The series that you've been waiting for, we are projecting the first round of the 2025 redraft landscape 12 months in advance.

We're looking into our crystal ball so you know what's going to happen this season.

That's what we're talking about on today's episode of stealing banana shorts.

I'm Van Gretsch.

You can find my newsletter at bangresh.com with me.

As always, it's Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his great work over at Rodevis.

Let's jump into the discussion.

We always talk through this for anyone who doesn't remember.

We're predicting 12 months in advance what the first round and second round are going to

look like next year.

Obviously, this exercise is meant to help us understand the fragile profiles, the

profiles we expect to break out, some of those things.

And it really tests your expectations for what the hits can look like in year one.

We always like to do this as a tight end premium format.

So we mix in, you know, some of the elite tight ends.

And then we decided to add super flux this year.

So we can talk about some of the quarterbacks that we think are going to be at the top of that position as well by this time next year. But it's all a look ahead. And I was just saying to you, Sean, and then I was like, screw it. We just need to start the show because I want to say to the listeners too. I'm literally for the first time. We just threw everything in the same spreadsheet and then click record. I'm seeing yours for the first time. And I said, I love that I'm always that I get to do this with you. And yours are always so much more fun than mine. And so, I mean, it's great for me because I can take some pretty firm stances and I don't look like the zealot at all. Like you're definitely going to be even further than me. I don't have to be boring, but if I did this with somebody else, I would look like a zealot and you're even, even more so. But, Sean, this year, more than any year that we've ever done this and we've done it for maybe four years now, I want to say, was the hardest one for me. It's a really tricky year. we know that there's a pretty firm top 12 in redraft this year and there's no real profiles there that are like we're out on. Like a few years ago, it was like, oh, we can just take Derek Henry out of our next year's rankings or whatever it is, some aging running back. There's a couple guys at the back end of that that are obviously banged up right now. Pukkah, Jemir Gibbs, but they still factor into this question for next year. And then that second round, which we've talked about a ton, is a really long and wide tier. And there's a lot of names there that I wanted to be able to include in addition to the, you know, not to spoiler alert, but I've not taken a whole lot of the 12 names at the top of drafts this year out of my first two rounds from next year.

And then there's the guys that we always want to talk about that we think can break out and wrestle their way in from round eight, right?

And there's some profiles.

So this was a year where, you know, we always talk a little about

honorable mentions. I could have easily done a third round. It's really interesting. I, I,
