BallsToTheWall: NFL Draft

BallsToTheWall 04.13.25	LFG!
TheSonomaDude 04.13.25	Ashton Jeanty would be cool on the cowboys playing for his home team but idk how much success he’d see
BallsToTheWall 04.13.25	That would be a cool fit.
Titan 04.13.25	Those Bucs games will be even better after their planned renovation
BallsToTheWall 04.13.25	Same For the Rays. Still though, I love pirates, pirate metal, cannons, so it’s long overdue to get the fuck in there and see what the party is about.
Hawks 04.13.25	Ready for the Steelers to completely ignore their huge defensive line problem and overdraft either Shedeur or Dart.
Intothepit 04.14.25	I really want Willie Beamen
tyman128 04.14.25	As a Texans fan, we just literally need o-line, give Stroud some protection and it's over
Futures 04.14.25	i will be there in the flesh checking out the festivities
DominionMM1 04.14.25	saints fan here. we need to rebuild our lines so OL or DL would be great with me.
unclereich 04.14.25	We all know you’re a saints fan 😂 good to see you dom
DominionMM1 04.14.25	you too reichy. did ypu hear the good news about your boy derek carr?
unclereich 04.14.25	Sounds like he got hurt so you guys can draft sanders
Futures 04.14.25	we've gotta do a sput dynasty league this year. would be a blast.
BallsToTheWall 04.14.25	I’m about it Futures.
Futures 04.14.25	hell yeah balls knew you would be down. i'll keep it in mind. gotta test our ball knowledge for real.
RVAHC13 04.14.25	I mean I’ve been Saints fan since 09 and I’m about to move to Charlotte lol
BallsToTheWall 04.14.25	Rolling in my current dynasty league and it’s refreshing to be able to add/drop all year long. I am interested in seeing how Penix does.
BallsToTheWall 04.14.25	Tell me how that plays out RV.hopefully notubtesms get more competitive.
Futures 04.14.25	oh yeah man dynasty is just a blast. only started 3 years ago, really feel like i missed out starting so late haha. i have lost two championships in a row and i think about it daily.
RVAHC13 04.14.25	Thank you sir, yeah our teams a mess as always, looks like we’ll be drafting Shedeur at 9 which is fine, I was a long-time defender of Carr but he’s hit Carson Wentz territory at this point.
Futures 04.14.25	my dad's a saints fan. nothing is gonna matter for like 3 years until they unfuck the cap so taking a shot on shadeur is fine imo. low ceiling probably but high floor. feels like he will at least be a decent game manager.
RVAHC13 04.14.25	Well we were 5-12 last season so at this point it can only get better haha
BallsToTheWall 04.14.25	I don’t hate this era of the Saints but I’m excited to see a competitive South again. Bucs defense could be filthy this year though.
Intothepit 04.14.25	Has anyone picked up Tiki Barber?
Snake. 04.14.25	idgaf lol sell the team mara!!!!!!
Devastator 04.14.25	Dolphins need serious OL help but I wouldn't be upset with a stud DL or LB in the first round.
BallsToTheWall 04.15.25	I’d be ok with Rodgers going to the saints. It would fit the theme laid down by Brady, Brees and Ryan.
BallsToTheWall 04.15.25	Also, Chop Robinson had a solid rookie year. Excited to see how Miami’s pass rush does this year, especially with getting injured players back, along with Tampas’s interior.
Devastator 04.15.25	Yeah Chop came in huge towards the second half of the year when we got decimated with injuries. Really hope he keeps it up in year 2 when we should have our other pass rushers back.
BallsToTheWall 04.24.25	If the Saints draft Dart I’ll be forced to semi root for them. Given my sluttiness for stand out athletes I really need to dial it back in that department but let’s see how it plays out.
