Official 2025 NFL Draft Day Thread

[Teamcheez1]

Somebody had to start this.

[Teamcheez1]

Initial thoughts:

Supposedly 125k+ at the draft.
Schefter looks stupid with the hoody/suit combo.
Browns fleeced the Jaguars with the first trade of the draft.

[jklowan]

gave a ton to get em

[King Friday]

Browns finally made a good football related decision.

[sharpe1027]

Browns did something right on paper, but will make up for it by wasting the picks.

[King Friday]

They didn’t waste the first one.

[sharpe1027]

They didn’t waste the first one.

We'll see. They had one of the worst offenses last year.

[Teamcheez1]

Is Jeanty that good to be a top 10 pick?

[King Friday]

No RB is, but he is a hell of a player.

[MadtownPacker]

Packers fans doing it right booing the bears but showing respect at the right time.

[King Friday]

Bears take a TE that doesn’t know what a block is. Fine with me.

[Fosco33]

NFL trying to have heart warming things when hated teams are up. Lol

[Sparkey]

They have always done that. I like how Pack fans hushed up when they talked about McMichael. Yeah he was a bear, but no one should be booing a guy who died from ALS. Such a horrible fucking disease.....

[Teamcheez1]

Glad Stewart is off the board. Don’t need another project.

[Teamcheez1]

Will the Steelers draft Sanders and close the door on Aaron Rodgers?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Will the Steelers draft Sanders and close the door on Aaron Rodgers?

I’d rather Sanders fall to the Packers!

What if this is all the Love we’ll ever get? An inconsistent player who is capable of pimping but has a penchant for stupid mistakes.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

And Lumpensteelers pass on Sanders for a Yokozuna!

[Teamcheez1]

I wanted Harmon. How many times have the Steelers robbed us?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Shedeur Sanders in the Green and Mustard Yellow, yo!

[SkinBasket]

Shedeur Sanders in the Green and Mustard Yellow, yo!

Do we get a rebate on the dickhead contract?

[Fritz]

Shedeur Sanders in the Green and Mustard Yellow, yo!

Ugh. No thank you. Ugh.

[Teamcheez1]

Shedeur Sanders in the Green and Mustard Yellow, yo!

No, but I could see us trading back for someone who does want Sanders.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Ugh. No thank you. Ugh.

You said exactly the same shit in 2005 when I told you Butte should be the pick for the Packers.

Sanders is a cockier version of Butte.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers on the clock. No yokozunas, please.

Shedeur!

[Teamcheez1]

Simmons, Golden, Green?

[Fritz]

Simmons, Golden, Green?

Not Golden please.

[Fritz]

Will Johnson?

[SkinBasket]

Chargers and Packers working the clock for a sanders trade

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Will Johnson?

Might as well take Peter North.

[Teamcheez1]

Will Johnson?

We have had enough high pick, injured corners.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Not Golden please.

Hahahaha :)

[MadtownPacker]

Dressed just right for the occasion!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

4.29 40, I dig.

[SkinBasket]

Dressed just right for the occasion!!!

To be a little bitch?

[Teamcheez1]

Some of our existing WR’s days are numbered.

[pittstang5]

Ugh…don’t like it. He’s dressed like a douche-canoe.

[Teamcheez1]

Dressed just right for the occasion!!!

Looks like he made that suit out of my aunt’s old sofa.

[MadtownPacker]

I like this pick. I think Love and him with be a perfect contrast.

[Teamcheez1]

I like this pick. I think Love and him with be a perfect contrast.

This. Good pick considering all the other 1st rounders Gute has picked.

[Upnorth]

Well we finally drafted a wr with our 1st round pick

[SkinBasket]

I like this pick. I think Love and him with be a perfect contrast.

A young guy with potential vs a middling confused overpaid clown? Is that the contrast?

