2025 NFL Draft Talk

 Well, there were some surprises in the draft, and also some things anyone could see coming. Cam Ward ended up going number 1. Shadeur Sanders ended up getting drafted in the fifth round. I was not the biggest fan of Shadeur coming out of Colorado, but I think he is better than a lot of quarterbacks who got drafted before him. I think it's less on him as a player, and more on teams not wanting to deal with Deon.  The Bears ended up having a great draft. I am a big fan of picking Colston Loveland at pick #10, even though many are saying it was a reach. I understand Tyler Warren may have been better in college, but Ben Johnson is looking for a Sam Laporta-type player. Not only that, but picking up Luther Burden in the second round is an absolute steal. He was a lock top ten pick if he had been able to declare for the draft last year, and I'm glad he fell to the Bears. The only player I thought they would've gone for is Mike Greene. He was still on the board, and they went wit...

 There are always great players in the NFL draft, but there are also busts. In this blog post, I will be briefly running through players I don't think will live up to expectations in the NFL. This could be for a variety of reasons, whether it be on the field performance or off the field issues. For some players, they could still be good players, just not as good as they are regarded coming out of college. For a little background, I truly don't think there are many great players in this draft class to begin with.  Jaxson Dart. I believe whatever team picks him in the draft is wasting their pick. It is nothing against Dart, but I don't think he is very good at football. He won some games at Ole Miss, but I don't really know what he is good at. He doesn't have a particularly good arm, he is kind of mobile, I guess, and doesn't read defenses well. I just don't understand the hype around him, and I think he will be a career backup.  I don't think Mason Graham...

 Every year, there are players not talked about a lot in the draft that make a big impact on the team they are drafted to. There are always players I watch during college football season that I think won't measure well or test well, but they are simply good at football. Sometimes the measurements and analytics just don't matter if someone is that good at what they do. On the other hand, some players are projects, and they take years to reach their full potential, so it is always a tough choice. In this blog, I will be going through two of the players I don't think get talked about a lot, but they could make a big impact on a team.  To start, Mike Green from Marshall has the potential to be incredibly good in the NFL. He measures pretty poorly at a small 6"3 251. This is undersized for an NFL defensive end, but he is so quick and explosive that it could not affect him much in the NFL. This will make it hard for him to effectively stop the run and fill gaps, but the upsi...

 There are many different things to consider when scouting NFL draft prospects. Not only do skill, athleticism, age, and playstyle affect how NFL teams view prospects, but there is way more that goes into it. Just to start, positions are graded differently based on the position's importance. Some people who don't watch a lot of football may assume running backs are a premier position because of how often they touch the ball, but it really could not be further from the truth. It is so easy to find good running backs later in the draft, and you only have to pay them a fraction of what the top guys are getting paid. The reason they don't get paid a lot is because of how many hits they take, it wouldn't be logical for teams to pay a lot of money for these guys just for a couple of years of production. This brings up another good point, it is important to look at the usage rate of these players coming out of college. You do not want to select a running back who started for 4...
