Is D.J Fluker a possibility at 14?

Why him over Warmack?

because one is a tackle and the other is a guard and i don't like the idea of drafting a guard in the first round unless you have pretty much everything else set. it's a luxury pick.

i also think that fluker could help more than warmack.

that's about it.

Honestly though, he probably won't make it past 11 or 12. San Diego has no starting tackle on their roster and will have to take him or trade a boatload of picks to move up to grab Johnson. I bet Fluker doesn't get by San Diego and if he does then the Dolphins will draft him.

Right now I have no idea what we're going to do as far as LT goes. Fluker is projecting on the right side so unless we're bailing out on Clary, then I don't think we'd take DJ. Telesco is definitely doing his homework. We talked to McKinnie and could revisit him if things don't fall in place. Also with the trade down rumors, someone like Watson/Armstead might be a target there.

As far as MIA, if they take Albert from KC, then they'd be good at OT since Jonathan Martin would go to the right side. No Albert, the Fins might look then.

About the BPA:

Gettlemen could be looking at this assortment at 14:

Richardson, DT-athletic, plays high. Marvin Austin? DTs bust a lot. Risky.

Patterson, WR-very athletic and raw. Body catcher. Heyward-Bey, Hill, Williamson, Ginn, etc. come to mind. Risky.

Cooper, G. He is a GUARD and we have many needs. Nice player, for a team with few needs.

Rhodes, CB. Tall and a bit inconsistent. Did not have a great pro day. Are any CBs after Milliner genuinely worthy of first round grades?

Kenny Vaccaro, S. Has good size, can hit and cover. Has some bad tape and projects to SS. Are we really drafting a SS at #14?

Does Fluker look that bad now?

He would improve our line ....but take him in the 1st versus who?

there would have to be quite the run on DTs, WRs, S, and CBs for us to have to draft him. there should be better talent available at 14, but i wouldn't cry if he was the pick. there's just a good few other guys I'd rather have at that point.

I disagree. Guard is a need, not Tackle. And Warmack would make instant impact on this line. Fluker and most of these tackles in this draft will struggle like most rookie OTs in the past. Warmack is ranked as the no.1 prospect in this draft on a lot of board.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
