2025 NFL Draft hot takes

[thall_]

Let's hear them.

hot take: Jaxson Dart will be the best QB of this class. I don't have facts to back this up, just a feeling.

lukewarm take: Abdul Carter will be the best player from this draft when we look back in 3 years.

freezing cold take: Ty Robinson will be a steal for whoever picks him up, and will have a career similar to that of Derek Wolfe.

Shedeur will be a bust.. and a douchebag

Cam Ward will be a great QB. He's really done exceptional everywhere he went.

The Bills will whiff on the first round pick. It's what they do minus Josh Allen.

 

[V-Doub]

Shedeur will be a bust.. and a douchebag

Well, he’s already a douchebag so I can’t really give ya credit for that…

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Dallas will draft a QB with their first pick

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Now that free agency started I am guessing Ward will go to the Titans unless they can get a proven starter in a trade for the top pick.

What QB?

What QB?

Pretty sure your sarcasm gauge is broken. At least I think he was joking 😬

Hot take- Shadier Sanders will fall to the bottom third of the draft before Cleveland trades up to draft him. Shadier will be reunited with Browns 1st round choice, WR Travis Hunter. They will be able to resume their routine of yelling at each other on the field. A great fit for the Browns.

Hot take- Colorado, Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State will have two players drafted before the first Nebraska pick comes off the board. North Dakota State, Iowa and Minnesota will have one.

OP said "hot takes" not "dumb takes" 😂

Scalding Hot Take:
The Raiders will screw up the #6 pick.

In this same vein, Bears taking Jeanty at 10 would be hilariously on brand

Which is a dumb take? You must not know much about the NFL draft.

 

[baseball31ne]

The Steelers will end up taking a “solid but unspectacular” pick in the first round. Someone will call the player picked a grinder.

If you think Shedeur is falling to the bottom third of the draft, that’s 172nd or lower, that’s 5th round or lower, then you must not know much about football at all. Let alone the draft.

I assume he was talking about the 1st round.

Obviously I meant the bottom third of the 1st round is what I meant to say. So sorry I caused confusion.

Steelers fan here. Not sure that you are that far off! They are trying to build up both sides of the line.

Ah gotcha. With all the anti all things Sanders posters on here, I thought you meant what you typed, which was bottom third of the draft. After clarification, yeah your predictions might be right.

 

[SLOHusker]

I think this is a weak draft overall and I wouldn't be surprised to see the teams with the highest picks trade down. Ward is the best QB in this draft but in many drafts he would be the third QB taken. The Browns would be better off helping Deshaun Watson restore himself and trading down to deepen their draft inventory than take Sanders, who will be a headache with his dad's meddling.

Where would Sanders have been drafted if he was in last year's class? Probably 4th-6th. He isn't very mobile, has a meddling, opinionated dad, and ticks off his teammates by throwing them under the bus. That pass that Tommi Hill picked off was a stupid throw for a guy in his 5th year and ended the game in the first quarter.

Nobody is going to trade up for any of this years QB's, I wouldn't think. I struggle to think of a QB class this lowly regarded in recent memory.
