Read Dane Brugler’s 2025 ‘The Beast’ NFL draft guide.
The design of the NFL 2025 is less than two weeks from here, but the news cycle was almost terribly quiet, which led to it. Did Titani decide how to use selection No. 1? What happens to the Quarterback class, especially if and when Aaron Rodgers ever announces their plans for the upcoming season?
NFL analyst Nick Baumgardner and writer National College Football Scott Dochterman discuss these questions and, moreover
Now that you looked at Dane’s updated TOP 100 DRAFT Board in “The Beast” what will you jump for you?
Nick Baumgardner: With the risk of becoming a guy who always tells people to eat their vegetables, I have to point out where these quarterbacks land. There’s one Quarterback, Cam Ward, with the real first year of the Dane album-and by chance, the last of the 13 players has 1 stack in the wheel. Last year, three quarterbacks with 1 years were, all rated in the eight best.
If you are really thinking about taking the Shedeur Sanders on No. 2 or No. 3 (or anywhere in Top 10) and your list is defective to a point where even a successful Rookie QB will not be enough to repair you in 2025, then you should not do it.
To be clear, I like Sanders. I think that if the team with a stable supporting cast around him suggests (unlike what we saw with Bo Nix last year), he will have a chance. But if you put it on a bad team that expects a miracle, you cause a great risk of re -backing its growth.
The teams land in the hell of Quarterback through a vicious cycle – they take a guy who is not ready, crosses their fingers and ends to have this QB to have this QB before the process. It doesn’t have to be that hard.
Scott dockman: If something, it’s symmetry. Dane had in his top 100 51 offensive players and 49 defensive players. This is impressive. But besides, the joke (whether intentionally or intentionally), “The Beast” shows how deep the pool is along the defensive line – Dane has among his best 100 defensive edges and 11 defensive lines. There are plenty of defensive pulleys per TOP 100, who are also capable appetizers.
Two classes surprised me: Marshall Edge Mike Green has every athletic gift needed to be 10, but I’m sure a lot of teams will be seriously investigated after Green faces two accusations of sexual assault (one in college, one in high school; The second is Texas A&M Edge Nothing Scourton in 59. Maybe it was more based on a total position depth than Scourton’s shortcomings, but I think Scourton is more of a view from the first round.
In Nick’s last ridicule, his first line is after the Ward Handing to the Titans: “To be clear, I wouldn’t do it.” So … what should Titani do at the top of the design?
Baumgardner: Titans are not a quarterback far from being a play -off team. Three of the last five first rounds in Tennessee (Isaiah Wilson, Caleb Farley, Treylon Burks) were busts; Two of them (Wilson, Farley) are gone. This team needs complete tearing, directly on the studs. If you start this process with a newcomer Quarterback-generation prospect or will not be very difficult for this player and finally for the first year of GM he chose.
It will be difficult for Tennessee to trade in this selection, but I would still try to make an agreement on the phone until the last second. If I couldn’t find him, I would take the best player on the record. Objectively, Travis Hunter and/or Abdul Carter are always placed higher than Ward.
Start your rebuilding with a smaller bug range. That’s my suggestion.
Desktan: The enforcement of Quarterback on No. 1 may be chaotic, especially if there is no clear consensus. As far as Quarterback is concerned, team officials often interpret their design and target needs – and Tennessee seems to be on this journey. This approach tends to lead to the elaboration of quarterbacks who rarely produce for bowls such as Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray. Ward is right now.
If I am the new CEO of Titans Mike Borganzi, I am a fourth round trader in Atlanta for Kirk Cousins. According to Spotrac, Titani has the fourth highest space for the league cap and Cousins has the potential to hold for one year. Then I would try to trade best.
If nothing came into it, I would suggest Carter No. 1. Titani surrendered last season the sixth most rushing yards and had the third smallest bags. Carter is an appetizer a day that would help in both areas. Then I would propose QBS Tyler South, Jalen Milroe or Jaxson Dart in Viewpoints 2. Bikes and Eye Potential 2026.
Still (!!) we are waiting for Aaron Rodgers to find out his future NFL. Sanders reportedly had a visit to visit this week. Call: Where do two QB play in 2025?
Baumgardner: I will say that both Rodgers and Sanders are the next year Steelers. You are not sure if this is the best place for Rodgers, but I think it’s the best for Sanders.
I really like the idea that Sanders landed with the Steelers and got a chance to learn and adapt to the NFL. If Rodgers are in Pittsburgh on a one -year agreement and understand the situation, I would like to fit. I let Sanders go to Steelers on No. 21 in my last fake (which did not appear shops). If Sanders falls outside the TOP 10, Pittsburgh should not be afraid, if necessary, move on the board.
Assuming that Rodgers can admit that he is 41 years old and in a position to be a real example for a talented young Quarterback, this could be a great situation. If there is a QB-NEVYLEKING team that is actually a Quarterback since some noise, it’s Pittsburgh.
Desktan: The best scenario for both Quarterbacks is right in Pittsburgh. Rodgers was not so bad for the Jets last year, especially during the last 10 games, when he threw 18 landings and only four wiretaps. It would be a surrogate symbol, but it would also be a better choice than the Steelers had since the middle of the penultimate season of Ben Roethlisberger in 2020.
There is also no better place for Sanders. He dealt with his share in the reflector in Colorado while playing for his father, but the opportunity to sit behind Rodgers and play for a strong leader like Mike Tomlin, removed the pressure accompanied by the first round of Quarterbacks. Then the club could focus on it as a starter in 2026.
This week we soon looked at the potential free class of free agents.
Baumgardner: Let’s see if Jerry Jones ever gets to admit that he actually knows the name of Agent Micah Parsons. In addition, I am quite fascinated when I see what the final number of Parsons will be, because it will be a huge domino at one of the most important positions of the game.
As for the players who could be available, I wonder what Detroit is doing with Kerby Joseph. The lions were very clever about the fact that they did not increase too much in the free agency, and had already invested heavily in Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Alim McNeill. They are also currently working to extend Aidan Hutchinson and Brian Branch, Sam Laporta and Jahmyr Gibbs could end with expensive shops. It will be interesting to find out where the lions will place Joseph in his talented young.
Purdy chose! Kerby Joseph grabs his 8 int year.

Another would be the Rangers of Jets Alijah Vera-Tocker. Between 2022 and 2023 he played only 12 combined games, but last season he was very good and began to look as if New York’s talent thought it was when it took him in the first round. Looks like he could turn around and become one of the better guards in the NFL, but did enough to convince the new front office Jets, should get what could be quite expensive extension?
Desktan: There are plenty of big names, but it’s not worth discussing veterans such as Mike Evans and Derrick Henry, who do not select anything more than two years in the future. But there are three or four that really raise my interest.
San Francisco Quarterback Brock Purdy stands out for playing at a young age in the first three seasons – and negotiations that were for 49ers. As a selection of the seventh round 2022, Purdy stands a fraction of what is paid for the next initial Quarterbacks, but is also ready to hit the free agency a year earlier. 49ers as Purdy, but are they willing to pay more than $ 40 million a year? We’ll see.
Seattle’s Riq Woolen has the physical features of the elite corner and I would not be surprised if he was treated on the all-for territory.
The offensive solution of Rashawn Slater and Bernhard Raimann are at different stages, but have interesting stories. On Slater, will the chargers pay after last year’s Joe Alt two elite tools? And Raimann comes from Austria, where he served in the army before playing football in Western Michigan – it seems to be significantly improving every year.
