DocNiner 67 Posted March 12 Since free agency has started and a bunch of players finding.new homes their departures leave hole the teams need to address. We know that strange things can happen the the NFL Draft and there's likely going to be some moves up and moves down in the first round. I like to see what you guys think could be some BOLD MOVES in the 2025 Draft. Are there some dark horses that make a bold move to get to the top of the draft to.grab one of the touted couple of QBs. Will some team fall in love with a RB enough to toss caution to the wind and snatch them up before another team gets a chance at them. So feel free to post any BOLD MOVES you think might happen in the 2025 NFL Draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximum Overkill 1,738 Posted March 12 If anything I can see a team making a bold move up to get Jeanty or Hampton. I can't imagine anyone getting too crazy to grab one of these mediocre QBs. Perhaps the Steelers if Rodgers falls through but that's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do suppose it depends on what the price is to move up. if they want the concensus #1 pick at QB they should try to get ahead of cleveland (who also needs a QB) Tennessee needs a QB but I get the distinct feeling they wont take one this year. and they do have enough holes in the lineup where trading back to get extra picks might be the right play for them.

It crossed my mind that Jeanty to the Cowboys is a slam dunk in the few mocks I read. Can't help but feel like someone might jump that pick if for no other reason than to see the look on Jerry's face. I know the Niners need help in a lot of places but he might be a nice fit there ...

