Third Down Thursday

● By Jack Gaffney
Although the NFL Draft is about six months away, what's a better time to get to know some players who'll make up the top end of this upcoming class? If you're a fan of a team that needs help in the offensive/defensive trenches and secondary, or just like guys from Alabama, Georgia, or Ohio State, you are in luck because there's some legit talent either at those positions or coming out of those schools. Now, I doubt the final draft order you're about to see is the one that's going to happen come next April, but here's how I'd see the 2025 NFL Draft going after four weeks of NFL Football.
