Just watched that video of Byron Jerideau. Looks like a great late round sleeper. His pad level is pretty bad. He seems to stand almost straight up after the snap, but that's the sort of technique thing that should be correctable. He certainly looks big and powerful enough. His vision seems really good. His hustle seems more than sufficient. Looks like the kind of guy that should be a 3rd or 4th round pick. If he's available in the 5th or 6th I say hell yea, even if we did spend our 1st or 2nd on a DT. I think you just gave me my new favorite late round crush.

Glad I could let some folks know that Jerideau is a player. What is so crazy about Jerideau is that no draft sites have him as a draftable player. Not even listed on CBS' giant list of DT's, nothing on walterfootball, it makes no sense to have him as not draftable in favor of guys who are taller like TJ Barnes who gets manhandled at the point of attack. I guess they see the taller guys as mammoths and that makes them better. But if they paid attention to what goes on in the trenches they would see that Barnes, Geathers, and to a lesser extent Montori Hughes allow guys to get under them and push them around.

I think that so many people called Hopkins underrated that he is now overrated. A little while ago people realized that he'd be fantastic value in the second round, but that doesn't mean he's good value in the top half of the first. His true ranking is probably the mid-twenties, and I'd hate to see us draft him without trading back first.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
