  19.  &lt;p&gt;Shedeur Sanders remains available as the NFL Draft heads to the fourth round, and the final day&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="UQpIhd"&gt;The wait continues for Shedeur Sanders.&lt;/p&gt;
  20. &lt;p id="t8pvVW"&gt;Night two of the 2025 NFL Draft has come to a close, with another 70 prospects having realized their professional football dreams. But Sanders continues to wonder where his NFL career will begin, as several quarterbacks came off the board, and the Colorado prospect remains on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="lg8NPw"&gt;And atop our list of the best available prospects.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="lhWltK"&gt;Some other fascinating players remain on the board, beyond Sanders. Purdue offensive guard Marcus Mbow began the 2025 NFL Draft as the 32nd-ranked player on JP Acosta’s board, and remains an option for teams looking for a presence along the interior of their offensive lines. Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is a physical wide receiver who, in addition to what he can do in the passing game, is also a feisty blocker in the run game who can play a role in offensive schemes that task their WRs in getting involved in the run game. &lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="D3At0L"&gt;Utah State Jalen Royals is a fascinating player as well, one that can be used in a Deebo Samuel-type role at the next level.&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="YIUX7Y"&gt;As the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft looms, here are our best available players. &lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p id="FyS9um"&gt;Note: “Rank” refers to their ranking on this list, whereas “SBN Rank” refers to their rank in JP Acosta’s Top 100 prior to the draft.&lt;/p&gt;

  46.  &lt;p&gt;Here’s every matchup and the dates and times for each round of the 2025 NHL Playoffs. We’ll provide live updates with results every night.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="xWsc8T"&gt;The 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are poised to be legendary. Parity was the name of the game in the 2024-25 season with both the east and west boasting stellar teams up and down the standings. This is not a season where there’s a single, clear-cut favorite in each conference, but rather four or even five teams on each side of the bracket that you can believe has what it takes to go all the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  47. &lt;p id="e5T1OF"&gt;Unquestionably the most fascinating series in the first round comes out of the west with the Dallas Stars facing the Colorado Avalanche. It’s a matchup rich in top-flight individual performances, but also high in emotion as Mikko Rantanen faces his former team. Meanwhile in the east there will be a ton of focus on Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, but also the three Canadian teams who made the playoffs with Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal all trying to move on.&lt;/p&gt;
  48. &lt;p id="DmK1nI"&gt;The Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes have the best &lt;a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nhl?tab=stanley-cup"&gt;Stanley Cup title odds&lt;/a&gt; at FanDuel Sportsbook as the puck drops on the postseason tournament. The Hurricanes are favorites just ahead of the Florida Panthers to come out of the Eastern Conference. The Avalanche are favorites just ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights to come out of the Western Conference.&lt;/p&gt;
  49. &lt;p id="nrRW1f"&gt;Here are the schedules, TV information, scores, and more for the opening round of the &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl-playoffs"&gt;Stanley Cup&lt;/a&gt; Playoffs. All times listed are Eastern. (*) means if necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

  109.  
  110.  &lt;p&gt;The Bears and Panthers pulled off a blockbuster trade in 2023. Now the book is closed on Chicago’s haul.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="DZXseY"&gt;Barring something unexpected, the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; will close the book on one of the big trades in recent memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;p id="XsyBNs"&gt;In the buildup to the 2023 NFL Draft, the &lt;a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/"&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/"&gt;Carolina Panthers&lt;/a&gt; executed a trade involving the first-overall selection, one that opened the door for both teams to select a quarterback in the No. 1 spot. Carolina was able to do that during the 2023 NFL Draft and as a result of the trade the Bears were able to do the same a year later.&lt;/p&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="2QsX1J"&gt;Now that the circle has been closed, let’s run through the complete details of the trade between these two teams from 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;h2 id="r4jNfB"&gt;What were the terms of the Bears-Panthers trade in 2023?&lt;/h2&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="Zl1qXC"&gt;The 2022 Bears finished the regular season with a 3-14 record, which gave them the rights to the first-overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="SV52wr"&gt;But with Justin Fields entrenched as the team’s starting quarterback, speculation began almost immediately that the Bears might trade out of the first-overall selection, given the number of teams that needed to address the quarterback position. &lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;p id="Y6K034"&gt;In March of 2023, the Bears made the speculation a reality. Chicago swung a deal with the Panthers, one that allowed Carolina to come up to No. 1, and saw the Bears slide back to No. 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="pv4YxW"&gt;Here are the full terms of that deal, from when it was announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  118. &lt;p id="0GI1Fv"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bears receive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="4jyJhG"&gt;2023 first-round pick (No. 9 overall)&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="FqUocB"&gt;2023 second-round pick (No. 61 overall)&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;p id="Onj3gg"&gt;2024 first-round pick&lt;/p&gt;
  122. &lt;p id="rTFFrg"&gt;2025 second-round pick&lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p id="vgPkei"&gt;WR D.J. Moore&lt;/p&gt;
  124. &lt;p id="mcPCQt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Panthers receive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  125. &lt;p id="Y6DzNi"&gt;2023 first-round pick (No. 1 overall)&lt;/p&gt;
  126. &lt;h2 id="XUlkFV"&gt;What did the Panthers turn the trade into?&lt;/h2&gt;
  127. &lt;p id="CdRzUa"&gt;This is the easy part.&lt;/p&gt;
  128. &lt;p id="Xtmvye"&gt;Carolina had their choice of quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft and selected Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young out of Alabama.&lt;/p&gt;
  129. &lt;p id="eWhEqU"&gt;While Young’s rookie season saw mixed returns, and Young was even benched early during the 2024 season, the Alabama product closed out the 2024 season on a high note, and there are expectations that his second season under Dave Canales could see him grow into the franchise quarterback the Panthers were hoping he could become.&lt;/p&gt;
  130. &lt;p id="qOqbqM"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Panthers trade haul&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  131. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li id="Kti7tf"&gt;QB Bryce Young (No. 1 pick in 2023)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
  132. &lt;h2 id="dj37Td"&gt;What did the Bears turn the trade into?&lt;/h2&gt;
  133. &lt;p id="Okfpep"&gt;As noted above, Chicago received wide receiver D.J. Moore as part of the deal. Moore caught 96 passes for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns during his first season in Chicago and caught another 98 passes for 966 yards and six touchdowns last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  134. &lt;p id="UNBPq3"&gt;The second-round pick the team acquired in the 2023 draft? Chicago packaged that along with a fifth-round pick in a trade with the &lt;a href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/"&gt;Jacksonville Jaguars&lt;/a&gt;, moving up five spots in the second round to No. 56 to draft cornerback Tyrique Stevenson out of Miami. Stevenson has started 30 games for Chicago over his two seasons, and snared four interceptions during his rookie campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
