For a week starting tonight, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will walk across the stage outside Lambeau Field and declare that the 2025 NFL Draft is officially open. Tennessee Titan On the watch.
Miami quarterback Come Ward is an overwhelming favorite to become the first player to be filmed. Whose guess what will happen after that?
Let’s dive into the latest rumors.
Tyler Shaff’s first round pick?
We previously discussed the phenomenon of the first round quarterback riser. When a draft approaches one, and sometimes multiple quarterbacks, it is discussed as a potential first-round option.
why? The appeal of the fifth year choice is probably the biggest reason, coupled with the overall importance of the position.
The latest quarterback to generate first round buzz? Louisville passer Tyler Schaff. in Works from the official league website Insider Tom Pelissero has identified five potential first-round “surprises” starting with Shoug.
“Shough has been pushing himself into the conversation next to Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe. Many scouts and coaches rank him above at least one of the players with the dead body,” writes Pelissero.
Starting with the history of his injuries, there are some concerns. Shough suffered a broken collarbone in 2021, a shoulder injury in 2022 and a broken leg in 2023. He is an old outlook, turning 26 early in his rookie season and spent seven seasons in college.
Still, as Pelissero points out, it only takes one team. I have something I like about his game. “Shough is older (25), and both the amount of injuries on his playstyle and the impact it affects some teams. But coaches like his size (6-4 7/8, 219), accuracy and processing power,” continued Pelissero. “He may be the most immediate of all QB groups playing in the NFL. Now. Does he have the chance to become a professional authentic, long-term starter? All you need is one team to buy and take a shot in Round 1 at Shough. ”
Again, we’ve seen this song and dance before. But it requires only one team.
Other Potential Round 1 Surprises
In addition to Shough and Pelissero Four other prospects were included Who was able to leave the board as UCLA linebacker Carson Schwessinger and Georgia Center’s Jared Wilson. Ohio DT Tyleik Williams, and Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka.
Of these, the most surprising thing may be Egbuka. This is an interesting WR class, but he caught 205 passes for 2,868 yards and 24 touchdowns, setting a new Ohio State record for reception while surrounded by Columbus Egbuka’s talent.
Certainly, you can argue that receivers around him (such as Marvin Harrison Jr., Jackson Smith Nigba, and recently Jeremiah Smith) can take advantage of more opportunities for him. However, he could be a very interesting option for a team that needs to deal with WR in the first round.
In particular, the team that quarterback Egbuka played in college…
Have the Steelers been locked up in DT?
With Aaron Rodgers’ plans for 2025 ongoing, with the latest rumours that the veteran quarterback might simply leave the game – many believe Pittsburgh Steelers You’ll have to deal with the quarterback with their pick in the first round.
But can Pittsburgh go in a different direction?
According to the radio host Steelers’ Andrew Filipponi is watching the defensive line with their pick at No. 21 and is trapped in Oregon DT Derrick Harmon.

Harmon also visited the Steelers as one of his pre-draft visits before the top 30, and Oregon products He is considered one of the top players In the draft, a consensus mock draft lists him within the first round.
Which cowboy chooses WR?
Wide receivers remain popular picks Dallas Cowboys With a mock draft and for good reason. At the NFL league meeting last month, Stephen Jones showed his team was looking for a “explosive” option alongside Cedeelam. “We’re still open to seeing a really explosive number two that can upgrade us,” Jones said. “But like I said, I like our room and certainly like the players we have now.”
But who is at number 12?
Arizona WR Tetaro A MacMillan is one of the common choices for the Cowboys in that location, but another option is emerging in Dallas: Texas WR Matthew Golden. Marcus Mosher Team 33 I saw both Macmillan and Golden as options for the Cowboys and concluded that if Golden was still on the board, it would be a “minor shock” if it wasn’t a Dallas pick.
For the sake of record, I choose Macmillan in that scenario, but Mosher plugs in much more in Dallas than I do…
Two veteran Tess on the move?
Can two veteran tight ends move before the draft?
That emerged from the scenario Fox Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultzlet’s start with Baltimore Ravens Tight end mark Andrews. As many have pointed out, Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta spoke at length this week about Andrews, significantly uncommitted about his future with the Ravens.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen and I wouldn’t want to say this or that,” Decosta said. I said. “But I can tell you this: Mark Andrews is a warrior. He plays his ass for us, and his competitiveness, talent, attitude and leadership are all very valuable here. He is a great player and we are a business that maintains as many great players as possible.
Andrews is finishing his down campaign. Buffalo Bills In the AFC section. He also took part in the final year of his contract, and when the team moves him into the deal, he gets about $11 million in cap space.
So, as Schultz points out, it’s similar to the situation with Dallas-Geedart. Philadelphia Eagles. Goedert is also the final year of his contract, and the team has already begun. Calls on his availability in tradeIncludes New York Giants.
What makes this trade easier for the Ravens and Eagles is the fact that it is a very attractive TE class, starting with Tyler Warren in Pennsylvania and Colston Loveland in Michigan. Both players are expected to leave the board in the first round LSU Te Mason Taylor.
And the Ravens could also accumulate in that position.
stay tuned.
