NFL Draft - Rounds 4-7
Head over to CBSSPorts.com to check out my pick-by-pick analysis of rounds 4-7.
Hey, Barkers - Sailor wrangled me a gig doing a live writeup of the selections for rounds 4-7 as they happen today, so if you're so inclined drop by and watch me try to figure out how dudes from Portland State featured only in cell-phone footage on YouTube will translate to the NFL! I'm not sure as to the commenting situation over there, so feel free to use this as your open thread for any Day Three thoughts and musings.

MIA trades up w/ SF and selects
Lamar Miller RB from Miami. Considered a good value pick here, and it makes the second time in the draft Jeff Ireland has drafted a Hurricane down the road in Coral Gables.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:11 AM CDT reply actions
BAL selects
Gino Gradkowski G from Delaware. Not the value pick the previous two have been, but he is 6’3" 300.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:15 AM CDT reply actions
HOU selects
Ben Jones C of Georgia. Another student of Stacy’s gets the call. Fair value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:17 AM CDT reply actions
CLE on the clock w/ pick 100
Immediately pick WR Travis Benjamin of the Miami.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:18 AM CDT reply actions
DEN selects
CB Omar Bolden of Arizona St. Fair value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:21 AM CDT reply actions
WAS selects
QB Kirk Cousins of Michigan St. Fair value. Watch your back, RGIII.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:26 AM CDT reply actions
CAR selects
DE Frank Alexander of Oklahoma. I think there are some better values here, but isn’t that always the way when a Sooner is involved?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:30 AM CDT reply actions
CAR has the next pick too and selects
Joe Adams WR from Arkansas a much better value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:31 AM CDT reply actions
BUF w/ pick 105 selects
OLB Nigel Bradham from Florida St.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:32 AM CDT reply actions

RB Robert Turbin of Utah St. Muscle on top of muscle w/ this guy, but has also had leg injuries.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:34 AM CDT reply actions
PIT selects
6’3" 348 NT Alameda Ta’Amu of Washington. I thought these two would be a good fit. Great value pick here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:44 AM CDT reply actions
SD selects
TE Ladarius Green of LA-Lafayette. He better catch.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:45 AM CDT reply actions
AZ selects
OT Bobby Massie of MS. Great value pick here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:49 AM CDT reply actions
DAL selects
OLB Kyle Wilber of Wake Forest. Seems a bit of reach to me, but maybe there’s some team between now and their next pick they were afraid liked him as well.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:53 AM CDT reply actions
SEA selects
DT Jaye Howard of Florida. Again, seemingly not the best value.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:54 AM CDT reply actions
TEN selects
CB Coty Sensabaugh of Clemson. An even bigger reach.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 11:57 AM CDT reply actions
CIN selects
Orson Charles TE from Georgia. Jermaine Gresham will snap him in two if he takes his receptions.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:00 PM CDT reply actions
SF selects
G Joe Looney from Wake Forest. Fair value.
Shaping up to be the round of Demon Deacons.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:03 PM CDT reply actions
MIN takes their sweet time and finally selects
Jarius Wright WR from Arkansas.
I thought someone might leapfrog MIN they took so long.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:07 PM CDT reply actions
WAS selects
Keenan Robinson OLB from Texas. Teaming up w/ Orakpo again.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:11 PM CDT reply actions

WR Keshawn Martin of Michigan St. Jacoby Jones no like. Great value pick nonetheless.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:16 PM CDT reply actions
NO now on the clock w/ pick 122
Which prospect allows the Saints to break the most NFL rules on gameday?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:17 PM CDT reply actions
Frank ALexander
would be a funny pick here.
by Nickel Rover on Apr 28, 2025 12:19 PM CDT up reply actions

by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:20 PM CDT reply actions
PHI selects
Brandon Boykin CB from Georgia. Great value pick here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:22 PM CDT reply actions

Was that a handshake deal? Who threw the first punch?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:25 PM CDT reply actions
DET selects
OLB Ronnell Lewis from Oklahoma. Great value pick here, and he can teach House of Spears how to play dirty.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:27 PM CDT reply actions
HOU selects
Jared Crick DT (DE likely in this case) of Nebraska with pick 126 of the draft.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:30 PM CDT reply actions
dang
they are loaded on D these days. I really like Crick.
by Nickel Rover on Apr 28, 2025 12:36 PM CDT up reply actions
NYG selects
TE Adrien Robinson of Cincinnati. Well, he weighs more than most of the other TEs drafted today. Doesn’t necessarily have the highest grade. Go forth and block, young man?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:34 PM CDT reply actions
BAL selects
S Christian Thompson of SC St. with pick 130 of the draft.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:41 PM CDT reply actions