  135. &lt;p id="ESFjOV"&gt;As for the 2024 first-round pick the Bears received as part of this deal? Here is where things get fascinating. Between their own first-round pick, and the rights to Carolina’s, Chicago began the 2023 season holding two picks in the first round, but with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback.&lt;/p&gt;
  136. &lt;p id="wlQAK5"&gt;While the hope was Fields would demonstrate enough for the Bears to forge ahead with him as their starting quarterback, allowing them to use the draft capital to continue to build around him, that did not come to fruition. Fields started all 13 games he played, completing 61.4% of his passes for 2,562 yards along with 16 TDs, nine interceptions, and an 86.3 passer rating. But it was not enough to convince the brass in Chicago that the job was his, and in March of 2024, the team traded him to the &lt;a href="https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/"&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  137. &lt;p id="4snTNw"&gt;However, they also owned the rights to the first-overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  138. &lt;p id="bNwqxg"&gt;Thanks to the Panthers.&lt;/p&gt;
  139. &lt;p id="VNZVq4"&gt;Carolina’s 2-15 record was the worst in the league, which gave the Bears the No. 1 selection. Chicago’s own pick in the first round came at No. 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  140. &lt;p id="yP2Aa1"&gt;What did the Bears do with that first-round pick from Carolina? They drafted quarterback Caleb Williams out of USC. &lt;/p&gt;
  141. &lt;p id="T7mPaT"&gt;However, there is one pick outstanding from this trade, and that is the 2025 second-round pick the Panthers sent to Chicago as part of the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  142. &lt;p id="DNIpPj"&gt;That pick is No. 39 overall, and the Bears made that pick on Friday night. Chicago selected Luther Burden III, a wide receiver out of Missouri. &lt;/p&gt;
  143. &lt;p id="aA2cEe"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bears trade haul&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  144. &lt;ul&gt;
  145. &lt;li id="XYQbzy"&gt;RT Darnell Wright, No. 10 pick in 2023&lt;/li&gt;
  146. &lt;li id="TlZwjf"&gt;CB Tyrique Stevenson, No. 61 pick in 2023&lt;/li&gt;
  147. &lt;li id="7adDeF"&gt;QB Caleb Williams, No. 1 pick in 2024&lt;/li&gt;
  148. &lt;li id="DqLaWE"&gt;WR Luther Burden III, No. 39 pick in 2025&lt;/li&gt;
  149. &lt;li id="jwLXkO"&gt;WR D.J. Moore&lt;/li&gt;
  150. &lt;/ul&gt;
  151. &lt;p id="QfqW46"&gt;Chicago also acquired the pick that became punter Tory Taylor in moving from No. 10 to No. 9 in a trade down with the Eagles.&lt;/p&gt;

  169.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  170.  
  171.  &lt;p&gt;Follow along for every single selection in the 2025 NFL Draft&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="kY94FG"&gt;The stage is set for the 2025 NFL Draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  172. &lt;p id="RFx5pO"&gt;Starting on Thursday night, the entire incoming class of rookies will begin to learn where they will start their professional football journeys, and we here at &lt;em&gt;SB Nation &lt;/em&gt;will follow along from Cam Ward — expected to be the first player drafted by the Tennessee Titans — all the way to “Mr. Irrelevant” on Saturday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p id="1yRRDT"&gt;While Ward is expected to come off the board first to the Titans, what happens after that remains a mystery. The Cleveland Browns seem to be locking in on Travis Hunter Jr. with the No. 2 pick, as the Heisman Trophy winner can contribute on both sides of the football as both a wide receiver and a cornerback. With the No. 3 selection, there is every expectation that the New York Giants will bolster their pass rush with Abdul Carter from Penn State. &lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p id="Sr2jQp"&gt;As for the New England Patriots at No. 4, there continue to be rumors of LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell in that spot, as New England hopes to protect second-year quarterback Drake Maye.&lt;/p&gt;
  175. &lt;p id="P4ylww"&gt;Then the fun really begins with the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 5.&lt;/p&gt;
  176. &lt;p id="ZVLkPj"&gt;When it comes to positions to watch, you might want to start with pass rusher. Beyond Carter several EDGE defenders will likely come off the board on Thursday night, including the Georgia tandem of Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams, Shemar Steward and Nic Scourton from Texas A&amp;amp;M, Mike Green from Marshall, James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee, and Donovan Ezeiruaku from Boston College. &lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;p id="azzLcu"&gt;Wide receiver is another fascinating position, and one to watch deeper into the draft. Arizona’s Tetairo McMillian is likely the first WR off the board, with Matthew Golden from Texas and Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka potential first-round picks. Day Two might see several receivers coming off the board, as that position group has lots of solid players in that range of the draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  178. &lt;p id="z52GLc"&gt;Running back might just be the most fascinating position to watch. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty leads the way, but Omarion Hampton from North Carolina could join him in the first round. The second round could see both TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins from Ohio State come off the board, as well as Kaleb Johnson from Iowa. Then there is Cameron Skattebo, who powered Arizona State to a spot in the College Football Playoff.&lt;/p&gt;
  179. &lt;p id="0vfs6g"&gt;Regardless of how the board falls, we will have every pick for you here throughout the entire 2025 NFL Draft. &lt;/p&gt;

  201.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  202.  
  203.  &lt;p&gt;How does your team grade out today?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="nxWqKD"&gt;The first round of the NFL Draft gets all the fanfare, but it’s on Day 2 where elite rosters get built. In the 2025 class, the strength of the group is on the second day, where we may see a run on the receiver class and linemen group. The most prominent name left on the board is Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, whose fall out of Round 1 was all the rage on social media. However, there are two prospects still left in the green room after Thursday: Michigan CB Will Johnson and Alabama QB Jalen Milroe. Both come with flaws, but could hear their name get called early on Day 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  204. &lt;p id="60GMKA"&gt;I’m back to grade the picks, so let’s get started!&lt;/p&gt;
  205. &lt;h3 id="acm1s2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;33. Cleveland Browns: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  206. &lt;p id="WR5B6r"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  207. &lt;p id="rByWRp"&gt;Love this pick by the Browns. With LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s future in jeopardy, Schwesinger can step in as a rangy and athletic linebacker who gives them a major defender in the middle of the field. I worry a bit about his play strength, but behind Mason Graham this should be really fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  208. &lt;h3 id="nWaKLI"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;34. Houston Texans: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  209. &lt;p id="PMBWfO"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  210. &lt;p id="eV6L8z"&gt;I would’ve loved for this to be an offensive linemen or Luther Burden III, but Higgins is a big fast and tall receiver who plays similar to his new teammate Nico Collins. He has to be better coming back to the ball and separating downfield, but the Texans needed receiving help with their skill position room ravaged and Higgins fills that need.&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;h3 id="Rbcocg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;35. TRADE: Seattle Seahawks (via Tennessee Titans): Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  212. &lt;p id="UZwUCb"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p id="ZjlUPT"&gt;This feels like a perfect fit for the Seahawks. Mike Macdonald has experienced with jumbo jet safeties, and Emmanwori has a case for the best athlete in the entire draft. I wish he would play a little bigger closer to the line of scrimmage, but he can be an impactful back end safety going across the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  214. &lt;h3 id="ktCJq6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;36. Cleveland Browns: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  215. &lt;p id="vDJr67"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  216. &lt;p id="C3xKeW"&gt;Judkins before teammate TreVeyon Henderson is really interesting man. Judkins is a bruising back who plays behind his pads and can be an effective pass protector, but I worry about his vision and would get caught from behind too often for someone who ran a 4.4. I’m very curious about this pick.&lt;/p&gt;
