Rich Eisen · Apr 28, 2025
Eisen said Russell Wilson should and would start for the Giants with Dart sitting, doubted Shedeur Sanders even makes the Browns roster, called three top-five teams making the playoffs an overreaction while naming Jacksonville as the one he'd pick, and predicted Joe Flacco holds a roster spot in Cleveland while Kirk Cousins only starts if Pittsburgh loses out on Rodgers. He also said Dallas whiffed by not taking Tyler Warren and floated Drew Allar as a possible No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft.
“If I had to peg one team from the top five to make it, it would be Jacksonville.”

- Roster Spot CallsJoe FlaccoCleveland BrownsApr 28, 2025
Joe Flacco to make the roster
“I think he's just gonna be like, you got the roster spot, pal.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
Travis Hunter to finish top ? at his position, by interceptions
“I think he's gonna be tremendous.”
Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.
