2025 Mock Drafts

I love that little mock draft tool, but it's definitely flawed. Savion Williams consistently drops to the 6th/7th when I do it, and he's likely a day 2 pick. Mike Green is the same. 

If the Rams keep playing well, I could definitely see us trading back if the price is right. Would definitely come off of pick 8 and pick 60 (hypothetically) For something like pick 15 and pick 45.

Not to mention those 6th and 7th round picks are going to mean a lot more for us than they will other teams. Our roster stinks and needs NFL quality players, especially on defense. I definitely could see us trading back and acquiring more picks. All three of our specialists are free agents as well.

1st: Walker is too good to pass up here.  And I’m sure by the the time combine and pro days are up.  Your going to be hearing his name as a top 10 lock.  Walker is a hybrid LB/Edge guy.  But we’ll just call him a defensive weapon.  He is the ultimate chess piece for Evero in his front 7.  And fills a role that Evero loves/vital part of his defense.  We saw Frankie Luvu thrive and takeoff in this role which left a void when he went to Washington.  Baron Browning played this spot in Denver as well.

2nd: Watts- our safety room some could argue was the worst in the entire NFL this year.  And every single one of them are hitting FA this year.  So I expect a full overhaul at a position Evero LOVES in his defense (plays a lot of 3-3-5 with 3 safeties).  Watts is an extremely high IQ, overall well rounded Safety.  And one of the best in coverage the past few years.  Pairing him with a Holland in FA, and you’ll see this secondary do a 180 turn.

 

3rd: Jared Wilson- a name you aren’t hearing now but get familiar with him now.  Wilson is the top Center in the draft class.  An extremely athletic mauler.  Who only started for 1 year at Georgia.  He graded out as the top Center in CFB and is expected to really show off in workouts.  He is graded around late 2nd early 3rd due to his lack of positional flexibility, many believe he will be strictly a Center at the next level.  Wilson fills a giant need on this team no one is talking about.  As we have no Centers under contract for next year.  And have heard all the reports of how our FO values the importance of the OL in particular in the middle having the smaller QB (see the big Guard contracts last offseason). Another fun fact, like Walker, Wilson is a NC kid, growing up in Winston Salem.

Mike Green going in the 1st

Same with Matthew Golden

 

I've heard his name pop up in top 10, legit......   Mike Green that is. One guy I listen said he would kill the combine and he had 17 sacks and half came against draft-level talent....

 

I've also heard this is biggest difference in ranking in like 20 some years. Teams have guys listed as top 10 and others have third round grades on the same player. It's crazy, no one has the same top 10 or even close. Huge difference on many players. This will be a wild ride on draft day.

    • That new home page looking sexy and thicc
    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
