Yep, don't reach for a QB if you have other positions of need. Especially if those needs are OL, because getting a young QB without protection is a recipe for failure.
2025 NFL Draft
- Thread starter SolterraCyclone
- Start date
Pretty sure Noel won't deal with the "migraines" that Percy dealt with
I’d say any team that gets Higgins, Noel, and/or Porter will be getting guys with major upside….depending on when they are drafted you can add Value to the haul.
I guess his interviews were awful…. shocking!
You missed one. Travis has immense potential, and will be a fixture.
As for the last, I’d like to know a bit more about Verdon’s health and workout status.
I’m not a fitness guru, but I work out a lot. It’s my understanding that about 1.5X your body weight is a really good max bench (meaning you can do 1 rep). Or at least I hope it is based on my performance!
So for Noel that would be about 290 lbs. He did 225 (1.15X his body weight) 23 TIMES! According to the Epley formula his max bench is about 400lbs. Over 2X his body weight. That is insane.
Would be shocking to everyone except the NFL. His interviews were hot garbage. Feeling like a Ryan Leaf situation if hes drafted top 15
Don’t get me wrong- I think Jeanty is a fantastic running back..
But he’s a 5’8 running back that probably runs a 4.5+, who beat up on the mountain west.
In the playoffs, sure he had 100 yards, but did it on 30 carries and had around 3.5 YPC.
I just do not see him working out as a top 10 pick.

With Jeanty i think the important thing to remember is how much mileage his body has already seen. The colts have seen this with Jonathan Taylor as well. Seems like hes always hurt, and a large part of that is because of the stress and mileage that BSU put on him
35 second mark says Higgins is someone who could possibly sneak into the 1st Round:
Please let that happen.
I wouldn’t touch him in the entire 1st rd if I were a GM. Way too much risk there.
I'm guessing every answer was "I'm the best there ever was, just ask my daddy".
There is a difference between confidence and narcissistic and while I don't know him on a personal level at all, what I have seen of him in interviews makes me lean towards the latter. Just like his dad.
My suspicion on Sanders is that they are really trying to control which team picks him...or at least limit it to places they don't want him to land. So sure they might give anyone an interview, but the kid isn't going to put on the charm for a team that they prefer doesn't draft him.
Jeanty is good, but the hype is a little out of control there. Honestly, Hampton is the better pro prospect in my opinion.
I was chatting with a big bears fan and we discussed who the Bears should pick in round 1. He asked what I thought and I immediately said O-Line. Nah, he says, the Bears got two guys in free agency they are set. No, I said, they are the Bears, you get O-Line no matter what because their lines have been awful. They have enough weapons on O to win, but if QB1 can't stay upright it makes no sense getting more weapons. But, the Bears will probably do Bears things.
