2025 Draft Media Stuff

[Dantés]

Here's a thread for anything that you might notice or want to highlight from the media types (Brugler, Zierlein, Jeremiah, PFF, etc.).

Jeremiah dropped his first Top 50 for the 2025 draft.

I know very little about this class, but here's what I notice positionally about his top players at this point:

EDGE: 9 (1, 6, 16, 20, 23, 27, 28, 40, 46)
DT: 7 (4, 18, 22, 26, 39, 42, 50)
WR: 5 (2, 15, 24, 25, 32)
OT: 5 (8, 19, 30, 38, 47)
CB: 5 (9, 12, 43, 44, 45)
TE: 4 (5, 7, 35, 49)
IOL: 4 (14, 17, 31, 48)
RB: 4 (3, 29, 34, 36)
QB: 3 (10, 11, 41)
LB: 2 (13, 37)
SAF: 2 (21, 33)

Jeremiah clearly sees the strength of this class as being the defensive line. That might impact GB's decision regarding Slaton and/or paying for a veteran replacement.

If Jeremiah is correct that the top of this draft is weakest at safety, linebacker, quarterback, and running back, I think that plays nicely into the Packers' hands. Other than signing a veteran linebacker, I don't think they have a real need at any of those positions.

The trenches on defensive side are loaded, and truthfully it’s quite deep at edge too for me compared to recent drafts.

The top tier OL isn’t there but I really love that mid range 3rd-6th level class. A lot of high floor consistent guys that thanks to Covid years have a lot of proven experience.

Another thing I want to post here for the sake of being able to look back on it later is the PFF big board. I don't believe they archive various versions like DJ does, so I want to be able to look back and see how much it changes.

1. T. Hunter, CB, COL
2. A. Carter, ED, PSU
3. T. McMillan, WR, AZ
4. M. Graham, DT, UM
5. A. Jeanty, RB, BSU

7. M. Starks, S, UGA
8. W. Campbell, OT, LSU
9. J. Pearce, ED, TEN
10. L. Burden, WR, MIZZ
11. M. Green, ED, MAR
12. J. Simmons, OT, OSU

47. O. Norman-Lott, DT, TEN
48. C. Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
49. X. Restrepo, WR, MIA

There are 16 guys in their list that Jeremiah didn't rank in his:

Nolsen, Scourton, T. Williams, Knight, Amos, Revel, Ayomanor, Bech, L. Jackson, Umanmielen, Tuimoloau, Watts, Skattebo, Norman-Lott, Restrepo, Porter

It will be interesting to see who moves more throughout the process.

I pulled the entire consensus board a week back or so. I’ll paste it here tomorrow, not on computer but phone presently.
