Patriots finally add offensive explosiveness in Henderson, Williams on Day 2 of NFL Draft

Three days after Christmas last year, the New England Patriots hosted the Los Angeles Chargers in a nationally televised contest, hopeful to showcase their promising rookie quarterback, Drake Maye.Instead, the Patriots totaled just 181 yards of offense and 11 first downs. They were completely outmanned in a 40-7 loss that displayed their lack of game-breaking talent on offense.So on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday night, a new-look regime continued to spend its most valuable draft picks in support of Maye, this time with one theme in mind: explosiveness.In recent years, so much had to go right for the Patriots offense to find success. A single penalty felt like a drive crusher because they had no players who seemed capable of making a chunk play. No one could get them out of a hole if they got […]

Steelers still hope to add Aaron Rodgers, might draft developmental QB, owner says

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still optimistic free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers will join the team soon, president and owner Art Rooney said Friday, as the 2025 NFL Draft continued and the team declined to take a quarterback through the first three rounds.Speaking on Steelers Nation Radio midway through Day 2 — before the team’s pick at No. 83 in the third round — Rooney also said the team’s pursuit of Rodgers had not materially affected its approach in the draft, but that the team could still draft a quarterback. After Rooney spoke, Pittsburgh passed on Shedeur Sanders (and other available QBs) at No. 83, instead taking running back Kaleb Johnson.Advertisement“We really did not factor whether Aaron is coming or not into that,” Rooney said. “If we draft a quarterback — and we still might — it’s probably not someone who’s going […]

NFL Draft best available players for Cleveland Browns: Cameron Williams, Jalen Royals

The heaviest lifting is probably done. The Cleveland Browns’ future-focused 2025 draft started with a trade that gave them Jacksonville’s 2026 first-round pick and moved them down to No. 5, where they picked Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham.But the Browns are still looking to add depth and talent to their roster, and they still need to add young players to their offensive line. They’re likely to look for help at wide receiver and safety, too, though the Cleveland draft has brought multiple surprises thus far. No one predicted that diminutive quarterback Dillon Gabriel would go in the top 100 picks, but the Browns selected the Oregon passer at No. 94 Friday night.AdvertisementThe Browns currently have three picks on Saturday: 126 in the fourth round, 166 in the fifth and 192 in the sixth. They were slated to have five Saturday […]

Can Seahawks turn dynamic QB Jalen Milroe into the next dual-threat star?

Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider said at the NFL Scouting Combine that at some point the draft board would fall his way, creating the right time for his franchise to select a quarterback.During his 15 years as Seattle’s top personal man, Schneider had taken a QB just twice: Russell Wilson in the third round of the 2012 draft and Alex McGough in the seventh round of the 2018 draft.Well, on Friday night, Schneider made it a third time, selecting Alabama product Jalen Milroe with the No. 92 overall selection in the third round. An athletic dynamo who needs seasoning as a thrower, Milroe’s electric ability as a runner likely reminds Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald of his time with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson when Macdonald was the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens.Milroe, the fourth […]
