NFL experts debate the draft: What were the best -- and most puzzling -- picks?
Briefly

The 2025 NFL Draft yielded standout selections that could shape the future of participating teams. Analysts praised the Las Vegas Raiders for their choice of running back Ashton Jeanty at No. 6, citing his potential for immediate impact. The Ravens' selection of defensive player Starks received acclaim for enriching their defensive strategy. The Raiders also made waves with their intriguing back-to-back picks in receiver Tommy Mellott and quarterback Cam Miller, indicating a focus on versatility. The week will further highlight rookies and fantasy prospects emerging from this draft.
I love when draft picks have an immediate impact, and Jeanty can do exactly that. The Raiders were last in the league in rushing yards in 2024.
Baltimore has built much of its recent success on being strong up the middle of the defense. Starks should be a perfect fit with that plan.
Mellott will likely convert from quarterback to receiver and become a Taysom Hill-like gadget player on special teams.
