one day.

Include the video Les Misérables But it’s probably already in your mind, so the mission has been accomplished.

Despite being close to the 2025 NFL Draft, rumors didn’t slow down at all. If anything, they picked up when the draft approached. So let’s go for the latest spin around the rumoured carousel.

Will trade talk be heated?

One interesting element of the 2025 NFL Draft has been the lack of trade so far.

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter pointed out that the weekend was the “common draft era” that was closest to the start of the draft without trading a first-round pick that surpassed the 1993 NFL draft. That year San Francisco 49ers I swapped legendary quarterback Joe Montana for Kansas City Chiefs Just five days before the draft begins:

But it may be about to change.

Over the past 24 hours, several insiders have reported that trade talks have been intensifying. Peter Schrager pointed out on Tuesday. It’s both Cleveland Browns and New York Giants The team’s appeal was about to rise, but most interestingly, “neither team has outwardly rejected those overtures.”

Then on Wednesday morning, Diana Lassini Athletic I dropped her big pre-draft column and reported “.”[t]His Browns, Giants and Patriots work together for second, third and fourth picks, by league source. Most of the teams trying to move up can be seen as targets if Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter is able to seduce one of those teams, especially one of Cleveland, in the right packaging. All three teams listen. ”

The deal wasn’t even a major part of the story yet, but it seems to be about to change.

Kirk Cousin Saturday Special?

Among many interesting information from Russini’s column on Wednesday morning Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Kirk Cousins. According to Russini, the three teams (Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Minnesota) could be involved in potential quarterback deals.

Browns, Steelers And perhaps the Vikings could be involved in cousin trade. Minnesota is seen as the most unlikely scenario given JJ McCarthy’s preferences, and believes his cousin should register for the deal he is involved in. Cousins ​​is believed to be against a deal that involves a situation involving a young QB, similar to the situation he faced in Atlanta last year. If the deal is made, I expect it to go down on Saturday.

Of course, Aaron Rodgers’ situation remains, but Rasini points out that the Steelers are in a “retention pattern” with regard to veteran quarterbacks and have not received an update from Rodgers since their appearance on the “Pat McCuffy Show” last week.

Peter Schrager’s only mock draft has some surprises

Back in the new ESPN insider, Schlager released him The only mock draft of the season A predictive mock based on Wednesday morning, “How to organize top 32 picks based on what I’ve heard from my sources around the league.”

It included some surprises.

The first was Ashton Jeanti. Jacksonville Jaguar At number 5. Lately, the fact that he’s off the board at that spot has been talked about Jeanti being away from the board, but perhaps via the team trading up and going ahead Las Vegas Raiders No. 6, linked to Boise State, who was backed up through the pre-draft process.

Instead, Schrager believes that new general manager James Gladstone “will not get TI-ill in his debut draft.”

Another surprise? New Orleans Saints Georgia’s pass rusher Michael Williams drafted. On number 9. – A recent report from New Orleans linked the saint with an offensive lineman on No. 9.

Instead, Schrager believes the saints will “be one of the early ‘awow’ picks in Round 1 and grab the elite defenders carrying torches from Cameron Jordan for the next decade.”

The entire Schrager mock draft is worth reading as it does every year.

The Steelers are adding two more quarterbacks

Considering the source, you can put this in the “Facts” category rather than the “Rumours” category.

At a pre-draft press conference on Tuesday, Steelers general manager Omar Khan revealed that the team hasn’t finished adding quarterbacks.

The bigger question of course is how to add the other two. cousin? Rogers? Sanders? That combination?

Will New England double the office lady?

The closer the draft is, the more it is New England Patriots It’s locked LSU The offensive lineman willing Campbell on No. 4. Campbell stood out in the Tigers’ left tackle, but considering the length of his arm, he faces questions about moving inwards.

But adding an offensive lineman should be at the top of Foxborough’s to-do list, as protecting Drake May is a priority. This is why ESPN draft analysts believe the Patriot should not stop with Campbell on No. 4. Jordan Reed outlines plans for New England to add another offensive lineman to the top of the second round.

Ohio Guard Donovan Jackson.

“Patriots should entertain the idea of ​​doubling offensive linemen on the first two picks,” Reid wrote. “Jackson is a blocker that rivals the scheme he submitted to Josh Simmons in his left tackle last season after playing only guard before that. He projects as a guard, but Jackson’s versatility and Will Campbell give the Patriot O-line a key transformation.”

Some first round sleeper

On Tuesday, our own JP Acosta identified five potential first round sleepers. North Dakota offensive line manglezabelle, Mississippi cornerback Trey Amos, Iowa WR Jaylin Noel, Ohio State DT Tyleik Williams, Texas A&M Pass Rusher Nic Scourton.

The latest ESPN Insider Pre-draft notebook (Subscription required), Jeremy Fowler shared a list of potential first round sleepers.

It’s always fun to ask the team for the first round of the sleeper. That’s a mild surprise for the average fan, but not necessarily for people in the draft room. South Carolina defensive lineman TJ Sanders, Minnesota attack tackle Aeron Eel Sally, Ohio State Guard Donovan Jackson, East Carolina Corner Soap Level Jr.

ersery is a name that continues to draw closer to the draft.

The Giants’ road to quarterback

The New York Giants need a quarterback as they are third in the draft. Yes, the organization has added Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston this offseason, but with both quarterbacks in the year’s deal, the need to secure a future QB is closer to the top of general manager Joe Shane’s to-do list.

But no, as there is an opportunity to draft either Travis Hunter Jr. or Abdul Carter staring into the face. The QB of 3 doesn’t look like a move.

So how can the Giants add a quarterback? According to Todd McShay of Ringerwhich comes probably through trading into the first round, and draft analysts believe Brian Daboll knows who prefers.

Mississippi quarterback Jackson Dirt.

Speaking in the latest work of “”McShay ShowThe insider points out Daboll likes to dirt, and the Giants push the inside of the building to draft him on No. 3. There is speculation in the league circle that there will be a push to use the Giants’ first pick at quarterback. ”

However, taking dirt on No. 3 means passing Carter, but McShay doesn’t consider it a wise move.

“I love Brian. I told you how much I appreciate and respect him. I won’t let the coach decide that I’m going to take him with me. [Dart, if he is the target]McShay said. [is] Because Abdul Carter is sitting there. ”

As McShay sees it, the Giants take Carter to third place, then they can go back to the first round to draft DART, and use Kayvon Thibodeaux as part of the package.

“By the way, I have a Kayvon Thibodeaux. I don’t know if I want to sign it. I don’t have a fifth year contract,” says McShay. “In fact, one potential scenario is to use Abdul Carter 3 to use Kayvon Thibodeaux as part of the package and go back to the first round to get a Jaxson Dart.”

Check if the giant follows this path.