AlexKzillion 04.24.25	Ready for the Steelers to completely ignore their huge defensive line problem and overdraft either Shedeur or Dart. [2]
Demon of the Fall 04.24.25	Shadeur seems like a prize knob. I could see him going “far too high” or dropping to the 2nd The Steelers do seem to be a likely scenario if he’s to go in the 1st round mind
BallsToTheWall 04.24.25	Dart in Pitt I’d be cool with as well.
Hyperion1001 04.24.25	whoever takes sanders is gonna regret that decision for many years.
Hawks 04.24.25	Gonna be the Steelers. And I will cry when they do it.
BallsToTheWall 04.24.25	If the Fins draft Dart I’m ordering a Dart jersey, cutting off the sleeves and pairing with a nice pair of jorts and a 4 pack of 211.
Sowing 04.24.25	Hoping Mason Graham somehow falls to us Balls. Not sold on Walker.
BallsToTheWall 04.24.25	Fair point, they really, really need to address that pass rush.
BallsToTheWall 04.24.25	Their DT core would be filthy, especially with their offseason additions.
AlexKzillion 04.25.25	yoooooooooooooooooooo
Futures 04.25.25	i am deathly ill but so fucking happy. was gonna go to the draft tonight sadly just got sick from easter. duuuuuuuuuuuuvaaallllllllllll
vult 04.25.25	oh shit the jags got travis hunter lfg lmao now draft all the OL
Hawks 04.25.25	The Steelers proved me wrong. Hype about Derrick Harmon coming to Pittsburgh!
Futures 04.25.25	jaxson fart being a first round pick man, this league will never learn it's lesson
Hawks 04.25.25	LMAOOOO FRIGGIN GIANTS!!!
Devastator 04.25.25	Draft analysts made this Jaxson Shart pick happen. No one was talking about him 2 weeks ago.
unclereich 04.25.25	same thing happened with Anthony Richardson. i remember the raiders were supposed to draft him in the 4th round+ then the hype train came. there's one every year! overall happy with the Jeanty pick, if nothing else the raiders won't be boring. just crazy how we are entering another year with a depleted secondary and lb corps
Demon of the Fall 04.25.25	Hunter in JAX seems so much more fun than in CLE, from a neutral's perspective Steelers did well to swerve Shadeur imo, the Browns are gonna struggle not to pick him in round 2 tho, maybe Dart seems over-drafted, but at least the Giants still walked away with the top defensive prospect (i.e. it hurts less as a second first rounder). Headlines are easy to write with that name, for multiple reasons Surprised the Broncos didn't take Hampton, I like it for the Chargers I wonder if Sowing is happy, I wouldn't be. Dolphins not taking a top CB surprised me. Cowboys grabbed need, but did they reach? Some of the usual suspects getting good value late in round 1. There's a lot to unpack here.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	I wanted pass rush but I’m content with McMillan.
evilford 04.25.25	With the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft the new York fuckheads select Evilford, sputnikmusic university
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	Dart in NY could be fun.
Devastator 04.25.25	Phins took a position of need and a immediate contributor at that. Not a "he'll be good in 2 or 3 years" guy we usually pick. I'm happy with the pick overall. Def need to get a corner in round 2 or 3 especially if they plan on trading Ramsey.
evilford 04.25.25	With the second pick in the 2025 NFL draft the los angeles pieces of shit select Smok, poopyhead university
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	I like the Fins going DT. Their d-line will be fun to watch. And Chubb hopefully is healthy again.
AlexKzillion 04.25.25	damn feel better futures i think trading out of the hunter pick could very well end up being the worst consequence the browns face over the watson trade. its absolutely the right thing for them to do theoretically but both hunter's floor and ceiling is so incredibly high that it feels pretty demoralizing to pick THIS moment to finally eat your vegetables.
