2025 NFL draft order is set

Weak QB class, both will be lucky to be bottom tier starters in the league 4 years from now
I’d love Ty. Lions have a 1, 2 and multiple 4th. Have a feeling Robinson is going to go in the 3rd. But I’d love him in the 4th.
Yes. Very impressive.
But I doubt he goes in the second round. He’s a 6th year senior with a lot of tread on the tires. For his sake, I’d love it if he went in the second. I’ve seen him listed as a 2nd-5th rounder.
The Lions don’t have a 3rd round pick. I hope they grab him if he’s available in the 4th.
Do you think Ward will be a Top 15 NFL quarterback? I do not. I think it will be just another bad pick by Tennessee if they draft him.
I watched him play most of his games when he was with the Cougs.
At best I see another Tyrod Taylor, although he throws it a lot more and better
No. I think this is a very weak QB draft class. That's why Deion had his boy come out a year after a very strong QB class. Picking a QB in this class will be like picking the least fat and ugly girl at closing time at the bar.
Ty Robinson is exactly a Dan Campbell type of player. The Lions pick is at toward the end of the second round and Ty will not last until late in the 4th. So the Lions will have to take Ty in the 2nd or trade some draft capital in order to move up to get him.
I don't know what the Lions other needs are-- interior OL? Edge rusher? Corner? X- receiver? I won't look it up but I watch a lot of Lions football so that's my hunch. I bet the Lions stand pat and take the best player available. There should be some edge rushers- damn good ones- available at 60.
Heard more than one expert say that Ward and Sanders would rank behind Williams, Daniels, Drake Maye, Penix and Bo Nix from last year's draft. One had Ward rated with JJ McCarthey, the other had Ward and Sanders rated behind all six from last year. So hell yes, both of those guys were smart to stay in. Who knows how far they would have fell in the 2024 draft? The next QB taken after Nix was in the 5th round.
If I remember correctly Ward declared for the draft, then pulled his name out and took the NIL deal with Miami. Great call there! Now he's the odds on 1st pick in the draft.
They need IOL, DL, CB.
Probably won’t be able to resign Carlton Davis, so another CB is big. DL depth was decimated last year and they need another DE and DT. And a IOL would be nice.
That’s nice only when that rookie contract QB can play well enough and early enough that you can load up with other pieces and make a run. I don’t see either of these guys having that type of impact. But Brock Purdy did, so it’s not an exact science.
I like the Lions' approach. Let's win on both sides of the line of scrimmage. My Steelers are supposedly in the process of trying to do just that. The Lions are in a great position to snatch up a lineman with their first pick. If one of the top 4- two Michigan men, Nolan from Ole Miss or Harmon from Oregon doesn't fall to them, they could pivot to offensive line and were the big kid from North Dakota State should still be there. Or maybe they like the Alabama guard. And if all of those guys are already picked, then it's almost certain that a first round caliber corner or a dynamic edge rusher will be there. It sets up perfectly for them.
Defensive tackle and edge rusher are super deep in this year's draft.
Campbell and Holmes have done a wonderful job of focusing on the trenches. The amount of flack they got for picking Sewell instead of Justin Fields is funny looking back. Pairing that with a high first round hit rate (arguably 100% so far) and finding gems in later rounds (St. Brown, McNeil, Kerby Joseph), theyve built a great foundation.
Now being able to pay all of them is going to be a challenge in the near future. Probably can’t have everyone, one or more of Jamo Williams, LaPorta, Campbell, and Gibbs will have to move on. Probably Williams? Maybe LaPorta? Hard to have it all.

I had no idea this many huskers were still in the NFL
There's a slight chance that Shadier Sanders could fall all the way to 21 to my QB needy Steelers. But the question is should they draft him? I'm sure the Steelers would be praised getting a great "value" there, but ultimately is he going to be any good?
I wanted my Steelers to draft St. Brown. Getting him in the 4th round was fantastic for the Lions. St. Brown was compared pre-draft to Hines Ward-- good route runner, tough, good blocker. So I loved hearing that. Of course, St. Brown has been a better player than Ward since practically day one.
That's the tough part of NFL football. There are always franchises out there with GMs on the hot seat willing to over pay for your free agents. At least the Lions could get comp picks.
