Post FA Mock Draft

[Corbin]

Cap left 2025 30.5 mill / Cap left 2026 80.8 mill
2025 NFL DRAFT:

​

Jags Trade 36, 88, 194, Rams Trade 26



2nd Rd. Pick 36 TE Colston Loveland Michigan:
Colston Loveland is a long and lean tight end prospect with excellent overall athleticism. He is a natural receiving tight end who was grossly under-used throughout his collegiate career. He aligned all over the formation for the Wolverines but was at his best operating detached from the line of scrimmage and in the slot. Loveland is a smooth mover with good speed off the line of scrimmage. He is a long strider who quickly chews up grass and gets down the field. He flashes very good overall straight-line speed and has the ability to stretch the seam vertically. Even though the NFL is a passing league, tight ends are still required to block, and that is where Lovland leaves you wanting more. He does not have sufficient strength at the point of attack and does not generate movement when attached. He is a position-and-wall-off blocker who does play with effort in this phase, but ultimately, he is best used as a detached weapon rather than your traditional “Y” tight end. Overall, Loveland has an exciting receiving profile that is a perfect fit for today’s NFL. His lack of physicality as a blocker may limit him as an every-down player, but his pass-game upside will still have NFL decision-makers giddy.

3rd Rd. Pick 88 LB Chris Paul Jr. Ole Miss:
Chris Paul is a versatile linebacker with the speed and instincts to impact all phases of the game. At 6’1”, 235 pounds, he combines sideline-to-sideline range with exceptional tackling and strong hand usage. His natural feel for spacing helps him disrupt passing lanes, while his precise angles and sure tackling make him a reliable defender in pursuit.

3rd Rd. Pick 90 CB Dorian Strong VA Tech:
Dorian Strong is a skilled and instinctive cornerback who excels in man coverage but is also more than competent in zone coverage schemes. He possesses fluid hips, quick feet, and strong closing speed, allowing him to stick with receivers and disrupt passing lanes. Strong's ball skills stand out, as he consistently tracks the ball and makes plays on it in contested situations. He plays with physicality at the line of scrimmage, using his length effectively to disrupt routes. Strong’s football IQ and anticipation enable him to read quarterbacks and jump routes but can also make him vulnerable if he mistimes the play or double moves. Additionally, adding strength will allow him to handle bigger receivers and further enhance his game as a lockdown defender.

3rd Rd. Pick 101 DT Joshua Farmer Florida State:
Joshua Farmer is a disruptive and high-motor defensive lineman with a strong blend of power and athleticism. He plays with excellent leverage and hand technique, allowing him to shed blockers and disrupt plays in the backfield. Farmer’s quick first step and ability to generate push make him a force in both pass-rushing situations and run defense. He has the versatility to line up in multiple spots along the defensive front, adding to his value. However, improving his consistency in play recognition and block disengagement will help him take the next step. His effort and physicality make him a key defensive asset.

4th Rd. Pick 127 OT Chase Lundt UConn:
Chase Lundt is an athletic and technically proficient offensive tackle known for his exceptional movement skills and versatility. He excels in pass protection, utilizing quick footwork and fluid lateral movement to effectively mirror edge rushers. In the run game, Lundt demonstrates a strong understanding of blocking angles, making him particularly effective in zone-blocking schemes. His ability to reach the second level and engage linebackers showcases his agility and field awareness. However, to maximize his impact, Lundt needs to add mass and strength, as his current build may limit his effectiveness against more powerful defenders.

6th Rd. Pick 190 LB Jamon Dumas Johnson Kentucky:
Jamon Dumas-Johnson is an underrated linebacker whose skill set should translate well to the NFL despite a likely Day 3 selection in the 2025 draft. The Kentucky defender combines explosive short-area movement, linear speed, and sharp pursuit angles in coverage with impressive play strength and physicality against the run. His natural instincts and ability to navigate blockers make him a promising prospect at the next level.

6th Rd Pick 194 CB Zah Frazier UTSA:
Zah Frazier is a former junior college All-American but has only one year of starting experience at the FBS level. Outstanding size and length. Good press corner who wins those reps at a high level due to his length and physicality. Frazier was primarily used as an outside corner at UTSA. Long strider who can cover lots of ground. He possesses natural acceleration paired with excellent long speed. Very good tackler. Only missed two tackles this season and has a career 5.6% missed tackle rate. Physical player who isn’t afraid of taking on contact. An active run defender who can make plays in that department. Does an excellent job of limiting big plays when targeted. Above-average ball skills. Had six interceptions and five pass breakups in 2024.

