Browns should 100% take Carter. That's an easy decision.

Drafting a 3rd round worthy QB or a Ohtani type WR/CB dork that is going to be on IR his first year is beyond fail.

Kid missed hardly any games in college despite likely playing far more plays than he will in the pros, but you already have him on the IR?

I could see the draft room discussion.....

Andrew Berry - "it's Hunter...turn in the card"

someone in room - "wait....hold on a sec.....some random who has done little to no research on him, never met him and never saw any medical records says he'll be on IR year 1."

Berry - "well crap....next on the board?"

Neither team should take a qb

in the 1st

 

[shopson67]

Derek Carr might be missing the entire season now. Makes QB seem even more likely for the Saints now.

Does this ultimately get revealed as trade leverage more than an actual injury?

 

[shopson67]

I definitely would not draft Sanders 2nd. If I'm the Browns, I would take Howard at the top of the 2nd. I'm certainly no scout, because my opinion is that Howard is better than any of the QBs in this draft. I'm not a fan of OSU, but I watched their last 6 games,.came in thinking Howard wasn't worth a shit and was carried by the talent around him. He did have some easy throws because of that talent, but that kid also made some damn clutch throws, and was tough as Hell. I've watched Ward and Sanders a few times as well, and I see it a lot more for Ward, but he is no sure bet either IMO

I think Howard might still be available in the 4th.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah i think teams that need QB's that pass early will need to trade up into at least the top half of the 1st to get Dart. I dont thijk he will be there for them in round 2

If that's the case, settle for someone else or look to next year. I wouldn't spend that much draft capital on a Kiffin QB.

Guess is 3rd or 4th. My concern with him would have been arm strength but listening to Brian Hoyer thoughts on him and while he said this matters he also said arm strength overrated......wasn't saying means nothing but accuracy and smarts a lot more important. Being able to run helps too. Can Howard run at NFL level?

Here’s probably my final mock draft for 2025

1 - Titans - Cam Ward, QB Miami
2 - Browns - Abdul Carter, Edge Penn St
3 - Giants - Travis Hunter, DB/WR Colorado
4 - Pats - Will Campbell, O-Line LSU
5 - Jags - Mason Graham, D-Line Michigan
6 - Raiders - Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise St
7 - Jets - Tyler Warren, TE Penn St
8 - Panthers - Jalon Walker, LB/Edge Georgia
9 - Saints - Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado
10 - Bears - Armand Membou, O-Line Missouri
11 - Niners - Kelvin Banks, O-Line Texas
12 - Cowboys - Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona
13 - Dolphins - Will Johnson, DB Michigan
14 - Colts - Colston Loveland, TE Michigan
15 - Falcons - Mike Green, Edge Marshall
16 - Cards - Jahdae Barron, DB Texas
17 - Bengals - Walter Nolan, D-Line Ole Miss
18 - Seahawks - Tyler Booker, O-Line Alabama
19 - Bucs - Jihaad Campbell, LB Alabama
20 - Broncos - Omarion Hampton, RB North Carolina
21 - Steelers - Derrick Harmon, D-Line Oregon
22 - Chargers - Shemar Stewart, Edge Texas A&M
23 - Packers - Shavon Revel, DB East Carolina
24 - Vikings - Malaki Starks, DB Georgia
25 - Texans - Josh Simmons, O-Line Ohio St
26 - Rams - Maxwell Hairston, DB Kentucky
27 - Ravens - Mykel Williams, Edge Georgia
28 - Lions - James Pearce, Edge Tennessee
29 - Commanders - Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge Boston College
30 - Bills - Nick Emmanwori, DB South Carolina
31 - Chiefs - Kenneth Grant, D-Line Michigan
32 - Eagles - Josh Conerly, O-Line Oregon



Just speculation obviously but that’s probably my final mock draft

I don't know that the Rams will go CB in the first, but not outrageous by any stretch. Off/zone corners can be had later. If this was the draft up through 25, I think the Rams would strongly consider WR (either Burden or Golden, both of which you still have on the board). Or, they could trade back a bit and take a chance on Milroe.

I'd say if they really like Milroe enough to take him a few spots later don't mess around and just take him.

Thowing Ohtani under the bus is a bizarre choice, catching strays lol.

They have a big gap until #90 for their next pick, I'm sure if they aren't in love with a pick at 26 they'd prefer to move back and move one of those 3rd round picks up.

That makes sense......but I would not mess around and miss out on a QB they might want. Hell, they might run the risk of the Browns moving up ahead of them to get him.

I don't

That stupid little bit you did of 'someone in the room'... was that me?

Pffft shopson you know what I meant..

 

[dtgold88]

well you aren't the someone in the room but, yes, he's talking about you.

All seriousness why are you thinking a guy who rarely missed games in college will in the pros? Very unlikely he plays close to the amount of snaps he did in college.

Well it was just a hunch.. and.. you guys sometimes! And...

 

[jarntt]

I'd give up a day 3 pick for him assuming that means let's say a 6th and not a 4th

Of course he wasn't happy, lol. Rodgers is a fuckin' moron.

"Hey we'd like you to visit our team and meet with our scouts, coaches, and owners!"
"Great, where do I submit my airfare/hotel/car charges?"
"Oh we can't give you that right now. Please expense it to your personal account."
"Great thanks!"

Like WTF? What level of retard do you have to be to 1) not realize that's a huge troll attempt, 2) not realize you're being trolled, 3) not realize you're a retard?

Aaron Rodgers is 100% done after this. If I was an owner and my GM mentioned "Let's bring in Aaron Rodgers" at this point, I'd throw that GM to the sharks (literally - I'd buy them, I'm not eating sub standard humans).