[MadtownPacker]

To be a little bitch?
Wearing gold with a big ass G is being a little bitch? If you said dbag I could see it but he was G up in a cool way.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, good pick. I'd rather have this guy than Egbuka. I think I'd have preferred Will Johnson, but we haven't had very good luck picking Corners, so good pick.

[SkinBasket]

If you said dbag I could see it but he was G up in a cool way.

Word. Or as you Cali guys say, he’s “rad!”

[MadtownPacker]

Well we finally drafted a wr with our 1st round pick
What’s up man!

Brett and Aaron talking a lot of shit tonight. :lol:

[MadtownPacker]

Word. Or as you Cali guys say, he’s “rad!”
That was an LA word never hit in the taco bending community. Mofo you didn’t like his G necklace just a little?

You really should love the pick a lot. He might end up calling out Love even harder than you!

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah, good pick. I'd rather have this guy than Egbuka. I think I'd have preferred Will Johnson, but we haven't had very good luck picking Corners, so good pick.
If anything it made for an exciting change on draft day.

[Spaulding]

I’m underwhelmed, thus it must be a good pick. Let the “golden” child era begin.

[Fosco33]

They have always done that. I like how Pack fans hushed up when they talked about McMichael. Yeah he was a bear, but no one should be booing a guy who died from ALS. Such a horrible fucking disease.....

No doubt. Cowboys or Niners had something for the troops. Right after

[Teamcheez1]

Sanders slides out of the first round.
Slightly surprised, but not as much as the talking heads.

[Fritz]

I’m underwhelmed, thus it must be a good pick. Let the “golden” child era begin.

Whether it be touchdown catches or dropped passes raining down upon us, he will hereafter and always be known as “The Golden Shower.”

[run pMc]

I thought NYG were going to take Shaduer when they traded with HOU, beyond that I'm not that surprised he slid out of the first. This QB class is doodoo.

I was hoping for Will Johnson, but his medical must be scary. The DTs went fast, Tyliek would've been a slight reach. I'd have been ok with a trade back, but Golden might turn out to be a good cheap playmaker, and you can't have enough of those.
I didn't watch a ton of his videos, will have to change that. From what I've seen he's... ok? Ewers did him no favors on a lot of underthrows, so he'll be used to it when Love does the same. That said, he's a bit undersized but he's fast, and they need speed so that's good.

Golden Shower lol gross

[Guiness]

Just how far does Shedeur fall? I didn’t expect this. He was reportedly in the conversation for the #1 overall, but now I have to wonder if that was manufactured.


His and his dad’s nose are going to be WAY out of joint.

[Deputy Nutz]

The Sanders family did this, He was first round talent.

[Bretsky]

The Sanders family did this, He was first round talent.


the GB reporters chatted with 3 GM's who (off the record, which is common) said the interview he game was just atrocious. One said the worst he can remember. Used the words privileged and entitled. I'm guessing some teams took this guy off their boards.

I have a feeling he's dropping to round 3

[Guiness]

Steelers passed in him again. Looks like he’s radioactive and will not be taken today at all.

I wonder if he pulls out if the draft. He obviously needs to rehab his image. Deion is going to have plenty to say about this.

[ThunderDan]

Maybe Sanders is all hat and no cattle.

Hyped up by his dad in a crazy college O. No one is sure if he transfers to the pro game. No one wants to deal with the Sanders PR machine.

[Guiness]

And he finally goes…to the Browns.

I can’t help but laugh. The tire fire gets drafted by the dumpster fire. How mad will Deion get when his name is inevitably added to the qb list jersey?

The talking heads on the nfl network seriously pissed me off after he was drafted. They went on and on about him and the fall for about 10 minutes while you could hear the ’pick is in’ tone going off in the background, and they didn’t cut away to show them. I went to the bathroom and they were still fucking talking when I got back!

[Jaire]

hahaha

Sanders to the Browns in the 5th is worse than not getting picked at all. Did the league pass around a hat and pay the Browns to take him?

