2025 Draft thread

Gotta say the NFL pundits do a great job of holding your interest even though these late round picks have such little probability of sticking.

The NBA really needs to take note of how passionate these guys are, and the mix of old school scouts, stat geeks, former players…they all do their homework.


The NFL's plan for dealing with the late rounds is to largely ignore the late rounds in favor to narratives and stories, but I don't see how the NBA could do the same thing, because of how top heavy their drafts are.
 
For LG:


Round 4, Pick 137: Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State​

  • Ayrton Ostly, USA TODAY Sports: A
New England trades up to secure the Farmer, a powerful interior presence to work in alongside free agent signee Milton Williams. The Florida State product can be inconsistent at times but packs a powerful punch against the run. He should be a full-time starter within his rookie contract.
 

Round 5, Pick 146: Bradyn Swinson, Edge, LSU​

New England hits defensive line again in Round 6 with Swinson. The LSU product has an impressive wingspan for his height and athleticism to be a force in pass rush but he needs to improve in setting the edge in run defense. He can grow into a contributor for the Patriots' improving defense.
 

Round 6, Pick 182: Andres Borregales, K, Miami​

Round 6 isn't too early for a kicker so the Patriots don't get penalized for that in these grades. Borregales isn't a power kicker but is instead one of the most accurate in the class with an incredibly repeatable and reliable kicking motion. That'll come in handy in outdoor, mixed conditions in New England.

I like that they traded up for him there, shows they were not willing to lose out on him.

We should be able to get a good look at the team's defensive coaching in action with today's picks, so we've got ourselves a nice season-long narrative to follow.
 
That's not going to be worse than most draft profiles. I just didn't know if you had something like "explosive/a rock against the run/really smart/something else" or just like him as a general choice, so thanks.
Lol sorry Deus
