NFL Draft 2025 Buzz: Cowboys, Steelers Eye Rising Stars — Schwesinger, Nolen, Burden, and More Fuel Speculation Frenzy

April 7, 2025 RAYMOND 0

UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger recently held a private pro day in Los Angeles, attended by 30 NFL teams. While he’s not considered the top linebacker prospect, Schwesinger is often viewed as the second-best off-ball linebacker, with some speculating that he could sneak into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. However, most analysts expect him to be taken on Day 2, with a strong chance he won’t fall past the early second round.

In other draft news, the Cowboys were busy hosting their exclusive “Dallas Day” event, which included top prospects like North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton and Texas A&M defensive tackle Shemar Turner. Hampton’s stock has been soaring, making him a likely first-round pick. Turner, meanwhile, has visits lined up with several NFL teams, including the Ravens, Eagles, and Dolphins.

Elsewhere, Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden met with the Broncos, and Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond has been making the rounds, with visits to teams like the Bills, Browns, and Packers. The Steelers also recently hosted a strong group of prospects, including South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori, who is trending toward a potential first-round selection.

Giants Shake Up the Draft: Hunter & Shedeur Land in Jaw-Dropping Mel Kiper Jr. Prediction!

In a surprising twist, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has reimagined the New York Giants’ draft strategy, suggesting they could secure both two-way sensation Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the first round. Initially predicted to go No. 3 overall to the Giants, Sanders’ stock has been falling, opening up a rare opportunity for the Giants to draft the best player available while also adding a potential future franchise quarterback. Kiper believes this bold move could make the Giants the offseason’s biggest winners, especially if Sanders continues to slide down the draft board. “How about this scenario?” Kiper proposed. “You draft Travis Hunter at No. 3, and if Shedeur Sanders drops, you trade back into the first round to grab him. That’s a real possibility.”
