Welcome to the Season 85 MOF Draft Preview Podcast!
This one is a little different than the predictions episode. Instead of trying to guess playoff teams or Super Bowl matchups, we’re diving headfirst into the future of the league. This is all about the next wave. The franchise quarterbacks. The trench monsters. The lockdown corners. The sleepers who could become household names by Season 87.
Season 85 brings one of the most balanced draft classes we’ve seen in a while. The trenches are loaded. Edge rushers are deep. Cornerback might be one of the strongest groups in the class. Quarterback has multiple Round 1 talents. But linebacker? Safety? Those positions feel more strategic than splashy. That’s where smart drafting could separate contenders from rebuilders.
We’re breaking this entire class down position by position — just like the scouting screens. No mock draft. No forced projections. Just talent tiers, archetype fits, risers and fallers, and how team needs across the league could shape Round 1.
Chicago needs EDGE at the top. Vegas needs a quarterback. Multiple teams are hunting offensive line help. Several contenders are just one defensive piece away. And with teams holding multiple first-round picks, flexibility could define the night.
Will someone reach early for their guy?
Will the edge rushers fly off the board?
Does a quarterback slide?
Which sleeper becomes the steal of the draft?
This podcast and article are your full scouting guide heading into Round 1. We’ll touch on team needs as we go, spotlight risers, call out value picks, and build the storylines that will define Season 85.
Because draft night doesn’t just add players.
It changes power in the MOF.
And it all starts here. 🏈
