DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Thread: Day One

[The Gr8est]

At this point the Pats need so much help they can just let the draft come to them, maybe even do a small trade down or two.

Btw Kiper has been having an epic meltdown over Shedeur not being picked yet

I’m glad I chose NFL Network

The inspiration for the "Helmet that looks like your hair" bit from Flight of the Conchords.

lol where have you been man? Time to repost your James White Cameo!

Falcons got a 3rd rounder back, so not as bad as I first thought.

 

[Brick27]

Such a Ravens pick. That will be a nasty safety duo with Hamilton.

 

[ViperGTS]

good pick for Baltimore.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Any idea why Luther Burden is falling? Bad interviews or combine? He might drop out of the 1st now.

 

[upstater1]

Giants trade up for a 3rd

Falcons trade up a couple picks later for a future 1st lmao

Believe it or not, the Giants gave up the same in trade value (according to the chart) as the Falcons did.

Giants: 34th pick + two 3rds = 895

Falcons: 46th pick + 1st rounder 2026 = (Going by the theory that a pick next year = a pick one round later the value of the 1st is 430) 870

I like Campbell over Golden.

The point was we coulda flipped a 2&3 to get back up into the 20s. We are going quantity over quality again, and well, we kinda know how that works for NE at WR...

 

[PatriotSpy]

Starks looks like he's coming out of the tunnel to play!

 

[VJCPatriot]

Seeing the price of recent trade ups, I don't see the Patriots getting back into the 1st. Guess we need to wait until day 2 for our next pick.

There are character concerns.

 

[bakes781]

Commanders don't have a 3rd round pick and are just ahead of Buffalo. I'd be calling to trade up to get Mike Green right now!

Lots of vague rumors about Burden's attitude/character fwiw.

In other news, I think it's fair to say that teams are indeed worried about Josh Simmons' knee.

Rich Eisen can make me laugh, so that helps. After hearing Louisiana lifer Campbell speak, his first comment was, “Safe to say he’s not from New England.”

 

[WhatJustHappened]

That is hilarious.

How ya like me nowww.. how ya like me nowww.... How ya like me NOOOOOOOOOWWW.

No we couldn't. The Giants had to pay two 3rds and a 2 and the Rams had to give up a 2026 first.

 

[VJCPatriot]

If Egbuka and Higgins both make it to #38 who do you take?

Maybe just as relevant, would you take Kyle Williams over either of them at #38?

We can't be burning top 100 picks when there are so many needs to fill, still. You trade back on and get Golden, your next pick is 77, with gaping holes at safety, edge and running back

Yup.
