2025 NFL Draft thread - Round 1

Surprised they did not go CB

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Egbuka makes a ton of sense there IMO

Egbuka at 19. Another reach. Things are going well. Here's hoping teams panic and jump at Sanders and/or Dart above us too. Someone's going to fall.

So apparently Jordan Shultz said there is a lot of activity right now with the teams at the bottom of the draft 

There figure to be multiple teams in the top of the second round that want to get in the back end of round one to pick up a QB.

[Ralonzo]

Bucs go with Emeka Smith-Egbuka

[GunnerBill]

Ah one spot out on Egbuka. Good pick for the Buccs. 

[gonzo1105]

Man I love Egbuka but there is only one football for all of these WRs

[Virgil]

Strange pick for TB.  I don’t see the need at all

Honestly kinda hoping it's the Michigan kid Will Johnson. Think he'll be a good pro but the limited athleticism bugs me, there's a Kirby Jackson vibe

Emeka Egbuka  my guy

Corner run is coming in next 20 picks.

 

The next one picked might kick it off

That is a bizarre pick for Tampa IMO. They needed LB help and Campbell was a good fit I thought. 

Campbell has some injury concerns is what was being reported

[TheWeatherMan]

Trade up for Johnson!!

interesting. I do have a feeling some team might be desperate to trade back into the first round for one of these scrub QBs.

Hmmm who predicted that yesterday???

Take this FWIW & dont shoot the messenger...I was reluctant to share given how unpredictable this draft could be, but had multiple people I trust tell me a guy to watch for the Bills is Malaki Starks in the past 24 hours, depending on how the board fell.  

 

Rather see if Emmanwori gets close to us.  He's a different type of safety that McD could move around. 

 

More instinctive and I don't like Starks lack of athletic ability, compared to Emman.

 

We will see, it's going to depend who is there at DE.  I'm convinced CB is happening Rd2 or later.

Hamlin is NOT the leading candidate to start at either S position. I'd argue that Bishop is in line ahead of him, and maybe even Forrest. 

 

Agreed .......... even with that Bishop didn't show he's a good coverage guy and if you have Rapp and Hamlin doing anything other than zone you are in trouble.  Starks would fix that.  We have a bunch of CB's also.  We signed Dane and Tre ............ would still love to draft a CB.

[HappyDays]

With Egbuka we're getting into a group of players where if this specific team didn't take them they might have gone 20 picks later. Such a weird class.

[gonzo1105]

Campbell has a Labrum issue I’m not surprised the Bucs passed

Small one. He was 24th on my big board.
