2025 NFL Draft - Round 1 Discussion


Recommended Posts

Tampa Bay selected a WR for some reason, after getting Evans and Godwin back. That means Egbuka will likely play in the slot for Tampa. They had Jaylen McMillan from Washington go off for them last year too. 

Weird that they didn't go defense, but they will have an absolutely stacked offense next year.

XL was able to run by some guys last season and then promptly dropped the ball or didn't track it correctly.

I will say that he definitely doesn't play like a sub-4.4 guy. 

But he is in no way shape or form "slow."

XL is always open. Looking forward to him catching the ball better this year.

combine be damned there is no way you can argue XL is a fast player watching his tape, same with Tet.  They are not fast players.  Mike kaye even made a thing about it last training camp

X is fast...once he gets going...and is running in a straight line.

Look, man, there is room for improvement. Stop judging him on a partially busted first season.

He for sure was not always open. He was a much better route runner than expected but he got flat out shut down plenty of times during the season.

    • Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
    • No one is upset.  And what I referred has been happening.   Patrick Mahomes has an offseason basketball clause in his contract.  A ton of other physical activites like jet skiing, baseball and all sorts of physical activities are written into his contract.  XL likely already has ATVs and stuff written into his contact.  League already has been inserting a lot of that stuff into basic contracts for non-top tier players and we have seen it pan out.  
    • A payment for future production, puts him a cane for 9 seasons.
