Way, way too early look at 2025 draft

[Oviedo]

I think we can all agree that for the second year in a row we had a very solid draft. The 2024 draft saw us add talent to the offensive line with three picks out of the first five. Between free agency and the draft we rebuilt the ILB position.

What's still a concern. IMO the biggest concern is the Defensive Line. We may need to go into the 2025 draft needing two defensive linemen early. Fingers-crossed that Cam has a healthy season and Larry O also stays on the field. Behind them we have lots of "maybes." I do like the Logan Lee pick, but wish we would have added another D-lineman earlier in draft, but only so many picks.

my thought is yes, its way too early..

but I do think we go Defense early and often in 2025.

Wait until the season starts! Then we can look at the needs. Ahem, QUARTERBACK.

This.

Unless the QBs suck. Then we have to seriously consider drafting a QB.

But there almost aren't any positions left on the offense without a young 1st or 2nd round pick

I'm sure NJ's somewhere online complaining about all the early draft picks on offense.

Yes, although this is a year away.

If Russ plays well then we look at QB first or second day depending on value. If Fields takes charge and plays well then maybe a second or third day backup QB. If neither plays well then all-in on QB, finding the best you can in either the draft or FA.

I can't see any scenario where we go OT for three straight drafts.

Far more urgent need on the Defensive Line. Maybe at WR if Pickens doesn't prove to be the star we are all hoping. Then there is always the CB everyone wants.

I think some have Troy F as a G because he's shorter than most tackles (despite having very long arms).

I think these people are wrong...or at least I think we'll play him at T.
