As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

he’s talented. Probably out half of his rookie season with a torn labrum.

For those that don’t know…

Jihaad Campbell, a top linebacker prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum after the NFL Scouting Combine, and is currently rehabbing. 

• Previous Injury: He previously left the ReliaQuest Bowl with an upper-body injury, though it's unclear if that was related to the labrum tear. 

Recovery: Labrum surgeries typically entail recovery periods of around 6-to-8 months, which could impact his availability for the start of the season.

I'm becoming more and more convinced we miss on both walker and graham that the draft goes like this

1- titans Cam 

2- browns carter

3- giants Hunter

4- Pats Membou

5- Jax Graham

6- LVR Walker 

7- NYJ Campbell

 

Even if Jax goes Walker, I think NYJ take Graham. Unless someone trades up in the top 7 for Shedeur I don't see us getting either one of those guys

Tyler Warren it is then.

not the worst thing we could do, however history does not look kindly upon top ten TE selections

If both are gone, we're probably going Mykel.  Warren fans will not be happy, but it's a strong possibility.

No chance for Wilson or Barron in that situation?

I like Barron a lot but I don’t see it happening with our FO’s preferences.  Although his ability to flex between outside CB, slot and FS make him like a jacked up Sainristil with a bit of the Witherspoon gene. He could be exactly what we need but no one’s really talking about him for us. 

Think your autocorrect may have changed out Will Johnson — who I also like but his man coverage skills worry me a tad this high in the draft. And injuries.

I would hate Campbell as a top 10 pick in terms of positional value but generally do think he is probably one of the safest picks in the entire draft. In a draft that is pretty sketchy for elite talent, I would eventually be okay with this kind of guy even at 8.

Barron is a good prospect but can you justify it if he ends up basically being a nickel?

That seems like a luxury pick for us. Don't hate the player, hate the positional value at 8.

Now a trade down option? I am all in.