  217. &lt;h3 id="MKGPF0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;37. TRADE: Miami Dolphins (via Las Vegas Raiders): Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  218. &lt;p id="89Wcop"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  219. &lt;p id="U2PiUf"&gt;I think the Dolphins gave up a lot to move up here, but Savaiinaea could be considered one of the best guards left on the board. He’s got long arms, moves really well in a phone booth and has the power to finish blocks. The Dolphins need some aggression up front, and Savaiinaea fits that bill.&lt;/p&gt;
  220. &lt;h3 id="TBtVYL"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;38. New England Patriots: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  221. &lt;p id="umCnOq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  222. &lt;p id="VEdul4"&gt;Although I would’ve probably liked for them to address their receiver room, it seems like the receivers are falling. Henderson is a ball of lightning at the RB spot, who can be a major factor on third downs as a receiver and pass protector. If the Pats can get him downhill, they should be a much more explosive team on the ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  223. &lt;h3 id="dnC55U"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;39. Chicago Bears: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  224. &lt;p id="RJkdXM"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  225. &lt;p id="cTNap9"&gt;This RULES. I thought Burden was a borderline first round prospect, someone who could bring a lot of juice to an offense with the ball in his hands. Although he’s a bit more of a slot receiver, he won’t have to play outside with Rome Odunze and DJ Moore on the team. Get QB Caleb Williams all the tools he needs, and let him cook.&lt;/p&gt;
  226. &lt;h3 id="jDupGy"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;40. New Orleans Saints: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  227. &lt;p id="WLrYSu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  228. &lt;p id="ZQfYVT"&gt;Shedeur Sanders must’ve flunked those interviews, man. Shough is a strong thrower who has no shyness attacking downfield, but he falls apart under pressure and will be 26 years old this upcoming September. Sanders would’ve made more sense here.&lt;/p&gt;
  229. &lt;h3 id="6jj4z4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;41. TRADE: Buffalo Bills (via Chicago Bears): TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  230. &lt;p id="0YySIm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  231. &lt;p id="pmcQXF"&gt;The Bills needed defensive tackle help, but I feel like TJ Sanders is a copy of guys they already have on the roster. Sanders wins with quickness on the interior as a pass rusher, but isn’t really a run defender. The Bills don’t really have a run defender up the spine of their defense, but Sanders should help their pass rush.&lt;/p&gt;
  232. &lt;h3 id="zD12qo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;42. New York Jets: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  233. &lt;p id="R4KjhT"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  234. &lt;p id="6D7Qq2"&gt;I like this value for the Jets, adding a really solid pass catcher in Taylor. I worry a little bit about his blocking on the edge, but he’s going to add smoothness in the short to intermediate areas for the Jets, and a little bit of upside after the catch.&lt;/p&gt;
  235. &lt;h3 id="NQSQ8T"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;43. San Francisco 49ers: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  236. &lt;p id="Jv4QEA"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  237. &lt;p id="uAPpV0"&gt;I know that the pass rush upside is limited, but this is a perfect pick for the Niners’ biggest issues. Collins is one of the best run defenders in the class, a force at moving people in a one or two gap defense. He’s going to immediately help the Niners boost their run defense that got gashed last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;h3 id="zm927T"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;44. Dallas Cowboys: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  239. &lt;p id="AyuPxZ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  240. &lt;p id="KMXvX1"&gt;I was always a massive fan of Ezeiruaku, a bendy and twitchy edge defender who has the length to be an even better run defender. Dallas’ pass rush is still a question mark with Demarcus Lawrence in Seattle and Marshawn Kneeland coming off a knee injury, so grabbing Ezeiruaku here is going to give the Cowboys two speedy pass rushers off the edge.&lt;/p&gt;
  241. &lt;h3 id="NXYQ20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;45. Indianapolis Colts: JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  242. &lt;p id="ukrBbH"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  243. &lt;p id="oLlwQ8"&gt;This is an interesting one. Tuimoloau is a quality edge defender who can win with power and knows his pass rush plan. He’s a little athletically limited, but he’s got good instincts and is a disciplined defender. He’ll help raise the floor of the Colts’ defense.&lt;/p&gt;
  244. &lt;h3 id="UIzXgd"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;46. Los Angeles Rams: Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  245. &lt;p id="Gb7au0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  246. &lt;p id="t1JAXU"&gt;I mean, Ferguson is really similar to Tyler Higbee...but Higbee is already on the roster. I feel like Ferguson could’ve been there a little later in the draft, but he’s a long and tall tight end who is a safe underneath option. I just wonder if they wanted to address the speed in their offense in a better way.&lt;/p&gt;
  247. &lt;h3 id="p0mjch"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;47. Arizona Cardinals: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  248. &lt;p id="0yfsci"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  249. &lt;p id="8TfUZM"&gt;If Johnson’s knee checks out, this has the potential to be a steal for the Cardinals. Johnson’s speed is good enough at cornerback, but his reactive quickness and eyes in off coverage are really good. This is a perfect fit for the Cardinals, and help elevate their defense in a big way.&lt;/p&gt;
  250. &lt;h3 id="S9Fiop"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;48. TRADE: Houston Texans (via Las Vegas Raiders): Aireontae Ersery, OL, Minnesota&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  251. &lt;p id="Og4vmm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  252. &lt;p id="qJlyNi"&gt;Ersery is a long and athletic offensive line prospect who could play guard or tackle in Houston. I thought he would go higher than this, but 48 feels about right for him. Houston needs an infusion of talent in that room, and despite some bend issues I think Ersery’s movement skills should help a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  253. &lt;h3 id="ZnRjOO"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;49. Cincinnati Bengals: Demetrius Knight Jr, LB, South Carolina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  254. &lt;p id="gTMh3f"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  255. &lt;p id="swRtim"&gt;This feels kinda high for the Bengals, but they clearly had a need to stop the run and Knight does that among the best in the class. He’s fast running downhill and is a missile as a spy and blitzer. I worry about his reaction time in coverage, but with Logan Wilson next to him I can see the vision.&lt;/p&gt;
  256. &lt;h3 id="KkKv3o"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;50. Seattle Seahawks: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  257. &lt;p id="gU8WOU"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  258. &lt;p id="MHjXFm"&gt;Arroyo was 77th on my board, so this might be bit of a reach, but the Seahawks need some help in their receiving room desperately. I worry about the injuries and just not being a very good run blocker, but there might not be a faster tight end in this class and he’ll help create downfield explosives.&lt;/p&gt;
