Isaiah Bond's short career with the Texas Longhorns didn't go exactly as planned since he was fighting through injury for much of his 2024 season. However, his early season flashes with Texas were apparently impressive enough that he is still likely going to be selected early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
As the NFL Draft nears, Bond continues to take NFL "Top 30" visits with numerous teams and it's finally beginning to reveal where he might actually land.
Isaiah Bond visits with Packer and Falcons
Prior to this week Isaiah Bond had already taken private visits with the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans. Now according to Ian Rapoport he met with the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday and will meet with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday.
It's great to see that much interest in Bond, but what does that mean for his NFL Draft stock exactly?
Coming out of the 2024 college football regular season Isaiah Bond was still largely expected to be a potential late first round or early second round pick. Unfortunately, after the College Football Playoff run highlighted his teammate Matthew Golden, and Bond played his worst football of the year, his NFL Draft stock tanked (as you can see in the image below).
Bond's expected draft range bottomed out around pick 80, and now it's been climbing back towards late round two in the last week or two according to large sample mock draft data. Our own A to Z Sports internal NFL Draft projections agree with that data as well, expecting his floor to be early round three.
When that consensus knowledge gets combined with the most interested teams in Bond throughout this spring it becomes abundantly clear that some NFL team is likely to take a stab at him in the mid to later portions of round two in the NFL Draft.
The Cowboys and Falcons are situated earliest among the teams to host him for private visits who could select him in his expected draft range at picks 44 and 46 respectively. The Packers (who just met with Bond this week) are sitting at 54, the Texans at 58, Chiefs at 63, and then the Browns sit at Bond's likely floor selection of 67.
The Bills might be the actually favorite to land Bond based on all their activity with him (four confirmed visits this spring). Plus they actually have two picks inside the projected range where Bond might be selected (pick 56 and 62). Even if most of the other teams who have held private workouts and visits with Bond let him get to the Bills, it's unlikely that Buffalo–a team that desperately needs speed at WR–lets him get past pick 62.
