DRAFT 2025 LIVE THREAD

I think Shough could turn into a great NFL player, even though I have no idea why we took him in the second round. We almost certainly would’ve had other chances to get him. Maybe the upside was just too much for us to pass on. Either way, I believe he’s going to make waves. I think Dart will as well. I like Milroe too, though I think Shough and Dart will end up being better. As for Sanders, I get why we passed. There just isn't much on film that screams NFL quarterback. Most of his throws were short, quick passes—nothing that shows real anticipation or high-level traits. Nothing about him jumps off the screen to me.

Maybe not based on what other QBs were taken after. We'll find out soon enough why Shedeur is still sliding down the draft board.

I posted the Shough highlights in his own thread. His game vs Clemson was impressive. I think I read somewhere he runs a 4.43, not bad for a dude who's 6'5" 223lbs. He seems to be able to read and process quickly. I never heard of him until yesterday. Not that surprising in light of his unfortunate almost yearly bone breakage injury history. He had a solid season at Louisville, however. Are there not quality QBs from Louisville in the NFL right now? I guess we'll see if we stole him or not.

"Almost certainly" doesn't cut it if he was the one they had absolutely wanted.
