Official 2025 Draft Thread

WRs are always a need - it's a passing league and a WR should be taken at some point in just about every draft

100% agree.
Also think that applies to CB and OL. You're always going to need a bunch, the top ones are expensive, and they get hurt.

Watson is supposed to be the receiver that takes the top off the defense and opens up the passing game. It’s hard to measure his impact on the other receivers, but his statistics are not overwhelming.
Looking at his stats, he caught 29 passes this year and 28 last season.
He did average 21.4 yards per reception this year for 620 yards.
In three years he hasn’t developed into that #1 receiver.
Could he? Maybe.
But now we are faced with a mostly lost 2025 season and a contract year.
We can replace his numbers with development, coaching, and scheme, plus the draft, and maybe free agency.
Not to be too harsh, but he is not irreplaceable.

Bears dropped from 6 to 10 by beating Packers. I expect them to go OL in 1st round, although Edge can't be ruled out.

Losing to them was all part of the master plan.

Cut Jaire and sign D.J. Reed. Draft a stud WR in round 1.

Trade back into the top of the 2nd and draft the next DeVante or Jordy.

Packers are hosting the draft. They will make a 1st round pick.

Damn that’s being a gracious host right there mofo. But it make sense especially the first time ever.

Hell no. I want in on the optimism. Whatever it takes.

You will need to get green inside….

Cut Jaire and sign D.J. Reed. Draft a stud WR in round 1.

Reed is another little CB (5'9" 190) and 4 months older than Jaire, and will cost $15M a year at least.
Maybe Gute likes him, maybe Saleh puts in a good word, IDK.

I wonder if Jaire's injuries might scare the personnel dept off smaller CBs. Smaller CBs are more likely to get bullied by bigger receivers, and hurt in run support.
To be fair, Jaire has an injury history going back to college, so if he's hurt now is it really that surprising?

Don't know if there's a R1 WR worth taking in the 20's, haven't looked that closely, but I doubt there's a Brian Thomas out there. I get the impression that this draft's WRs are not nearly as good as last year's. I think Gute goes pass rush early anyway, EDGE depth is reportedly good.

Packers currently with 24th pick. Could draft as early as 22nd if Commanders and Vikings lose.

Don’t they have to win?
