**OFFICIAL 2025 Draft Thread - Green Bay Opens The Door For Guests** (5 Viewers)

[efactor]

Man, the Niners *really* got tired of being run on.

I love the approach. Granted I know nothing about the last 3 players drafted, but like the picks after reading the scouting reports.

Was hoping they would grab Mbow the last pick but WTF do I know? Salah gonna have a lot of fresh faces to fix the D

 

[crushedspirit]

These are not the backs I was expecting

Smith is the best receiving RB if that's what Texans wanted

 

[IHEARTFF]

Marks was not really on my radar. Still plenty of RB talent to go

 

[skol asylum]

Thought maybe the Rams were making a move for Sanders there.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Teams where a RB in this round 4/5 range would be interesting for either 2025 depth / competition or potential to ascend in 2026?

Quick list in no particular order:

BUF - James Cook situation

I don’t see anyone on the board better than what the Niners got out of Guerendo last year. He’s a home run hitter who’s smart enough to slide at the 1 to ice the game.

They’ll probably grab a RB, but I don’t believe it’ll fit the narrative of “competition” at this stage of the draft. I could be wrong.

 

[Dez]

That Blake Corum pick not looking so great now. Just think how many people took Corum over Bucky that fantasy football rookie draft can be such a heartless b!tch sometimes.

Hunter a Corum threat agree

Yeah, this whole draft has his stamp on it. It’s a very un-Shanny like draft.

I wasn’t expecting Rams to take a RB at all this year.

There was a brief window between the draft and about week 2 last year where Williams value was super low. I really wish I’d made some offers at the time.

Looks like a game of chicken with Sanders. Who blinks?

I wanna wager on “undrafted” - what odds will I get?

Even odds.
You might very easily be right.

Kinda feel like if it was gonna happen it woulda happened.

ETA: Steelers OTC tho

At some point, he'll do a La'el Collins and tell teams not to draft him. He might already have done it.

 

[UncleZen]

Bucs keep going on their biggest needs. I like it.

 

[IHEARTFF]

And another middling TE gets wrecked

 

[JohnnyU]

Interesting some of these RBs going before Sampson.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Do the Steelers take Sanders here?

Yeah, this whole draft has his stamp on it. It’s a very un-Shanny like draft.

Which is a good thing honestly. The RBs and WRs they usually take in the round 3-4 range have totally sucked. Build that D line

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Damn, wanted Sawyer to the packers. Day late, dollar short.

For talent and ceiling, you're probably right. Still think the room could benefit from another guy at this spot, even if Guerendo is favored to win out and retain "next man up" for 2025. Maybe I'm just more nervous about CMC going forward than I should be. I would have been really bullish on a guy like Tuten if he landed here in round 4.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Sad trombone for Sanders.

 

[efactor]

Do the Steelers take Sanders here?

Nope

But Sawyer seems a good pick there

 

[miqws]

At this point in the draft, special teams ability starts to factor in a lot.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Damn, wanted Sawyer to the packers. Day late, dollar short.

Of course Jack Sawyer went to the Steelers

It's fitting forsure, but damn it

They still have pick 36. I would not at all be shocked by RB.

That said, they still have Patrick Taylor & Izzy Abanakanda on the roster.

 

[JohnnyU]

Do the Steelers take Sanders here?

Seems to be the sentiment every other pick. I wish he would get selected so this would end.

I’m with you. The best thing they can do for Purdy right out (outside of bolstering the OL) is building the defense to the point that he doesn’t have to win shootouts.

 

[Dez]

Chase Brown shareholders rn:

I did not accept an offer for Brown in a FFPC league because I was fearful Cincy would take a RB but thinking about it more I should taken that chance why would Cincy blow a pick on a RB when they have so many defensive needs.

 

[nittanylion]

Now, that's how a mature adult male handles his business, Barryn Sorrell. I'll be pulling for you, kid.

 

[rockaction]

Skattebo is absolutely gonna be the Giants starting RB.

He'll average less than 4 yards a carry in the NFL.

Yeah, I roster Tracy and it could have been better but it could have been an athlete.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Marks was not really on my radar. Still plenty of RB talent to go

Ray Garvin loved this guy like he was someone we'd be talking about at the end of round 1 dynasty drafts earlier this year. I'm not sure it was warranted, and I also think he moved off of that as the year progressed.

I’m sure your prospective trade partner is relieved as well. Only reason I can think of why they’d want to move him is they felt the same way.

Can Shedeur play special teams?

 

[travdogg]

Missed about a dozen picks. Some nice Big Ten talent going on day 3.

Love the 49ers getting West at DT. Personally, I liked him more than the guys they took on day 2.

Panthers continue having an excellent draft adding Ransom. Could totally see him pushing for a starting spot, he was a very solid player at Ohio St.

Steelers adding another solid rusher in Jack Sawyer. Their pass rusher depth is unrivaled.

As washed as Mixon looked at times last year, I don’t see this as a disruptive move for Mixon’s value.

I could be wrong, but this feels like a depth pick more than a potential usurping.

 

[travdogg]

Interesting some of these RBs going before Sampson.

Lotta bad drafting in my opinion. Lots of RBs I can't even see an argument for over Sampson, Martinez, and Giddens.

Marks was a guy I didn't see being drafted at all. I think Tuten is vastly overrated.

 

[Dez]

Wow Cleveland takes another RB how does this hurt Judkins value ?

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

R.I.P. Jerome Ford

Would have loved to avoid Sampson in the 4th if I'm weighing Henderson-Judkins, which I am.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’d guess it’s more a statement about how shallow their RB room is.

Traded Ford for a 2nd rounder last season that paid off

Yeah, that is less than ideal. But CLE does run a lot.

 

[travdogg]

Hot take: Sampson>Judkins in Cleveland. Maybe not day 1, but career wise.

 

[Dez]

Brian Robinson feels like a huge winner no RB for Washington I am kind of shocked who is their RB 2 right now ?

Austin Ekeler, who honestly might be the RB to own there.

 

[msudaisy26]

At this point anyone could take Sanders. If he shows anything in preseason you could flip him for a 3rdish.
