My Draft Crushes are the twelve players from the last three draft classes I was banging the table for before draft night. For each one, we look at the numbers that matter most at his position, stack him up against his own draft class and the rest of the league, and revisit his signature plays. From 2024: Byron Murphy's nine run stops, Ladd McConkey's return to rookie form, Cole Bishop's one-handed interception against the Saints and T'Vondre Sweat's move to the Jets. From 2025: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Defensive Rookie of the Year Carson Schwesinger, Jacob Parrish and Jalen Royals. And the rookies: KC Concepcion, Jacob Rodriguez (who leads all NFL linebackers in stops), R Mason Thomas and fourth-round steal Keionte Scott.
