On Tuesday, The 33rd Team’s Steve Palazzolo used his “Check The Mic” podcast with Sam Monson to release a two-round mock draft for 2025, in which he sent an edge rusher to the Kansas City Chiefs with the 31st pick of the first round: Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr.
Palazzolo didn’t offer any analysis about this pick.
To make it, he skipped over Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr. (who was taken by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 32nd pick), Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden II (35th), Alabama guard Tyler Booker (40th), Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander (42nd), Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams (43rd), Texas A&M EDGE Nic Scourton (44th) and Minnesota tackle Aireontae Ersery (61st).
