> [@Loach](#): > > I was watching the ABC coverage not ESPN too much fluff and a couple of cringe moments but not the worst. I am seeing a lot of complaints about ESPN making it too much about Sanders and ignoring the ones who were actually picked. I had ESPN on the TV muted and the McShay show on the phone with audio. So much of a better experience. I like seeing the graphics and the guys walk up on stage, but I simply cannot stomach the talking and bullshit narratives on that show any more. It’s a shame, used to be awesome. They fully ruined it and now the NFL Network is dying so that’s not even a great alternative. Highly recommend second screening the show for tonight. ---

With the arrogance of the Sanders family, you can be sure they’re playing the “Tom Brady was taken in the 6th round” angle as much as they can. ---

Going into Day 2 here’s the next 20 best available (according to USAToday). We’re around 30 minutes away from the start. #### 2025 NFL Draft best available: 1. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan 2. Mike Green, Edge, Marshall 3. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri 4. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina 5. Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina 6. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado 7. Donovan Ezeiruaku, edge, Boston College 8. Nic Scourton, edge, Texas A&M 9. Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State 10. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State 11. Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona 12. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State 13. Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss 14. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State 15. Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo 16. Aireontae Ersery, OL, Minnesota 17. Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame 18. Alijah Arroyo, TE, Miami 19. Landon Jackson, edge, Arkansas 20. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame The Bears are drafting 7th and 9th in the second round, so I’ll be watching the top of this round very closely. I think it’ll be a surprise if Will Johnson, Mike Green, and Nick Emmanwori aren’t taken in the next 5 picks. I’m really hoping that the Bears can land Treveyon Henderson and Donovan Ezeiruaku with those two picks. I wouldn’t be opposed to trading back if Henderson comes off the board before us, but he’s the must-have guy here. The Sanders slide will probably continue. Everyone things that either the Browns or Raiders will pull the trigger early tonight. The Saints can grab him if he slips and the Steelers don’t have a 2nd. If either Milroe or Shough get picked before him, he might be looking at a late night. Let’s hope the broadcast finds literally anything else to talk about. ---

Seahawks trading up, wonder who they are targeting. Probably not a QB, but maybe another OL or WR. Maybe Johnson/Green? ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Probably not a QB, but maybe another OL or WR. Almost guarantee it. They traded up to get Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf in different drafts years ago, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a WR here. But they also need another guard. Whoever they are getting, it has to be someone they _really_ want. They don’t do this very often. ---

Wow, a safety. Didn’t expect that. They must love this guy. It’s not a massive need for them, so I’m guessing they just see it as a big defensive upgrade, and figure there are enough guards and receivers they can still get someone decent later. ---

Browns passed twice on Sanders, wonder how far he falls now. ---

Dolphins swapping spots with the Raiders…another QB possibility. Nope, the desperation for OLs rears its head. Starting to think the Bears should take Ersery just due to the scarcity. ---

Wild pick. All in on pass catchers I guess. Love the value here. But damn, Henderson hurts. ---

Shough to NO! Not surprised, wondering who Pittsburgh is taking. Especially as QBs start to go. ---

Oooohhhh!. Shough is the 3rd QB off the board. Kellen Moore might see a little bit of himself in Shough. Also…his girlfriend in going to win social media today. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > I wouldn’t be opposed to trading back if Henderson comes off the board before us, but he’s the must-have guy here. Called that. Let’s see how much we got back to drop back that far. They must have been going Henderson/Burden with these two. There it is: **Bills get:** Nos. 41, 72, 240 **Bears get:** Nos. 56, 62, 109 Moving up in the 3rd and getting back into the 4th round for a 7th. Wonder if Kaleb Johnson will survive to pick 56. ---
