In a recent episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, analysts highlighted potential surprises in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. One bold prediction suggested the New Orleans Saints could shock by selecting Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart as the ninth overall pick to address their long-term QB needs. Another unexpected move could see the Los Angeles Rams trade into the top 10 for Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, aiming to bolster their offensive options.
Analysts also speculated on Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe potentially being a first-round pick, with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential suitor if Aaron Rodgers were to retire. Additionally, the Denver Broncos were mentioned as possibly targeting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, indicating a proactive approach to enhance their offensive capabilities under head coach Sean Payton, potentially requiring a trade up from their 20th overall pick.
