With college football kicking off, let's project the first round of the 2025 draft. Could we see three QBs taken? Will NFL teams pursue defense early?
Field Yates is a fantasy football expert and NFL draft analyst for ESPN. You can find him on Fantasy Football Now on Sunday mornings and regularly on NFL Live throughout the week, as well as the Fantasy Focus and First Draft podcasts. A graduate of Wesleyan University and native of Weston, Mass., Yates has previous experience interning with the New England Patriots on both their coaching and scouting staffs.The usual caveats apply. It's early.
Left tackle is not to be ignored, but it'd be hard to pass on Williams, who would present the Commanders with a defensive building block after trading awayin October. Williams has uncommon traits with his fantastic blend of length and power, proving to be a dominant presence well beyond the box score -- he's a better rusher than his 4.5 sacks in 2023 would suggest. I believe he's scheme-versatile enough to fit in anywhere, and he would be a welcome addition for new coach Dan Quinn.
Campbell became a Day 1 starter at LSU at left tackle and may well end up on the left side in the NFL, but this pick would allow the Saints optionality. Campbell has great length and quick feet, but he must improve his power and finishing ability. The Browns' roster is in very good shape, but fortifying the tackle position for the long term is important; startershave dealt with injuries. While Jones is still putting it all together as a pass protector, he is a bully in the running game who loves to impose his physical will. Like his LSU teammate Will Campbell, Jones shows the requisite tools to be a longtime NFL starter, just needing to play with slightly more consistency as a pass protector.
I had the interior offensive line as an area of need for the Dolphins in this past draft, though the team opted against taking anyone there this year. Adding the 6-5, 330-pound Savaiinaea would address it in a literal big way, as the hulking Arizona tackle could easily move inside full time. He has the feet to thrive at tackle, but his raw power and ability to create rushing lanes should translate to the pros at guard. Stay out of his way or you might get flattened.
It's hard to find a place on the Green Bay roster where there isn't a young building block; hats off to GM Brian Gutekunst and his staff there. So how about a bet on a pass rusher with serious upside?
