NFL Draft - who does your team take with first round pick? Who surprises the most?

[gamecockcat]

I don't know why but I think Sanders slides down into low double digits. Still some questions about his skill set and the baggage doesn't help.

While the Titans need better QB play, I'm not sure Ward is much of an upgrade over Levis. He'll eventually make better decisions one would hope, but there will be growing pains. The Titans have improved the OL but still need more offensive weapons, imo. Put a few more players around Levis and I think he'd be OK. Plus, don't make him make multiple reads. Kid has a masters in Finance but still makes some incredibly dumb decisions. Reading between the lines, no one is thinking this year's QB class is anything special. No one is considered a franchise talent. Why pick one at #1 overall then? Trade back and get some more draft capital to plug the other holes in the roster is my thought.

It seems to be a weak QB draft this year, never know how it actually is going to turn out but it lacks star power. I would either trade hoping to get more picks or take one of the special talents with those first three picks, Campbell, Carter, or Hunter.

No idea who the Falcons will pick, but if it follows their trend of about 55 out of their 60 drafts it will be a wasted pick on a position they don't need.

Would like it if the Ravens would pick Maxwell Hairston, but alas believe they will take Starks from UGa if available.

I think getting the #1 pick was the worst thing that could have happened for the Titans because they are basically trapped into taking the top QB that nobody is willing to trade up to get.

I agree. Ward would be the #4-5 QB if he was in last year's class. Most people feel that he's a top 15-20 overall player, but is elevated due to his position. He's not worthy of #1 and won't attract a big trade deal.

This draft lacks upper end talent for QB, but does have some decent talent in the middle and later rds. Outside of Hunter, this draft lacks upper end WR talent.....and so-so talent mid and late. This draft lacks upper end OL talent, but does have some decent talent mid-to late. However, this draft is loaded with DL, DB's, TE's, RB's throughout.




My personal ideal situation for the Titans would be to trade back to #3 with the Giants. I don't even need a large haul of picks.......just get something. You would still be in the range to get 1 of the 2 elite players in this draft in Carter/Hunter.

I also have a feeling that the 2nd tier of QB's is going to be a bit of a frenzy early in rd 2.......maybe Sanders, Dart, Shough..... And the WR class isn't very great high in the draft. So, I also like the idea of trading down from pick #35 (unless you pass on Ward and want to take Sanders/Dart/Shough)

The Titans always get a top pick n the drafts where there is no sure fire qb. That rings true again n 2025.

I guess they will take Ward but don't want them to

No way the Titans should take ward. Throwing away money. As others said, hes a less physically gifted levis. They should draft OL of they can even if they have to basic give away the pick.

Sanders could go either way. Alot of negative stories of late. Recently that indicates smokescreen but who knows.

Hopefully max goes to a good fit.

Knowing how the last decade has gone for my Steelers. They're gonna draft Jalen Milroe.

Only if they trade up, he is exactly what the Falcons would take after taking a QB 1 in last draft.

 

[maysvilleky]

I don’t know who gets him, but I think Tyler Warren will be the guy teams regret not taking.

Watching it on the NFL Network, can’t take Greenie. You’re right, a ton of people attending this one. Steven Wilson Jr. doing the National Anthem, that should boost his career, I thought he did a good job with it for guy with a gravelly voice.

#1 - I'm cautious but excited about Ward at QB. Most analysts say that he would've been the 4th QB in last yr's class, but would be the 1st QB in many average drafts. Sooooo, we'll see. Hope it works out.

#2 - The Titans pick #35.......following Cleveland then Houston. I hope Shadeur continues to fall. I would love if the Titans could trade back and Shadeur might help facilitate that. I would love if the Titans could get a 3rd rd pick in the package......they might have to package a pick or two (or maybe Levis).....but I hope they get to pick in the 2nd and 3rd.
