Sorry Walter, but you are still wrong on the Browns. If they dont trade down a few spots, they will take Carnell Tate with #6. We have a room full of undersized WR’s and dont need another one. Freeling will hopefully be there at #24. If not, then one of the other top linemen will go.
@Barnowl1952 It's become pretty clear that there's no chance that Freeling will be there at #24. He just has too much upside and unlike a lot of these guys (Fano, Mauigoa, Ioane), he projects as a pure LT.
@Osmodiar To Osmodiar and the Champ, yes i agree with you after what the browns have done recently. LT will be the priority at #6 now. And i still dont think they are taking a small WR anytime soon. At least i hope not. ??
Fano has shorter arms, and is open to a position change. I think he falls into the teens at the least, but he's looking more like a guard, and definitely not a LT. 3 is rich.
@Coherent37 Yeah I had him going 5th to the Giants for a while but now I've dropped him to Miami at 11. I think Miami would pick him over even Mauigoa, the local product, and my reasoning is that the Packers value versatile OL's. And while Mauigoa may not be a RT and a G instead, Fano can apparently play all 5 positions. Almost sounds like Elgton Jenkins. Of course, new Miami GM Jon-Eric Sullivan comes from the Packer front office.
As neither Fano nor Mauigoa are LT's, I actually think Monroe Freeling has a good chance to be the first OL chosen.
This draft is giving me 2018 vibes when it comes to the O-linemen. If you project Mauigoa strictly as a guard, he's a clean, plug-n-play bulldozer with All-Pro upside, much like Quenton Nelson in '18, when he was the first O-lineman off the board at 1.6. Freeling is like Kolton Miller, the late-rising LT specimen drafted at 1.15.
I could see the Browns taking Mauigoa at 1.6 as the foundational piece for the O-line rebuild (even if he's just a guard), then Freeling popping off from 1.10 to 1.13.
@Mr. Bitter Sure, they could do that. However, Andrew Berry is an analytics guy. I'm not sure he takes someone that, in your theory, would be plugged into a guard spot at #6 overall. I think they are more likely to take someone that they like at LT, and to me that would be Freeling in this draft among the realistic contenders for the pick. If they think that's way too rich, perhaps a small trade down? Maybe Kansas City just has to have Love, for example, to jump Washington and New Orleans.
I'm not sure if you picked up on Tyler Decker requesting his release. Fano/Freeling/Proctor could be in serious play at 17. They could always move Sewell to LT and let a rookie play RT
@GrantDoc Browns QB next season will be Deshaun Watson. Book it. If he plays decent they'll give him an extension, the logic being we already overpaid you, and no one else wants you.
Christian Gray in the 3rd, eh? Quite the prediction since hes back at ND. For someone that claims to have the most accurate mock drafts every year its pretty wild how you dont even know who declared and who didnt. Maybe stop making stock suggestions and study football a little bit more.
Sorry Walter, but youre off your rocker. Why would the Browns draft an undersized d-lineman who can’t hold his ground with pick 24? The pressing needs are WR AND OT/OG. Maybe a C also. You need to go back and look at what is going on in Cleveland for the past 4 years with this offense. We’ve had nothing but injuries, aging, and 3rd and 4th string linemen. No wonder we cant keep a QB healthy. Not that I’m advocating for Watson, they can throw him in Lake Erie with the owner. But if Shaduer had the same line that Baker had, i believe he'd be successful.
Some predictions have the Browns taking WR Tyson, to join his brother that plays for the Cavs in Cleveland. That would be a disaster taking him at 6 - he's hurt all the time.
I can't comment in hiring and firing grade page... walter, you're fucking idiot... as ravens fan. He's just shitty motivational and CEO HC. When coordinators mess up so gawkbaugh(yes I insulted "greatest ravens HC" and fuck gawkbaugh lovers) blame them for didn't follow his gameplan when his gameplan is shit... gawkbaugh didn't think of anything for counter when Mike tomlin knew lamar jackson since he scouted lamar before draft 2018 which 3-7 for lamar... gawkbaugh trust lamar too much. And gawkbaugh is one who hired worst of all OL coaches in nfl history. Check warhop coach history... he got his own teams in 4th for division... even warhop helped texans got higher overall pick to draft QB CJ... you can research that if true or not... so how i view gawkbaugh as tier? Tier 3 or lower... if not for legendary D in 2008 then flacco will be bust and gawkbaugh will be firing in 2010 or 2011... before disagree with me... did lamar save his ass in 2018? He was about being firing... and why GM didn't firing him yet? Cause owner Steve is one who have power to decide, not GM so now GM EDC(nickname) have power to get new HC or firing since gawkbaugh is gone. When I saw Mike tomlin step down and stoolers hired new HC. I was like ??????????????????????????????
They didn't trust Tomlin! Tomlin is CEO but schemer which he can let his DC know about lamar weakness. So tomlin is gone, stoolers will NEVER sweep ravens AGAIN until lamar injured or leave or minter out of ravens
That's me but that's not Walt. I was his roommate in college. TV was on all day Sunday. Pregame shows through post game shows. At full volume for a good portion of it. His friends were visiting and wanted to play a game of real football before they headed home and he refused to leave the room and miss the games that were on.
Walter is never going to end his tantrum about the Panthers taking Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. Taking a TE is Tepper doing "anything in his power to justify the selection of Bryce Young."
Brother, outside of Tet McMillan look at who Bryce has to throw to. Now look at the Texans roster and get back to me.
Charlie recently reported teams have a 2nd round grade on Carson Beck. Given the perennial desperation for QBs, I'm surprised he is not in your Mock Draft
In looking at what the Saints did in the 2025 draft, there is a common theme among these players: big schools, team captains, lots of production / starts. Raw player with "untapped" potential is not something I would see them going after in the draft based on that.
its kind of a thin quarterback draft. it looks like one quarterback deep, with a lot of pretend type quarterbacks. here is the list.
1 fernando mendoza--this guy looks like the 2nd coming of peyton manning. a total stud with a great accurate arm. great player.
2 dante moore--was exposed vs indiana as a guy not ready for prime time. has the skill set, not a NFL starter yet, his draft stock should have dropped after the terrible game vs indiana, but the desperate jets, jets, jets will take him in round one.
3 ty simpson-nice arm, great athlete who is a very good runner. but not ready for prime time. be lost to indiana 38-3. three points will not cut it. needs another year of college football, but the dope already declared, will go in top 10 picks since the qb draft is so weak.
4 garrett nussmeier- this guy has a nice arm, not strong but is accurate. he is too small, not ready for NFL and injury prone. will be career back-up type.
5 john mateer--very good athlete but is primarily a running type quarterback. cannot make a living in the pocket, so he nfl career not too promising.
6 carson beck--this guy is a mutt, very below average athlete, and throws a lot of picks. whoever drafts this guy will regret the decision and wonder why they drafted him.
7 trinidad chambilss--not ready for prime time, too short at 6' 0". will just fade away in the pros, good college player, but not an nfl quarteback.
8 drew allar--a bust at the college level, so what are the chances he makes it in the NFL? answer, no chance, zero, a waste of a draft pick.
9 cade klubnik--a small guy, very average type player, career back-up at best.
