Latest NFL Draft rumors include Giants trading up for a QB, potential Kirk Cousins landing spots

13 Min Read

One more day.

Would include the video of The misérables But it is probably already in your head now, so the mission fulfilled.

Despite the proximity to the NFL 2025 draft, rumors have not slowed down at all. In any case, they have resumed when the dress is approaching. So we go to the last turn around the rumor carousel.

Does the commercial talk heat?

One of the interesting elements of the NFL 2025 draft, so far, has been the lack of trades.

The NFL informant of ESPN, Adam Schefter, said during the weekend that in the “Common Draft time”, this is the closest to the beginning of the draft of an exchange for first -round selections, seismatic the NFL draft of 1993. That year, the San Francisco 49ers exchanged the legendary Marshal of Campo Joe Montana to the chiefs of Kansas City Solo five days before the draft advanced:

Ut that could be about to change.

Multiple experts have reported in the last 24 hours that commercial conversations are warming up. Peter Schager pointed out on Tuesday that both the Cleveland Browns and the New York giants were receiving calls from teams that sought to ascend, and most interesting: “None of the teams is externally rejecting those proposals.”

Then, Wednesday morning, Dianna Russini or The Atlético He dropped his great column prior to the draft, informing that “[t]The Browns, Giants and Patriots are called for us. 2, 3 and 4 selections, by league sources. Most teams seeking to move See Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter Hunter Target in case they can attract one of those teams, particularly Cleveland, with an adequate package. The three teams are listening. “

The trades have not yet left a large part of the story, but it seems that it is about to change.

A Kirk Cousins ​​Saturday special?

Among the many interesting things of the Russini column on Wednesday morning involved the current field marshal of the Atlanta Falcons, Kirk Cousins. According to Russini, three teams, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Minnesota, could participate in a possible trade marshal trade:

Browns, steelers and possible Vikings could be involved in a cousin trade. Minnesota is considering the less likely scenario, Givence is a preference for JJ McCarthy and that Cousins ​​would need to sign any exchange that is involved. It is believed that Cousins ​​would be against any trade that involves sending it to a situation that involves a young QB, similar to the situation he faced in Atlanta last year. If an exchange occurred, I would expect it to decrease on Saturday.

Of course, there is still the persistent situation of Aaron Rodgers, but Russini points out that the Steelers are in a “retention pattern” with respect to the veteran field marshal, and have not received any rodgers update since it appears in “The Pat Mcafee Show”.

Peter Schager’s only simulated draft has some surprises

Upon returning to the new privileged information of ESPN, Tracher launched his only and drunk drilling of the season on Wednesday morning, a predictive drill based on “how he identified the 32 best selections based on what he listens to my sources in the league.”

It contained some surprises.

The first was Ashton Jeanty for the Jacksonville Jaguars at number 5. There are bone of a buzz over Jeanty that leaves the board in that place recently, but perhaps through a team that changes to get ahead of the Las Vegas Raiders in the No. 6, who have a leg linked to the state of Boise running through the process prior to the draft.

Instead, Brackets thinks that the new general manager James Gladstone “won to be shy in his debut draft.”

Another surprise? The New Orleans Saints writing the passes corridor of Georgia Mykel Williams at number 9. The news of Derek Carr’s shoulder injury had many quarterback thinking in that place: Sheteur Sanders maybe? – While recent New Orleans reports linked the Saints with an offensive liner at number 9.

On the other hand, Scheerker believes that the Saints are going to deliver “one of the first” Wow “selections of Round 1, grabbing an elite defender who will carry the Torch of Cameron Jordan during the next decade.”

It is worth reading all Scheerker’s simulated draft, as is every year.

Steelers are adding two more quarterbacks

You can put this in the “fact” category, and not in the category of “rumor”, given the source.

Duration his press conference prior to the draft on Tuesday, the general manager of the Steelers, Omar Khan, made it clear that the team has not held Adderbacks:

Of course, the most important question is how the other two add. Cousins? Rodgers? Sanders? Any combination of them?

New England to duplicate ol?

The more the draft approaches, the more it seems that the New England patriots are locked in the offensive line of LSU, Will Campbell, at number 4. Campbell was a prominent in the left Tankle for the Tigers, but he has faced questions about how to move inside to protect the length of the arm.

But with the protection of Drake Maye a priority, adding offensive linens must be at the top of the list of pending tasks in Foxborough. This is the reason why an ESPN Draft analyst believes that the Patriots should not stop with Campbell at number 4. Jordan Reid describes a plan for New England to add another offensive liner at the top of the second round, one that could be an interesting match with Campbell.

The state guard of Ohio Donovan Jackson.

“Patriots should entertain the idea of ​​duplicating offensive linens with their first two teams,” Reid wrote. “Jackson is a versatile scheme blocker that stopped by Josh Simmons in the left Tackle last season after playing only the guard before that. It is projected as a guard, but Jackson’s versatility combined with Campbell Woudd Givevover.”

Some first round sleep

On Tuesday, our own JP Acosta identified five first round potentials: the offensive liner of the North Dakota state Gray Zabel, the corner of Mississippi Trey Amos, the state of Iowa Jaylin Noel, Ohio M Pass Dt Russian and Texas.

In the last Insider Espn Notebook prior to the draft (required subscription), Jeremy Fowler shared its list of possible first round:

It is always fun to ask teams for their names of first round that would be a slight surprise for the common fanatic, but not necessarily for those in the draft rooms. Here are some heard: the South Carolina Defensive Linker, TJ Sanders, the offensive Tackle of Minnesota, Airontae Ersery, the Ohio state guard, Donovan Jackson, and East Carolina Corner Revel Jr. Day 2.)

Ersery is a name that continues to approach the draft.

The path of the giants towards a field marshal

New York giants, sitting with the third selection in the draft, need a quarterback. Yes, the organization added to Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston this low season, but with both field marshal in the one -year agreements, the need to ensure the QB of the future remains close to the top of the list of tasks of the general manager Joe Schoen.

But with the opportunity to write through Travis Hunter Jr. or Abdul Carter looking at the face, QB in number 3 does not seem to be the movement.

So how can giants add a field marshal and who could be? According to Todd McShay or The bellThat probably arrives through an exchange of return to the first round, and the draft of the analyst believes that he knows who prefers Brian Daboll.

Mississippi Jaxson Dart field marshal.

Speaking about the last installment of “The McShay Show”, The Insider said that Daboll has his preference for Dart, and is pushing inside the building so that the giants simply write it in the No. 3. “Daboll is not a type of coast, and Daboll prefers Jaxson Dart,” said McShay. “I don’t know at what level. There are speculation in the league circles that is a daboll impulse to use giants” for the first time in quarterback. “

However, taking Dart at number 3 means that it fits with Carter, that McShay does not believe it is a wise course of action.

“I love Brian and I just told you how much I appreciate it and respect him. I don’t let the coach make the decision on when we are going to take it [Dart, if he is the target]”McShay said.” That is why the GM has to make this decision that you do not make Jaxson Dart to the three and why you do not take Dart to the three even if you love it [is] Because Abdul Carter is sitting there. “

As McShay sees it, the giants can take Carter to number 3 and then start calling the teams to return to the first round to give a darts, using Kayvon Thibodeaux as part of the package.

“I have Kayvon Thibodeaux, by the way, to whom we are not sure to want to sign, let’s house the fifth year agreement,” said McShay. “I have really heard a potential scenario is that you take Abdul Carter 3 uses Kayvon Thibodeaux as part of a package and then move on to the first round to obtain Jaxson Dart.”

We will see if the giants follow this path.