OT Brandon Mosley of Auburn. Great value pick.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:44 PM CDT reply actions
GB took their time here, but emerged from sweat lodge to select
DT Mike Daniels of Iowa.
They do have the following pick as well, so let’s hope they covered both decisions in that last session of perspiration.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:53 PM CDT reply actions
GB now selects
S Jeron McMillian of Maine. I assume he is beary beary good.
Ted Thompson and B.J. Raji can now tandem belly flop into an ice bath in celebration of Round Four selections.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:55 PM CDT reply actions
MIN selects
WR Greg Childs of Arkansas. Good value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:56 PM CDT reply actions
DAL selects
S Matt Johnson of Eastern Washington. Not the highest grade around.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 12:59 PM CDT reply actions
IND begins the fifth round by selecting
DT Josh Chapman of Alabama. Good value.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:00 PM CDT reply actions
DEN selects
Malik Jackson, DT?, from Tennessee. DT at 284? I’ll say DE instead.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:04 PM CDT reply actions
DET selects
Tahir Whitehead OLB from Temple. Seems a little high to me.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:08 PM CDT reply actions
MIN selects
CB Robert Blanton of Notre Dame. They seriously love them some Golden Domers. Coincidence that Mike Mayock has gotten pay checks from both? You decide.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:09 PM CDT reply actions
TB selects
Najee Goode, West (“by God” legally has to be inserted here) Virginia, ILB.

No word on whether or not his girlfriend will consider pressing charges against him in a nod to the other Brandon Marshall.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:20 PM CDT reply actions
CAR selects
Josh Norman CB from Coastal Carolina. Great value pick here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:21 PM CDT reply actions
BUF selects
Zebrie Sanders OT from Florida St. A huge value pick in my eyes.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:24 PM CDT reply actions
TEN trades w/ MIA & selects
Southern Methodist’s TE Taylor Thompson. He’s no Bo Scaife.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:28 PM CDT reply actions
While I'm thinking of it...
Thompson is a guy who has been playing DE, but has been working out at TE to get a shot in the NFL.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions
KC selects
De’Quan Menzie CB Alabama. Good value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:31 PM CDT reply actions
BUF selects
ILB Tank Carder of TCU with pick 147 of the draft.
Tank Carder is a volume dealer or tackles and other things. You can’t question this selection.

DET selects
CB Chris Greenwood of Albion. Really, Albion.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:36 PM CDT reply actions

MIA selects
LB Josh Kaddu OR with pick 155 in the draft.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:51 PM CDT reply actions
CIN selects
CB Shaun Prater of Iowa.
It has to be embarassing for Browns fans to watch their intrastate rival draft at such a high level compared to their own.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:56 PM CDT reply actions
ATL selects
WI FB Bradie Ewing. Does Ball come with him as a package deal? No? Alright then.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 1:57 PM CDT reply actions
OAK selects
Pedophile State University’s DE Jack Crawford. A good value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:01 PM CDT reply actions
PIT selects
RB Chris Rainey of Florida.
Good value, naturally. Maul defense, give to burner. It could work.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:04 PM CDT reply actions
CLE actually makes a decent pick
Ryan Miller G Colorado. Fair value here. Did an intern sneak in and make the call while Holmgren was napping post nachos?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:06 PM CDT reply actions
HOU selects
TAMU’s PK Randy Bullock with pick 161 of the draft. Not planning to stall in the redzone, are we?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:08 PM CDT reply actions

NC St. ILB Terrell Manning. Great value pick.
Shocking, right? Watch and learn, bad franchises.

STL selects
Greg Zuerlein, PK of MO Western. Rams fans rejoice!
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:40 PM CDT reply actions
SEA selects
Jeremy Lane CB from Northwestern St. A bad man from the Southland?