  259. &lt;h3 id="Tldn6a"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;51. TRADE: Carolina Panthers (via Denver Broncos): Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&amp;amp;M&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  260. &lt;p id="7VvBuE"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  261. &lt;p id="QIDjiD"&gt;I had Scourton as my 40th player, so the Panthers getting him at 51 is really good business. If the Panthers can keep him around the weight he was while he was at Purdue, they could get a player who is a blur off the edge with power and heavy hands. He also can defend the run really well, but has to work on finishing plays.&lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;h3 id="suuZ05"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;52. Tennessee Titans: Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  263. &lt;p id="ZWyewd"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  264. &lt;p id="z2iGxC"&gt;This is one of my favorite players in this draft class, a high ceiling player who has the athleticism to win off the edge and is a better run defender than a former off-ball LB would have. The Titans need some juice with Harold Landry off the team, and Oladejo does that in spades. Love this pick.&lt;/p&gt;
  265. &lt;h3 id="vqbAZZ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  266. &lt;p id="burBvn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  267. &lt;p id="obaT30"&gt;Morrison is a very talented player, but coming off a hip injury and already being sorta stiff before that, I wonder why he was the pick over guys like Trey Amos or Azareye’h Thomas at this point. If the Bucs can get 2023 Morrison before his injury, this could be fun. But it’s a high risk coming off a hip injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  268. &lt;h3 id="bNW6H1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;54. Green Bay Packers: Anthony Belton, OL, NC State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  269. &lt;p id="M1beFa"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: D+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;p id="TctO8z"&gt;The first player that wasn’t on my top 100 to be picked, I’m stunned Belton goes this early. I think he’s more of a gap scheme lineman who is going to be a guard. I really question this pick for the Packers with a pressing need in the secondary still.&lt;/p&gt;
  271. &lt;h3 id="uQkg03"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;55. Los Angeles Chargers: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  272. &lt;p id="6PaTnE"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;p id="a7AQuf"&gt;I had Harris at 57, so 55 here is good value for the Chargers. Harris is a legit outside receiver who has a lot more wiggle than his larger size would denote. He can win after the catch, but his role is going to be on the outside and winning downfield. Love this for the Chargers.&lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;h3 id="pi86Ub"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;56. Chicago Bears: Ozzy Trapailo, OT, Boston College&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  275. &lt;p id="y8dyPq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  276. &lt;p id="jCBhOz"&gt;I had Trapailo at 98 on my final big board, but at 56 this feels like a massive stretch. Trapailo is a big dude who wants to finish blocks in the run game, but some stiffness is going to limit his ceiling. &lt;/p&gt;
  277. &lt;h3 id="DhHOzJ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;57. TRADE: Detroit Lions (via Denver Broncos): Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  278. &lt;p id="LLANoc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  279. &lt;p id="VgDHpq"&gt;This is SUCH a Lions pick. Ratledge has shorter arms and is coming off an ankle injury, but he has a nasty demeanor and the power to affect the run game. He’s also a perfect fit for the culture in Detroit, and is a guy Dan Campbell probably loves.&lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;h3 id="SvSS1h"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;58. Las Vegas Raiders: Jack Bech, WR, TCU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  281. &lt;p id="lISFiT"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  282. &lt;p id="s5cpE1"&gt;Bech was at 64 on my final big board so it’s a bit of a reach, but he’s such a perfect scheme fit for the Raiders that it makes too much sense. Bech is a rugged blocker and is so good after the catch, where Chip Kelly can use him on the inside as a power slot. The Raiders are going to be hard to tackle in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  283. &lt;h3 id="5xYET4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;59. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  284. &lt;p id="1C5lgN"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B- on the field, F off the field&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  285. &lt;p id="t00qAD"&gt;It’s hard to ignore what Green did off the field, with a sexual assault case that was the biggest reason he fell all the way to 59. For John Harbaugh, who after the Ray Rice case said the Ravens have “zero tolerance” for cases like Green’s, to pick Green, that statement falls very hollow.&lt;/p&gt;
  286. &lt;p id="mIT2FY"&gt;On the field, Green is a different type of pass rusher from their normal body types. He’s got shorter arms, but his speed and burst off the ball is truly among the best in the class. If he can come in and be a valuable DPR it makes sense.&lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;h3 id="xu5gh1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;60. Denver Broncos: RJ Harvey, RB, UCF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  288. &lt;p id="Nsv8Zz"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;p id="3YQJyO"&gt;Harvey was my 65th graded player, but also one of my favorite RBs in this class. A springy and bouncy runner with a low center of gravity, he’s going to make the Broncos offense much more explosive and dynamic as a runner and receiver. I love this pick for the Broncos, who need that explosiveness behind their powerful offensive line.&lt;/p&gt;
  290. &lt;h3 id="A7Iy0S"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;61. Washington Commanders: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  291. &lt;p id="kTaaST"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  292. &lt;p id="G7MftD"&gt;This is a phenomenal pick for the Commanders, a perfect scheme fit for Washington. Amos is a physical corner at the line of scrimmage who is better playing the ball when it’s in front of him. In Dan Quinn’s defense he could be a steal.&lt;/p&gt;
  293. &lt;h3 id="gbKGOF"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;62. Chicago Bears: Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&amp;amp;M&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  294. &lt;p id="NPLJZJ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  295. &lt;p id="tPYald"&gt;Turner is a supremely athletic defensive tackle who can get up and down the line of scrimmage. In Dennis Allen’s one gap defense he could shore up some of their issues up the spine. If he keeps his penalties down, this could be nice value. Just wonder if better and more consistent players were on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  296. &lt;h3 id="R3JJGc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;63. Kansas City Chiefs: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  297. &lt;p id="cEliRm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  298. &lt;p id="vqBXuv"&gt;This is an awesome pick by the Chiefs, one that fits their defense really well. Norman-Lott doesn’t have the prototypical size but he’s got long arms and extremely quick crossing the face of a lineman. He’s a one gap vertical pass rusher who isn’t a run defender, but as a DPR on the inside next to Chris Jones this should be really good.&lt;/p&gt;
  299. &lt;h3 id="8sQB08"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;64. Philadelphia Eagles: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  300. &lt;p id="XECFEG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  301. &lt;p id="MH4BfZ"&gt;I had Mukuba at 62 on my board, and the Eagles getting him at 64 is really nice value. He’s an instinctive safety who loves to mix it up close to the line of scrimmage despite his size. Coming off the roof of a defense he should be really good, and with the Eagles having enough size in front of him, he could be a playmaker next to Reed Blankenship.&lt;/p&gt;
  302. &lt;h3 id="l3VB5w"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;65. New York Giants: Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  303. &lt;p id="TZSvVA"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  304. &lt;p id="FiQPYU"&gt;This one is a lot of fun! Alexander is an older prospect, but you can’t ignore his consistent pressure across multiple alignments both at Toledo and at the Senior Bowl. I wonder where he plays, but on 3rd downs he, Dexter Lawrence, Abdul Carter and others will be really cool.&lt;/p&gt;
  305. &lt;h3 id="9XLZJM"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;66. Kansas City Chiefs: Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  306. &lt;p id="KUPzdr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  307. &lt;p id="l2m7yz"&gt;Gillotte was 68th on my big board and the Chiefs got him at 66, so it really checks out. Gillotte is a high effort pass rusher who wins with heavy hands and power. For a Chiefs team that likes their edge defenders to compress the pocket, Gillotte adds to that room in a big way.&lt;/p&gt;
