2025 NFL Draft • Page 87

This new version looks sick

 

Yeah I really like the new layout vs the old PDF version

 

Immediate reactions:
- Restrepo at WR25/ 5-6 round grade is the lowest I’ve seen him; good validation that I’ve had him as a day 3 guy in my head vs the 2nd rounder he’s been going in our mocks
- Shough as QB4/ 2 round grade is still wild to me; I still don’t see it at all
- Jordan James and Trevor Etienne with 3rd round grades (and above Skattebo) is
- the safety order is a little surprising too — Billy Bowman and Jonas Sanker are names I’m not very familiar with that have R3 grades and didn’t go in our mocks
- interesting if teams truly see Banks as a OG, I still think he gets drafted to stick at OT

 

There’s a former scout-turned-reporter here in Pittsburgh who is IN LOVE with Shough. So I could see some team loving him. It only takes one team.

 

we love our priors being confirmed

 

Added the current RP data to his historic stuff:

- Travis Hunter is his best tracked prospect, no need to bring him up again lol

Routes:

- Jaylin Noel is his 8th highest rated
- Matthew Golden and Luther Burden are top 20.
- Jayden Higgins is 48/51, Tre Harris is 44/51. Everyone else around him has busted out pretty hard or is Rashee Rice who is king of manufactured targets on simple routes. Next best guys there are Keon Coleman and George Pickens but they're a decent amount above them too.

Situation (Man/Zone/Press/Double):

- Elic Aymanor grades 44/51 in zone, Tre Harris 42nd
- Higgins is 47th in press which is by far the worst when you factor in frequency.
- When factoring in rate, Ayomanor is 2nd best in class at beating double coverage. Golden is worth mentioning too but he didn't face it as much. Higgins has a high rate of beating double coverage but an abysmally low rate of coverage faced to the point where I find it EXTREMELY concerning. Only guys who faced it less often were Polk, Skyy Moore, and Metchie.

Overall:

- Jaylin Noel is the top guy after Hunter, finishing in 7th overall.
- Matthew Golden is 12th, right next to Ladd McConkey which is a good analytical comparison for him
- Tet and Elic finish out the top 20.
- Higgins is 47/51, Tre Haris is 42nd.

 

Watching Tre Harris today and there is one particular rookie WR I LOVED last year who he def reminds me of (just a lesser version). However, one quick search and it appears everyone’s made the BTJ comp lol

 

Not remotely close athleticism. BTJs route running "limitations" were more scheme related than ability. I've seen normal human DK Metcalf and I think that fits

 

Yeah I made sure I wrote lesser version lol. I always believed BTJ’s route running was just a scheme related situation. Not remotely sure on Harris and if there’s room to grow/develop or he’ll just be like … Alec Pierce

Hate how cool this would be for the Browns

 

it’s cool if he’s good. and they’ll sell jerseys. buuuuttttt idk about that

 

Hell yeah Harmon just dropped his profile on Bech and he's a fan. I was really intrigued by what I saw with Bech

 

fire Grier if we pick an Edge at 13

(fire him anyways, but yeah)

 

it is apparently pronounced "Besh" if anyone was curious

 

Graham falling to 8 would be awesome

 

what are the character concerns for pearce? people keep mentioning it but i’m not seeing anything for him like i am mike green or whatever

 

Everything I saw was that he was extremely naturally talented and just tried to coast off that and not actually try so basically stuff like that

 

oh. seems like there is probably a better phrase that can be used to describe that haha

 

on-field there's Tennessee's whole thing of putting him in the most advantageous position possible on every down

i (a non film watcher, avid podcast listener) would not want to take him

 

Oh fuck off

 

It's really probably that "character concerns" is used too much for things that should make players actually undraftable but yeah there still probably is a better way to put that

 

Nothing like, extremely detailed, but he was basically described as arrogant and uncoachable

 

i guess that is literally a concern with his character haha just seems weird to lump that in the same umbrella with mike green who was accused of SA twice

not saying anyone in here is doing that
