of their picks for a veteran player. It is still very early in the draft season (duh the Super Bowl hasn't even happened yet), but it is always fun to project which teams are going to go with what. For this first blog, I will be looking at the Jaguars and deciding what they should do with the #1 pick in the draft this year.      To start...

What Picks 2 and 3 Should Do In the NFL Draft

The second pick of the NFL draft is held by the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are in need of a quarterback, but drafting one in this draft would not do any good; the rest of the team is bad. Myles Garett just requested a trade, so this could mean even more draft capital for the Browns. Regardless of whether Garett gets traded, I believe the best thing for this team is taking Travis Hunter.  I don't think Hunter is an elite NFL wide receiver, but he could make an immediate impact at cornerback. He could still be productive as a wide receiver, but it isn't feasible for a player to play both ways in today's NFL. The pairing of Travis Hunter and Denzel Ward would set Brown's secondary for years to come. The Browns will not be very good next year, so adding premier positions now in the draft is the best move for them. The Browns will have the option of signing a quarterback in free agency, but they are still currently hindered by the contract of Deshaun Watson. The third pick...