[Upnorth]

I'm liking our draft, but I now love the browns draft!!! Not because of their picks, but because big mouth sanders said he did t want his son playing with the browns.... and in the 5th, bwahahaha.

[MadtownPacker]

It works for both sides. At least the expectations will be as low as can be possible in either direction.

Now if somehow someway he is successful there Deion will never shut the fuck up about it!

[RashanGary]

Hi guys. Hope you’re all healthy n happy! 1st round WR!! Let’s go!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Hi guys. Hope you’re all healthy n happy! 1st round WR!! Let’s go!

S’up, Harrell. Still listening to Snow Patrol and noodling catfish?

Health-wise, I’ve gotta stop eating too much. Ain’t been jolly since I shut down Darren Charles in a high school football game. Still flipping burgers, so ain’t alotta shit to be happy about.

I, too, dig the first round wideout. 4.29 40, yo.

Btw, am too lazy to get a new avatar and sig at the moment.

[Fritz]

And he finally goes…to the Browns.

Best line of the thread!!

[run pMc]

I have no idea what the Browns were thinking. They took Dillon Gabriel (a 5'11" QB with a noodle arm by pro standards) with a top 100 pick, then turn around a take Sanders two rounds later. They already have Pickett and Flacco (and DeCreep Watson) on the roster.
The Giants trade up for Jaxson Dart and Cleveland says hold my beer to reassert their place as worst QB decision making team.

I would argue that getting arguably the best QB in this draft class in the 5th denotes ingenuity, not incompetence.

Watch the films: Young Shed looks like a poor man’s Butte. And Butte was great once upon a fucking time. I reckon, the hypocrisy of NFL decisions makers was why Sanders fell into the abyss.

Jalan Carter, the former Georgia Yokozuna, played a key role in the tragic deaths of two young folks while driving recklessly; still drafted in the 1st. But yeah, let’s kinda blackball a kid whose only crime is, he’s egoistic, egotistic, brash, spoiled, full of self-entitlement and just happens to be the Oedipal son of ex-NFL great, Neon Deion.

That being said, perhaps the “abyss” will humble the kid the fuck up. As I once emailed The Claymaker: Yo, you ain’t a shutdown corner, amigo; don’t be so cocky; be humble and play with “grace in your heart.”

[RandsRevenge]

^^^ I don't think the Sanders thing is hypocrisy or anything like that. I think it boils down to the fact that most NFL coaches want to have as much control as they can. If they could remote control their QBs, they would. They all talk a big about 'off platform' throws, and like everyone else, they love it when they work, or when their calculated 'shots' work, but what they really want is for the offense to be as boring as all hell, with Brady/Manning moving the ball down the field in safe predictable guaranteed 7 yard chunks.

[sharpe1027]

Sanders wasn't anywhere near the best QB. Average arm strength at best. Accuracy good, but inflated numbers based on the throws he was asked to make. Not a running threat. Undersized. Had the best player in college football to throw the ball to.

He's got a chance in the NFL, but, ignoring the hype and looking objectively, I don't understand why he was being projected near the top of the draft

It will be interesting to see how he turns out. Before the draft, I read that many scouts were mixed on his prospects, all agreeing that he was tough in the pocket, with better than average accuracy and timing; but, some felt he did not have the arm strength to make all the throws most coaches would expect of him as a regular starter. One scout commented that accuracy and timing can make-up for lack of arm strength in college, but not as much in the pros where everyone is quick as heck.

[run pMc]

What is his elite trait? For a pro-QB, he's short, his arm is meh, and he's not especially athletic. He had good accuracy, but I got the impression he was a short-to-intermediate guy. By all means take him R5, why not. I didn't see the top 5 talk though. Having Deion and all that involves was obviously a drag on his draft value as well -- what HC wants that headache? It's bad enough when fans and reporters are slagging you on social media, but when the kid's dad is a HOF'er and coach himself? No thanks. Too much of a zoo.

