Man, we might have had a seriously solid draft. Our first and second rounders are in the top 15 2025 rookies, and Shavon Revel will likely join the list by season's end. Might have gotten 3 first round talents like we'd hoped for.

We had the highest rated EDGE and G.

EZE #2 - (81.2
Booker #11 (73.5)

The list does not include Abdul Carter or Tyler Warren. Top TEs were Jackson Hawes and Colston Loveland.

1. DI Walter Nolen, Arizona Cardinals (84.6)
2. EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dallas Cowboys (81.2)

Ezeiruaku finished Week 13 as the Cowboys’ second-highest-graded defender (77.7) in their Thanksgiving win against the Kansas City Chiefs. He missed a tackle in run defense late in the first quarter but still recorded a 30% positive play rate as a run defender across limited snaps (10).

He made his biggest impact as a pass rusher, turning the tide from his previous two games. Ezeiruaku posted a poor 2.4% pass-rush win rate, along with the fifth-worst PFF pass-rush grade (48.0), across Weeks 11 and 12. In Week 13, he tied a season high with five pressures and logged the sixth-best win rate in the NFL (28.0%).

The Boston College product ranks second among rookie edge defenders in PFF run-defense grade (69.9) and PFF pass-rush grade (70.9). His 13.7% pass-rush win rate leads the class, and he places in the top 10 at the position in quarterback hits (11). Ezeiruaku also paced all edge rushers in PFF run-defense grade in November (88.8). He has 13 stops on the season at a rate of 8.3% (both first among rookies). He is also generating a 20.4% positive play rate and a 9.6% negative play rate as a run defender.

3. TE Jackson Hawes, Buffalo Bills (81.2)
4. RB Cam Skattebo, New York Giants (80.5)
5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (77.9)
6. LB Jihaad Campbell, Philadelphia Eagles (77.6)
7. TE Colston Loveland
8. EDGE Jalon Walker, Atlanta Falcons (75.9)
9. T Will Campbell, New England Patriots (75.5)
10. T Armand Membou, New York Jets (75.5)
11. G Tyler Booker, Dallas Cowboys (73.5)
Booker debuts in the top 15 after securing a rookie-best 78.9 PFF overall grade against the Chiefs in Week 13. He recorded a 98.7 pass blocking efficiency rating and finished with a 10th-ranked 79.0 PFF run-blocking grade. Booker was particularly strong in zone blocking schemes, earning an 80.0 PFF run-blocking grade across 15 snaps.

The 12th overall pick from Alabama is PFF’s eighth-ranked right guard heading into Week 14. His strength has been in run blocking, where he boasts the fifth-best impact rate at the position (18.9%) and the lowest defeated rate among rookie guards (14.9%). As a pass blocker, Booker has surrendered 16 pressures at a rate of 4.2%. He’s been charged with a sack and five hits, leading to a 61.7 PFF pass-blocking grade.

12. CB Will Johnson, Arizona Cardinals (73.4)

13. WR Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears (73.3)

14. WR/CB, Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars (73.2)

15. RB Omarion Hampton, Los Angeles Chargers (73.0)

Dang Walter Nolen has been that good so far. The only sucky thing is he has been injured most of the year and he injured his knee in their last game vs the Jags so he will miss even more time.

Eze has been our best 2nd round pick in years, we drafted Diggs in 2020.
 
Mcmillan should be much higher,Panthers are in the playoffs hunt because of him.
 
Not to put a blemish on our draft, but that is looking like one of the weakest drafts in recent years.
 
I like Jackson Hawes a lot being a GT TE.

I know Kincaid has been injured, allowing Knox and Hawes more snaps, but Hawes just has 11 catches on the season. He was a stout blocker in college, so I think that's helping his grade out.

Warren has 58 catches, 3rd in the league for a T.E.

Maybe an argument can be made that Hawes is a very good blocking TE and the ideal #2 TE, but I would find it hard to believe any GM would take Hawes over Warren.
Him being graded 10 points higher than Warren just sits off with me.

I believe Warren also have almost double the snap counts on offense, as well.
 
Revel might end up being better than both Eze and Booker.
 
This draft was drastically needed considering all the players we let walk. There's diffidently a difference in approach at least this season
