Honestly, you need to take a swing at a QB, but Dart had one of those QB sessions with Gurden and he sounded like a moron. Total meathead.
OT: 2025 NFL Draft Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
It basically cost them two third picks, one this year and one next, to swap places.
Don't think Dart is that guy, but you know who does? Ex Giant's coach Joe Judge
From an article this morning, https://www.si.com/nfl/nfl-draft-2025-latest-first-round-intel-albert-breer
Horrible trade to get Pearce, giving up next years 1st rounder is bad unless going for the top pick.
Cleveland needs a QB still and they pick before Giants in Round 2 so the price is worth removing the risk. Plus, look at how little they gave up compared to Atlanta who traded up for the pick after. Round 1 next year, Giants keep 2026 R1 and R2. We'll see how it works out, hopefully Daboll can develop him like he did Allen.
Very fair. The haul Atlanta gave up compared to the Giants is a really good point. And you’re right that Cleveland is a threat for QB in early 2nd round.
" There are no two people you’ll find who are higher on Dart than Rebels assistant coaches Charlie Weis Jr. and Joe Judge."
How exciting is that lol.
I would rather have had SUs' McCord - #1 for CFB QB stats and he was good player under pressure
Really good pick IF the guy is able to stay healthy.
McCord also has the Ohio State pedigree and he turned 'Cuse around. I guess I am saying I wouldn't be surprised if he is a great value pick later.
Anyone have a guess for Kyle Monangai? I looked at a page showing various mock draft results and it was anywhere from Round 2 to Round 7 or so with 6 being the most common, IIRC. Hope he gets an ideal situation with a winner. Heck.. Jets going OL again maybe an RB could do worse.
Hmmmm indeed. Perhaps it is salary related. That is, Jacksonville has had a lot of high picks in recent years.. with high contracts I assume. Maybe they figure they cannot afford another 1st round next year are really really really wanted Hunter. He's a tow-way player.. maybe they figure they are getting 2 first round picks by getting him.
I hope Jerry Jones lives to 120.
The 5 days later part is true .
But there has to be guys that have had numbers retired by schools and not drafted.
Passed over for a QB that was hurt for three years - its been obvious the fix has been in.

First Round (32 Picks) by Conference:
• SEC: 15 picks
• Big Ten: 11 picks
• ACC: 2 picks
• Big 12: 2 picks
• Mountain West: 1 pick
• FCS/Other: 1 pick
The SEC and Big Ten combined for 26 of the 32 first-round picks, tying the SEC’s 2020 record for the most first-round selections by a single conference in the modern draft era. This reflects the talent acquisition dominance of these two conferences in college football.
First Three Rounds (102 Picks) by Conference:
• SEC: 37 picks
• Big Ten: 29 picks
• Big 12: 13 picks
• ACC: 11 picks
• FBS Independents, MAC, AAC: 2 picks each
• Mountain West, Missouri Valley (FCS), Sun Belt, Pac-12, CAA, CUSA: 1 pick each
The SEC led all conferences with 37 picks through the first three rounds, followed closely by the Big Ten with 29. Together, these two conferences accounted for 65% of all picks in the first three rounds, underscoring their depth of NFL-caliber talent.
Additional Insights:
• First 17 Picks: In the first half of the first round, the SEC had 8 picks, the Big Ten 5, the Big 12 2, the ACC 1, and the Mountain West 1. This early dominance by the SEC and Big Ten set the tone for the draft.
• First 50 Picks: Across the first 50 picks (spanning rounds 1 and part of 2), the SEC had 21 picks, the Big Ten 18, the ACC 5, the Big 12 4, and both the FCS and Mountain West had 1 each.
• Notable Performances:
• The SEC’s 15 first-round picks included players from schools like Ole Miss, LSU, and Georgia, with standout prospects like defensive tackle Walter Nolen (Ole Miss, picked by Arizona at No. 16).
• The Big Ten’s 11 first-rounders were led by Ohio State, which had four players selected, including offensive linemen Donovan Jackson and Josh Simmons, fresh off a College Football Playoff National Championship.
• The ACC’s highlight was Miami’s Cam Ward, selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans, giving the conference bragging rights for the top pick.
• The Mountain West’s lone first-rounder was Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, a notable achievement for a non-power conference.
• Total Draft Picks (257): While exact numbers for all seven rounds by conference are not fully detailed in the provided data, the trend suggests the SEC and Big Ten likely maintained their lead, given their 65% share through three rounds. Smaller conferences like the MAC, AAC, and FCS contributed sparingly, with only a handful of picks each.

As a Penn State fan, I’ve seen a lot of both of them. I don’t think Carter is at the level of Parsons at the same point in their careers. Parsons only played 2 years in college, 26 games. Carter played in 42 in 3 years.
To me though, the thing that stands out is that Parsons essentially quit PSU to prep for the NFL prior to the COVID season BS. He had the chance to come back after the season was back on and chose to sit. Carter played with one arm against ND in the Orange Bowl when he didn’t even have to suit up.
I get it, very different circumstances that will not ultimately determine their NFL success, but I have a ton of respect for Carter being out there.
I like the Giants trading up to get Dart. Let him learn the ropes from the bench for a year or two. G-Men suddenly seem to have improved quite a bit. A playmaking defensive end in the Parsons/LT mode and some actual depth at QB.
I also like the Jets’ pick.
I also like the Jets’ pick.
And who was 1st for two days ahead of him….just saying it’s time for Mel to move on.
They graded Longerbeam as "Average backup or special-teamer". It's a miracle Rutgers won any games last season lol