Hawks 04.25.25	I'm hype Cleveland passed on Hunter. Did not wanna see him in a Browns uniform lol.
vult 04.25.25	"Draft analysts made this Jaxson Shart pick happen" yeah but they couldn't will Shadeur into a first round pick, let alone a #1 OVR pick like Mel Kiper was having an aneurysm about Hunter has so much upside that I've come around to being happy with the trade up that the Jags did. Best case scenario = he is a generational player that actively contributes on both sides Most likely scenario = he dedicates to one side and has key snaps on the other side as needed Worst case scenario = he is a great WR1b to BTJ or a CB1 automatically I'm already imagining the BTJ/Hunter comparisons to Chase/Higgins. Now the Jags have to draft a few OL and maybe a safety
tectactoe 04.25.25	Interesting Lions pick. Thought for sure they'd get a certified edge rusher, tho they definitely (also) need to bolster up the D-line so I can't be too mad at the pick (even if it's an Ohio State grad lol). Assuming (hoping?) Brad sees an edge rusher he thinks will still be available late second round. He always seems to have something up his sleeve and he's been somewhat of a draft magician in the past, so I have to just trust the man. Wondering how long that magic will last, though. Surely not forever.
s0nicx 04.25.25	I'm alright with the Saints pick. Team is gonna be garbage no matter what this year so might as well get long term need.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	For sure thought Saints would get Dart.
DominionMM1 04.25.25	nah we need to revamp our lines. no sense in using that high of a pick on a qb who isn’t a slam dunk starter.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	Fair. The Bucs adding another WR is both fucking hilarious and epic as hell. They’ll most likely win the South again but it should be more competitive this year.
Sowing 04.25.25	I liked the Tet pick. I know there are some reservations about his innate drive for the game or whatever, but he looked really dynamic and explosive in the film I was able to watch.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	I was watching tape and I’m Impressed. I completely Wrote off getting an offensive player in the first round but the cat can move. Him and prime Cam Newton would’ve been straight up insane.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	It’s just depressing as Fuck that Mingo was a bust and Legettte is a question mark but I feel the optimism returning.
AlexKzillion 04.25.25	"The Steelers proved me wrong. Hype about Derrick Harmon coming to Pittsburgh!" so happy to have been wrong about them drafting sanders/dart omg. no 2nd round pick so were most likely out of the shedeur running hopefully (unless he falls all the way to 83 lol). i am completely happy to keep all options open for next year's draft. feels like they learned their lesson
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	That’s good. Gonna be a tough division for you guys as usual, Cleveland’s stack with Garret and Mason should be brutal to watch. In a good way.
Hawks 04.25.25	Well they most definitely learned their lesson with first round bad QB drafts it seems lol. I honestly wouldn't mind Milroe in the 3rd round as someone to try and develope. Maybe trade Pickens to get back into the 2nd round and take a wide receiver? It's gonna be interesting.
Devastator 04.25.25	The Steelers and self-absorbed WR's, name a more iconic duo. Pickens is gonna end up like Chase Claypool. Insane potential that he wastes bouncing between teams because he's so far up his own ass.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	Cool idea Hawks.
vult 04.25.25	by god is that finally aaron rodger's music at heinz field/
Hyperion1001 04.25.25	turns out nfl teams are smarter than I thought because there was absolutely no way in hell anyone who watched sanders play at Colorado could have thought he was a first round prospect.
Devastator 04.25.25	Deon unintentionally summed it up perfectly, "We wouldn't be having this conversation if his last name wasn't Sanders." Yeah Deon but not in the way you thought.
Hyperion1001 04.25.25	got his jersey retired only to go in the 2nd or 3rd round to some shitty team like the jets or the cowboys lmao. great job Deion 👍
Devastator 04.25.25	Hunter I can understand, cause the guy played 2 positions full time at a high level and won a Heisman.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	Agreed.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	I expect a few trade ups tonight, hopefully one by Carolina. Maybe draft the always handsome Tate Ratledge if there’s time as well.
Snake. 04.25.25	very spicy take but jacksonville might be the worst place travis hunter could've gone aside from cleveland
Devastator 04.25.25	I don't fault the Jags for going and getting him but I do think adding next year 1st was to much. Probably could have gotten it done with next years 2nd or 3rd.