WAS is on the clock
There must be a QB available to draft here. Jordan Jefferson, come on down! Wait. I specifically asked for a quarterback. Next man up.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:44 PM CDT reply actions
WAS selects
Alfred Morris RB FL Atlantic
This is a devastating blow, perhaps even the death knell, to the eleven quarterback offense. Why Shanahans has Bruce Allen done this?
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:49 PM CDT reply actions
TB selects
CB Keith Tandy of the computing dynasty Tandys and proud Mountaineer of WV with pick 174 of the draft.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:52 PM CDT reply actions

JAC selects
CB Mike Harris from FL St. Good value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:56 PM CDT reply actions

Mark Asper G OR. One large duck at 6’6" 319.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 2:59 PM CDT reply actions
NO is on the clock w/ pick 179
Who can aid the nefarious sainthood of the Big Easy? Is Niccolò Machiavelli still on the big board?

SF selects
Trent(on) Robinson S from MI St. Good value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:04 PM CDT reply actions
KC uses the full time allotted and selects
RB Cyrus Gray from TAMU. Nice value pick to me.
Due to seniority, Charles is designated ebony and while Gray answers to ivory as they exist in perfect harmony.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:16 PM CDT reply actions
MIA selects
WR B.J. Cunningham of MI St. Good value.
Matt Moore can throw to Tannehill, Egnew, and Cunningham. Now we’re getting somewhere, Ross & Ireland.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:18 PM CDT reply actions
AZ selects
QB Ryan Lindley from San Diego St. While this is a fair value, John Skelton frowns on such behavior.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:23 PM CDT reply actions
DAL selects
James Hanna TE from OK. Fair value, I think. One needn’t do much to replace the contributions of Martellus Bennett anyway.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:27 PM CDT reply actions
DEN wastes no time and selects
KY OLB Danny Trevathan. Fair value.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:30 PM CDT reply actions
OAK selects
Christo Bilukidi DE GA St. Don’t know much about him, but 6’5" 290 sounds nice.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:34 PM CDT reply actions
TEN thinks very carefully, in theory, and selects
Markelle Martin S OK St.
Bud Adams nods approvingly.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:39 PM CDT reply actions
CIN selects
Dan Herron RB OH St.
Okay, they strayed from value here. Depth only, as far as I’m concerned. Chris Polk wants to know who he murdered to be passed up by Dan Herron.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 3:43 PM CDT reply actions
PHI selects
Iowa WR Marvin McNutt. Good value once more.

NYJ selects
Baylor RB Terrance Ganaway. Good value.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 4:10 PM CDT reply actions
NYJ follows up by selecting
Robert T. Griffin OT Baylor.
Why? I don’t know. He doesn’t appear to be best guard available, but good luck.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 4:15 PM CDT reply actions
CLE selects
Texas OLB Emmanuel Acho and Boise St. DT Billy Winn.
Not bad value, so I guess the intern got to do the picks again. My condolences, Acho.

CAR selects w/ the last pick of round six (207)
WI P Brad Nortman.

MIN now has back-to-back selections
Choose wisely, Rick.

The M.O.B. pranks a random passerby in his honor.

TB selects
RB Michael Smith UT St.
Second RB they’ve had drafted this year.

Cover your kids’ ears when he makes a tackle.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 4:42 PM CDT reply actions

MIA selects
WR Rishard Matthews NV. Great value here.
by Saul! on Apr 28, 2025 5:11 PM CDT reply actions
PHI selects
Bryce Brown RB KS St.
Chris Polk either has knees of 90 year-old or he’s a full blown serial killer. I suppose that’s an interesting turn of events for a scholarship athlete either way.

OAK selects
Nathan Stupar OLB from Pedophile State University.

Northwestern is taking over! I could be delirious.
Jeremy Ebert WR from you know where I think he’s from.

Cam Johnson DE VA. Great value pick, so he probably only murdered one person.

Oh...
For legal reasons I should note draft propects haven’t actually murdered anyone to my knowledge. They’re simply being shunned by NFL teams for whatever reason.

CLE selects
Brad Smelley TE AL. Not all that fast, but he can catch. Decent.

Edwin Baker RB MI St.
Good value here and ruins Mel Kiper’s plan to list him at the top of the prized rookie free agent pool.

John Potter PK Western MI.
He’s used to kicking is sub zero temperatures. That’s a plus.

Daryl Richardson RB Abilene Christian.
I feel bad for Chris Polk. From draft prospect to solitary confinement for the killing spree. Choose the team you sign your RFA deal with carefully and you might make it anyway.
