It took a while, but we finally did it – the NFL 2025 draft came and left. Let's examine how last week had an impact on the passage matches around the league and examine what the values of fantastic football are increasing and in the fall.
Cursors
Caleb Williams, QB, Bears
Talk about a well -necessary offensive youthful treatment, the Bears have certainly obtained it. It was first the hiring of Detroit OC Ben Johnson, then it improved the offensive line when the league calendar opened its doors. A strong push. But the objective of giving Williams all aid continued during the project, Chicago adding a tight impact (Colston Loveland) and a DJ Moore-Clone to Luther Burden III aggressively. Williams sailed a disorderly first year when things were constantly in flow – three different men called Plays for the Bears – but he has all the toys to succeed.

Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills
Shakir has already been a winner when he signed an extension of four years at the end of February, observing $ 60.2 million in this agreement. But Buffalo confirmed his faith in Shakir by ignoring the position of the wide receiver to the draft, silent at this place other than a seventh lap leaflet with Kaden Prather. Shakir's 76-821-4 line from 2024 probably represents his soil, if he is in good health, in 2025. He will enter his 25-year season and Josh Allen is still at his peak.
Bryce Young, QB, Panthers
This did not happen overnight, but Young really cooked in the Dave Canales offensive in the last stages of 2024. He posted a smuggler of more than 100 in his last three departures, and even if you push the sample for two months, Young was productive (12 affected, only three choices, 91.7, only 19 bags). Imagine now what Young could do with an improved support cast. Carolina finally won a possible target n ° 1 with the Tetairoa McMillan recruit (eighth choice in total), and the panthers were aggressive by adding to the back room (Chubbard Returns chubbard, Rico Dowdle was signed, Trevor Etienne was written).
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jaguars
Lawrence has already been a winner when the jaguars prompted the guru of the Liam Coen offensive to take the job of head coach, but things really had fun when Jacksonville pushed all-in and moved to Travis Hunter with the overall choice n ° 2. Brian Thomas Jr. was discovered throughout her recruit season. Hunter also flies away as a winner – its fantastic value would have been troubled in Cleveland, given the uncertain state of this quarter -back room.
CJ Stroud, QB, Texans
Stroud would like to throw all the time 2024 in the shredder, and unfortunately the Texans exchanged the choice of first round. However, Houston has rebuilt the offense – and Stroud's confidence – selecting a line player and two receivers with his first four selections. The veterans receiver Christian Kirk was added to a free agency. New Oc Nick Camous plans to give Stroud More freedom at the melee line this season.

Kyle Williams, WR, Patriots
Third -round receptors are generally longer for fantasy than anything else, but Williams enters a situation where he could be productive right away. The Patriots cry for impact receivers, and QB Drake Maye was ready and confident throughout his year recruited, although he does not have a lot of help. It is not difficult to imagine that Williams is potentially the receiver No. 2 in this offense, following only Stefon Diggs. Keep in mind Williams played five years of university ballHe therefore enters the league with more polished than the typical recruit.
Jack Bech, WR, Raiders
Raiders are looking for a pass to intensify after Te God Brock Bowers and reliable Wr Jakobi Meyers, so Beck could absorb 85-100 targets right away. Perhaps the increase in Geno Smith is a quarter of the league, but it is an improvement in what this offense was linked to last season. Bech was good enough to play considerably in LSU in the first year, and his last year in TCU (62-1034-9) offered a constant drum.
Holder
Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, WRS, Browns
You can write 1,000 pages on the quarter-arrier room Wacky Cleveland (Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, Sheder Sanders, and I assume that we could mention Deshaun Watson) but the Browns have not added to their group of receivers. Jeudy emerged as a legitimate n ° 1 option last season, collecting a 90-1 229-4 line and making its first Pro Bowl. Tillman and the very traveled Diontae Johnson are jostling for the receiver position n ° 2, although this offense is generously at its talented ends (David Njoku and the recruit Harold Fannin Jr.). Jerry Jeudy, stability piece? No one saw this to come a year ago.
Marvin Mims Jr. and Devaughn Vele, Wrs, Broncos
Although broncos have been linked to a number of large large and tight ends for the project, only the third -round receiver, Pat Bryant, landed under this umbrella. It is a vote of confidence in Mims and Vele, which both increased in the last quarter while Bo Nix was starting to spread his wings. Mims has achieved six affected in the last seven games, including a push of 13-154-4 in the last two weeks. He is an interesting candidate for an escape from year 3.
Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, WRS, Titans
Although Tennessee started the draft with QB Cam Ward first, he did not twin with a brilliant recruit receiver – the Titans ignored the position of the first two days. Thus, Ridley is a virtual lock to direct this team again in targets, and Lockett has obviously signed with a team that will use it generously. Ridley enters his 30 -year season and Lockett will be 32 years old in September, so this room could use fresh painting. Look for titans to write an impact widely next year.
Garrett Wilson, Wr, Jets
Wilson was not the happiest guy at the end of last season, watching the circus of Aaron Rodgers and being pushed by Davante Adams. Wilson will return to the undisputed alpha status this year, and for all that you think of the new QB Justin Fields, at least he has past experience with Wilson, dating from their Two years of Ohio State together. For the first time during its four years as a pro, Wilson enters the fantastic draft season as a projected value.
Jonnu Smith, Te, Dolphins
The shocking break of Smith 2024 (88-884-8) came out of nowhere, an explosion in its fourth judgment of the NFL. Dolphins intend to make it go back, because Miami did not write a single passes sensor last week. It seems a little wild to say it out loud, but Smith could be the most stable part of the current Miami passee game.
Thief
Jalen McMillan, WR, Buccaneers
McMillan was one of the heroes of the fantastic qualifying series, ending the season with a frenzy 24-316-7 in his last five games. Whenever a recruit gathers like that, you start to dream of the next one. But the Buccaneers were able to keep the free agent Chris Godwin, the star Mike Evans is still there, and the polite receiver of Ohio, Emeka Egbuka, was written in the first round. This is a whole excellent news if you smooth Baker Mayfield in a guardian format, but that McMillan's fantastic value surely takes a hit with all these developments. Make sure to check the trafficking report – there is a fatty blocking in the Tampa Bay receiver room.
Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys
Most of the simulations had cowboys addressing the wide receiver slit at the start of the draft, but Dallas completely ignored the position with its nine choices. Ceedee Lamb remains one of the real alpha receivers of the League, but the collection of options behind him is just not good enough. Prescott himself is a Nige player, preparing for his 10th NFL season. It is hard to believe that he was the MVP finalist only two years ago.

Tyler Warren, Te, Colts
Warren was a god from Radius to Penn State, encompassing 104 receptions in his last year on campus. But its amplitude of motion will be tested with the colts, because Anthony Richardson was a structural mess (50.6% of completions) for two years. Daniel Jones is there to push Richardson-maybe it's an upgrade, maybe this is not the case.
To be fair, sometimes talents win, it doesn't matter who is there – Brock Bowers reminded us of this in Las Vegas last season. But for all the Bowers and Sam Laporta (2023) which frants as a recruit, the league is strewn with first -year -old ends which need an adjustment time. Warren will probably be confronted with this too, even if it is not entirely his fault.