  308. &lt;h3 id="HDNqBr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;67. Cleveland Browns: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  309. &lt;p id="Qvkn2b"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  310. &lt;p id="y4q06A"&gt;Fannin is one of the most interesting prospects in this class. At only 20 years old, he has an ability to win after the catch, but is such an explosive linear prospect. He’s not a guy you want on the line of scrimmage, so he’s got a specific role as an F TE, but as the Browns transition to more 12 personnel, Fannin could be a nice receiving option.&lt;/p&gt;
  311. &lt;h3 id="wzZZFF"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;68. Las Vegas Raiders: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  312. &lt;p id="rvwqoX"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  313. &lt;p id="8H30Vt"&gt;I wonder why Porter is the pick here over Thomas or Shavon Revel Jr, but Porter has an extremely high ceiling. He’s a former receiver, but the athleticism is so natural on the outside. He’s also a special teams ace, so he’ll help there as well. I just wonder why Porter over other better CBs here.&lt;/p&gt;
  314. &lt;h3 id="rmApKq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;69. New England Patriots: Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  315. &lt;p id="6RFdzN"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  316. &lt;p id="U8dJA8"&gt;Williams is a nasty route runner who can create separation, but his biggest issue is his slight frame and eight drops. His inconsistent hands might hold him back, but he can get open quickly. I wonder if Jaylin Noel would’ve been the better pick here but I understand why Williams is the pick.&lt;/p&gt;
  317. &lt;h3 id="UlCMdu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;70. Detroit Lions: Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  318. &lt;p id="4JHpXc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;/p&gt;
  319. &lt;p id="6aHbW8"&gt;I’m really curious about this one. TeSlaa is big, fast, and showed some nice things on tape despite a terrible passing offense, but lack of production and inconsistent ability to separate on the outside really concern me. He also is a good blocker, making him a fit for what the Lions want out of their receivers. Getting him here feels like a massive reach, though.&lt;/p&gt;
  320. &lt;h3 id="lt8fha"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;71. New Orleans Saints: Vernon Broughton, DT, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  321. &lt;p id="L6dT3i"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;p id="sN0njo"&gt;Broughton here feels kinda high, I was thinking this would be a good range for Oregon’s Jamaree Caldwell. However, Broughton can stop the run and gives the Saints more length on the inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  323. &lt;h3 id="9SCCdC"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;72. Buffalo Bills: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  324. &lt;p id="FMVLhL"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  325. &lt;p id="MzqQ7J"&gt;This is such a Bills pick. Jackson is a tall, strong and long defender who wins with length and motor. He also showed some explosiveness at the combine, which is a really helpful boost for his NFL outlook. I don’t know if he’ll be a star, but he’s going to be ultra reliable edge for Buffalo.&lt;/p&gt;
  326. &lt;h3 id="pDFTNJ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;73. New York Jets: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  327. &lt;p id="JcoZf3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  328. &lt;p id="javqzb"&gt;This is a massive steal for the Jets, because I thought Thomas was arguably the best press man cornerback in the draft class. He’s a competitor who uses his length and size to beat up receivers outside. He’s not fast, but his ball skills are there. This is a great pick for New York.&lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;h3 id="i5MAHN"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;74. Denver Broncos: Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  330. &lt;p id="mhEkGB"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  331. &lt;p id="zNKqct"&gt;Bryant was player number 101 on my board, but man this feels like a reach by the Broncos. Bryant is a smooth player who isn’t overly fast, but has tidy route running and sure hands. The Broncos need explosiveness from their receiver room, however, and Bryant isn’t that. Lot of questions here.&lt;/p&gt;
  332. &lt;h3 id="LoqxK9"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;75. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  333. &lt;p id="QBjhIG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: D+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  334. &lt;p id="hNwmB2"&gt;I mean...whoa. I like Nick Martin as a player, but I liked him more on Day 3 than in Round 3. This feels really rich, but Martin is a good coverage linebacker who can man up on backs and tight ends. Just think there’s better players out there.&lt;/p&gt;
  335. &lt;h3 id="jpHnpE"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;76. Dallas Cowboys: Shavon Revel Jr, CB, East Carolina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  336. &lt;p id="J6433g"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  337. &lt;p id="m3IFWO"&gt;Another corner who has an injury issue, but if he’s cleared he can be a massive steal. Revel is long and physical at the line of scrimmage, and when healthy he can turn interceptions into touchdowns. This feels like a pick the Cowboys would make, taking a swing on a prospect with an injury. I think Revel can be really good if healthy, so I’m excited for this.&lt;/p&gt;
  338. &lt;h3 id="wfhURz"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;77. Carolina Panthers: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  339. &lt;p id="vuh9NL"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  340. &lt;p id="YMHi98"&gt;I think this is the perfect range for Umanmielen, a speedy pass rusher with a finesse profile who doesn’t really defend the run. I think Swinson might be a bit more of a fit for Carolina, but the Panthers make a solid pick here for a designated pass rushers to back up Nic Scourton and Jadeveon Clowney.&lt;/p&gt;
  341. &lt;h3 id="kNqUGQ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;78. Arizona Cardinals: Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  342. &lt;p id="VWMMhQ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  343. &lt;p id="oQsdCf"&gt;I think this might be a bit of a reach here, but for the Cardinals’ defense I understand. Burch is very similar to former Oregon Duck Brandon Dorlus, who could play inside and outside at the NFL level. I think he’s going to need an established position in the NFL, but the Cardinals need the beef up front.&lt;/p&gt;
  344. &lt;h3 id="qpwEFs"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;79. Houston Texans: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  345. &lt;p id="dpEYk9"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  346. &lt;p id="z6vQe4"&gt;This is an outstanding pick for the Texans, who doubled down on Iowa State receivers. I thought Noel was the better receiver, with field tilting speed and concentration on passes downfield. With Tank Dell being out for the foreseeable future and no speed on the field, Noel adds that in bunches.&lt;/p&gt;
  347. &lt;h3 id="aiFk9k"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;80. Indianapolis Colts: Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  348. &lt;p id="3lyZyy"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  349. &lt;p id="AHHZOP"&gt;I got to Walley late in the process, but he graded out as a near top 100 player. I wonder why the Colts go with a slot defender here with Kenny Moore II still under contract, but Walley’s competitive nature and ball skills in man coverage translate both inside and outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  350. &lt;h3 id="SGeQl2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;81. Cincinnati Bengals: Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  351. &lt;p id="xvyzXf"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: D+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  352. &lt;p id="r6Sf2a"&gt;I’m not sure about this one for Cincy. Fairchild is a raw offensive guard who has a lot of athleticism, but he doesn’t have a lot of power in his hands and can be a little off balance. With Marcus Mbow still on the board, I think this was a big reach.&lt;/p&gt;
