Shader seems like the next Kyler Murray to me. I think he’ll be fine in the nfl.
2025 NFL Draft
- Thread starter SolterraCyclone
- Start date
Coleman was a whiff? I thought he had a good season and some great plays.
Rooting for all of our guys to go high. Doesn't seem likely any of our guys will round 1 but who knows. I truly think all 4 of the guys who went to the combine can have long careers. Travis and Porter truly have enough talent to make the Hall of Fame someday in my opinion. I've never seen DB play as good as Darien Porter at Iowa State. Travis is probably our best offensive lineman since Osemele.

A lot of experts seem to think Houston will take a WR early. I'm not sure about that. Even if they lose Diggs, they still have Collins and Dell, and Hutchinson has a good season and would be a solid #3. WR is not one of their biggest needs and if they do draft one, they can get a decent one in round 3 or 4.
I would like to see Noel go to the Rams, 49ers or Chiefs.
Nobody is talking about Stevo. He won't get drafted, but he's one of the best fullbacks in the draft and I could honestly see him getting picked up as a free agent and making a 53 man roster. CJ Ham is old so perhaps the Vikings grab Klotz.

Will Dell even be healthy for the season? That was a pretty gruesome injury he had on Christmas day, and he has a history of being injured. I don't think Houston can rely on him as a pure #2.

That's true. We will see if they add anyone in free agency.
As long as none of our guys go to Dallas then I'm ok with it.
I think Porter has a chance to sneak into the 1st round, 2nd at worst.
If he had all the same measurables and career stats but played at a blue blood somewhere no one would bat an eye at him going mid to late 1st. There's been 3 DBs in the last 30 years with better athletic profiles and it's not like he wasn't productive too. Someone's going to see him as a moldable explosive project with limited wear and tear that they can polish up. Plus special teams ace that has shown he works hard, learns fast, and is a team first player.
I'm not saying he will, or even that he should, I just don't think we should be surprised at the possibility. This isn't the same ISU of 10 years ago. We have a strong reputation for producing reliable hard working professionals, and this year our guys have prototypical NFL size, speed, and quickness to go with it.

Todd McShay of the Russillo pod today talked about how he thinks wide receiver order will look drastically different that what projections have been over last couple months. Mentioned he would have no problem if both Higgins and Noel went late 1st round because more polished than others.
Yeah, Coleman wasn't a whiff, he just missed a month with a wrist injury. He was a solid rookie, even if he wasn't setting the league on fire.
Yeah, when you consider they could have had Worthy instead Coleman was a complete miss.
Also, Hutch hasn’t quite developed into a reliable 3. He’s played more like a 4-5 up to this point

He really improved as the season went on. Particularly when they had guys out with injury.
There also doesn't seem to be a consensus "it" guy in the WR class.
Like Harrison Jr. last year, was he good?
I guess, but sort of disappeared into the Arizona morass.

Skatt reminds me more like gerhart and will probably have the same type of career is my thought.
And Noel going in the first round to KC
