Re: 2025 Draft thread
another later round guy (for now) that I have my eye on is Hunter Wohler at safety who smacks the crap out of people, known for health/toughness and seems like he can do the McDonald LB/Safety swapping.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
Walker increasing his draft stock, hearing good things about Norman-Lott. Kenneth Grant isn't participating...
I would guess we pick up one a NT... position of depth in the draft, so I'm not advocating it to be #18 or maybe even 50.

I watched three games of him (vs. ND, Texas & LSU) & was very underwhelmed. Not much of a fan.

He says that Tyler Booker & Kelvin Banks are both in the mix according to his team source.

to move to guard? 6'4" 320 doesn't scream RT and I don't think it's time to move on from Cross yet

Yes, he would play Guard.
Cross is entrenched as the LT. Banks would be plug & play at LG. Teams probably view him as better suited to be a Guard fulltime.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
2.5" more than DK for those keeping track, but obviously jumping 10" higher than Kam did doesn't mean he's as impactful a player, but still... Seems like a very Mike type of Safety. Plus as I mentioned last year- Safety in the first round has been the most likely position to pro bowl out.

They also met with Jared Wilson- Center from Georgia.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
Biggest takeaways:
-Will Campbell is pretty much a lock to go top 10. Even with short arms.
-Armand Membou cemented himself as a top 15 pick most likely, which is unfortunate.
-Jared Wilson & Tate Ratledge (Georgia) are likely targets in Rounds 2 & 3.
-Wilson's testing numbers are off the charts for a Center prospect. Perfect fit for an outside zone scheme. Same could be said for Grey Zabel.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
Travis Hunter is not the only great two-way player in this draft!
This dude is super intriguing.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
Okay, so Jihaad Campbell is my draft crush!!
Emmanwori is the name that is getting thrown around a lot. But I'm absolutely convinced that coach Mac will want this guy! 100%
I'm even willing to go on record now & say that he'll be the pick if he's still on the board at 18.
You heard it here first!

Re: 2025 Draft thread
They currently own picks: 18, 50, 52, 82, 92
Five picks in the top 100. Huge opportunity.
