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

[Canadian Hog]

The 2025 draft is over and now I don't know what to do with myself.

Why the hell not - let's use this thread to start discussing the 2026 draft as you see fit now, throughout the upcoming season, and as we eventually enter next year's draft season.

If you're curious, here is a way too early 2026 mock draft that we can use as a point of reference as we start diving into prospects throughout the year to come.

Do you think we will get an edge next year? LOL

 

[DWinzit]

Dang is it ever early for this lol.

The defense will receive much more focus in 2026, especially at Edge, DT, LB and S. Offense will get strong looks at TE and RB

That's got to be a mistake.

Ahhh as is tradition. New draft thread starts before all the new draft picks even see the facility. All you guys doing research, thank you and I look forward to reading up on everyone’s draft crush come November haha.

A lot of edges in the 1st round there.

Lessons from Peters first two drafts. High ras scores, team captains, high character guys and top 30 visits are real with him. Pay attention to all of those going forward. They will be our picks. Peters sticks to his board and goes BPA with few exceptions. Which is the correct formula for building a dynasty. We are in good hands.

I'd have gone Antwaun Powell Ryland over Medrano personally. And I should have commented in another thread - sorry folks.

Also 4/5 guys we took were super seniors. Think he values experience and time on task

How is next year's draft at TE?
