DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Day Thread: Day Two

[manxman2601]

So, the Vrabel era has got off to a good start. No weird selections, no reaches for 2nd round DBs.

Wilson would be great value here

Best center in Rd 3

 

[fnordcircle]

Wilson ran a 4.84 at the combine at 310 pounds.
Fastest 40 of OL. Excellent long jump & vertical. Explosive player.

So he can be a better return man than that bum Connolly.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I liked Wilson at 77
Ended up getting him
Plus a 4th and 5th

LT, RB, WR, C. I think this is what we wanted, right. I like it

Can we replace a Georgia center with another Georgia center?

This was around pick 58

 

[Triumph]

Great value here.
Total rebuilding of the line, as Vrabel had intimated in his earliest interviews.
Highly regarded center who fell.

The all offense draft.

 

[manxman2601]

LT, RB, WR, C. I think this is what we wanted, right. I like it

Defensive line at 106 perhaps?

 

[Ross12]

The all offense draft.

Went heavy defense in free agency so it makes sense.

Very good draft so far...

Is Wilson going to beat out Bradbury as a rook? Not going to pretend like I know his game.

If he does, that would node very well for his future.

Very well could. He has the goods.

Also Bradbury is a two year deal and means nothing for long term prognosis. Can easily get out of year 2 as well.

This is turning out to be the McDaniels draft so far.

I don't agree. It's an OFFENSE focused draft, but the offense was where they were the weakest.

They've addressed needs and made one pick at WR that was a "luxury" pick, IMO.

They still needs a CB, DE, DT, and Safety. I'm not sure that there is a "Field General" type Coverage safety still available in the draft.

My binkie is JJ Pegues. A DT/FB who I think would be good value in the 5th round..

Favorite part of the draft so far. Not a single WTF pick yet, which has been a regular thing for years it seems.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I love this pick. He should start for us soon. Had a 2nd on me overall for my grades and a 3rd on him on the ptp board. 5th IOL for my grades overall. I thought he could have snuck into the top 30-40 bc hes the top rated C on a lot of boards I suspect. Love his makeup. Tough, very athletic, big dude - wide, plays with very good torque. Big powerful hands with very good placement. One he touches you it's a problem. He has the best recovery of any C in the draft. The ability to stay to shifty guys. Makes to to his spots in the 2nd level easily. I love this pick. Again he's going to start for us imo.

 

[Ross12]

What big holes does this team still have in 2026 as of now? Free safety? Seems like a pretty solid roster…

 

[Lansdowne]

Took the top center in Wilson, I love it! Was feeling squeamish about all the trading down but it’s looking great thus far. Nobody’s felt like a reach. What is this feeling???

 

[Thunderhead]

If he does, that would node very well for his future.

No doubt. Should be great competition at that spot however it plays out.