6th Rd Pick 195 WR D'onte Thornton Tennessee:
Dont'e Thornton is an explosive playmaking deep threat who can stretch the defense vertically with his elite speed. He has a chance to be one of the faster receivers in the NFL. Played in an offense that will raise questions about his route tree and production. He is a big-play threat, having led the FBS with 25.4 yards per reception and six touchdowns on just 26 receptions in 2024. Career volume is a concern, with only 65 receptions in total across his four seasons at Oregon and Tennessee.

6th Rd Pick 201 OT Jalen Travis Iowa State:
Jalen Travis plays with a wide, powerful base and can physically overwhelm edge rushers. He gets off the line better than you’d think for a guy his size, is light on his feet, and has a very good kick-step. He doesn’t naturally play with great leverage but doesn’t always need to because of his size and length. Travis is a skilled, nimble pass blocker who is a strong anchor and has proven to be a reliable blindside protector. He plays with wide hands which can be an issue going against more technically skilled pass rushes. Travis is an above-average athlete who looks good at blocking in space. He excelled at Princeton for three seasons before transferring to Iowa State for his final season.

6th Rd Pick 202 RB Donovan Edwards Michigan:
Donovan Edwards is a dynamic and versatile running back with playmaking ability as both a rusher and receiver. He possesses good vision, quick acceleration, and fluid agility, allowing him to navigate through defense. Edwards runs with a smooth yet explosive style, displaying the ability to make sharp cuts and break tackles in the open field. As a pass-catcher, he is a natural route runner with reliable hands, making him a valuable weapon in the passing game. Consistency is the biggest knock on him, but he also does not play to his size, which hurts him when working through contact or as a blocker. He has the tools to be a good running back but is a developmental project to have success.

[OldSchool]

Like this! Loveland being there that late will be interesting to see though Not a huge Edwards fan but I get you are going to grab a Michigan guy Also probably grab a guard/center somebody like Luke Kandra.

I was just telling @Allen2McVay that Trapilo and Lundt were my 2 favorite swing tackle eventual RT successor candidates in the 3rd/4th range.

 

[JonRam99]

Getting playmakers in this draft will be essential, and none more important than at TE. I suspect Loveland will still be there, lots of interest in the QB's this draft.
I like that Thornton kid, he's got really good tape. Doesn't run a route tree? who cares w/ that size & speed, he doesn't need to. His small sample size is prolly what's holding him down the draft order, otherwise those highlights are legit.
Rolling with KW and Blake will be quite a test for our backfield, though. I hoping that we can find a legit RB speed threat too. Pick 101 might be a good spot for Tuten.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Knocked it out of the park. Even with underrated picks like the developmental noise tackle and offensive tackle. I'd come away ecstatic for the season to start.

 

[Londoner]

I suspect Loveland will still be there, lots of interest in the QB's this draft.

Huh?

If anything, it's the other way around: everyone is saying this is a weak draft for quarterbacks and, as a result, other offensive positions will be overdrafted. If Loveland is still there at 36, I'll eat my proverbial hat.

With regards to the draft itself, it would be fantastic but that first pick just seems highly implausible.

 

[fanotodd]

Has anybody told Dorian Strong that he has been unanimously mocked to the Rams? Is the Rams FO reading this? Give the people (on ROD) what they want!

 

[Memento]

Would love this draft, but I don’t even think Loveland makes it to #26.

 

[Corbin]

Thanks for the comments all!

This is the part of draft/off season I love past FA and things start coming together! Decided to come with a serious mock unlike trading Stafford.

I been reading/hearing lately Loveland falls in the draft. I personally don’t believe he will fall past the Broncos just like last year I thought they take a QB. Something tells me just like last year Asshole Face either drafts Loveland at their spot or trades up into the back half of the first/beginning of second and gets him.

I didn’t have time for commentary as I had to take off for a birthday party.

I used a draft model and played that at least 1 of 6 players that are musts I would draft and would drop to me at 2-36. Just so happens one of 6 was Loveland, as I felt him and Egbuka were the two least likely to be there at 36. (Used PFN)

However that did enable me to add value and draft CP2 and that’s a value all in itself as we all know past our visit to Philly in January we need to address that f’n ILB room. No more 40+ give me touchdowns.

I full heartedly feel we do something like this 85% likely. (Trade back a bit with 5-7 similarly graded talents/in positions of need and draft one of them)

Usually Benjamin Morrison, Omarion Hampton, Kenneth Grant are on my targets list with the trade back.

Luke Kendra has been my target in these mocks too and Would love him! Lundt just screams to me as a McVay system type of OT. Smart, versatile, athletic, powerful enough to get the job done and not be a liability, very consistent. I’ve really think he’s going to be special.

Come on man! Honestly though, Edwards is a lot like a one trick pony but his fucking trick is perfect change of pace we’d need to change a game and set of downs/homerun for us. Plus he’d be beast at the return game!