  353. &lt;h3 id="JrpDfW"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;82. Tennessee Titans: Kevin Winston Jr, S, Penn State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  354. &lt;p id="LSuQji"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  355. &lt;p id="63ARtg"&gt;Winston is a missile as a run defender, who wants to come up and break stuff as a safety. The knee injury knocked him out of 2024, and his skills in coverage aren’t there, but he’s a hammer coming downhill. I don’t know if I like him over Xavier Watts, however.&lt;/p&gt;
  356. &lt;h3 id="Hq6DIe"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;83. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  357. &lt;p id="RIXQwo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  358. &lt;p id="YTvllc"&gt;The only reason this isn’t gettin an A is because Shedeur Sanders and Jalen Milroe are both still on the board. Outside of that, this is an awesome player and schematic fit. Johnson is the best zone runner in the class with physicality and foot quickness. He’s not overly fast, but he’s quick in short areas. Would’ve loved a QB there, but Johnson makes so much sense.&lt;/p&gt;
  359. &lt;h3 id="IBBjXE"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  360. &lt;p id="Cm2yS1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  361. &lt;p id="iESiMo"&gt;This is an incredible scheme and culture fit. Parrish is a monster at nickel, who is undersized but plays a lot bigger than his size and is unafraid of mixing it up as a run defender. I wonder what happens to promising rookie Tykee Smith, but get your best guys on the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  362. &lt;h3 id="PwN3lp"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;85. Kansas City Chiefs: Nohl Williams, CB, Cal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  363. &lt;p id="TohQeV"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  364. &lt;p id="cmX5Tc"&gt;I might’ve gone with Quincy Riley here, but Williams also feels like a Spags type of DB. He’s physical and unafraid to put his head in and make tackles, but also shows promise as a defender in the flat area. &lt;/p&gt;
  365. &lt;h3 id="ZwA7qx"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;86. Los Angeles Chargers: Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  366. &lt;p id="kZ9M2B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  367. &lt;p id="fPTHcj"&gt;I LOVE this fit for the Chargers. Caldwell is a tough run defender who can play nose, but also has surprising quickness for a player his size. He has pass rush potential, but he’ll be tasked with replacing Poona Ford, and I think he can do that well.&lt;/p&gt;
  368. &lt;h3 id="xaIqB5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;87. Green Bay Packers: Savion Williams, WR, TCU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  369. &lt;p id="itVODG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  370. &lt;p id="nlfAiV"&gt;This one also confuses me. Williams has the size and speed of an outside X receiver, but is less of a receiver and more of a running back. However, he’s also lacking the vision to be a true threat as a running back and is more receiver. He’s a lot like Cordarrelle Patterson, which makes him an odd fit, especially with Elic Ayomanor on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  371. &lt;h3 id="9oAnQM"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;88. Jacksonville Jaguars: Caleb Ransaw, CB, Tulane&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  372. &lt;p id="CVgNsS"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  373. &lt;p id="GGfD74"&gt;Would’ve loved for this to be Quincy Riley, but Ransaw here makes sense. He’s an instinctive nickel defender who wants to be a factor in the run game, but might also be better at safety in the long run. Very interesting player who can wear different hats.&lt;/p&gt;
  374. &lt;h3 id="TIV2ul"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;89. TRADE: Jacksonville Jaguars (via Houston Texans): Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  375. &lt;p id="z4v6pj"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  376. &lt;p id="AlTaBC"&gt;I think Milum is a bit stiff through the lower body and his short arms might move him inside to guard at the next level, but he’s got good hand placement and grip strength as a blocker on gap scheme runs. With the way that the Jaguars addressed their OL in the offseason, he might end up being the swing depth guy for now.&lt;/p&gt;
  377. &lt;h3 id="pr1EIC"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;90. Los Angeles Rams: Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  378. &lt;p id="SdNMtk"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  379. &lt;p id="zRS2Ow"&gt;I’m all for loading up the defensive line, and Stewart is much better than his size. He’s a great run defender, who is more fast than bendy as a pass rusher. He also has acumen dropping into coverage. I would’ve loved if they went secondary here, but defensive line is cool.&lt;/p&gt;
  380. &lt;h3 id="THDUh0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;91. Baltimore Ravens: Emery Jones Jr, OL, LSU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  381. &lt;p id="gY2kUg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  382. &lt;p id="32mOAq"&gt;Jones was outside my top 100, but among the guards left on the board he’s the best guy for the Ravens’ scheme. He’s a competitor with power in his frame, but needs to work on his feet in order to stick at tackle. The Ravens need competition at guard, and Jones can become a starter there.&lt;/p&gt;
  383. &lt;h3 id="5X4SAO"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;92. Seattle Seahawks: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  384. &lt;p id="WNMWr9"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  385. &lt;p id="1Gb1Mr"&gt;If you would’ve told me Milroe was getting picked before Shedeur Sanders I would’ve been surprised, but here we are. Milroe is the ultimate wild card in this draft, a 6’2 and 220 pound signal caller who is lightning quick and has a rocket launcher for an arm. The footwork needs to be ironed in, but with Sam Darnold on the team, there’s a chance Milroe could be their QB of the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  386. &lt;h3 id="2ePxtM"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;93. New Orleans Saints: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  387. &lt;p id="R8hWCt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  388. &lt;p id="Og4Hz3"&gt;Sanker came in at 95 on my board, a box safety who can wrap up and tackle while also being an effective blitzer. I worry about some of the stuff in coverage, but Sanker put out so many fires on the back end at Virginia. He makes a lot of sense for a Brandon Staley defense.&lt;/p&gt;
  389. &lt;h3 id="6anNl6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;94. Cleveland Browns: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  390. &lt;p id="8pY8J2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: F&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  391. &lt;p id="wETcTg"&gt;Brother, with Shedeur Sanders on the board the Browns take an older QB with injury issues and a weak arm? They’re definitely punting on this class in hopes for 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
  392. &lt;h3 id="MZYu1q"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;95. New England Patriots: Jared Wilson, C, Georgia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  393. &lt;p id="J0lP9g"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  394. &lt;p id="cuYyal"&gt;Wilson feels like a bit of a reach here, but considering that Garrett Bradbury is sort of similar. Wilson is a smaller guy, but he’s incredibly athletic. Play strength will be an issue, but next to Layden Robinson and Mike Onwenu it should be fine.&lt;/p&gt;
  395. &lt;h3 id="4cxdIK"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;96. Atlanta Falcons: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  396. &lt;p id="C3mpBD"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  397. &lt;p id="0U2N88"&gt;Watts is a steal for the Falcons at this range. He’s not the most impressive athlete, but has great instincts in quarters coverage and coming off the roof. You can’t fake ball skills, and Watts always finds himself around the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  398. &lt;h3 id="WyHWmt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;97. Houston Texans: Jaylin Smith, CB, USC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  399. &lt;p id="tQfpwX"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  400. &lt;p id="g5IxxI"&gt;This one also feels like a reach, but Smith is a guy who can be depth on the inside or outside. He’s a bit thin, but Smith can make plays in press on the ball. Would’ve loved Quincy Riley here.&lt;/p&gt;
