The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

I really appreciate that skinsinparadise !

The list surely includes a few other players I like. It was you that introduced me to Stribling but you have introduced me to numerous players that were not on my radar prior to your posting. I'm sure others will agree.

I have grown into a fan of Denis-Sutton as the draft season has progressed.

I have had my eye on Bentley along with a couple other TE's as late targets for months.

Hill was my first 2026 draft crush. I have fallen off on him some but there is a chance he falls some. If that happens he'd be a nice value fit.

Speaking of guys who have fallen, how about Lane?

Thanks again!
 
WR converted to RB, McShay likes to tout him every now and then.

 
Nikki J had Denis-Sutton as her pick at 71 in her commander mock yesterday
 
I’ve heard pretty good things about the depth at wide receiver so I’m definitely not out at 71. I’ve heard little good about running back plus I think we are fine there even if we do nothing. I’m okay with getting Love because he may be a superstar, but other than him I have little to no interest in drafting a rb.

Semi-related tangent….

I gotta say, I respect the hell out of how McNichols performed as a 3rd down back last year. Much like Reaves, not a guy you want starting, but surprisingly effective when called on, and man, what heart those two have. McNichols was really clutch on a number of 3rd/4th down conversions, including some that seemed like he had no shot.

Not trying to make him out to be more than he is, I just thought I’d give him his flowers for what he was able to do for us.
 
Strongly agree. Both have come up big. They aren't Superman and maybe they're not even Robin, but they are great to have on the team and outplay expectations routinely.
 
I know he's uncool with some in the draft community but if he falls to the 5th, I'll keep beating the drum for his guy

 
I posted this elsewhere but it belongs more here, this is my take on the Wrs

1. Carnell Tate -- mid-late first -- comp Devonta Smith

2. Jordyn Tyson -- mid-late first -- comp poor man's Stefan Diggs
3. Omar Cooper -- late first -- comp Luther Burden
4. Makai Lemon -- late first -- comp poor man's St. Brown
5. Denzel Boston -- late first-early 2nd -- comp poor man's Drake London
6. KC Concepcion -- late first-early 2nd -- maybe the most explosive WR in this draft
7. Germie Bernard -- 2nd round -- does everything well, nothing great but very steady
8. Anotinio Williams -- 2nd round -- a rich man's Jamison Crowder
9. Elijah Sarratt -- 2nd-3rd round -- not sexy, not the best seperator, but consistently gets the job done
10. De-Zhaun Stribiling -- 2nd-3rd round round. Explosive, great tools. Poor man's Concepcion, not as explosive but more physical
11. Ted Hurst -- 2nd-3rd round -- don't have enough footage to go deep on him but like his hands-movement skills
12. Chris Brazzell -- 2nd-3rd round -- poor man's Alec Pierce
13. Skyler Bell -- 3rd round fun YAC player, good hands
14. Deion Burks -- 3rd round -- underratted, sort of a quicker but not as smooth route runner as Antonio Williams
15. Ja'Kobi Lane 3rd-4th -- poor man's Carnell Tate, some personality issues
16. Malachi Fields 3rd-4th. Overrated as a contested catcher, but underrated hands, deep threat. Taller Noah Brown.
17. Zacriah Branch 3rd-4th. Overrated by Kiper and McShay IMO. Rich man's Jayiln Lane.
16. Brenan Thompson -- 4th. Aldrick Robinson?
17. Bryce Lance -- 4th. Physical freak but very raw and older prospect.
18. Kendrick Law -- 5th-6th -- great YAC player, physical and quick with the ball in his hands. Similar idea to Branch
19. Cyrus Allen --5th-6th -- probably drops further than this. Similar idea to Antonio Williams
20. Malik Benson 6th -- potential as a deep threat, which he was better with YAC especially with his speed

This is interesting. I was tracking Randall as an incoming Freshman many years ago, when he was a top tier WR recruit, as a potential deep devy pick in dynasty leagues. Never pulled the trigger and lost track of him over the years, through a position switch and all. The guy is a really great athlete with some receiving skills, but with the physical profile of a workhorse. He won’t be a workhorse, because those guys earn the touches in college almost always. But he could be a fun depth RB with tools near the end of the draft. A developmental 3rd down back with near-Derrick Henry size is interesting and our RB room is really not that talented right now over all. An under the radar profile I could see AP digging, with mystery upside. My type of late round pick, if they still aren’t happy with the RB room (I wouldn’t be)
 
When I was watching the Ohio State defense, Lorenzo Styles would shine from time to time, the 4.2 and change speed would show as to his range and he had a mean streak that his brother ironically doesn't share as much albiet I do love his brother as a player.

 
If you told me weeks back I'd be rooting for the Cards to take Love at 3, it would come off crazy but I think he's going to the Giants otherwise, so am hoping the Cards grab him.

 
We still have to consider center as the team ignored the other 5 or 6 veterans in free agency after cutting Biadasz and seeing Linderbaum sign for skill position money.
 
I don’t want much.

I just want to see this team pull off a Draft Day scenario where Costner turns one first round pick pick into four and still gets the guy he wants 😎

Wouldn’t mind Slaughter. There are WR’s still available in FA and no centers, essentially.

Yeah, but the WRs are mostly guys that are 32 or 33 years old.

We need to use #71 on WR or. CB.

Trading UPshould also be on table.

I would like to see us get into the 58-60 range and grab a guy who falls.

It sure feels more like Lorenzo could be targeted in the 7th round now
 
Koziol TE Houston
CJ Daniels WR Miami -think he can legitimately be a WR2 in this league

CJ is incredibly inconsistent. But has moments for sure. But he’s a developmental flier. Not against it. But he’s a later round let’s see what happens guy.
 
Day 3,

DT, IOL, flyer on an athletic freak, kicker.
