DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Day Thread: Day Two

[DaBruinz]

Nah you all said we were set. I respectfully disagreed, as did Coach Vrabel. We move forward!

So, you're resorting to lying now because that's not what was said.

 

[Brick27]

This has been awesome. BPA defense at 77 feels right

 

[Kdo5]

I wish they took Noel. Idk about this guy.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Big draft board favorite, plenty of upside, legit speed.

So...defense now? Yes?

Draft a long-term center with one of the remaining picks (maybe even only need 5th rounder) and can focus on defense the rest of the way.

 

[jimnance]

Really like this pick. Noel was 1st choice but this kid has potential.
Pars offense greatly improved from last year. So is the D.
2025 gonna be very different from 2024.

NFL network quoted Steve Smith as saying “Williams is the dog of dogs, he reminds me of me.”

I know pre draft, Smith loved Williams.

 

[Joey007]

I wish they took Noel. Seems like our next bust WR as is tradition.

Still could double dip at 77. Why not lol

 

[PatriotSpy]

We’ve really added some speed and athleticism to our offense today. Want to get faster, draft fast guys.

This has been as close to a chalk/consensus board draft as we’ve had in a while.

We got some Ferraris to go with our Lamborghini (Maye)!

 

[PatsFan2]

We could probably still get Noel.

 

[Ring 6]

Thats exactly what they are thinking imo. They can get a WR or whatnot in next years draft IF none of these guys pan out. Give defenses something to worry about, protect Maye and those guys might surprisingly get better. Add in better coaching....

Add Williams and now you are counting on the best of Williams Boutte, Bourne, Polk. One should be able to be decent.

 

[manxman2601]

And explosive. Some of his highlight plays are awesome.

Watch the first play

 

[patchick]

Josaiah Stewart at 77 please.

Works for me! But I'd also be happy with a hard-hitting safety or coverage LB to complement the interior pass rush. I think there's good value there at this point.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Josaiah Stewart at 77 please.

Q: Who is Manxman's favorite draft pick? A: The next one

 

[Keyser Söze]

Love that we’re giving Maye some much needed help.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

@manxman2601 we got our guy.

 

[Ring 6]

I know pre draft, Smith loved Williams.

Rumor is Shanahan loved him

 

[ViperGTS]

Add Williams and now you are counting on the best of Williams Boutte, Bourne, Polk. One should be able to be decent.

I don't disagree. Let them get to camp, and let them fight it out.

 

[Rdforty2]

Looks like baker or Polk are getting cut ...Bourne would probably be cut too ...

I would want them to get the best center/ safety available with the 77th pick ...

Bourne is most likely first. Boutte is on the market.

I'd bet money Polk is safe. 2nd round investment, closest comp is Jakobi Meyers. McDaniels will want to work with him.

Baker is one that may not fit the offense. More of a vertical guy, but also didn't quite pick things up last year. Seems tough to expect him to pick up a McDaniels offense.

Diggs, Hollins, Douglas, Polk, and Williams are safe bets IMO. Boutte, Baker, and Bourne may be battling for one spot.

I'm having a fun draft so far.

 

[TommyD4207]

Sawyer makes too much sense now at 77