My bigger thing was the Browns basically burning a top 100 pick on a QB who has even of a less chance of success when that is a team with problems. By all accounts Dillon Gabriel is a great guy, good team leader, etc., but he's not a pro-QB. At least Shadeur has a chance if he goes the game manager/backup route.

Because punks like ThunderDan refuse to hire me, I continue to flip burgers. Burger flipping has killed all of my confidence in wooing chicks. Consequently, I spend virtually every weekend grinding at poker at the local casino, which has a Sportsbook.

Point being, while I no longer can stand to watch college sports - shit makes me long for the era when I was “young and full of life and full of love” - I was exposed to a tons of Colorado games while at the casino.

Sanders ain’t a midget, hombre. He’s 6-2, same as Butte. And anyone saying Sanders has a noodle arm has never seen Matt Flynn sling a rock. Matt Flynn, Shedeur Sanders ain’t. Does Young Shed possess prime Butte aerial arm power? Perhaps not. But, from the games I’ve seen, Shed can make all the throws, especially in “scramble mode.” Shed reminds me a lot of Butte, and like Butte, Shed has a penchant for holding onto the rock for eons.

And besides, even if you totally ignore my take, Ole Nutz proclaimed that Shed has talent. Nutz can tell the differences between the “Pistol Force” and the “Pistol Pete,” so at least heed the futbol guru.

Disagreed but noted.

Keep us updated on Sanders’ career, given the fact that you reside in Cleveland.

This 100%. He had the highest percent of balls thrown at or behind the LOS. Basically he was asked to throw a shit ton of bubble screens and such and let the WR's get YAC.

[ThunderDan]

I have been nice in the past but I am going to end this now.

There are not enough accountants and CPAs in the employee pool. We have had to pay a headhunter to find qualified employees to work for us. We have never had an accountant or CPA send us a resume and ask for a job. We have posted on all the job websites and get no one to respond to our offers who was remotely near qualified.

When APB says no one will hire him it means one of two things most likely. One, he was convicted of a felony. Two, he was caught stealing money or information from a company.

If APB truly sent out a resume to a CPA firm and had the needed qualifications and not a felony, he would be hired in 5 days at $75,000+ plus all benfits. And that is just as a starting staff accountant without a CPA license. CPAs start at $100,000+.

I am neither a felon nor a thief. I am terrible at interviews, though.

[ThunderDan]

I am neither a felon nor a thief. I am terrible at interviews, though.

Then apply to a CPA firm and you will have a job in a week.

[smuggler]

You can prepare for interviews, you know. It's not a felony.

[bobblehead]

Then apply to a CPA firm and you will have a job in a week.

Working for the man in a CPA firm is just another way of flipping burgers. (APB attitude, not mine)

[Bretsky]

Hi guys. Hope you’re all healthy n happy! 1st round WR!! Let’s go!



WELCOME !! But WTF have you been ????

I was worried you were in jail or something :))

[sharpe1027]

Then apply to a CPA firm and you will have a job in a week.

You're challenging APB's main schtick with facts. Don't expect this to end well.

[run pMc]

In case you didn't hear, the word on Shadeur Sanders is that he bombed interviews and came off as entitled. Not a good look to go up to the whiteboard and tell the HC "your play sucks, here's one I like that we did at CU".

Now, he's a great pick as a Day 3 flier based on talent, but not with that attitude. Nobody wants that in your QB room or your locker. He's going to have to earn it the hard way.

[run pMc]

Then apply to a CPA firm and you will have a job in a week.

If autistic Ben Affleck can do it, so can you.

[smuggler]

That's just regular Ben Affleck

[bobblehead]

Just watched a little John Williams film after reading a pick profile on packerwire. He's the rocket scientist right?? Anyway I really like what I saw. It reminds me of my reaction after watching Zach Tom film and asking "why the hell did this guy slide that far". I can't say I love the Belton film any better than the Williams film.
