Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025

I have a simple wish list:

Don't trade up in the 1st round, at least not enough to cost a future 1st round pick (unless it is only one future 1st rounder and its for a generational QB, which I don't see this year).

Don't draft a TE in the 1st round, the transition from college to pros at TE is too unpredictable, too few great TEs come from the 1st round, too many come from the middle rounds, its NEVER smart to use a 1st round pick on a TE.

Don't draft a RB in the 1st round, their careers are short and unpredictable, and with our oline and passing games issues even a great RB would struggle. Plus so many great RBs come from round 2-4. And we already have so much invested in the position with Kamara's foolish contract. This isn't a league where you have a RB $12 million to split carries and invest a high 1st round pick in another to split carries.

Obviously there are other niche stupid things we could do like trade our 1st round pick for CMC or draft a punter in the 1st, but basically I am not a scout and if they make a good faith effort to pick a QB, WR, OT, DL, LB, or CB who was expected to be drafted in the 1st round and attended a university that isn't known for its quaint liberal arts program I am ok with it.

UPDATE: Also please don't draft a 1st round pick with a troubling injury history in college.
