The With the First Pick RV is back in the garage after making stops at the Shrine and Senior Bowls the last two weeks. It’s always good to see these players in person — and yes, I’ve been accused (mostly by my podcast co-host Rick Spielman) of falling in love when I finally get eyes on these guys after watching them on tape for the last couple seasons — and the 2025 draft cycle is no different.
(By the way, check out all our podcasts from both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl here, here or here — or wherever you get your podcasts.)
There are still just two quarterbacks going in Round 1, but the all-star game circuit confirmed what my eyes saw in the fall: This class is deep along the defensive line, both on the interior and at edge rusher. And while the offensive line looked thin(nish) at times, there are some dudes, especially on the inside.
Put another way: Don’t be distracted by the “This is a weak class” talk in the coming weeks. It’s not “six QBs in the top 12” deep, but there are are some special talents who will hear their names called early, and the depth at certain positions will run well into Day 3. That, in some ways, makes it more exciting as we work our way up to the actual draft on April 24.
OK, let’s get to it.
The 2025 NFL Draft is to take place from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly mock drafts and a regularly available look at the eligible prospects.
