0:00On April 22nd, the 2025 NFL draft is just two days out, and the buzz is electric. Teens like the Las Vegas Raiders are locked in on Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza at their spot, not even fielding trade calls. But others, like the Arizona Cardinals, keep everyone guessing. Washington commanders hold the number seven pick, and coach Dan Quinn has his eyes on Ohio State linebacker sunny styles if he's still around. If styles goals early, though, sports-illustrated writer Connor Orr has a solid backup plan for the commander's Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. That speedy receiver could be a perfect fit next to quarterback Jaden Daniels stretching the field right away. Fans are split on this, with some loving the defensive upside of styles and others hyped for Tate's playmaking. Both guys come from that powerhouse Ohio State squad that just won the national championship in 2024. People sleep on overlooked talents like quarterback Will Howard either. Either, he transferred from Kansas State, took the starting job, and even snagged.
