The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

[Conn]

Dallas trades with Miami, move up from 20!

Now picking at 11 + 12

EDIT: this is wrong, broadcast just updated the ticker. They moved up from 12 to 11, for Bain I assume? Or MIA would’ve taken him

Give the Giants credit for going BPA with both picks, not at all what I expected but they got good value and beefed up the trenches. I’m glad it’s not Love, but they played it smart.

 

[IdahoFan]

Cowboys moving up for Downs

 

[clskinsfan]

So the Giants gave up an all pro DT for a guard. Bwahahahahaahaha!

 

[RWJ]

Downs will wear the star in Dallas????

 

[Conn]

Wow, Downs is really slipping for a guy of his talent.

Idk, I thought he’d be perfect for Harbaugh BUT he is a box safety who lives off his brain rather than his athleticism. An odd type of S to go this high, arguably

 

[Dah-Dee]

Haha, Cowboys have to wait through commercial.

Nah. Moved up from 12. They can have Downs, I’m super off him.

Very happy with Styles for WAS given the way the top 6 went.
Was worried that NYG would end up with Love and Downs, that would've been a problem. Reese/Mauigoa is much more manageable.

Well when you put it like that I like it a lot

would prefer if they traded up for a center

 

[Conn]

If Madden wasn’t ass every year and I still played, I’d user Styles and finish every season with 25 sacks + 10 INT with that 4.46 speed 😂

Reese is scary, but we have good tackles. Mauigoa is not a sexy pick, but picking good oline is smart.

But yeah I’m relieved they didn’t get Love.

Well you see Harbaugh is a genius. Hasn’t he told you? They’re gonna be so fucking hateable the next few years.

 

[Bulldog]

if the comp is really Brian Urlacher and not a Huey Richardson type tweener than the pick is inspired given he was rated #4 and went at #7.

Now Peters needs to get creative and get Jayden some help at WR.

 

[Conn]

Measly two 5th round picks to jump the Dolphins and ensure they get their guy

 

[Faithful Fan]

Cowboys moved up to take Downs, would rather he wasn’t in our division honestly.

 

[HailYeah]

Three Ohio state guys from this draft in our division this year

Styles has never been a tweener, we’ve been trying to tell you for a month. That’s much more a Reese descriptor

Agreed on WR
