2025 Draft Class & UDFA's

[kbso83432]

I've seen him. I'd give him a puncher's chance if Gallup is washed.

Scary Terry
Deebo
Noah Brown
Gallup
KJ Osborn
Luuuuuke
Draft Pick

Thats a lot of people.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Terry
Deebo
Brown
Lane

Those guys are locks IMO. These guys battle for the last 2 spots.

Gallup
Osborn
McCaffery
Player X from free agency who emerges.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

I guess we will see if they are comparable talent or not. I hope you’re right, but I have my concerns.

My point had more to do with the DL they had signed and the replacement of Fowler who was terrible against the run. Chinn was pretty good but not a huge loss and Harris is comparable IMO.

I think McCaffery is a lock. Not so much Brown.

 

[kbso83432]

Locks

McLaurin
Samuel
McCaffery
Brown
Lane

Last Spot
Gallup.....who I think could end up being the #2 when it's all said and done.

Osborn......long shot imo

Brooks, maybe Crowder on a camp invite.

 

[skinsdad62]

Brooks is a decent signing

I think Luke is a lock, I dont think they will give up on him that quickly.

Who is brooks?

Who is brooks?

An almost certainty to make the practice squad just as long as he can execute consistently. Why you ask?... intangibles, although he doesn't have elite speed (4.68/40) he's 6'3" 195 with a 76.75" wingspan and among the tallest pass catchers on the team.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I need Sinnott to eventually take the torch from Ertz sometime this season. I love love love Ertz but how much longer can he school these opposing linebacker?

 

[Caliskinsfan]

I LOVE the tribute/respect to the Hogs by Josh here - but think for fans - it's beyond time for a new generation of OLinemen to carve out their own legacy and name - not try and popularize Hogs 2.0 which I've seen tossed about

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

I think McCaffery is a lock. Not so much Brown.

Probably right. Brown is pretty reliable and gives them the big WR they need, Luke could be that guy but man we can't forget how he was not even in the game for much of the 2nd half of the season. When I see a player in the regular rotation and then disappear that's a red flag to me.

KJ Osborn was good in Minnesota and only 27. I would not count him out.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

This 'challenge' going about a small sector of the Skins' fanbase is hilarious

That group could run block. I'm not so sure this group is capable of that.

 

[kbso83432]

Excited about JCM. Have to find out if he can pass block. If not, he'll be just another 3rd down back.

Here's what The Athletic's Dane Brugler had to say about each play in this year's version of **“The Beast,”** an annual draft preview that provides in-depth analysis of hundreds of prospects each year.

**No. 29: T Josh Conerly Jr.**
A two-year starter at Oregon, Conerly manned the left tackle position in offensive coordinator Will Stein's multiple run scheme with a lot of unbalanced looks. After transitioning to the offensive line as a high school sophomore, he made steady improvements each season, and he played his best ball over the second half of his final year in Eugene. A quick, fluid mover, Conerly has the range to reach his landmarks laterally in pass protection and on the move, at the second level and in the run game.

Because of the underdeveloped parts of his game, he will put himself in some compromised positions, especially against power rushers, but his recovery balance is exceptional. Overall, Conerly must continue refining his hands and core strength, but he is on the right trajectory and enters the NFL with a promising foundation based on athletic movements and body control. Currently a "bend, don't break" blocker, he has the talent to become a solid starter early in his NFL career.

**No. 61: CB Trey Amos**
A one-year starter at Ole Miss, Amos was an outside cornerback in defensive coordinator Pete Golding's diverse coverage scheme (press man, off man, zone, etc.). After three years at Louisiana, he transferred to Alabama and played behind Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold. After Nick Saban retired, Amos made the move to Ole Miss, where he had his breakout season with an SEC-best 16 passes defended.

A good-looking athlete, Amos is a professional pesterer with the way he reads receivers, crowds break points/catch points and never stops ball searching with his length. Whether in man or zone, he has a feel for phasing up receivers from different alignments. His timed speed is better than his play speed, however, and there is some stiffness in his change of direction. Overall, Amos has an appetite for press, but I liked him best in zone (Cover 2, Cover 3, quarters), where he can trust his athletic instincts from depth to read and rally. His super-senior season convinced evaluators that he is a pro starter, similar in ways to Paulson Adebo.

**No. 128: WR Jaylin Lane**
A two-year starter at Virginia Tech, Lane was primarily the slot receiver in former offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen's balanced scheme (also saw Z and backfield snaps). After three seasons at Middle Tennessee, he posted moderate receiving production in his two seasons in Blacksburg and scored six touchdowns in 2024 (in four different ways: two receiving, two rushing, one passing, one punt return). Lane was a productive punt returner in college and shined on offense with screens, jets, etc., when he could throttle his speed, follow blocks and motor through fly-by tackles.

He is capable of stretching the field vertically (dynamic on slot posts), although he needs work in the intermediate part of the field to better set up defenders, win body position and finish crowded catch points. Overall, Lane is missing the well-rounded effectiveness that teams want in a starter, but his balance and acceleration — especially with the ball in his hands — will give him a chance to impress an NFL coaching staff in camp. His value as a punt returner should boost his chances of securing a roster spot and getting on the field.

**No. 205: LB Kain Medrano**
A two-year starter at UCLA, Medrano was the Will linebacker in defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe's 3-3-5 base scheme. He struggled to find consistent defensive snaps over his first four years with the Bruins, but he made strides as a first-year starter in 2023 and became an impact player in 2024, finishing second on the team in tackles and creating five turnovers (three forced fumbles, two interceptions).

Medrano is a fun player to study, because of his short-area burst and range to impact the game in several ways. Slightly undersized, he is inconsistent playing through contact. The most concerning aspect of his college tape, however, is his alarming number of missed tackles, regardless of the 2024 tape studied. Overall, Medrano must better balance being aggressive and improving his discipline, but his speed and hyper-activity level will serve him well on an NFL field. His experience and traits will earn him an immediate role on special teams.

**No. 245: RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt**
Croskey-Merritt had a short stint in the Arizona's spread scheme (Dino Babers and Matt Adkins shared play-calling duties in 2024). After suiting up in just one game amid eligibility issues in 2024, he reminded scouts of his talent during East-West Shrine Bowl week, taking home Offensive Player of the Game honors.

A slippery runner with explosive feet, Croskey-Merritt is capable of full-stride cuts without gearing down to toy with defenders. He runs with a "cut to daylight" mentality, which keeps his runs alive but also leads to wasted steps and extra hits. Overall, there is an unpredictability to his run style that keeps both defenders and his own coaches on the edge of their seat, but you'll live with the volatility because of his electric plant and burst to naturally string moves together and create chunk plays. He projects as an offense's change-of-pace weapon.

One insanely bold rookie prediction for every Commanders 2025 draft pick

Time to go bold...

riggosrag.com

i dont know about a lot of these predictions however mytake on the draft is this .

we got a 10 yr starter at RT , we got a CB who could be a 10 yr starter , we got a burner at slot wr and /PR and we took measured fliers on the LB and RB

with 5 picks i think its a solid draft with 2 starters and at least 1 contributor with 2 solid depth pieces . our UDFRA class looks pretty good as well

Overlooked prospect given dream Commanders' chance against all odds

The Commanders want to see more of Collin Schlee.
