    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 2

    I think Jacob Rodriguez has good instincts in both run and coverage defense. He is probably just an average athlete and he is not physical. He is not going to take on a blocker in the hole, he is going to make the tackle 4 yards past the line of scrimmage. But in terms of covering his own gap...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 2

    Golday is a heck of an athlete. I haven't watched but I don't get the sense he was as physical as Leo Chanel. Cory Kinnan said in his 7 seasons of analyzing drafts, Chanel and Arvell Reese are the two most physical offball LB's he has analyzed in his film review of Reese's game against...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    He certainly could go earlier because it is not a good RB class. Some teams could have him as #3 RB. But the impression I get is he would get like a 5th round grade. He is a high floor prospect--lack of power profile and not a dynamic athlete, but his vision great, he does the small small...

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

    I responded to that earlier, but I think the Giants and the Browns probably are not taking an Edge (though you never know). To me if the three pass rushers go it is going to be the Jets, Cardinals, and Titans and in that regards we are not that different than if we were picking 5.

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    The DaftonDraft guys mentioned him and two others as possible Tackles on day 3 to bet on. And I think they may have liked him the most out of the three. One of the other two was Marquel Bell from Miami who they liked, but thought his most likely outcome would be that he develops into a good...

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

    I have not watched Mauigoa, but I listen to three NFL Draft podcasts. I have heard teh Daftondraft guys talk about him a lot and they think he is like Will Campbell. As a guard prospect hes one of the top prospects in this class. As a tackle prospect he is probably down a tier because of the...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    I watched Emmett Johnson against UCLA. The 5'11", 200-pound running back out of Nebraska had a solid game. Nothing really wowed me, but he’s a good player. He looks like a dependable, well-rounded back without one dominant trait that jumps off the screen. As a Runner: His biggest strength is...

    We would have had the tiebreaker over the Giants.

    I am not sure either the Giants or Browns go Edge though. If the Edges are gone by #7 I think there is a real possibility they are gone by #5 too. But if that did happen we would still have Tate on the board as an option.

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    I am going to an evaluation of Emmett Johnson's game against UCLA either tonight or tomorrow. He has nice vision and can make guy miss. I watched about half that game last night and he already took a screen pass to the house for like a 50 yard TD.

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 2

    Part of that is you could be drafting receiver 14 in round three vs. safety 4 given that receiver is a more valuable position and teams draft receivers early and often. Like if you compared receiver 14 to safety 14 you may get similar results but because you are getting safety 4 vs. receiver 14...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    I watched Gracen Halton against Alabama and Missouri. He’s mostly what you’d expect from a smaller defensive tackle — a good interior pass rusher with quickness and twitch, but someone who will get displaced against double teams and down blocks. Pass Rush: Halton’s bread and butter is a rip...

    He would a decent option at 71. Matchup I watched was against Duke and Chandler Rivers followed him. He played half his snaps in the slot and half at z. He is a good route runner, had a nice release as he faced a lot of press coverage, and is fast (4.4ish). His routes were good, but limited...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 2

    Chris Brazzell, Brennan Thompson (I posted about him in the other thread last week), Ted Hurst, and Byrce Lance are names that come to mind. Also any of the X receivers even if the are not that fast (guys like Malachi Fields)

    It was a good pick, but they do have a tight salary cap situation so there are some consequeces to it. But with hindsight I would say it worked. But if you do pick a non premium position, you really have to hit on the pick. There is more leeway to draft an average starter if its at a premium...

    I don't think KC will move up for Love. If they move up it will be for a premium position, probably an Edge. They are in the latter half of Mahomes window where salary cap matters. Breece Hall is going to get maybe 16 aav. An equal Edge would get 35 million aav in free agency. I think KC...

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

    That is tricky because we don't know the defensive scheme. In the Vikings scheme there is the Van Ginkel role which is a hybrid onball/offball linebacker spot. Generally onball Linebackers are considered edges are paid as premium positions. And offball linebackers are not considered premium...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I get the instinct — the room feels thin, Jayden is young, and you want to insulate him with as many credible options as possible. But there’s a difference between upgrading the room and over-allocating resources to one position group. Let’s just walk through the math calmly. We’ve got roughly...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    For what its worth Luke McCaffrey was kind of emerging as a poor's man Alec Pierce last year. He basically played in 8 games last year (he technically played in 9, but he was lost for the season on the opening kickoff against Seattle) and had 11 catches for 203 yards so he was on pace for like...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    It is a deep WR class. The top is not particularly stacked. There are maybe 6 or 7 guys with first round potential (Tate, Lemon, Tyson, Boston, Concepcion, Cooper), but there is another 15 guys or so with top round potential and then there are like 15 more guys who seem like solid day 3 guys...
