With the draft of the NFL a few weeks, it is time to dive more in some of the most fascinating and certainly the most talented perspectives.
Following a series of conversations with respected assessors, we consider three best quarters and three wide receivers – each could come to your team soon.
It’s time to put the story at rest: Sanders is a good athlete. It is a pure pocket smuggler who, as a current setting, told Fox Sports, “essentially launches a transfer of 20 yards”. No, he’s not a runner, but it doesn’t mean that he lacks mobility. Sanders is more than capable of moving the pocket and extending games. Both in Jackson State and Colorado, he worked behind underwater offensive lines and still made things happen.
“One of the keys to the very young quarter-Arrière is to be able to define your game,” said the executive. “And I’m not just talking about having a strong arm or being a leader. I’m talking about where the third-to-thirds pressure comes from, knowing who is hot and beating a rusher or a rusher by the corner if necessary. This is where Shemer excels. Quarter.”
The identification of the potential landing points for Sanders has become one of the most discussed scenarios of the 2025 project. Although it is largely planned that Cam Ward Ira n ° 1 in Tennessee, there are more debates on Sanders.
Cleveland could it take it at n ° 2? Perhaps – but Travis Hunter seems to be the favorite. Then there are the Giants, who added Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, but have a press under pressure to win now. If the giants go in a different direction – say, Abdul Carter – the next logical landing point for Sanders could be New Orleans at No. 9.
The raiders, for what is worth, in Sanders who comes to their building next week for a visit and will hold the overall choice n ° 6. After that, there is a gap.
From n ° 10 to 20, there is no QB Claire destination. But at n ° 21, Pittsburgh is seated there – and that they land Aaron Rodgers, they should take a quarter at some point in this project. Could it be Sanders? They should visit him on Thursday, I am told. This subject will dominate the headlines until the day of the draft, and as we sit here today, there is no clear answer.
There are teams who like Dart and believe that it is worthy of a selection in the first round – a feeling that has grown in recent weeks. Scouts use words as “precise”, “intelligent” and “hard” by talking about him.
“I think that with DART, you must assess last season of its first last season, in particular its year at the USC,” said a veteran scout of the EFC East.
At this point, the 21 -year -old comes out of an exceptional senior campaign in Oxford – Amant nearly 4,300 yards, 29 touched and only six interceptions, while winning the honors of the first SEC team. Dart has completed his collegial career as a leader of all time of the school in total offense, while helping to guide the rebels to a file of 21-5 in his last two seasons.
“He is a completely different player now,” said the scout. “I almost launch his early band, in the same way as I did with Jayden Daniels before LSU. He made real progress – and I think Lane Kiffin played a big role on this subject.”
Another profile of Dart that stands out: leadership. Sources say that he has personally recruited a large part of the Ole Miss transfer class, passing late in Kiffin’s office calling the gate players, launching the program and selling the vision. This type of leadership does not always appear on a band, but the NFL teams appreciate it – and this is a great reason why many consider it as a set of culture at the next level.
For Milroe, the process is simple: find a team that fully believes. Because there are a lot to work – bizarre athletics, revolution speed, a deep high -end ball and the ability to dissect the cover of the area.
“He has a super strong arm – even according to NFL standards,” said the AFC East scout. “Good contact on the long ball. He just needs more rehearsals and time to refine his superposition … See more defenses, look at more adhesive tape. Think of more football in general. It will come.”
Milroe interviewed well, and even some clubs that are not heavy are intrigued. Several teams believe that it is worth a choice somewhere in the 20-50 range because of its advantage. After recent private training with the Browns and the Saints that have been deemed “impressive”, Milroe, according to sources, has to come to come with the Giants, Rams and Seahawks.
“This is one of those guys – if you see it, you will look for it,” added the scout. “He might not start day 1, but in this quarter course, his ceiling is too high to ignore.”
There is no doubt that McMillan will be a good NFL receiver. The question is whether it can become a big one. At 6-4, 219 pounds, “T-Mac” is an easy composition in the future temple of Mike Evans renown.
A framework for a team in the 2024 playoffs explains why: “He has real tools at the stars and an elite production. Our entire building loves him. There is simply no way to happen to us.”
McMillan is considered a first -round lock that could go as high as the top 10.
The star of the combine harvester, Golden ran a 4.29 yard dashboard of 40 yards and could have locked a place in the first round because of this. But there is more in his game than speed.
Everyone in the Texas program says the same thing: natural leader, the coherent worker and the interpreter of big game. At the bottom of the season, Golden delivered in the clutch – including several critical catches in the quarter -final victory in Texas against Arizona State.
“I think he is one of those guys who did not realize how good he could be at first,” said a director of scouting of colleges. “But once he started to find success, he wanted more. He continued to work. The staff there likes him. But even they couldn’t expect 4.29.”
During the discussion of the best receivers of this class, Egbuka belongs to the conversation. Statistically the most productive receiver in the history of the Ohio state, the 6 feet 1 inch and 202 pounds has a set of skills ready for the NFL.
Egbuka offers real versatility. He played mainly in the university slit, but is the size and the strength to line up outside. His game is polite – smooth versions, a net game and an advanced sensation for the traffic race. He understands how to sit in areas and disguise his intention from security – from the features that separate good receptors from large. This is why he is a candidate to spend day 1.
“Egbuka could be the most underestimated attacking player in the draft right now,” according to a current Big Ten coach who compared him favorably to Amon-Ra St. Brown, All-Ra St. Brown. “He is intelligent as s —. In the staff” 12 “, he also came out.
