Rethinking the 2025 NFL Draft: Lottery scenarios that would reshape the league

NFL draft lottery could dramatically reshape team strategies: By giving each of the 18 non-playoff teams an equal shot at the No. 1 pick, a lottery system would create massive variability in draft outcomes. In this mock exercise, the Cowboys land Travis Hunter at No. 1 in one scenario, the Patriots pair Drake Maye with Hunter in another, and the Raiders take a swing on a quarterback again with Cam Ward. Quarterback runs, receiver pairings and edge reinforcements vary wildly: In different lottery outcomes, teams like the Giants, Jets and Saints address quarterback needs early with picks of Ward or Shedeur Sanders, while others like the 49ers choose to invest in elite weapons or protect their signal-callers. Estimated Reading Time: 23 minutes What if the NFL adopted an NBA-style lottery system for the top of the draft? Where instead of […]

2025 NFL Draft Pivot Points: Miami Dolphins

Miami has dire interior offensive line needs: The trio of center Aaron Brewer and guards Robert Jones and Liam Eichenberg combined to surrender nine sacks, 79 total quarterback pressures and a whopping 69 other losses that did not result in pressure in 2024. An middle-of-the-field weapon could take the Dolphins' offense to the next level: Tight ends Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren would each be an intriguing fit in Miami's high-powered offense. Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes Every NFL draft has a series of pivot points, where the scope of everything hinges on one team's decision to aggressively move up or gamble for more value and trade back.  Looking at last year’s first round, the inflection point wasn’t a trade; it was the first defensive player taken — UCLA edge Laiatu Latu by the Indianapolis Colts — finally at Pick […]

NFL’s best, worst teams at drafting in the first round since 2020

Cincinnati built its offensive foundation in the first round: Drafting Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase in back-to-back years has kept the Bengals as a yearly contender. Trouble in Tennessee: The Titans own this year’s first overall pick, but their recent draft history is a big reason they sunk that low in the first place. Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes Selecting star players in the first round of NFL drafts is crucial to any team’s success. If a franchise can find a superstar, regardless of position, it can quickly turn around its fortunes. If a team goes several years without finding impact players, it can get dragged into a cycle of mediocrity or worse. Using PFF grading and Wins Above Replacement as barometers, we can examine which teams have had the most success with drafting players in the first round. We’ll […]

2025 NFL Draft’s best tackle-shedding RBs: Ashton Jeanty, Cam Skattebo and more

Ashton Jeanty blows the rest of the class out of the water: His 106 broken tackles in 2024 were 56 more than second place, and his 163 forced missed tackles beat out second by 43. Cam Skattebo, although a distant second, has a strong tackle-shedding profile: The Arizona State product is widely considered RB2 in the 2025 NFL Draft, in part because of his tackle-breaking ability. Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes Last week, we dove into the best NFL running backs at forcing broken tackles and missed tackles, a subtle distinction, but one that exists nonetheless.
