[Irish#1]

Article on the Colts have them taking him in the 2nd round and Watts in the third.

Boy oh boy, its going to be a tense and long month for Benjamin.
The most recent mock I just saw on PFF had him going 59th to the Ravens

(2025 NFL Mock Draft: Travis Hunter joins Patriots before Bills, Bears and Titans make big trades)

If he were to slip into the third round, then he got some terrible advice turning down a (possible) $750K to $1M to stay at ND for another season and build back up his likely1st Rd grade in 2026 draft stock.

Hoping for the best!
He deserves better then late second or early third, but hip injuries for corners are no joke.

His play last season is going to hurt his draft stock

This is Kyle Hamilton all over again.

NFL teams gonna ignore film of an elite player doing elite shit against elite competition in favor of measurables.

If the Ravens or Steelers luck into an under-valued BenMo, I’ll throw a temper tantrum to rival my toddler

 

[rtrn2glory]

With his injury I wouldn't think about him until round 3.... And I'm biased obviously

It's going to happen.

I dunno. He's a great cover corner but he's small and has had two major injuries in 12 months. I can understand the skepticism.

Isn't 6 foot pretty normal?

Same height and weight as Will Johnson at the combine. 6’0 193

EDIT: WRONG

 

[IAIrish]

Same height and weight as Will Johnson at the combine. 6’0 193

Wait, weren't they pumping him to be 6-3?

 

[Old Man Mike]

Darrelle Revis was 5'11".

Let's give our guy a chance.

Prediction: He kicks ass.

Also not a great tackler but that doesn’t seem to hurt guys as much as it used to

 

[Old Man Mike]

It's just possible that Deion Sanders never tackled a single player on purpose. (He might have stumbled into one's path accidentally.)

 

[Dale]

My mistake Johnson is 6’2. I remembered something was the same. Just the weight.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Has he had his workout or combine thing he was supposedly going to do

 

[jprue24]

Probably as close to the draft as possible.

 

[CanadalovesND]

BMO doing his "pro day" three days before the draft. Hopefully a good amount of scouts will show up. Usually the final week leading up to the draft, the scouts are permanently buried in film inside their teams facilities.

Giving “panicky” vibes…

 

[ACamp1900]

Shame he didn’t just come back,… would have still made good money and could have earned a more fitting draft spot

If he tests well maybe it will smooth some health concerns?

 

[MacIrish75]

Possibly so. It seems like a gamble to me, but could definitely pay dividends if he performs well.

ND kids are always so damn impressive / well spoken in interviews

I don't think it really matters. Teams that are interested in him will send someone(s). He's a day 2 pick now, and this will show teams he's ready for rookie mini camp and/or to be a full go for OTAs.

 

[T-Boone]

he should be able to undeclare and come back. They could change that rule to 14 days before the draft to change your mind.

I imagine that's why ND gets the kids it gets.

I completely agree, for some reasons the Ravens seem to be that franchise that just finds quality football players in high value draft positions and ignore the measurable BS, and it pays off more often than not. They're always finding gems on defense.

This is the second year in a row where the Packers are DB needy late in the first round, and I'm not holding my breath that they'll do the right thing here. I wanted Cooper DeJean in GB so badly last year and they passed.

Similar to you, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Min. like Harrison Smith, and I'll have to watch a domer alum wreak havoc for a decade plus twice a year.

pretty sure they have a short window to do so, and if they sign an agent it's a done deal.
