2025 NFL Mock Draft 1.0 - Congrats, Refs! • Page 11

Colts select Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

Porter mixes the size that Ballard likes in a CB with the straight line speed needed more in Anarumo’s defense than in either of the past couple schemes we’ve played. Plus Ballard loves position switch guys who might be a little raw. Might be a reach, but I anticipate he’s a big combine winner which would bring him to about here

 

@Night Channels falcons

 

The Atlanta Falcons select:

Benjamin Morrison - Cornerback - Notre Dame



Cards up @MidDave

 

The Arizona Cardinals select Xavier Restrepo WR, Miami

I think they need another WR, particularly one to play out of the slot. Restrepo is also just a draft crush of mine so I'm gonna snag him.

 

now all defense and fat guys for the rest of the Dolphins draft

 

@xbrokendownx - Fins up

 

SUCH a Colts pick

 

I had to leave so I am in the car, but I will take Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

 

@CarpetElf Bengals pick

 

The Cincinnati Bengals select Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Huge fan. With Ossai and Sample both as FAs, and neither one being particularly noteworthy so far in their career, the Bengals seek to bolster their defensive front. Adding Kenneth Grant and Ezeiruaku to Trey Hendrickson and an emerging Kris Jenkins is an immediate turnaround.

@whitenblue88 western birds

 

This is probably the most excited I've been about Boston College's contribution to the draft since Matt Ryan

 

Seahawks select Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

it took me way too many tries to spell this dude’s last name correctly. Also, Seattle only has 1 off ball LB currently under contract who isn’t a back-of-the-roster waiver claim kind of guy

 

@Texas Flood denver

 

God damnit Michael that was my dude!!!


gimme a minute

 

Denver Broncos select: TJ Sanders - DI - South Carolina Gamecocks




This pick could easily go to a RB or WR to continue helping Nix but there are a lot of holes to fix on the defensive side. DJ Jones is a consistent run stuffer but gets no pressure up front. TJ Sanders is a good size fella that can get pressure up front. Something which the Broncos haven't had a DT like that in years.

 

@JRShoenberger Steelers

 

Let’s go with Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss for Pittsburgh.

CB is a bit up in the air right now. Donte Jackson was fine, but he also wasn’t extended which leaves us with Corey Trice on the other side, which doesn’t feel like an upgrade yet.

@MidDave Buccaneers pick

 

good fit

 

I feel like this is a notably shallower cornerback class than usual. Am I crazy in that?

 

I admittedly haven’t looked at the CBs yet. But I haven’t heard people talking about them with a lot of excitement.

 

I think it is. Lots of the guys who were hyped at the beginning of the season either got hurt (Revel, Morrison, Johnson) or got enough in NIL to keep them from taking the mid-round NFL $ (Tacario Davis, Davison Igbinosun, Mansoor Delane, etc) that it took the wind out of the sails of this class

 

Is @MidDave still searching for a CB?

 

Oh shoot sorry I didn’t see I was up

 

I’ll pick in the next 10

 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Savion Williams, WR, TCU

I don't anticipate Godwin being back, but even if he is injuries at WR almost derailed the Bucs season last year.
