| 0:00.0 | Back to the war room, we go. Mel Kuyper and Field Gates are turning back the clocks to redraft |
| 0:06.5 | the top 10 picks of the 2025 draft. That's coming up. Plus, as always, we respond to your questions, |
| 0:12.7 | your takes, and your draft dreams live as first draft starts right now. Hello again, |
| 0:19.2 | everybody. And if we seem particularly fired up, it's because we are. |
| 0:23.0 | We have a terrific show set for you today with Mel and Field and me greening as we get you set all week, every week here for the upcoming NFL draft. |
| 0:31.7 | And this week, rather than looking forward, which we normally do, we're going to look back. |
| 0:36.4 | We're going to look back at the week gone by. No, excuse me, we're going to look back at the season gone by and the |
| 0:42.0 | draft gone by and figure out who was it that got it right and who was it that got it wrong. So |
| 0:46.8 | before we start diving into the redraft, I want to start with a little no huddle here. Field, I'll |
| 0:52.3 | start with you. All right. Give us a 35,000 foot view of the 2025 NFL draft class a little more than |
| 1:00.9 | halfway into their first season. Generally speaking, what are we seeing as the trends that stand |
| 1:06.7 | out, the good, the bad, the ugly, and anything in between? A reminder that guys who can be amongst the most highly criticized players at their |
| 1:15.0 | respective positions during the pre-draft process can be just fine. And a reminder of the |
| 1:20.1 | guys that are considered the surest of things can also need a little bit of time to get |
| 1:24.3 | there. I'll use a couple of players to make that example. Throughout the pre-draft process, one of the biggest question marks was, is Tenor-Mick-Millan fast enough to even go in the first half of the first round? Well, as of right now, he leads all rookie-wide receivers with 64 catches. He has the most receiving yards of all rookie receivers. He's just behind to Emekaca, for most receiving touchdowns. He had eight catches for |
| 1:46.0 | 130 yards and two scores in week 11. He looks every |
| 1:50.0 | bit apart of a number one wide receiver. Conversely, |
| 1:53.9 | Abdul Carter was billed as perhaps the best player in the entire |
| 1:57.2 | draft class. This guy is somebody that people thought |
| 1:59.8 | deserved to be the number one overall pick. |
| 2:02.7 | I'm not saying that won't prove to be the case at some points, |
| 2:05.7 | but Abdul Carter has been a very quiet factor for the Giants so far this season. |
