Each NFL draft is, in its own way, the craziest project.
We have never just raised our shoulders at the end of the recovery weekend and we say: “Meh, enough without incident. Another yawning. Nothing to do here.”
No, each recent memory project has been a chaotic reality TV show, defying prediction and reshaping the League in a manner before.

In fact, even the drafts that fall out Recent memory seems to be quite wild. The first player selected in the inaugural draft of the League, Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago, refused to sign with any team – And, in fact, his situation was not so unusual. Of the 81 players selected during the first draft in 1936, only 24 finally decided to play in the League.

From there, things have not become stranger. This is the reason why this event is by far the biggest intersane show in any major sport.
We are only 32 choices (and several breathtaking trades) In the recovery of 2025 and the league is already hilarious. The fantastic landscape was of course changed. Let's review the biggest points to remember in the round, starting with Reinvention of the rear field of raiders::
Ashton Jeanty, choice of potential fantasy in the first round
Hey, listen, we did it with various other less quality recruiters over the years, certainly with mixed results.

Jeanty is an undeniable talent that comes out of a historic collegial season and he just landed in a place offering almost unlimited litters. Raiders' head coach Pete Carroll is trying to run the ball all day, every day, deep in the night. Oc Chip Kelly is perfectly ready to do the same. There is a very real coincidence that Jeanty can lead the NFL in touch.
Here is a quick reminder of its capacity for a tackle splash:
Just in case you are curious, the recruit of the recruit in a NFL season is 1,808 yards, established by Eric Dickerson in 1983. We are not ready to say that the record is seriously threatened, but, well … we did Take the time to search for it.
Omarion Hampton is now the choice n ° 2 locked in the Recruit Dynasty projects
Jeanty was a running back on the classification of this year's draft class and Hampton was the next level, all alone. He is a murderer with an ability to escape and references, and a pair of huge college seasons to his credit. He will feast on an offense Greg Romanesque-Jim Harbaugh commissioned.

Najee Harris will obviously be a short -term nuisance, but let's look at the road. Hampton is built in the laboratory to be a star runner in the NFL and he heads for a privileged place. Let's give him a huge slice of 195 races that belonged to JK Dobbins last season and enjoy the party.
Unfortunately, our fantastic dreams of Tyler Warren are destroyed
Welp, Indianapolis has indeed taken another fascinating competence player and threw him into the wooden shredder (metaphorically). No one apart from the pure and hard of Colts wanted to see Warren or Colston Loveland sent to this particular wasteland, but it was a commonly written scenario. Alas. A tight end of the first year to face Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson at the controls is far from optimal.
Calvin Ridley, You are a winning draft
Look, Ridley certainly has his problems. We are not promising a top 10 season. He is a devious player who has had unfortunate drops and bobbles in the past two seasons, and he is now attached to a quarter-arre recruit.

But Wow The quarter-back situation of Tennessee was terrible last season. As a team, the Titans ranked second in interceptions (21), 29th in a passer note (80.7) and 26th during the passage (195.1 YPG). Officially, they also ranked first in game discharge errors by QB. Cam Ward may not be the most exciting perspective of passage we have seen in recent seasons, but he has a lot of arms talent and he is not afraid to trigger him. His arrival improves all the offense of Tennessee, in particular his threat n ° 1.
Application promotion project
Trevor Lawrence, you are also a winner
Yeah, we are definitely back on Lawrence. Apologies to enemies.

The Lawrence team has just added one of the most dynamic and exciting game leaders in this project in the reception room, while meeting two clear needs with only one choice (with a player on a recruit). THE mega trade that landed Maybe actually a little crazy, but it's hard not to admire Jacksonville's great swing. The idea of defending a jaguars offense which has both Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter on the field is only a complete nightmare. Totally impossible.
Let us not forget that Lawrence is only 25 years old and he has already acquired a position finish in the Top 8 in fantasy. He now has a pair of lethal weapons at his disposal. This man is victorious.
Caleb Williams and Bryce Young also get fantastic bumps
Williams already had a fine off -season, with the Bears aggressively reconstructing their offensive line via the Libre Agency and the Trades. His team spent the 10th choice in total on Colston Loveland, a tight game of creating games Inqumet which can emphasize the defenses at all levels. The choice does not necessarily meet an urgent team need, but Loveland is excellent, a potential top-8 player with a deep position.
Young was a second half revelation of his second season, offering 15 touchdown in his last six games while working with a gallery of receivers. The addition of Tetairoa McMillan was a gift. Carolina shouted for a legitimate X and he made a good one.