Dude I can’t believe no one has Thornton rated higher. He’s like a big Tutu that can take the top off a defense. Under McVay he'd be a fucking beast! That is what we have left in this draft for the WR is someone to take the top off the defense ( sorry TUTU no faith)

Loveland I think has a high chance being drafted by asshole face. He’s a Jimmy Graham type of TE but needs to bulk up some.

Knocked it out of the park. Even with underrated picks like the developmental noise tackle and offensive tackle. I'd come away ecstatic for the season to start.

Dude if we build a rotation at DT and have a run specialist fuck who knows how high we can go. That’s our Achilles.

The question is when will the TE’s start coming off, particularly when Warren is taken. Have a feeling Broncos might snag him. Also maybe Eagles at 32 if he falls?

Has anybody told Dorian Strong that he has been unanimously mocked to the Rams? Is the Rams FO reading this? Give the people (on ROD) what they want!

Haha he’s met with us for sure and he seems like a natural fit with our two picks in the back of the 3rd tbh.

Would love this draft, but I don’t even think Loveland makes it to #26.

You and me both. I’d take freaking Morrison there though, he’s probably going to be in that area up to 36.

Ps
Anyone know much about Darien Porter? Haven’t heard much of him but the little I have heard sounds more and more underrated and pretty impressive.

Darien Porter is a dynamic and versatile athlete with exceptional speed and fluidity, having made the transition from wide receiver to defensive back while in college. His elite burst, and top-end speed allow him to cover significant ground. Porter’s background as a receiver means he displays strong ball-tracking skills and has the ability to close gaps quickly on defense. His length and agility add to his upside, particularly in contested situations. While continuing to refine his technique, both in terms of playing cornerback and when tackling, his raw athleticism and adaptability make him a high-ceiling player with exciting potential. Entering the league at 25, he will need to develop his skills quickly to maximize his physical peak.

Huge fan of Porter, but he’s rising; people have him as a top fifty pick.

Yeah, hard to think Loveland drops to the Broncos but absolutely think that's his floor. The Engram signing is a bandaid and Payton's offense works best with a dynamic TE in it (though I think Warren is prob their dream guy).

Idk man I kinda see Loveland more a Peyton guy myself.. have a feeling Warren goes before to Indy @14 but every draft there are players that people every year say “ how did they fall this far?”

Just because it doesn’t have top end QB talent etc. doesn’t mean there isn’t going to be teams that start trading around for playmakers that fit their system and there’s a drop off from the guys behind them.

The “ draft experts” are wrong for my take, you don’t trad route or move for premier talent you stay pay and take that talent but in a draft such as this, I think there is going to be quite a few trades compared to last year in the first.

We can test my theory right soon.

I'm by no means an expert on Payton but I think traditionally he likes the inline guy who can do everything from blocking to being a big target over the middle and on the boundary.

This draft will be interesting, I can see the story for minimal trades and less so for a bunch. I think the one thing generally agreed on is how flat the draft is in the first and if that's the case, do you let the draft come to you, try to trade down (need a partner) or (less likely) just look to fill the need by trading up to the top 12 where they is a talent cliff.

Here is the thing people parrot so called experts that have draft podcasts on YouTube or podcasts. Warren is a Pro ready blocker right now, he’s very good, as Loveland isn’t perfect but he’s not bad either. Michigans offense doesn’t do a lot of passing and the rare times he’s inline pass blocking I’ll admit he needs to learn some from a Pro System and coach compared to his run blocking.

However, he’s usually out in route with for passing plays.

Describing someone who needs a bit of work on blocking concepts and describing him as not being a blocking TE compared to Warren is who is a top tier blocking TE is a bit of a freaking stretch and a bit disingenuous.


Payton could definitely mold him pretty damn well.

Also, I present to you Jimmy Grahams scouting report, see anything similar in the weaknesses part?

3rd Rd. Pick 101 DT Joshua Farmer Florida State:

This is a nice draft! And, I think Farmer may be my favorite part of it. IMO, I think the Rams D-line is a player away from being elite, depth wise. I think he is capable of generating the same type of pressure that Turner and Fiske do. I have seen plays where he literally tosses a lineman to the side like Donald used to do.

IMO Ram fans are focusing a bit too much on other positions of need this draft and ignoring Sneads history.

Adding a guy like Farmer or picking the top of the draft with a guy like Kenneth Grant would make this line unstoppable with quality of depth and adding anti run and pass specialists only helps the depth of rotation. Grant and Farmer who is both is icing on the cake and a specific shot against our NFC playoff rivals.

What part of Snead's history suggests a pick like Farmer?

His interviews and His actions stating his strategies in those interviews.
