2025 NFL Draft Thread : Rounds 2-3

[C.Biscuit97]

Texans absolutely loaded up for CJ. Love both the ISU WRs and they compliment Nico very well.

Jaylin Noel apparently

Get a speed WR, preferably one with size, and I'm happy with this draft.

Better get prepared cause here comes more defense later in the draft haha. Still gotta get the obligatory LB pick in and another DT for sure.

1T Caldwell in the 5th. The rest is offense and punter.

Two of our 5ths could get us to the top of the 4th. I'd be looking to do something like that for Royals, Felton, or Horton, whoever happens to still be on the board. I'll be disappointed if our vertical WR addition ends up being like Arian Smith in the 7th. I want a legit prospect.

 

Yeah those three receivers are the three I have my eye on too.

3rd round is always the first round of the eye of the beholder where your like huh lol.

He'll be there in the 5th. Go get Thornton @ 132.

I would be good with that, the burner WR.

Thornton @ 132?     

[LEBills]

Houston stacking their receiver room. Wish Josh had a WR room like that.

Had we just taken Collins instead of sanders, this draft would have been perfect so far 

Not an unreasonable thought.. do they go Caldwell at 132 ?

I think they have to WR, maybe Caldwell top of the 5th

Which is why we are sticking to the same strategy -- that the Eagles used to force those punts.  Pressure with front 4- take away quick passing game.

 

This is the right move, it's a player e v a l issue if this doesn't work.  Which is my concern, Beane and staff haven't crushed DL historically but now just poured 5 new players into the equation ( so far): Bosa, Oji, Hoecht, Sanders, Jackson.

 

I thought they'd remake the secondary with more speed in FA.  Hit Max in draft, S is the weakness- guess they're counting on Bishop/DL to cause enough havoc to hide them.

 

I do understand the strategy. If you just look at the stats especially in the playoffs it seems obvious on the face of it we need defense more than offense. I still feel like over investing in the offense would have been an equally viable strategy, but they went in the more expected direction. I just hope all of the investments create a different result. We apparently don't want to give Allen that alpha that can make a clutch play for him at the end, so the defense needs to be good enough that we don't need that clutch play at the end.

I’d add in S, P and LB depth and I don’t think anyone could complain. Just have to hope the picks work out.

The depth on defense always seems to bury us…two years ago we lost all linebackers pretty much and last year we lost the one corner we just couldn’t lose

Love when teams invest in WRs for their franchise QB

To be fair to them, there was not a ton of those guys in this draft. Most of the receivers in this class are #2s and #3s... complimentary players. I still want an outside guy with some speed from what is left but I don't expect any of those guys to become a true #1 alpha type.

Steelers pick. . . . . . . . . . . . last chance for Little Sanders tonight ??