Hyperion1001 04.25.25	“very spicy take but jacksonville might be the worst place travis hunter could've gone aside from cleveland” trevor is better than people are giving him credit for. and Hunter is true generational prospect so im hoping the connection is instant. as long as they can figure out how to give trevor more than 5 seconds to get the ball out every snap.
unclereich 04.25.25	2nd/3rd rounds are the real draft
Futures 04.25.25	probably one of the best places he could've gone. new young forward thinking regime that will let him play both sides, opposite of brian thomas on offense and an actual franchise qb (don't know ball if you don't think he's legit). he made career years out of zay jones, evan engram, christian kirk and finally has two next level weapons. not to mention terrible coaching and bad injury luck the past two years.
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	Over under 8 games for Jags fam?
Futures 04.25.25	texans no o-line titans suck ass colts daniel jones or the guy who completes 50% of his passes take the jags to win the division right now!
AlexKzillion 04.25.25	i think the price the jags paid for hunter was fine considering the browns were most likely talking to other teams too and would've been more than happy to just draft hunter themselves if they couldn't find a deal they liked enough also just do not at all expect the jags to be drafting nearly that high again next year
BallsToTheWall 04.25.25	The Falcons drafting two pass rushers last night was fucking bold, curious to see how that plays out.
tyman128 04.25.25	"texans no o-line" Nah, plenty of o-line depth in the later rounds, which we just picked up a good amount of draft capital for Plus, we're getting Luther Burden in a couple hours so we're fine
unclereich 04.25.25	Wow sanders is still on the board 😂
Futures 04.25.25	26 years old justin herberts backup same recruiting class as trevor lawrence
Hawks 04.25.25	This is hilarious lmao.
BallsToTheWall 04.26.25	Bwhahaahah!
Hawks 04.26.25	This just in, Uncle Rico has been drafted ahead of Shedeur Sanders.
tyman128 04.26.25	Man, I get that people don't think Sanders is a good enough QB...but Shough shouldn't have even been anywhere NEAR Day 2
Trebor. 04.26.25	"This just in, Uncle Rico has been drafted ahead of Shedeur Sanders." Rico has all the tools. Some say in his prime he could throw a football over one of them mountains
tyman128 04.26.25	His prime was elite, one of the greatest I've ever seen
Futures 04.26.25	haven't seen since i was a kid, i should see if it holds up
Hawks 04.26.25	Was sure the Steelers were gonna take Shedeur. This is the biggest fall from projected slot I've ever seen.
vult 04.26.25	patriots drafting really well right now, getting some good pieces for Maye
unclereich 04.26.25	Milroe before sanders lol
unclereich 04.26.25	I’m enjoying this too much. Dillon fucking Gabriel lmao
Futures 04.26.25	malik willis had a brutal fall and even he went by now
vult 04.26.25	aaron rodgers board fall is the most comparable in terms of the player hype, but damn the shadeur fall is legendarily bad
Futures 04.26.25	the buzz definitely cooled off on him in the last month, i saw the second but am definitely very surprised someone like gabriel went ahead of him
vult 04.26.25	raiders with back to back OL picks in the 3rd, very nice
unclereich 04.26.25	Yea I don’t mind it. All positions of need but all projects other than jeanty. Only reason I’m not too concerned is we actually have a competent coaching staff that can develop talent.
Futures 04.26.25	might as well take shadeur in the 4th now!
Hawks 04.26.25	At this point I think its a clear shot at Prime. I think teams are telling him that he can't dictate things by not picking his son. I truly believe that.
unclereich 04.26.25	What else could it be when Gabriel was picked over him? Feels like the league is telling Deion nepotism will not fly in this league and his bully tactics aren’t going to work. The interested teams are probably hoping this takes him and his son down a peg or two back closer to earth. Though folks are making good point that they’re such egomaniacs if he’s picked now won’t he harbor ill will towards the team that passed on him now 3+ times lol?
unclereich 04.26.25	Browns picking a guy ranked under ewers and the raiders picking not one but two olinemen could not be a bigger slap in the face/fuck you to Deion and his kid
Hawks 04.26.25	Very good point bro. Seems like a bad situation either way. Steelers might end up going for Howard or Ewers in the 4th round I think. Wouldn't mind it tbh.
unclereich 04.26.25	Holy shit I didn’t know there was video of someone prank calling sanders about getting drafted. Brutal.