DocNiner 67 Posted March 14 11 hours ago, LaChup said: I can see the Raiders taking Jeanty. Yeah, I could definitely see this happening. Raiders have a QB in Geno Smith for probably a couple of years and I think they might grab one of the rookies in the 2nd or 3rd round. They don't need a TE with budding superstar Brock Bowers so the Raiders need weapons on offense. Clearly Jeanty is the top runningback in this draft class. The Raiders are going to have to put points on the board in a division with 3 other pretty good teams. Broncos should be better and if the Chargers land one of the 2 top TEs they'll be much better. So as I look.at it now the Raiders are on the bottom of this division so they need an offensive player who's going to help stay relevant, if that's possible, in this tough division. Enter ASHTON JEANTY. If they draft him then they'll at least be able to provide better competition with the Broncos,Chargers and Chiefs. Plus grabbing Jeanty means that Dallas can.scrap their notion of getting him. I guess that's why they brought Javonte Williams in knowing that Jeanty would be gone when they pick at 12. So if the Raiders have any aspirations of trying to keep pace with the other 3 teams in their division then I think it's imperative that they draft Ashtkn Jeanty with their first pick at #6. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be a little surprised because we know age is not a rb's friend. He was great on my 49ers and he certainly balled out in Miami. However, if the Raiders take Jeanty at #6 then Mostert's numbers will be way down. They still have Sincere McCormack who they like and a lot younger. I do think that Mostert could see significant goal line touches and 8 tds wouldn't be out of the question. If the Raiders pass on Jeanty I still think Mostert would split carries with McCormick and at best he'd get 600-700 yds. and 5-6 tds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 67 Posted March 15 Looking over the 1st round of the 2025 draft I see 7 teams that currently need QBs. I cut it to 5 removing the Raiders(Geno Smith) and Steelers(Rodgers Sweepstakes?). So that leaves the Titans, Browns, Giants, Jets and possibly the Saints. All these teams are in the top 10 of picks. I do think that a QB will be the #1 pick and in all likelihood that will be Cam Ward. Of these QB needy teams is there one that will offer a deal to get that first overall pick? Yes. I've narrowed that to 2 teams. The Giants, who hole pick #3 and the Jets who hold pick #7. I just think that the Titans won't keep the pick and draft a QB although they could keep it and take either Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter. Yet I think they will entertain offers for their #1 pick and eventually make a deal with a team. So, who's that team? While the Giants could have the edge in what they could offer I have a darkhorse to consider trading up to #1. That team is the N.Y. Jets, who hold pick #7. I don't have compeling evidence to say what they can offer I just merely have a gut hunch that they will be the team to offer an attractive enough package to secure the #1 pick. Not sure what the other teams in the top 7 will do I just believe that the Jets make a good enough offer to the Tians to get pick #1 and take Cam Ward. Sure you guys make pick apart my choice of the Jets but heck you guys may have some other ideas on who would want to go after the #1 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 1,286 Posted March 15 I don't understand why the Titans are not expected to take a QB. They should draft a QB #1 overall. They need a great franchise quarterback and they're not getting one drafting a defensive pass rusher or Travis Hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest yes the Titans should draft a QB with pick#1 and it should be Cam Ward. Yet I'm not sure they're ready to move on from Will (mayonnaise) Levi's and admitting they were wrong it drafting him. He's been in the league a few years and really haven't seen a great deal of improvement from him. Granted they haven't really surrounded him with players that would help his development I just don't think he's a franchise QB. If they trade the #1 pick to the JETS to get additional picks then there' a chance that Shedeur Sanders would be available to them at pick #7. All the dpeculation going around about who should move up to get Ward the Titans could squash all that and just stand pat at one and take Ward but they'd have to be certain that he's the guy that's going to elevate the Titans and be their franchise for X number of years. Yes by all means they should just pick Ward at #1 but I get the feeling they'renot 100% convinced his their guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it wouldn't surprise to see the Jets swing for the fences at #7 and take Jaxson Dart. His stock has been rising but is he worthy of such a high pick? Could be. If they don't.tske Dart at #7 then the QBs left aren't really much better than Fields. Seen some mocks with them.taking TETyler Warren. He certainly hives them a bona-fide weapon on offense for QB Fields. So I think they may pass on Dart and take Warren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure to get another weapon for you not franchise QB. Take a TE in the top 7. In a good TE class. Teams with no real shot at winning a SB and pick in the top 10 need to take premium positions. Jets are usually clueless so who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DocNiner 67 Posted March 25 As the draft approaches mock drafts are.changing all the time. Who's going #1, what will the Raiders do at six, will Dallas draft a RB at 12, will Jim Harbaugh have a chance to draft his former college TE Colston Loveland? The QB situation has been mashed over more than potatoes and where they'll fall and who's taking them. Consensus as of now looks like Cam Ward will go #1 to the Titans. No clue if Sanders will be therenatn3 and will the Giants take him. Most ojmdits think there will be 3 QBs taken in the first round, Ward, Sanders and Dart. I however am.going to say there will be 4 QBs taken in the first round.Ward goes #1 to the Titans, Sanders goes #3 to the Giants, Jaxson Dart goes #9 to the Saints(big move up for him) and lastly Tyler Shough goes to the Steelers at #21. Yes even if they get Rodgers who'll probably be done after one year and may balk at mentoring Shough but that won't hinder them taking him with their 1st pick. I know they didn't hit on Pickett in the first round a few years ago but I think Shough is better than him. Louis Riddick is really touting this kid and yes that means squat but I still think he's got a chance to get drafted in the first round. Pittsburgh needs to figure their QB situation out with or without Rodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DocNiner 67 Posted April 11 On 3/26/2025 at 6:02 PM, LaChup said: Dak Prescott to the Browns and Dallas drafts Shadeur Ball. Lavar Sanders becomes assistant coach. Yeah, I don't think that'llhappen but I do have one more bold move involving the Cowboys that'll shake up thr first round a bit. The Cowboys have pick #12 and there's likely an RB available at that pick, Omarion Hampton. I don't think they'll be drafting Hampton but they ARE going totake a rb. They won't wait until the 2nd,3rd or even 4th round to get a rb. I believe they're going to make a.bolder move to get a runningback. It's been pounded in many mock drafts that the Raiders will take RB ASHTON JEANTY with pick #6. I think they're going to end up disappointed to find out that the Cowboys trade with Jacksonville to move up to pick #5 and select RB Ashton Jeanty. Poor Raiders lose out again. This trade is coming straight from the top dog in Dallas Jerry Jones. Before you say they won't draft a RB that high if I recall correctly they select Ezekiel Elliott with pick #4 in a draft year I don't remember but had heard they took Elliott at #4. Jerry certainly knows the Cowboys aren't even going to sniff the playoffs if they don't have a running game. So, I submit my bold move for your dissection, thoughts or disagreements on the Cowboys moving up to puck #5 to take RB ASHTON JEANTY. I don't think it's a far fetched idea but one that could truly happen. Yes we've heard time and time again that the Cowboys need a legit #2 WR opposite CeeDee Lamb to help his production, as if he needs help,LOL. Yet obtaining Ashton Jeanty would boosts Lamb's game in my opinion. So ther you have it, the COWBOYS trade with the JAGUARS to move up to pick #5 and take RB ASHTON JEANTY.

I say the picks go like this,. 1-Cam Ward, 2-Shedeur Sanders, 3-Travis Hunter, 5- Abdul Carter 5-Ashton Jeanty. At least this is how I think my top 5 picks will go. Feel.bad for the Raiders if they miss out on Jeanty so they'll probably trade back if Jeanty's off the board at #6. I think there's a good chance as well as another runningback goes in the top 10 picks. After seeing what Saquone Barkley did last year teams are now re-evaluating what they think about RBs. The trend is that teams are probably placing more value on rbs but I still only see 3 RBs worthy of being 1st round picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
