Meena Kims talks on NFL Draft, Travis Hunter and “chaotic” NFL teams
ESPN analyst Meena Kims stops seriously by Games to talk on her new partnership with NFL Draft and NFL X AWS with her new draft IQ program.
Seriously
Football world eyes will be on Green Bay this week 2025 NFL Draft Officially starts from Thursday.
The NFL draft has been hosted in Visconsin for the first time after the 1940 NFL draft in Milwauki. This year’s draft is one of the most unpredictable in recent memory. Miami Quarterback Cafar ward The top pick is estimated to be a pick, but overall there is a lot of uncertainty after No. 1.
With the very unknown in the construction of the draft, the USA Today Sports predicted what to expect during the seven-night selection process.
NFL draft predictions
Five quarterback draft will be prepared inside the top 50 pics
The possibility of the Cafar Ward is the first overall pick, with Shedur sanders It is expected to be selected shortly after. Jackson dart It is also estimated to be selected in the first round. In my latest mock draft, I have all three quarterbacs in the first round.
I predict Tyler Shaf And Jalan Milro The draft will be prepared at the top of the second round. Keep an eye on Cleveland Brown And New York Giants To target a quarterback in round 2, especially if both teams pass on a signal collar in the initial stages.
Quarterback is a premium position and we have seen that they have been draft well before they are estimated. In the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, a record-tie six quarterback was drafted.
More than 20 running backs will listen to his name
After devaluation in recent years, the running back position went through a revival after the magnificent season. Sakwon barkle, Deeric henry, Sesame raobinson, Jahmir gibbs And another. I hope that the 2025 draft will have a domino effect.
Running back is one of the deepest position groups in this year’s draft, and many scouts believe that it is the deepest aggressive position group.
Ashon gentyOmarian Hampton, Traven Henderson, Quinshon Judkins and Kaleb Johnson all expect to hear their names within the first two days of the draft. Back running like Dewin Neil, Came Skatebo, Damian Martinez and Dympason can also be selected on the second day. While many running backs are expected to draft on day 3.
In the last five drafts, only more than 20 running backs were selected in 2022.
Defensive line and edge Rasters dominate the draft
In 2024, a total of 44 defensive linemen and edge rosters were drafted. I think this year about 50 defensive linemen and edges will be drafted. It is the strongest position group in this year’s class.
I project that we will see at least 20 defensive linemen and Edge Rasters drafting within the first three rounds. Abdul carterMason Graham, Jalon Walon, Mike Green, Mykel Williams, Kenneth Grant, Deryic Harmon, Walter Nolane, Donovan Aziruku, Shemar Stewart, Tilic Williams and James Pierce Junior are all the first rounds in my most recent mock drafts.
Eight tight loops will be chosen through four rounds
By Tyler Waren And Colston lovelandThis year’s tight end class is strong. This can be the first year at least two tight ends are selected in the first round after the draft of 2019. Tj hawkson And Noah fantasy Both went to round 1.
Warren and Lavland are predicted to be widely selected in the first round. After them, Mason Taylor, Herold Fanin, Eliza Aroyo, Terence Ferguson, Gunnar Helm and Mitchell Evans are likely to be drafted before the end of Round 4.
Twelve tight ends were selected in the 2024 draft, but we can see more than this year.
