2025 NFL Combine

It's going to be interesting to see how Charles Grant tests now that he's up to 311lbs. If he does well, he may be my favourite to be the future LT for this team.
 
I guess at this point I am all in on Graham at 4, Best available OT at 38 and then grab one of the wideouts in R3. Maybe package up the Judon pick to get back into R2. You guys have talked me into the short arm thing, although it seems to be THE hot topic this year for some reason. I don't remember it being such a big deal before.

I think the options at 4 excluding Hunter, Carter and Campbell and preferably with a trade down are:

1. Mason Graham
2. Tyler Warren
3. Tet Mcmillan (not so keen on)
4. The combine superstars: Matthew Golden, Shemar Stewart, Jahdae Barron, Jihaad Campbell
5. Ashton Jeanty

Not great value for the 4th overall pick so we need to hope for a trade down.

Don't sleep on my boy Mike Green and others who are waiting to showcase themselves on their Pro Day.

I think it's fair to think that one of the three you mentioned will be there at #4. Cam Ward or Sanders will go top three. Obviously, if Hunter's there at #4 you grab him. Carter is touted by many as really fekkin' good, but I don't know if he's going to be Parsons or Von Miller. Either certainly warrants the pick at #4. Campbell? I am not sure. That short arm thing a concern? Trade back to 6 ort 7? Different story.

I think Golden, Mcmillan and Stewart are too high at #4. Might roll with Jihaad tho.

I'll throw another name/position out there.

Safety Malaki Starks.

I'm no longer in the stick and pick camp if Hunter/Carter are gone. Trade down should be the play if there's one to be had.

One other name to add is Armand Membou who is probably OT1 now.

Agreed, our best scenario is if Carter or Hunter are there, if not gotta hope for a trade down.
 
Somewhere, Ronnie Stanley is smiling widely, Cam Robinson and Dan Moore are feeling good, Alaric Jackson may be throwing up.

It is essential to sign a legit LT1 in free agency and take a chance with one of the better LT prospects even with their substandard arm length. I'm out on Campbell, but would be fine with Simmons or Banks after a trade down, Ersery or Conerly (haven't seen his measurements) at 38. I would not want to see a trade up for any of them. Equally essential is to double up on LT prospects, unless they think they can make something of a guy like Jacobs.

Kinda sucks again amirite?

Membou is the best pure tackle albeit at Right.

That was always the case IMO. There was no LT starter day 1 in this class.

BTW I think Banks projects to be a Guard as well. Despite making the official measurables

Watch 5 of them go in the first round anyway, it happens every year now. There are virtually no LTs in the league at this point that I think are actually elite, and the fact that a guy like Latham who I think was quite mediocre at Alabama goes top half of first round tells me to expect more this season. There are more Evan Neal's and Jedrick Wills out there than there are Tristan Wirfs or Paris Johnson's - a red flag for me looking at an Alabama OT prospect (or a reclamation project for those two guys).

For me the best right now are Wirfs and (when he actually plays) old bastard Williams in SF. I think Mailata, Tunsil, Stanley, Darrisaw, and Armstead are pretty good too (and I think Armstead is retiring). I don't see many others in the league right now that I'd pay a ton of money to acquire. Young guys I like such as Paris Johnson and Fuaga may emerge this year.

Then you take advantage of the depth at DL.

There's other LT projects to be had in the 3rd round as mentioned before.
