2025 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

[JAAM]

Our safety room past this year would look awful. On top of that we now get to fully utilize Hamilton.

Literally the most important part of this pick lol. Kyle about to absolutely feast

 

[QtR Nevermore]

I need iq from the safety. He can run and catch the ball, but can he play safety

I really didn't want Starks but I think he's going to be a good safety. He is smart. He'll help us.
It's just missing the opportunity to take the best big guys (again and again) that annoys me.

 

[cobrajet]

Rather have Simmons but I don’t hate the pick

 

[QtR Nevermore]

Hearing OL is priority early tomorrow

A day too late

 

[Simba]

Can ardarius play in the slot? Is Hamilton gonna play a lot of slot? Marlon?

Ar'Darius was a slot his first 3 years here before moving to S last year. I think you'll rotate all of those guys. Creates confusion.

idk who's gonna be left for us at 59 though

Josh Conerly, Josh Simmons, Aireontae Ersery and Marcus Mbow are the only guys i'd be interested in with a high pick and i can't see any of those 4 being on the board at 59...

unless they've got a massive grade on Anthony Belton (who i like but is 65th on my board)

hamilton and marlo will both play a ton of nickel

Probably switch it up often

I wanted trenches I can't lie.

But Starks is a very good football player so can't be mad. Next few picks need to be all trenches though.

The Washington Mandalorian helmets are cool

 

[Simba]

I wonder if part of the Simmons concern was his ability to slide inside. He feels about as pure OT as it gets.

(yes I mixed him up with Donovan Jackson earlier tonight)

 

[RaineV1]

Simmons medical red flag is really scaring teams.

 

[Davesta]

Chiefs gonna just chill there at 31 and get the best tackle prospect in this draft class huh.

Do you think we'll be in range for a good DL or edge?

simmons played guard in high school
nothing says he can't slide inside but obviously projects best to tackle

I want to know what the conversation was that pivoted to Starks

A day too

I’m only saying what the resident nephew to the boss said on FaceTime lol. He did pivot to Starks, but the board was legit. Simmons was ranked like 10 or 11 spots ahead

 

[Simba]

That's more what I was getting at. I think if you need a T, you probably take him without question. G? Maybe some pause.

 

[rossihunter2]

yeah should be DL available in all of the next 3 rounds that I like unless there's a big run
EDGE will clean out a little bit but there could be guys in R2 and R3 I like

You're saying without the medicals, Simmons was the pick?

i doubt they pivoted
i could imagine simmons having a better pure grade but having medicals and character stuff push him down

would be odd for this to be the draft where they don't go BPA for the first time ever to pick a "low value" position
