2025 NFL Draft - Football Thread

It would cost our 1st and 2nd to move all the way to 13. Not worth it in my opinion. This team still needs a WR, DE, and DT and needs serious depth at CB and LB. A move like that severely limits the ability to fill the needs on this team. You arent going to close the massive talent gap between us and the Eagles by just getting one really good player.

Man, there is a ton of guys in this class who I read up on and it's like the perfect prospect. Then I get to the end and read this person suffered a torn ACL in September. There must be 10 fringe 1st-round guys who have big time medical flags.

Peter Buttkowski talked about it on his podcast today but I think I’m also coming to draw the conclusion that Landon Jackson might be the pick for us. I think without a doubt our 1st pick is going to be something on the front 4. I think Graham, Grant, and Harmon are all gone with the recent success of the Eagles and Chiefs with stud DTs (that should both be on this team btw).

Landon Jackson is the type of edge Gutenbumst loves and he’s just the type of player that low enough on consensus that he would reach for at 23.

pre draft hype is the same as LVN and Gary, will cause havoc, is a disruptive, but lack of actual productive results is the same, Guty needs to go after guys that actually produce, so far his types have not, these big lanky, heavy DE's with tight hips have one thing in common, they dominated weaker OT and college OLines, they get to this level and big tackles stand them up at the LOS and minus there needed ability to counter with a rip or hand over they get no where, I'd rather not a repeat of LVN or Gary, plus we need a DT more. jmo

I'd take Kyle Kenard in the 3rd round, more value

Guys, relax. There will be plenty of solid options at every need position for us not to have to reach. Only 22 picks can be made ahead of us.

Yeah, other teams may also be interested in the guys we like, but they also have other needs and are likely falling in love with guys who don't make sense for us: QBs, RBs, TEs, etc. It all evens out.

Whether we actually take the most sensible player is another thing; we tend to outsmart ourselves in R1. But I assure you, quality guys who fill needs for us will be there.

when you say relax, it doesn't sound as convincing as when Rodgers did it

it would be abnormal, and completely out of character for Huddlers to relax, especially leading up to historical events such as draft in Title Town, the home of the famous and 2nd oldest team in the sport Green Bay Packers, excited is what we all need to be.

but agree our first round picks have just not lived up to the production we get from round 2 and 3, hopefully Guty does better this year

Speaking of EDGE guys that are "our type" like Shemar Stewart and Landon Jackson, another one I have not seen folks here talking about for us is Mykel Williams.

I decided to F around and make him our pick in a PFF mock draft sim today. I don't really like the pick for us, but I wanted to see what that kind of draft might look like for us. I got WR Higgins in R2. Lately I have consistently been disliking the options available in R3. Royals is often available there, but wasn't this time (which is just as well, because I already filled WR for us), and lots of OL that I think are pretty good prospects (we do need one, so I ultimately went this direction), but that seems to be wear stuff really dries up, it's very lacking in terms of DTs, WRs, and CBs.

We discussed trading up from 23 and largely agreed it doesn't make much sense. Trading up from our 3rd into late 2 or early 3 might be worth it, though, to get in on another solid piece that can help us before what could be a significant drop-off in talent.

Or maybe we can move back from 1 and get an extra 2 if we can swing that.

been my # 1 edge prospect for a long time, only minus was injury according to Andy Herman, which caused decline last year, but look at vid of 2023 and he's a top 10 selection according to him , and why I expect him to go top 20, if not top 15, more production then Stewart, also like Mike Green, but he's a little smaller than Guty seems to like, but Green has massive production, and a bunch of tech ability, more like a Mathews imo.

Don't fully understand what it is, but looks really cool.

how about Bech? I think Higgins will go off early 2nd, Bech seems like a steady eddie and may still be available, consistent, good size, blocker, physical.


At 6-2 and 214 pounds, Bech is a big-bodied target with strong hands. On 91 targets this season, Bech had just one drop and finished his collegiate career with just four career drops. The LSU transfer is tough as nails and has no issues making catches in a crowd. He has impressive body control, with the ability to make catches through contact. Bech does a nice job of adjusting to throws that are away from his frame. He does a good job of using his body to box out defenders. According to Pro Football Focus, 45 of his receptions led to a first down.
