Any odds on the guy from Newark, US  ?

 

@GunnerBillis more in tune with the Cardinals than I am. 

[MrEpsYtown]

If I’m the Bills I am probably thinking about trading up for Barron, Harmon, or Golden at this point. 
 

I don’t think they would pick Barron, but they should.

How concerned about his injury history should we be?

Personally, I’m not that worried. 

[Big Blitz]

I think I like how the board is falling to the Bills

[Virgil]

I’ll be making the pick in the next 15-20 min. Daughter’s softball game ran over 

[Virgil]

The Denver Broncos select Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC.

 

GM - We had a lot of options at 20, including a trade down, but there was just too many options for us to pass on.  We debated WR here, Hampton was the highest rated weapon on our board and our biggest gap last year as we headed into the playoffs.  Hampton is an every down back and we all know what Payton can do with RB's.

 

The Jets @Alphadawg7 are on the clock

Guy I know who is a Bronco's fan would approve.  He told me last week they needed a RB to take some pressure of Bo Nix

[TheWeatherMan]

This might be the most realistic mock draft I’ve seen on this message board…

[Alphadawg7]

I’ll be picking shortly, just saw this

And only 2 DTs. 2CBs.  And 2 WRs have been taken.  I think the board has fallen perfectly for Buffalo.  

[Alphadawg7]

With the 21st pick in the draft (via the Steelers), the NY Jets select:  Mathew Golden, WR, Texas

 

We could not be more thrilled after trading back from 7 and picking up an extra 3rd this year along with an extra 1st & 2nd next year to see Golden land here for us.  We came into this draft in big need of weapons at WR and TE and to land the most explosive one in the draft after trading back is a dream scenario for us.  

 

CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS

 

We turned the 7th pick into:  Mathew Golden, an extra 3rd this year, plus extra 1st and 2nd round picks next year.  

 

@QLBillsFan and the Los Angeles Chargers are now on the clock.

[QLBillsFan]

With the 22nd  pick of the 2025 Virgil Mock draft 3, The Los Angeles Chargers select Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri.

 

The LAC considered Grey Zabel (IOL), Tyler Warren (TE), and Derrick Harmon (DT) here but the need and value make sense to go with the explosive and productive Burden.  A 4.41/40 and at  6' 206, he has a nice combo of speed and power. In his last two seasons at Missouri he grabbed 147 receptions for 1888 yards and 15 TD's. In the ultra competitive SEC with less than stellar QB play and route diversity. 

 

His combination of yards after catch, hands, and elite separation adds another dangerous element to Justin Herbert and the rest of the Chargers offense. Along with Q Johnston and Ladd McConkey, he gives them a solid core after the departure of Josh Palmer and others. Although Mike Williams is back, Burden at #22 is too good to pass up. With the depth at IOL and DT in this draft they can grab a potential starter at G or DT with the 55th or 86th picks. 

 

 

 

@gonzo1105 and the draft host Green Bay Packers are on the clock....

With the 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers Select: 

 

Jahdae Barron CB University of Texas

 

 

The Packers are simply stunned that Barron, the consensus # 1 CB in the draft has dropped all the way to 23. There is already a need at CB and with the possible departure of Jaire Alexander as well, Barron falls right into their laps. I expect Barron to be at worst a top 14 pick in the draft. 
 

@Big Blitz and the Minnesota Vikings are on the clock

Yeah he fits like a glove there. I do think this is a realistic scenario if more than half the teams feel he is a nickel player. But yeah, great pick and landing spot IMO. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

If Harmon is still available at the Rams or Ravens, I am offering #30 and #109 to move up for him. 

[Virgil]

I feel like I'm about to greatly dislike the Vikings

[Big Blitz]

In process….

[Orlando Buffalo]

I truly believe this mock draft is more realistic then most of the ones I have seen. Who would have thought a football addiction could be useful? 

[Big Blitz]

With the 24th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings Select: 

 

Malaki Starks, S Georgia.  
 

 

CB and OT was a consideration here.  But the chance to take the top safety in the draft - with Harrison Smith approaching 37 years old and no real depth there at all, we think the value and fit are perfect. 
 

DC Flores will have no problem integrating him into the defense.  He can play in the box and tackle.  He can cover.  His instincts are tremendous.  A starter from day 1, he is the future of our back end. 
 

Wanted to add - he’s going to do for our defense what Kyle Hamilton does for the Ravens.
 

 

The Texans and @CNYfan are on the clock.

I just wanted to say that, so far, this absolutely feels like the most "realistic" and probable of the TSW Mock drafts. Realistic, feasible, sensible picks that match team needs at just about every slot.

Well done, drafters.
