Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
I am a huge proponent of trading back from #9. I was able to pick up #s 27, 59 and 91 here plus a 2nd in 2026 from Baltimore.
I was able to address just about every position of need and 6 players in the top 100 who could make immediate impacts. 27. Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss 40. Mike Green EDGE Marshall 59. TreVeyon Henderson RB Ohio State 71. Emery Jones OT LSU 91. Jalen Royals WR Utah State 93. Dorian Strong CB Virginia Tech 111. Jaylen Reed S Penn State 130. Antwaun Powell-Ryland EDGE Virginia Tech 186. Jamon Dumas-Johnson LB Kentucky 250. Patrick Jenkins DT Tulane 254. Trevor Etienne RB Georgia |

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
The question is would Baltimore ever be willing to consider something like that. Given this year's choices and what they need I tend to doubt it. That's the only drawback to some of these draft scenario generators. It would be cool if AI could be built in to consider needs of potential trade partners. That would make it far more realistic. I can see someone doing that soon.

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
Oh, I can definitely see picking up those picks as worthwhile for us. I was just thinking out loud in general. What if Baltimore, or any other team, valued those lower picks more than our picks, as well. These draft apps basically work off of the trade table giving equivalent total trade values, which is fine. But I was simply suggesting it would be far more realistic if an app was developed using AI which would consider probabilities of potential trade partners in accepting a trade offer based upon their needs. You know, something you could as a user switch on or off. Would that be pretty cool? That may be something that neuguy, as a software developer, could look into. That could be right up his alley.
