We’re just a few days away from the most unpredictable draft I can remember since the 2020 year when no one knew what the hell was going on.
Despite that unpredictability, I developed some irrational confidence about how the top two, top three, top five picks would go as the weeks rolled along. They mostly align with the consensus, which is usually not a great thing when it comes to the draft.
But in a draft that seemingly lacks Gold Jacket guys (and we’ll need a decade-plus to determine how accurate that sentiment is), the answers may be plainly in front of you.
It has been repeated throughout this pre-draft process that this is a great year to trade back. The problem with that is someone has to want to trade up, and then both teams have to agree on the compensation. If the entire market wants to trade down, you can assume the price will be lower than it typically is. Will GMs be willing to take a value less than what their chart dictates? Will they understand this draft — like all other drafts — is an entity all to itself?
That’s something I’m keeping in mind in the upcoming week, especially where it concerns new GMs. The Jaguars, Raiders and Jets are picking No. 5-7 and all have new men in charge. It’s possible, if not likely, one of them will be the first team to trade back, and the rest of a reactive league will be able to copy off their paper when it comes to the value of a trade back.
Will a new GM — someone who has dreamed for decades of finally being in this chair — be willing to potentially take less compensation than in previous years to execute a trade-back in the top-10?
Here’s my one and only mock for the 2025 NFL draft.

Velká pomoc pro městečko u Ženevy. Soupeř Plzně nachystal vstřícné gesto
Městečko u Ženevy, které má zhruba 12 tisíc obyvatel, se těšilo na slavného soupeře. Po losu se sportovní ředitel klubu z Le Grand-Saconnex Valentin Toffoletto vyjádřil k protivníkovi slovy: „Sbohem, finanční starosti!“FC du Grand-Saconnex hraje Promotion League, což je třetí liga a jde o poloprofesionální soutěž. Tým je po deseti kolech s pouhými třemi body předposlední. Ovšem v poháru se mu daří a za odměnu ho čeká jednadvacetinásobný švýcarský mistr.Toffoletto se těšil, že příjmy ze vstupného pomohou klubu, který má finanční problémy. Domácí zápas ale nepřipadal kvůli infrastruktuře v úvahu, Basilej se zase obávala, že by na jejich stadionu St. Jakob-Park bylo naopak lidí až moc málo.A tak se podle webu Blick.ch našlo netradiční řešení. Jeden z důležitých sponzorů úspěšného celku se zasloužil o to, že vstup na zápas bude zdarma. A prostřednictvím služby Twint mohou fanoušci přispět dobrovolným vstupným.

Schauffele shares lead with Greyserman at Baycurrent Classic
Max Greyserman and Xander Schauffele share the lead after Saturday's third round of the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. In rainy conditions, Greyserman, who is chasing his first PGA Tour title, finished with an even-par 71 with Schauffele carding a 67 at the Yokohama Country Club - both are on 12-under 201. Going into the final round, five players were three strokes back, including defending champion Nico Echavarria (69), Michael Thorbjornsen (66), Byeong Hun An (66), Garrick Higgo (68) and Si Woo Kim (69).However, it's a different story from Schauffele, who could add to his long resume on Sunday which includes two major championships, a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and numerous other PGA Tour titles - although he is winless in the last year.For Schauffele, a win would be particularly sentimental as it's where his mother was raised - a dream […]