Futures 04.26.25	hopefully this will humble him. kind of hate these massive pile ons against people who didn't do anything criminal.
Hawks 04.26.25	Idk if this will knock him down a peg or make him even more unbearable. Hard to tell lol.
unclereich 04.26.25	I agree to a certain extent @futures he’s still a young dude and doesn’t deserve all the lumps he’s taking, but I’m a sucker for drama/schadenfreude like the rest of the freaks online. I honestly don’t mind him and wouldn’t have been bothered at all if the raiders had taken him. It’s just fun to discuss tho. The nfl knows that too
Hawks 04.26.25	I will 100% not mind if the Steelers grab him in the 4th round. I more can't stand Prime than Shedeur tbh. Guilty by association I guess.
tyman128 04.26.25	I had Sanders ahead of Dart, but I understand the Dart over Sanders pick... however, Shough and Gabriel over him is criminal and uncalled for (and also, that video of the prank call is just not cool, no matter how much you dislike the guy) Also, I'm not considering Milroe here because the Seahawks don't need someone like Sanders since they have Darnold. However, the idea of letting Milroe sit and develop behind Darnold and give him other opportunities is honestly a great developmental pick for Seattle, I like it
Futures 04.26.25	100% reich, well said as always. i just find the pathological vitrolic hatred he gets so odd. like it's the amount that deshaun watson gets lol
tyman128 04.26.25	Another round of Sanders sitting waiting, this is wild, he just won't get chosen at this point. With how it's going, I see Howard, McCord and Ewers all being selected over him.
Hawks 04.26.25	Absolutely wild lol.
Demon of the Fall 04.26.25	loving the Shadeur slander not loving ESPN putting him into their analysis for EVERY damn pick and the fact he’s the talk of the draft. Yeah maybe teams just think he’s more trouble than he’s worth. Who cares if he’s more “talented” than the 3-5 QB or whatever Hunter to Jags / the Browns trade was the headline and it should stay as such Seahawks might be winning the draft and definitely hating that I think this
Futures 04.26.25	oh well there it is! browns. just makes the gabriel pick all the more funny.
tyman128 04.26.25	Wow, what are the Browns doing... very Browns move there
Futures 04.26.25	taking shedeur that late good, taking gabriel very dumb
Hawks 04.26.25	LMAOOOOO THE BROWNS IS THE BROWNS!!! Exactly why they're a bottom tier franchise and always will be. Hilarious.
Demon of the Fall 04.26.25	Oh shit! yeah they fucked up with Gabriel, essentially. Shadeur is worth a dart throw there otherwise
tyman128 04.26.25	Oh absolutely, if they never took Gabriel I'd call this a steal... but they went out of their way to reach for Gabriel, and then TRADED UP
Hawks 04.26.25	Most abysmal franchise of all time. Cracks me up.
tyman128 04.26.25	They literally more than likely drafted their backup before their starter for the future
Demon of the Fall 04.26.25	I did think Shadeur might fall but the 5th is absolutely ridiculous. There’s clearly a lot of concern about his ability to be a team player / dressing room positive I’m not sure the Browns are the right team to correct that lol
Futures 04.26.25	yeah i was thinking he needs to go to a legit real culture like pittsburgh
Hawks 04.26.25	As a Steelers fan, I am loving this. They draft 2 QBS, have 97 year old Flacco and traded for Pickett. Its like a reality show.
Futures 04.26.25	thanks for travis hunter!
s0nicx 04.26.25	LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Demon of the Fall 04.26.25	to be fair I did think they’d take him early second, so this is a “big win” lol
