2025 NFL Draft

Got the O that should have been OLB.
But thanks as no one would have been able to figure it out

 

Dropped to 5th this week unless Las Vegas wins tomorrow.

 

If we lose out, we could end up with the #2 pick which is QB territory.

Love to take Las Vegas picks to drop back to #5 again. Another 2nd and 3rd round would be nice

 

I can't see any of this season's QBs being anywhere near a top 15 talent. That is not to say that there won't be panic picks.

 

We'll know more when the season ends but if you're picking 2 and not going qb Canales is tying himself to improvement next season or else. Not sure he won't go for "his guy" as almost always happens when a coach is hired to fix a qb.

And they gave up significant assets to get Bryce when he might be a fringe playoff qb that needs more assets to keep him viable. So maybe get used to no defense december.

 

If they hire Salah as some have speculated, then yes, you're drafting completely different styles of DT/DL. You can basically take the NT types of the board, since Brown will slide back into that defense's version of "nose" - which is basically interchangeable with his current position of 34 DE.


You're also bringing the speed rushing DEs back into the fold at that point. Unfortunately, you'd be stuck with Clowney and Wonnum as your starting DEs for another year, since neither guy has cap savings from an off-season cut. There's your square peg/round hole scenario.




The DC decision is Canales' first major fork in the road moment. If he screws it up, he's probably fired within the next two years. I don't think he can "fix" Young enough to cover for fucking up the other side of the ball.

 

Raiders really look like a Number 1 picking team
