NFL Trade Rumors
For their final pick in the 2025 draft, the Broncos selected basketball player Caleb Lohner, who will play tight end in HC Sean Payton‘s offense at 6’7.
Chargers S Elijah Molden commented on his return to Los Angeles in free agency this offseason.
Chiefs director of player personnel and college scouting Ryne Nutt compared first-round OT Josh Simmons to Christian Darrisaw and Rashawn Slater.
“In terms of years past, I would say, Josh, when he was healthy at this year, this tape, would be one of the better ones in the last few years,” Nutt said, via NFL.com. “He kind of reminds me of (Vikings left tackle) Christian Darrisaw, who’s done really well for the Vikings. He’s got a little bit of (LT Rashawn) Slater in him who plays for the Chargers. The kid’s arms are longer than I think people think, the (NFL Scouting) Combine measured him at 33 (inches) but his Pro Day — or 34 and an eighth, and I think that’s closer to what we kind of had, I think we had around 34 when we brought him in. The kid is super talented and super willing to work, and we’re excited to have him where we got him.”
“You could make your case for the best, but he’s definitely in the top three in this draft class in terms of what he provides,” Nutt continued. *“The only difference maybe between him and some other guys is he started two years and some of these other guys, like the LSU kid (Patriots LT Will Campbell ) I think started more and you could say experience and stuff like that, but Josh is physically — he is elite. I mean, he is big, he’s strong, his feet jump off the tape. When you put this tape on, his set is as pretty as it looks now in terms of offensive line pass setting. He got better every year. His first year at Ohio State he flipped to the left side from the right side the year prior, and I think it just took him a little time to adjust to just everything, like a new playbook, a new surrounding (and) a new position essentially. It’s not as easy as people think going from the right side to the left side. There is a big difference and sometimes it just takes people a little longer, and I think that was the case with Josh. This last year, you can watch those six games, and it’s not unfair to say he was the best tackle up to that point. It stinks he got injured because I do think — I mean, I guess it’s good for us because we got him and that’s the only way we would’ve gotten him because that kid, he was a top-20 pick. It stinks for the...
