Interesting Early 2025 Mock Draft Notes

[goattalk100]

Bleacher Report has posted their early NFL mock draft for 2025. A couple of interesting projections in the 1st round.

1. Kelvin Banks lands at #4 overall.

2. Quinn Ewers is not in the 1st round.

3. Tacario Davis at #12.

4. Banks is the only currently rostered Longhorn in the 1st round.

 

I disagree with a lot of these current projections, of course with the most egregious one with no Quinn in the 1st round. Having Shedeur Sanders, Carson Beck & Noah Fifita above him right now is bold. I’m also not sure if Tacario Davis is a top 15 pick next year, but it shows the level of talent he is. A fun exercise & some food for thought, link below.⬇️

I’d be surprised if Ewers isn’t drafted in the 1st Rd. Especially given the blitz (no pun intended) that took place in the ‘24 draft.

Mocks are predictions and nothing more. Some players will rise and others will fall.

Wait until the draft to see what is more realistic

Agreed. I think barring injury Quinn will have a monster year.

Dane Brugler of the Athletic had Banks (6th), Quinn (14th) and Bond (24th) in his mock

Exactly.   They have some of the worst takes (be it mock drafts, trade ideas, etc.) that I've EVER read.

I think that’s much more realistic at this point. Given the season we’re expected to have, those projections would check out much more with a CFP run

That’s why I posted this, I thought it was insane lol.

Bleacher Report is not sports journalism anymore, it's nothing but a click bait blog.  So many of their takes are so far removed from reality it's laughable.

Just don’t let Ewers go to Dallas…I’m holding out hope they draft Manning in 3-4 years.

Can you imagine the jerseys Jerry would sell with a Manning on the back of it?

[cmk4pres]

So stupid. If nix, Penix and McCarthy go top 12 so Weill Ewers

If Dak doesn’t get a new deal then they could potentially look at qb next year. Gonna be interesting to see the approach because I don’t think they would be able to get a top 3 qb if they’re picking in the 20s.

Exactly. It really depends on how many qb needy teams there will be next year. The hope is Quinn balls out & plays so well, a la Joe Burrow’s final year, then he will be the number 1 pick regardless.

I’m not sure Dallas knows what Dallas will do. Haven’t won in 30 years….

DJ Campbell is going to have a monster year and get drafted in the first round.

That’s a bold take but I’m not mad at it. The only thing that could potentially hurt this take is interior lineman are not always prioritized the same way as tackles are
