2025 Draft Chatter Thread

This one made me chuckle.

So I guess this is the first time for the organization to build a team versus talent collection?

Not sure they’d bring Cooper back after why they let him go. Not sure about Allen.

They arent bringing anybody in like that. You have to listen to what Stephen is telling you. His belief is that a #2 is on the roster. He is correct but the problem is that its a different # 2 than he is thinking about.

They are always stubborn to their ideas that they put out in the media. Just like RB last season this will prove to be just as much of a problem.

The frustrating part is they have already been through this, which is what led to the Amari Cooper trade to begin with. Stubborn becomes stupid real quick.

Yes, that's an easy answer. So could have 30 backs in this draft though to be fair.

Reminds me of Braelen Allen from last years draft.

notwithstanding all the hupla about Sanders being drafted by the Cowboys, can he help the team? I think perhaps he can but it will have to be as someone who will be grooming for a full start real soon. I can’t quite see how that is going to play out.

Huh?

I’m a Mafah fan but chances are he’s not trucking anyone in the NFL and I’m a bit concerned about his overall speed. He’s definitely going to be a weapon down inside the 20 and 3rd and shorts. Now is he an every down back…no, but paired with Blue it can be an interesting option.
But it looks like the brain trust has finally caught on to the multi-back sets the NFL has been using for the last decade.

Jameson Williams, although I'd be pretty surprised.

Just sign Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper who can both operate as relatively high floor/low ceiling WR2's and hope one of these young jokers develop.

Why would Detroit trade Williams?

 

[Rev]

Nolan? is he a NT?

Could he be talking about Grant?

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Why would Detroit trade Williams?

Contract year and supposedly they can't afford to also hand him a big contract. I don't buy it.

 

[Bipo]

Could he be talking about Grant?

Has to be. If this is true, they must not think much of the poet.

Yeah I don't think he will truck people like he did in college. Those are some of his most fun highlights but mostly a dude you want to get downhill and fall forward for the extra yard. He might truck a DB but most NFL LBers and Dlineman are too physical for that.

For his awful forty time he does seem to have some lateral agility. At least for a 230 pound dude he has some agility. I doubt he has the speed to be running much stretch or outside stuff. But our OC thinks he can do a lot of what James Connor does and I could see that.

Blue is the guy that I think can actually do everything. But you don't want to pound a guy like that into the ground. He can catch the corner and be gone. I actually think he works well up the gut. Has some decent break tackle for a little guy. But he works well in tight spaces. He has great change of direction and break away speed. He also looks like a receiver catching the ball.

With Booker, Beebe and Smith you have to think the biggest part of our running game is going to be between the tackles. And Mafah looks like a good fit for that.

Huh?

I think somebody on Facebook played a joke on him. Golly gosh darn kids these days.
