Kevin Stefanski Thinks Travis Hunter Can Succeed As Two-Way Player
Travis Hunter will transition to the balance of being both an offensive and defensive player in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is confident Hunter will succeed. "Travis is somebody that is uniquely equipped to do both," Stefanski said. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner averaged an FBS-high 111.5 snaps per game the last two years at Colorado, with no other player averaging more than 78 since at least 2015. Many draft analysts believe the 21-year-old is both the top receiver and top cornerback available in the 2025 NFL draft this week. The Brows would certainly use Hunter in more ways than one, and if they don't trade back from No. 2 overall, many believe that Cleveland will add the elite athlete on Thursday night in Round 1.Source: NFL.com - Grant Gordon

Raiders Could Go With Offensive Lineman At No. 6 Overall
Ashton Jeanty under new general manager John Spytek, but The Athletic's Dianna Russini writes that strong cases are being made in Vegas' draft room to address their offensive line with the No. 6 overall pick on Thursday night instead. The Raiders reportedly have been interested in moving up into the top five picks of this year's NFL draft while also being open to moving back, depending on what transpires early on. Jeanty is the obvious fit for the Raiders, even after they added veteran Raheem Mostert to their backfield in free agency. However, with such a deep class at the RB position this year, the Raiders may not feel pressured to pull the trigger on Jeanty in the top 10 if they stay put at pick No. 6 overall.Source: The Athletic - Dianna Russini
The Las Vegas Raiders spent a lot of time this offseason doing their homework on Boise State running back Jaguars, Raiders Looking To Trade Up In First Round
Travis Hunter?). For the right trade offer, though, the Jaguars remain open to moving down from the No. 5 pick as well. If the Jaguars or Raiders were to swing a trade to move up to somewhere in the No. 2 to 4 pick range, it would most likely be for either Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. The Browns, Giants and Patriots hold picks No. 2 through 4, respectively.Source: The Athletic - Dianna Russini
The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars, who own the No. 5 overall pick, and the Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6) have both expressed interest in moving up at the top of the first round if the player they want is available, according to sources. Russini was told that the Jaguars are hoping to keep this year's draft "electric" with first-year head coach Liam Coen and first-year general manager James Gladstone, and they are looking for an offensive player (Saints Won't Pick Up Fifth-Year Option On Trevor Penning
Chris Olave. It's a no-brainer decision for the Saints on the 25-year-old Penning, who hasn't exactly panned out as a reliable starter on their offensive line since they took him 19th overall in 2022 out of Northern Iowa. He did start all 17 games at right tackle for the Saints in 2024 after starting just six games in his first two years in the league in 2022 and 2023, but Penning was a liability in pass protection for beat-up quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) and those that replaced him due to injury. With the news, Penning is now scheduled to become a free agent after the upcoming 2025 season.Source: Ross Jackson
The New Orleans Saints will not be picking up the fifth-year option on offensive lineman Trevor Penning for the 2026 season. They announced earlier on Wednesday that they will pick up the fifth-year option for wide receiver Nick Chubb Not Interested In Retirement
Nick Chubb (foot) remains on the free-agent market on the eve of the 2025 NFL draft, he doesn't appear to be considering retirement. "They've already wrote my ending when I'm just getting started," Chubb wrote on Instagram, adding a bat emoji. Chubb also posted a video on his social media page of him squatting significant weight, which is something he hadn't really done since a devastating knee injury that he suffered early in the 2023 season. The 29-year-old second-rounder and four-time Pro Bowler returned to play in eight games for the Browns in 2024 but didn't look like the same guy, averaging a career-worst 3.3 yards per carry on 102 rushing attempts for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Chubb also suffered a season-ending foot fracture in December, which no doubt has many teams skeptical about how much he can offer moving forward.Source: NFL.com - Kevin Patra
While long-time Cleveland Browns running back George Pickens Drawing Trade Interest
George Pickens' name up in trade discussions, and he's a name to watch with the 2025 NFL draft kicking off on Thursday night. The Steelers aren't actively shopping Pickens, but trade talks have taken place as the 24-year-old pass-catcher enters the final year of his contract in 2025. The Steelers could use some more draft capital after giving away their second-rounder this year to acquire DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks, but they are also excited about the possibilities in 2025 with Metcalf and Pickens sharing the field on offense. It sounds like the Steelers aren't in a rush to get rid of Pickens, even though his long-term future with the organization is in question, but they could give in if a team offers them something too good to pass up. Stay tuned.Source: FOX Sports - Jordan Schultz

Concerns About Tetairoa McMillan's Lack Of Effort
Tetairoa McMillan ranked as the 50th overall prospect on his draft board this year due to concerns about his effort, saying that he quit on over-the-middle targets and didn't work hard enough with the Sun Devils. McMillan still managed to produce 1,319 receiving yards and eight touchdowns at Arizona in his final collegiate season in 2024 and is considered by many to be one of the top prospects at the receiver position heading into this week's draft. Teams like the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys could surely use a talent like McMillan in their offense. The Patriots have the fourth overall pick in the first round on Thursday night, while the Saints sit at No. 9, and the Cowboys have the No. 12 overall selection. Depending on where McMillan lands, he could make an immediate fantasy impact in 2025.Source: ESPN - Todd McShay

Vikings Waive NaJee Thompson, Trevor Reid

The Minnesota Vikings have waived offensive linemen Trevor Reid and defensive back NaJee Thompson. Reid, soon to be 25, was on his third team in two seasons (Falcons, Eagles) but has yet to garner a snap since signing as an undrafted free agent with Philadelphia in 2023. He was waived with a non-football injury designation. Thompson, on the other hand, followed a similar path to the NFL, though the Vikings were the team that signed him. He appeared in 15 games two seasons ago, logging seven tackles (five solo) and a fumble recovery. However, he spent all of 2024 on Injured Reserve after suffering a knee injury in January. The 24-year-old was waived after failing a physical, as his knee has yet to fully recover.Lions Release Jake Fromm
Jake Fromm ahead of this weekend's draft. Their roster now sits at 73 players. The 26-year-old has hopped around the league over his five-year career, serving stints with the Lions, Commanders, Giants, and Bills -- the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In three career appearances (one start), he racked up 210 passing yards and a 1:3 TD:INT ratio on a 45% completion percentage, chipping in 65 yards on eight rush attempts. The 26-year-old hasn't seen in-game action since the 2021 season during his time with the Giants. Fromm signed a Futures contract with Detroit back in January, but their recent acquisition of quarterback Kyle Allen must have eased them enough to cut ties with him.Source: Erik Schlitt
