2025 NFL Draft
· 10 picks
· 6 steals
· 3 reaches
Some picks age like wine; Jasheen Davis at slot 172 will need to, sitting 145 spots clear of his grade.
They banked enough surplus on Schwesinger to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at slot 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the 150th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wild overpay on Jasheen Davis in pick No. 172, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Value said wait; Tosh Baker in No. 190 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
KJ Jefferson at pick No. 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 33, with Maxen Hook worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
