2025 NFL Draft

[SolterraCyclone]

Didn’t find a thread on this yet, so figured I’d create one. Saw Kiper released his top prospects board.

He has Noel as the 10th-rated receiver and Porter as the 8th-rated CB. That would probably mean he expects 2nd or 3rd round for them.

I’m a little surprised he has Noel over Higgins. He doesn’t have any other Cyclones ranked in the top 10 at their position.

Porter missed a lot of tackles earlier in the season. Maybe he improved on that? Can’t wait to see Noel at the next level!

 

[NoCreativity]

Surprised to see Scattebo as the 6th best rb prospect. I figured he'd be the 2nd best prospect behind Jeanty.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Hunter is just a wild prospect.

Top-flight WR and CB in one pick?

 

[TitanClone]

Noel has so much potential on the right team as a second or third option and return specialist. Higgins will get drafted too but I think Noel has more upside.

he was a stud in college, but his top speed will hurt him in the NFL. at the very least for draft status

I could see him picked up as a hybrid HB/FB; a team like the 49ers, ravens, etc.

He’s the next Mike alstott

Big Derrick Henry and little Derrick Henry? RIP to those LBers

for sure. I think he'll stick somewhere at some position, but I doubt he's ever a feature back in the NFL, simply because of his speed.

Lots of miles on those tires

 

[EvilBetty]

He’s the next Mike alstott

alstott was 6'1" 250 4.68 40 yd dash
Skat is 5'11" 215 probably runs about the same time

I hope cam proves me wrong and becomes an nfl stud like alstott. alstott was one of my favorite all time players. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[syclonefan]

I’d take Higgins over Ebuka, Burden is injury prone, McMillian pads stats against bad teams, Hunter is a CB. Higgins is clearly WR1 in the draft.

 

[Peter]

Hunter is just a wild prospect.

He’s like Shohei. Do you let him pitch too?

 

[cloneclone]

Noel has so much potential on the right team as a second or third option and return specialist. Higgins will get drafted too but I think Noel has more upside.

I keep having in my head Higgins going to the Chargers and becoming a star with Herbert.

He really isn’t much like Alstott at all. I really don’t see why people make that comparison. Well, it’s inevitable because he’s a white RB I guess.

Scattebo’s comp is Mark Ingram followed by David Montgomery.

 

[TitanClone]

Noel to the Chiefs has been in my head. That would be a fun, friendly rivalry

 

[danvillecyclone]

Skattebo had 45 receptions and over 600 yards. This are some seriously gaudy numbers out of the backfield.

For comparison:

Kaleb Johnson 22-188
Ashton Jeanty 23-138
Kaytron Allen 17-147
RJ Harvey 20-267
Omarion Hampton 38-373


Understand a lot of things play into this such as overall offensive philosophy and QB play.

Breece Hall had stats close to Omarion Hampton and Breece is a reception hog in the NFL.

But Skattebo’s receiving chops are proven and that is very valuable.

 

[Sigmapolis]

for sure. I think he'll stick somewhere at some position, but I doubt he's ever a feature back in the NFL, simply because of his speed.

David Montgomery routinely gets run down from behind by defensive ends.

Doesn't stop him from being an all-pro level RB.

Calling it now, after Porter runs his 40 at the combine, he will get legit buzz as a first/high second round guy
