2025 Draft Class Discussion & DA file

[marvelous]

Didn't use all my scouting points, but there a few sleepers out there. Scouting in this draft has been difficult. Seems like none of the bars and combines are correlating. Should be an interesting camp to see how these guys turn out. There could be a lot of boom players.

Where's a good reference for evaluating draft spots? Oh, suppose that means 1.2 might be on the block. Brady or Beuter?

Nemesis and I were just discussing this the other day. I favor Brady, thinking there's a better possibility he's masked (higher upside), with the caveat that I haven't and am not going to interview these guys, and those are 60-100 wide bars I am looking at.

It seems like you can't go wrong. I'd have to say my opinion is Beuter is a little more risky. Maybe he's super super elite, or maybe he's that guy who drops and ends up in the mid or upper 60s - still a mega-stud you can do damage with. Brady, that seems like more of a lower bound, and if he's a creeper in camp, he could have some real sky high potential.

I'm of the camp that you can't go wrong with any of the three. I'd put Liening as a pretty clear #1, but Beuter/Brady very very close behind. Between those two, gun to my head, I'd go with Brady. Much better AG score, and an inch taller. Both can't-miss picks, though.

kosar, what do you mean about evaluating draft spots? Trade value? With WRs like this at the top, throw out the NFL chart. 1.1 has been 'cheapened' a bit in that there are three high-quality picks there, but I don't think marvelous is so far out there with his demands. *I* wouldn't pay it, but I already have a WR or two. If I didn't, I'd ponder it.

Good god, they're like clones of each other. I didn't really notice that before.

You see a lot that the elite WRs class would be the Top 3 picks but the Mock Draft says another thing... What do you really expect about?? :)

Oh, the mock is sorta garbage. I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. It gets generated I think when you upload a file that also governs scout picks (when a team gets autoed...I think).

It's not much more than a curiosity.

[nelmsm]

I dunno, I think we should just take the mock draft and call it good. I think I'd be happy with that.