  401. &lt;h3 id="SmamwH"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;98. Las Vegas Raiders: Caleb Rogers, OG, Texas Tech&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  402. &lt;p id="JlMCP2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  403. &lt;p id="ti5cKq"&gt;Rogers is a really fun eval. I think Marcus Mbow might be better on the inside, but Rogers is a nice mover in space and can be really effective moving laterally on the inside. He could challenge for a starting spot at RG early.&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;h3 id="coYinD"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;99. Las Vegas Raiders: Charles Grant, OT, William and Mary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  405. &lt;p id="gDr56R"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  406. &lt;p id="XpfTTe"&gt;This has the chance to hit really big for the Raiders. Grant is a super impressively built athlete with 34 inch arms in a 6’4 frame, and his quickness at tackle really stands out. I don’t think he’s ready to start in the NFL yet, but in a few years this could hit big.&lt;/p&gt;
  407. &lt;h3 id="LWEzIo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;100. San Francisco 49ers: Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  408. &lt;p id="7k5Ufl"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  409. &lt;p id="BWuD2z"&gt;Stout is a diminutive dynamo, probably keeping him at nickel, but he’s a hard hitting and productive cornerback who wants to play in your face. I still think Quincy Riley might’ve been better because of his size, but Stout feels like a 49er type pick.&lt;/p&gt;
  410. &lt;h3 id="feJVYP"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;101. TRADE: Denver Broncos (via Philadelphia Eagles): Sai’vion Jones, DL, LSU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  411. &lt;p id="4W3lV7"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: B-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  412. &lt;p id="hrA8qo"&gt;I like this pick for Denver. Jones is a power player who can align in multiple fronts and wins with power and effort. No real home as a defensive lineman, but in Vance Joseph’s defense, he can thrive.&lt;/p&gt;
  413. &lt;h3 id="R3zw0W"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;102. Minnesota Vikings: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  414. &lt;p id="Sdfwd0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade: C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  415. &lt;p id="KQgvxr"&gt;Wow, I didn’t think Felton would get picked this early, but it’s pretty interesting. Felton is a burner who can create explosive plays downfield, but struggles with contact. Minnesota can create explosives out of a hat, but with better receivers on the board this feels like a reach.&lt;/p&gt;

  435.  &lt;p&gt;Justin Thomas has had an incredible amount of aces in his life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="yJKQQz"&gt;If you have ever seen a professional golfer in action then you know that they are very much Not Like Us.&lt;/p&gt;
  436. &lt;p id="CEMr5Q"&gt;We civilians only scratch the surface of skill that they have in the beautiful game and that is evidenced over and over and over and over.&lt;/p&gt;
  437. &lt;p id="QLsG6O"&gt;One way that this proves itself is in accuracy and holing out. Doing that is obviously difficult for people of any skill level, but that it is even tough for pros shows how impossible it is for the average joes. Think of just chipping in or dare I say imagine an ace.&lt;/p&gt;
  438. &lt;p id="mpDAE0"&gt;RBC Heritage winner Justin Thomas was a guest on &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0igLW4jOmg"&gt;the latest episode of &lt;em&gt;Pardon My Take&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;and said something that &lt;strong&gt;really &lt;/strong&gt;brought this subject to light. After talking about how many tracks he holds the course record on - &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/2025/4/20/24412075/justin-thomas-insane-amount-pga-tour-course-records"&gt;the number is nine which is unbelievable&lt;/a&gt; - Thomas was asked how many aces he has had in his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  439. &lt;p id="5Nz5Gw"&gt;“25.”&lt;/p&gt;
  440. &lt;p id="FvnomC"&gt;TWENTY FIVE! I SAID TWENTY FIVE!&lt;/p&gt;
  441. &lt;p id="3Xvii4"&gt;This is impossible to believe. I mean, I am not calling him a liar. But holy smokes.&lt;/p&gt;
  442. &lt;p id="im6Cyl"&gt;JT tried to play this off humbly (how can you even do that lol) but was also asked for his favorite of them. Clearly this was a difficult question given how many there were to choose from.&lt;/p&gt;
  443. &lt;p id="yAfv3V"&gt;Thomas said his favorite ace came in the final round of the 2019 Masters.&lt;/p&gt;

  463.    <title>The best women’s basketball player remaining in the transfer portal is going to an SEC rival</title>

  469.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  470.  
  471.  &lt;p&gt;South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley will join Kim Mulkey and Flau’Jae Johnson at LSU.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="H0EpVR"&gt;The schedules for women’s basketball in the SEC won’t be released for a few more months, but when they come out folks will want to circle one matchup that just got a whole lot more interesting: South Carolina at &lt;a href="https://www.andthevalleyshook.com"&gt;LSU&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  472. &lt;p id="ebwZzH"&gt;It’s difficult to call this series a true rivalry because the Gamecocks have 17 consecutive wins over the Tigers. However, since Kim Mulkey arrived in Baton Rouge in 2021, these two programs have been the very best in the SEC — arguably the best conference in women’s college basketball. And when the two teams meet, it typically draws a big audience for the sport. This past season — even though the game tipped off at the unconventional time of 5 p.m. ET on a Friday due to bad weather — a peak viewership of 1.1 million fans tuned in, making it one of the five most-watched regular season games across all networks.&lt;/p&gt;
  473. &lt;p id="w35kPs"&gt;The two sides also met in a memorable 2024 &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/sec-basketball-tournament"&gt;SEC Tournament&lt;/a&gt; final. And MiLaysia Fulwiley was a big reason why the Gamecocks won as she scored 24 points and took home tournament MVP honors.&lt;/p&gt;
  474. &lt;p id="9qqrcM"&gt;But Fulwiley has traded in her Garnet-and-Black for Purple-and-Gold.&lt;/p&gt;
  475. &lt;p id="xAJjSj"&gt;Indeed, she’ll be playing for the other side of this rivalry next season, adding another storyline to an already highly anticipated matchup.&lt;/p&gt;
  476. &lt;p id="fp4FKU"&gt;Fulwiley announced Friday afternoon that she had committed to LSU after spending about two weeks in the transfer portal. The rising junior guard will partner with Flau’Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams in what will seemingly be a starting lineup featuring at least three guards next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  477. &lt;p id="DAiNPJ"&gt;“She’s bringing her incredible playmaking ability to Baton Rouge, standing out as one of the most electrifying talents in college basketball,” Mulkey said in a statement. “Her ability to impact winning has been clear throughout her career.”&lt;/p&gt;
  478. &lt;p id="t3md3I"&gt;For the past two seasons at South Carolina, the 5-foot-10 native of Columbia has shown flashes of her otherworldly athleticism and superb talents. With her swagger, creativeness and head-turning abilities, it became clear that she has the potential to be one of the sport’s stars. Under Armour and Red Bull thought so, as they signed her to NIL deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  479. &lt;p id="aqo9cK"&gt;However, Fulwiley’s development seemed to stall under Dawn Staley as a sophomore. She played just .5 minutes more per game and never started this past season and many of her stats — from her 3-point shooting percentage to her PER to her assist-turnover ratio — worsened as a sophomore. Still, there were times where Staley turned the keys of the team over to Fulwiley in crucial games and the electric guard powered the Gamecocks to victories. Notably, she had 23 points and five rebounds in a four-point win over Maryland in the Sweet 16.&lt;/p&gt;
