Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak break down every skill player pick from the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, beginning with Travis Hunter in Jacksonville. They debate if, sight unseen with regards to ADP and role, they will be taking Hunter in re-draft leagues. Next, they assess if Ashton Jeanty is already as high as the RB2 spot before delving into Omarion Hampton’s situation in L.A. How quickly can he overtake Najee Harris? Then they get into the weeds on the situations for Tetairoa McMillan, Emeka Egbuka and Matthew Golden. How bizarre was the Egbuka pick? Is Golden in danger of being this year’s bust wideout? They throw down on Colston Loveland vs. Tyler Warren and wonder what’s to like with Jaxson Dart in New York. They pledge to talk about Cam Ward at a later date and make their picks for best and worst selections.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome to a special Friday morning edition of the Road World Football Show. I am Patrick
0:20.9	Dardee here with Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchick to break down, of course, the first round of
0:25.6	the 2025 NFL draft. We were too sleepy to do it Thursday night. So we're doing it Friday morning.
0:30.7	We wanted the takes to be fresh and well rested for you. That's takes on everything from Ashton
0:35.1	Gentie as RB what in 2025 redraft leagues?
0:39.1	Site unseen. Are we going to be drafting Travis Hunter, you know, not knowing the role,
0:43.6	not knowing the ADP? Can we get excited about Teteroa McMillan in Carolina? Do we have any good
0:49.6	theories on the Abuka pick in Tampa Bay? It seemed kind of weird. Matthew Golden, some days he looks like a
0:54.7	bust. Other days he looks like a potential star. We're going to get to everyone. That includes the
0:58.8	tight ends, a little bit on Jackson Dart. So many big names, but we'd be remiss if we didn't start
1:04.8	out the show, Denny, on an extremely negative note. I'm talking about the worst trade any of us have ever seen. The Atlanta Falcons
1:13.3	trading a future first round pick for the number 26 overall pick. Real good about big brain stuff here,
1:20.3	Denny. They needed an edge rusher. And so they got one. What's your problem, Pat? No, I mean,
1:26.0	it truly, I mean, it could, it could go down as the worst, yeah, they traded a, they traded the next year's
1:44.8	first round pick, okay, for this guy at a, Pierce out of Tennessee, right? Who I, Kyle, was this guy
1:52.8	like a top three edge? Probably not three. So he has some character off-field stuff that seem to be,
2:00.5	I mean, seem to be every team
2:02.2	except for the Falcons seem to be thinking he'd fall.
2:04.5	His line is at like 31 and a half.
2:05.9	It was like he's a fringe first rounder.
2:07.6	Okay.
2:08.6	Talent is better than pick 31.
