2025 Draft thread 

Post#1 » by Cactus Jack » Wed Jan 29, 2025 4:45 am

I've seen reports that teams have less than 10 players with first round grades. This has to be one of the worst in recent years.

Haha I would be worried, but it’s well known your GM doesn’t believe in taking interior lineman with a 1st.

So... there are like three blue chip guys in this class from what I can gather & one of them is a RB (Hunter, Carter & Jeanty).

Jim Nagy says teams have less than 10 guys with first round grades. Some only have 8 or 9.

Sadly, it's true. He thinks Guards are "overpaid & over drafted". Those are his words, not mine. :wink:

He's never taken one before the 3rd round.

Give me Josh Simmons, would have been a top 10 pick without the injury few months ago.

I could see a scenario where Simmons falls. There’s a good chance that Kelvin Banks and Will Campbell fall to the middle of the 1st round which would push Simmons down some. Maybe not all the way to pick 32 but probably into the late 20’s.

If Simmons drops to the Chiefs, I will quit this board.

And NO WAY Campbell dropping out of the top 10. I have him off the board at 4 cause he is the real deal at the next level. He can pancake you with just his weak hand.

I don't know enough about the O linemen, cause I hear any of them at 5 would be a reach

I got 4 guys I want, Mason Graham, Will Johnson, Travis Hunter, and Tet McMillan, in that order. I assume Abdul Carter and at least 1 QB goes top 4, so at least 1 of those guys will be there at 5

I think ideal draft is Mason Graham at 5, then either Shavon Revel falls to 36 or we trade up into the last 1st to get him, then I really don't know enough about later prospects but I think we'd need an iOL guy and a tall, jump ball receiver. Honestly, ideally we could sign Trey Smith and Tee Higgins, but I don't know if we have the cap for that.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Grayson Allen
Shaedon Sharpe/Malik Beasley
Keldon Johnson/Jett Howard
Cam Whitmore/Taylor Hendricks
Alex Sarr/Kyle Filipowski

Bench: Clint Capela/Bojan Bogdanovic/Leonard Miller

I don’t have Campbell in the top 5. He could easily go between 5-10 though. His problem is that most don’t see him as a LT (just like Banks). They’re both being projected as Guards. That could cause them to fall outside the top 10.

Hey, today is the 30th anniversary of the Niners last SB win.

Those we're fun times, right? :D

Why you have to do this. This is a brand new draft thread and you’re dropping Super Bowl trash talk in here.

I say we outlaw any Super Bowl trash talk in this thread.

Obviously this is 100% me wanting to stay on topic and no other reason why I wouldn’t enjoy Super Bowl trash talk…

Howie is getting carried away with another Bulldog edge rusher but I cannot argue with his draft picks. KC drafting a Diva with a name like that Lol. I hope they do draft Golden as he is a 3rd round prospect. I so want my Bech!