  480. &lt;p id="XSXr2I"&gt;The lack of growth in a role and playing time for Fulwiley led to chatter amongst fans and media members alike who speculated whether or not she might enter the transfer portal. Those whispers turned into full-throated yells after South Carolina landed &lt;a href="https://www.tomahawknation.com/"&gt;Florida State&lt;/a&gt;’s Ta’Niya Latson — who plays the same position as Fulwiley — through the portal and after Raven Johnson announced she was returning for another season. Indeed, within a week of Latson signing with the Gamecocks, &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/2025/4/11/24406392/milaysia-fulwiley-transfer-portal-womens-basketball-south-carolina-lsu-clemson"&gt;Fulwiley went into the portal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  481. &lt;p id="JX8oun"&gt;Fulwiley entered the transfer portal with a “do not contact” tag, a source familiar with her situation told SB Nation, which allowed her control the process and reach out to programs instead of vice-versa. A source also said that LSU was the only program that Fulwiley visited during her time in the portal.&lt;/p&gt;
  482. &lt;p id="8d6Xeg"&gt;This offseason has been one of change for LSU’s roster after the Tigers fell in the Elite Eight for the second straight season. Aneesah Morrow went off to the &lt;a href="https://www.swishappeal.com"&gt;WNBA&lt;/a&gt;, Shayeann Day-Wilson exhausted her eligibility, and players like Sa’Myah Smith, Jersey Wolfenbarger, Last-Tear Poa and Mjracle Sheppard entered the transfer portal.&lt;/p&gt;
  483. &lt;p id="f208a7"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/2025/4/23/24414983/flaujae-johnson-lsu-returning-ncaa-womens-basketball-wnba-transfer-portal"&gt;But Johnson and Williams are returning&lt;/a&gt;, Fulwiley and &lt;a href="https://www.onefootdown.com"&gt;Notre Dame&lt;/a&gt;’s Kate Koval are coming in, and two top 10-ranked recruits by ESPN — Grace Knox and ZaKiyah Johnson — will bolster an LSU roster that expects to contend for the SEC crown and a Final Four berth. LSU is also among the programs being considered &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/2025/3/25/24393319/womens-college-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker-2025-ranked-ncaa"&gt;by Wisconsin transfer Serah Williams&lt;/a&gt;, a 6-foot-4 junior forward who was a First Team All-Big Ten selection this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  484. &lt;p id="4vyiJt"&gt;Another thing worth mentioning about Fulwiley’s transfer to LSU is that while she can continue her NIL deal with Under Armour’s Curry Brand, she won’t be able to wear her signature “Butta” shoes — the Curry 2 FloTro Low PE that is inspired by her nickname — in games or warmups. That’s because LSU has a contract with Nike to outfit its entire athletic department. Nike has already set the precedent to not budge on this, evidenced by its unwillingness to allow Cooper Flagg to wear New Balance at Duke. Similarly, Johnson has an NIL deal with Puma, but wears Nike during LSU games.&lt;/p&gt;
  485. &lt;p id="IoZqE0"&gt;Being at a Nike school would however allow Fulwiley to wear the signature shoes of former South Carolina star A’ja Wilson. Fulwiley suiting up against the Gamecocks in a pair of A’Ones would only add more spice to this rivalry.&lt;/p&gt;

  497.    <title>Why Shedeur Sanders fell out of Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft</title>

  505.  &lt;p&gt;This isn’t some grand conspiracy or anything like that.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="cP3n0j"&gt;The biggest story of the 2025 NFL Draft wasn’t the Jacksonville Jaguars’ massive swing to trade up for WR/CB Travis Hunter, it wasn’t the massive run on linemen in the first round.&lt;/p&gt;
  506. &lt;p id="sGLoJg"&gt;It was, as always, a slide. A very prominent slide.&lt;/p&gt;
  507. &lt;p id="dCK76J"&gt;Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders was not picked in the first round of the draft, and it led to a lot of takes, on both sides of the coin:&lt;/p&gt;

  510. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;ESPN shows that its Draft Day predictor thought there was a 96% chance Shedeur Sanders would go by the 21st pick. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mel Kiper then names numerous star/Hall of Fame quarterbacks that were passed over in the draft. &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFL?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#NFL&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFLDraft?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#NFLDraft&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/2DnHa4hjEI"&gt;pic.twitter.com/2DnHa4hjEI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1915599077573857364?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 25, 2025&lt;/a&gt;

  517. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers Legend Ryan Clark was disappointed when they didn’t pick Shedeur Sanders  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Mason Rudolph !

  521. &lt;/div&gt;
  522. &lt;p id="K5GgBy"&gt;If you search Sanders’ name on social media, the takes fly in like bats out of hell. However, I don’t really think this is a conspiracy theory against Sanders, nor is this an instance of the NFL’s racism (although we can point to a lot of other things which are an example of that). I think this case is pretty simple:&lt;/p&gt;
  523. &lt;p id="u9lqCx"&gt;Shedeur Sanders was always a late first to early second round QB.&lt;/p&gt;
  524. &lt;p id="aoqyhA"&gt;I had Sanders as my QB1, but also didn’t have any QBs as surefire first round locks. As much as I love how Sanders plays the game, his accuracy throwing over the middle of the field, and downfield touch, playing the quarterback position in the modern NFL is all about having a superpower. Everyone chases after their own version of Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, guys who can dominate the game with their arm or their legs. &lt;/p&gt;
  525. &lt;p id="YfnhU4"&gt;Sanders isn’t that. &lt;/p&gt;
  526. &lt;p id="tvMVgc"&gt;Unlike top picks such as Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, he doesn’t have that rocket arm or ability to take over the game with his legs. The NFL is willing to take chances on guys with that athleticism, because it’s easier to teach guys to throw a football. It’s a bit more difficult to teach a guy to be more athletic. This is the whole premise behind the Colts picking Anthony Richardson at No. 5 in 2023 (although they did kind of botch that process after he was drafted). While Sanders does some of the other things well, his athletic upside isn’t really as high as other QB prospects taken in the first round, with the exception of guys like Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr.&lt;/p&gt;
  527. &lt;p id="L7rRyB"&gt;Which brings us to the second part of why he fell: NFL teams are much more willing to deal with other ... stuff if you’re a great athlete. I might be looking too far into the tea leaves, but this reasoning behind why Jaxson Dart was taken at 25 instead of Sanders feels really telling:&lt;/p&gt;
  528. &lt;div id="0EjyGe"&gt;
  529. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;
  530. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Some more context on why the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Giants&lt;/a&gt; traded up to get Jaxson Dart, from multiple sources:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;• Culture builder and competitor —reminiscent of Josh Allen in terms of guys wanting to play for him. He may be 21 years old, but leads like he’s 35&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;• Elite leadership skills: Dart was a… &lt;a href="https://t.co/WDMjlQAQNg"&gt;https://t.co/WDMjlQAQNg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/v1U4HsmOlY"&gt;pic.twitter.com/v1U4HsmOlY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1915793288390435270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 25, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  531. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  532. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  533.  
  534. &lt;/div&gt;
  535. &lt;p id="38nP2Y"&gt;The most telling thing to come from this is the section where the source says the Giants felt “even more comfortable with Dart once the helmet came off.” That feels like they weren’t too thrilled with Sanders in meetings and interviews. But again, teams are willing to put up with some of those things if you’re supremely talented. Caleb Williams went first overall despite being picked over about how he loses or his mentality in a locker room. None of that stuff matters if a guy is overwhelmingly good, or has the athleticism to overcome it. &lt;/p&gt;
  536. &lt;p id="sLUfrT"&gt;Sanders, to be frank, doesn’t really have that athletic second gear that most other guys have. While we’ve seen guys like Joe Burrow and CJ Stroud win despite not being overwhelming athletes, Sanders didn’t mitigate pressure the same way those guys did. While I think Dart in the first round is a massive reach, multiple things can be true. Sanders is a better QB, but also not one teams wanted to tie their franchise to with his limited athletic upside.&lt;/p&gt;
  537. &lt;p id="yHErWt"&gt;There’s no conspiracy around Sanders’ slide. He was just always more of a late first to early second round player, which is perfectly fine.&lt;/p&gt;
