Summary

Friends, the 2025 NFL Draft has arrived. All our questions will finally be answered. But, for the time being, we still have questions! How many quarterbacks will go in the first round? Who, if anyone, will make a big move up the board? How will the receiver and corner positions shake out? Will any veteran players get traded? Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dane Brugler ask the questions that still have them flummoxed on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. Rundown All things quarterback Who makes the move for Ashton Jeanty? Who's going to be the trade-up team? How high do the toolsy pass rushers go? Are both tight ends really gonna go that high? How do the receivers shake out? How does corner shake out? Veteran player trades Does the league buy these interior offensive linemen? What do the 49ers want to be on defense? Who's the back-half-of-the-first-round surprise pick?
