2025 NFL Draft: Five draft picks who will be the most impactful in the AFC | Yardbarker
5. Josh Simmons, OT, Kansas City Chiefs
It was evident that the Chiefs had to leave this draft with an offensive lineman who could potentially develop into the long-term solution at left tackle. It was also clear that Kansas City would have to use first-round capital on the position.
Patrick Mahomes was sacked 36 times in the regular season in 2024 and six times in a Super Bowl loss...

Good Morning Broncos Country!
Good Morning, Broncos Country!
With their final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Utah tight end Caleb Lohner in the 7th round. He is a bit of a project, though, since he has just played one year of football, caught just four passes (all of which were touchdowns), and is transitioning from basketball to football.
He is a bit of a project considering his overall lack of experience, but the size, athleticism, and untapped potential are obvious. While it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, Payton and the Broncos are hoping they've found the...
Mile High Report
The Steelers reportedly made and fielded calls about George Pickens without moving him—what does that mean for Aaron Rodgers? In the view of The Athletic reporter Mike DeFabo, it is one of the strongest indicators that the team is convinced that he will sign. It’s one of the points he raised when his 93.7 The […]

There’s still work to be done.
The NFL Draft is over, and the Cincinnati Bengals have added two offensive linemen, two linebackers, a running back, and an edge rusher to their roster. However, one position they didn’t address in the draft or in free agency so far is safety.
The position has been a mess since the team lost Jessie Bates III and Vonn Bell 1.0 after the 2022 season. They were replaced by Dax Hill and Nick Scott, and that combo didn’t work out at all. On the bright side, Jordan Battle emerged, but Hill was moved to the...

New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Big Blue View
On the clock with the No. 21 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart. ESPN’s Dan Graziano isn’t sounding the alarm on the Steelers’ coming season just because they didn’t add one of those quarterbacks at that spot.
Head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan did eventually take a passer — adding Ohio State’s Will Howard on Day 3 — but that draft placement doesn’t quite scream “future of the franchise.”
“I just can’t rip the Steelers for not forcing a quarterback,” Graziano wrote last Saturday. “They did exactly...

What are some achievable goals for each rookie from this class?
One goal each Bengals NFL Draft pick can accomplish as rookies to make Cincinnati a better team in 2025
That's the goal of this exercise. We're going to lay out achievable marks each of Cincinnati's six draft picks can reasonably hit based on who they were in college, what rookies of recent memory did in their shoes, and the roles in store for them when the pads come on.

The Cleveland Browns drafting Shedeur Sanders, even in the fifth round, came as more than a surprise to one insider. Browns sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala shared her thoughts on the organization’s move—as best she could—on 93.7 The Fan. I think it would be fair to characterize her remarks as interesting, so let’s examine them. Sharing […]

Affleck appeared on the new episode of the New Heights podcast.
Ben Affleck got to live every New England Patriots fan’s dream: playing catch with the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady.
Telling the story on a new episode of Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, he spoke about how the two were on vacation at the same place. Brady then asked Affleck to run some routes for him.
“I won’t lie to you. I don’t know if they have a name,” he said about the routes he ran. “I’m sure I disgraced every receiver that’s ever run...

The ESPN analyst is a fan of New England’s 2025 draft class.
The New England Patriots received plenty of praise for their 2025 NFL Draft. The latest to jump onto the hype drain is ESPN analyst Mina Kimes, who spoke highly of the team’s ability to address its needs without overextending.
“I absolutely love what the Patriots did,” she said. “They went into this draft with, I felt, some pretty glaring needs on offense and they really managed to address those needs without reaching from a value perspective — starting, of course, with Will Campbell, who they envision as the...
