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

Stupid towels

Every time I see Lemon on screen I'm very unsure of him.

Guy’s a freak, no doubt about it. Unsettling eyes. If you were riding the same subway, you’d get up and stand by the furthest door just out of instinct

 

[Faithful Fan]

This is probably the least football technical comment about our newest prospect, but how could we not draft a guy with the name Sonny Styles!!! Coolest name in the draft!! If i didn't follow football and heard that name I'd think he was a mafia character from the movie Goodfellas lol..............Never mind the fact this guy is an absolute athletic FREAK. Hard to say what the defense will look like next year but we're definitely younger and faster. Can't wait to see how we utilize his athletic skills

I had the same thought. Nomen est omen.

I’ll add that Washington just said goodbye to another great Sonny.

tickled Snyder’s balls

Do me a favor.

NEVER EVER say this phrase again.

Thank you in advance.

Insane OL run. Wish we had a 2nd so I could care about the names that’ll be left

bro just showed his ass to the nation lol

It might have been genius.

It was also revolting.

We have something better than a 2nd.

We have a top 3 LT who might be a HOF player.

Cannot believe the Chargers just drafted a 25 year old with injury issues

His first name is Alexander. Sonny is a nickname…based on the Sonny character in The Godfather due to his behavior as a child.

When do they normally release "the call" video? OK to not make a Vrabel reference here

 

[prodigy]

so who are we hoping for in round 3? I got turned onto ted hurst. sounded like he might not make it. anyone else that would be realistically in range at our pick?

 

[Birdlives]

Better Sonny than Fredo

Elijah Sarratt, Keionte Scott - don’t think either are there.

There’s just too much time between now and then to guess.

The Cowboys Spaceball clown--if he has children, they definitely are perpetually embarrassed by him

Well, I'm tossing down the gauntlet: With Quinn as a defensive minded HC, and the moves they made on defense + new DC + 7th overall pick in the draft going to defense.

This better damn well be a top 10 unit next year. Yeah, the CB situation is a little dicey, and they probably need to sign a guy there, but we should have speed at every level of the defense.

If this isn't a top 10 unit, it's going to cost multiple people their jobs. Because I think they're going to have to hold teams to <20 to win enough games to make the playoffs, because the offense probably is in the ~23PPG category. That would have been spot average at 16th in the NFL last year. Which is what I think they're going to end up unless they add several more legitimate weapons.

Our corners could be awful and the defense has no excuse not to be top 12. I’ll give them the extra 2 places to account for injuries.

Gotta get Blough and JD help now.
