The Bill Simmons Podcast
The 2025 NFL Free Agency Awards With Danny Heifetz, Craig Horlbeck, and Danny Kelly

They keep taking defensive linemen even though they have one of the best D-lines in the NFL. They keep building on a strength, build in the trenches, take premium positions. It just makes sense. I think especially in a draft like this where the tackle class is really deep. You could get a good tackle in the second round in theory. You can get a defensive tackle in the second round.

You don't have to take Mason Graham in the first round necessarily, even though I think those guys are really good. I think Will Campbell's really good. I think Mason Graham's really good. I think this is exactly the type of draft where you don't have to take for need. You can just take what player you think is the best player.

I put him one tier below that, I think. I think he's really good. He breaks a ton of tackles. In fact, I think he broke PFF's record for broken tackles in his season last year. So he's obviously, you know, gyroscopic balance, breaks a ton of tackles. He's really slippery. He has some explosiveness to him.

I just don't think I put him quite on the level of like the Saquon Bijon, you know, Adrian Peterson tier where this is a last 20 years. This is actual a generational pick. You know what I mean? I think he is one slight tier down and that's not a knock on him. I think he's really good, but I don't think I'm quite ready to put him in that tier.

Uh, what could go wrong? Um, so here's the deal. Sam Darnold, uh, I don't think he's as good as Geno Smith. However, he is 27 years old. He's quite a bit younger. He's probably going to be cheaper, I think, at the end of the day. And there is this theory or scenario where he could turn out to be a longer-term solution for the Seahawks at quarterback.

Right now, this contract is actually very middling. It's a middle-class contract. They can get out of it if they really had to after a year, probably.
