2025 NFL Draft no spoilers edition

Just give us Alexander in the 3rd if he's there or Farmer/Ty Robinson later and the line DL should be done.

I get it. There is nothing worse as a fan than when your team is getting ran on and you know there is nothing they can do about it. That being said, if you asked me before the draft if I would take a top two picks of Williams and Collins or Nolan and Green...... I would probably take the misfits.

Chris Paul Jr and best available DB in the 3rd and I'll be pretty happy.

I'll take that but would prefer Paul and Charles Grant

Wouldn't argue with that either. We brought a lot of DB depth in FA, probably so we wouldn't be compelled to take DB too early.

Anyone on D I'm not going to complain about, although I could see us going TE/WR with 100.

Just because dudes on ESPN/Fox/Youtube etc had their own version of what their board looks like does not mean NFL team draft boards looked the same. Lol. We don't know if this was a reach. But Lynch and Co got their guy.

Idk. It's frustrating. We need at least one OT and arguably 2 if Trent retires next year.

Let's see if they can land someone in round 3 or by trade up.

We got a potential all pro in the 3rd last year, relax

Projected late 2nd rounder by some

Alfred Collins' NFL Draft Scouting Report
Alfred Collins has enigmatic qualities as a 2025 NFL Draft prospect. He accumulated just seven career sacks in five seasons at Texas, and as expected, he struggles to attack independently on pass-rushing downs, despite his physical tools.

However, he is extremely effective as a run defender — perhaps the most effective in the class.

His style will not suit every team, but Collins' high floor in the run game, combined with his athletic upside, makes him an extremely compelling Day 2 investment. At 6'5″, 332 pounds, with long levers for arms, Collins is a pure space-eater who also has the explosiveness to reset the line and hit blockers with jarring power.

He can slab blocks, stack-and-shed with violence, and snuff out carries, and his power profile and motor imply untapped potential on later downs.

Of course the Cards get Will Johnson a few picks later

Grant, Rogers, Wilum, Ersery still sent options

Cardinals having a great draft so far.

I would trade up using our 3rd and grab DT Alexander too

DL set and nasty
