For no reason at all, I've made a list of predictions for NFL division winners in 2025, and picked the six wildcard teams. It's 41 more days until the NFL draft, free agency fires up officially this coming week. It's ridiculous to make such predictions this early, the truth is, probably ridiculous to make them at all. And that's not just because fans of teams tend to 'go postal' in the figurative sense.
There's a rumor that the Giants are going to trade up to number one with the Titans, leaping over the Browns, probably to pluck QB Cam Ward. My guess about what that means is A) if that happens, Aaron Rodgers won't be going to the Giants, and at this point, given his experience with the Packers will prefer the Vikings because of years in that division; or B) the rumor is out there to get Rodgers to make that very move (IOW, it's a smokescreen).
I've been listening to YouTube clips (mostly Rich Eisen Show) and Tom Pelissero's musing is that the best idea for them, and for the Falcons, and for Kirk Cousins (who's ex- of Vikings) is for Atlanta to pay part of Cousins' remaining guaranteed money, with a current or future pick or two, to send him off the Cleveland. Sounds compelling, and sounds like something Cleveland won't do. Cleveland hasn't made many smart moves in many years. They blew the negotiations with Myles Garrett, probably because of unrealistic expectations for their 2025 season.
Kenny Pickett went from Pittsburgh (2022-2024) to the Eagles (2024-2025) to Cleveland, but the Browns have had in-person meetings with Russell Wilson.
Justin Fields (ex-Bears, now ex-Steelers) got plucked by the Jets.
There are two teams that show as having no QBs, Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings. I think the Steelers would be Rodgers' best move, because he would be the starter there. They have coaching stability there. Justin Fields is gone, Russell Wilson's leaving and his options probably are the Giants, the Browns, maybe the Vikings, maybe the Titans. What a mess.
Geno Smith went from the Seahawks to the Raiders, to be coached again by Pete Carroll.
The Vikings lost D'Arnold to the Seahawks.
Dan Jones went from the Giants (2022-2023) to the Vikings (2023-2024) and will be starting for the Colts this year.
Granted I don't spend a lot of time with the NFL or sports in general, but some of the current starting QBs in this list I'm looking at don't sound familiar, a bit, so, probably see some changes.
The success rate of draft picks is pretty poor (about 20% work out well). By position, centers have by far the best rate of success, with an average draft rate of a nudge more than one drafted per year.
Okay, I've spent more than enough time on this.
