2025 NFL mock draft 8.0: Post-March Madness edition has Cam Ward to Titans, Travis Hunter to Browns and Shedeur Sanders to ... where?

Nate Tice and Charles McDonald's eighth (!) and penultimate mock draft of this cycle is here, with the Raiders, Jets and Cowboys adding offensive firepower, while the back half of the top 10 is chock full of risers.

I'm guessing a lot of dick ripping?

1) Is Amegadjie injured right now? isn't he in an off-season conditioning program right now? Wasn't last season supposed to be a redshirt year so he could get healthy and compete for a starting job in 2025?

2) Aren't most rookie third round prospects considered a project to be developed? How many third-round trench players actually hit the ground running and offer serious competition to veteran starting in front of them?

Christian Mahogany did pretty well. and he was a 6th round pick

And how does that have anything to do with what you replied to?

• Aren't most rookie third round prospects considered a project to be developed? - Mahogany is not a rookie anymore, so he doesn't apply to this statement. As a rookie, he was the very definition of a project to be developed.
• How many third-round trench players actually hit the ground running and offer serious competition to veteran starting in front of them? - Mahogany didn't hit the ground running or challenge the starter as a rookie.

Wild that this needs to be explained to you.

You have to admire the tremendous effort which is put into the Beast.
The new interactive feature is nice.
A few surprises at the top, Stewart at 9, Green at 10 but the blue chippers remain the same.

What would you guys think of this draft?

1st rd Graham
2nd rd Conerly
2nd rd Watts
3rd rd Kaleb Johnson

A+++ but it's totally unrealistic. If Graham is available at 10 you run to the podium, and it looks like Conerly is a lock for the first round, just a matter of where at this point.

Surprised it’s free right now. I imagine that’s corrected in the next couple of hours.

Brugler doesn't even have banks ranked as a T but put Donovan Jackson as a T lol

Many say that Banks will be best at guard so no surprise there.
Dane is the only one I see that is projecting Jackson as a possible OT.

"Long considered an interior prospect by NFL teams, his left tackle tape was better than what he showed at left guard, forcing NFL teams to reevaluate his best positional fit."

 

[Xplosive]

17 Edge rushers and 5 DTs in the top 100 is interesting. I thought the tackles were more impressive than the edge rushers in this draft.

 

[--CyBear--]

Correct. It’s fixable, but yes, 100% his biggest, and really only issue

Jump balls?

Carter is a guy a lot have listed as the best player in the draft though. Conerly was giving the inside on some reps, twice in this clip. But, that said, I'd not be disappointed with any of the other reps at all. Even those inside reps, it looks like he was wisely allowing Carter to take a direction and just be sure he's shielding the QB. He could probably do better, sure, but they weren't terrible reps.

The point really is that Conerly is being ranked as OT5 or so. I see him fairly regularly mocked in the 2nd whereas I see Campbell, Membou, Banks, and Simmons usually drafted in the 1st. And to be clear, I'm not saying Conerly is some superstar, I'm just saying I'm surprised how he's been ranked so low consistently when he has been a highly rated prospect since HS and has performed fairly well in college also. His measurables also check all the boxes (over 34" arms on his pro day, great 10 yard and vertical). He's also at a premium position and we know teams will reach for a LT.

Also, for the record, PFF gave no pressures to Conerly in that game.

Connerly has fell out of favor after being demolished in senior bowl practice but before that he was solidly a first rounder. I don't like his game tape. He just seems very average and kind of soft. I think he is a safe pick and has the measurables but doesn't move the needle.

Kiran Amegadjie's Week 8 film proves why Chicago Bears have faith in him

Will the Chicago Bears draft an offensive tackle with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? It’s a question that has been recycled plenty since the Be

Part of why I don't think they go OT early. They could take a guy in 2 that can play anywhere on the line but I suspect that they hope the drafts falls differently.

1st rd Graham

B+
Graham is boom or bust and the rest are "good"

 

[Xplosive]

I also would love to trade down but don't think it's very realistic. I'm hoping for something like this in the first two rounds.

10. Ashton Jeanty
39. Jonah Savaiinaea or Donovan Jackson
41. Princley Umanmielen or JT Tuimoloau

Jeanty is a starter, Savii has good potential but not likely as LT this season. Not a fan of either at #41, perhaps if they trade back
