OK, maybe I lied. Imma gonna have 2 draft crushes and maybe even more. Because once you get your 2nd tattoo, you know that won’t be your last.
Jarius Monroe might not be happy with this, but Khristian Boyd is a draft crush equal, not a side crush. We’re gonna have to share, @Davicus.

2025 Draft Crushes:
DT/NT: Kenneth Grant (najacks)
DT: Mason Graham (najacks)
DT: Deone Walker (Thats2, CuriousHusker )
CB: Will Johnson (najacks)
S: Hunter Wohler (BubbaBaker-60)
Also, falling out of love? I do crush-list removals as well. Just drop a name in the comments.
Deone Walker is also my top crush for 2025. Completely insane that Michigan HS football put out two freaks like he and Grant in the same class.
Oh, lemme just put that in then…
Yeah, man guys shouldn’t be able to move like Walker at that size. Closest thing to Ngata I’ve seen since. How did he end up at Kentucky?
Vince Marrow is my guess. John Blake/Ed O. level recruiter.
Oh really? No idea but if he’s on Blake’s level that’s something else. Surprised one of the bigger schools hasn’t hired him away yet.
I don’t know what he’s paid now but he was at Nebraska and then was poached by Kentucky for “silly money”. Went from Grad Asst. to Associate Head Coach simply for texturing chops.
He’s a Youngstown guy that Pelini knew if I recall correctly. If I had to guess he’s a seven figure guy.
Guys like that probably have more value to the middle tier at this juncture.
Yeah good point. The big schools tend to recruit themselves.
Though if I was a blue blood fallen on hard times… a Miami type, I’d probably consider it. Surprised Kentucky is paying that much, but then again they are in the sec
It’s of course basketball leaning but Lexington has a lot of old money from what I understand.

It’s not often I’m able to get 5 of my draft crushes in the same draft, so I figured this was the place to share. Even if it’s entirely unrealistic. (And the other two, Fiske and Booker, are just outside of crush range)

Awesome draft but just a wee bit unrealistic
Maybe a teeny bit
Kiran is really interesting. You can put him at Guard, but he can also move to RT incase either Decker or Sewell are hurt. I wouldn’t be opposed to that.
He’s probably my #1 crush. Crazy long and athletic. Nasty, nasty play demeanor. Super heavy punch and the strength to bury guys. Competition questions and his injury last season (not a bad one and not expected to impact this season) are the only things keeping his stock in check.
I think he’d skyrocket if he could have played in the Senior Bowl. If he tests (I hear he’s right on the cusp of being healthy enough) that will probably raise his stock, but not as high as it would go if he had a completely healthy pre-draft process imo. Right now he’s my 24th overall prospect and might rise still.
