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

[method man]

Meh... He doesn't really do anything for me (other than probably cost way more than he's worth).

Id honestly rather take a risk on Diggs, Allen, or Hill. I understand the issues that come with Diggs and Hill... but on a one year deal, that's better than overpaying for a mediocre WR IMO

Edit: If Jennings is willing to sign a 1 yr deal, I'm much more interested... but I suspect that option isn't really on the table

I'm good with Diggs and Allen too. Just forgot about them. My point is, if they don't take WR in the 1st, they need to bring in a proven starting caliber receiver whether it be Jennings, Diggs or Allen

Honestly not sure it’s a debate. Corner is still a major need, Delane is a potential lock down, should be there at 7, and is a premium position.

I know we all want a flash offensive guy, me included, but he should be pick if he’s there. Unless you believe Styles is Micah Parsons and hes still there.

I agree on signing at least one vet pre-camp, but not sure Hill should or even might be that guy, very bad injury and no idea what his recovery really looks like. Be a little bit surprised at this point if he plays in 2026 and, if he does, even more surprised if he has any significant impact.

Giants just traded Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for a package that includes the #10 overall pick, wow

Uh oh. They may have just become Love’s floor.

I really think they already were, but it feels like that seals the deal. I wonder who their target will be at 10 - hoping for a Downs slide?

They’re going to wind up with Love and Downs. Fuckin shit.

I hope that's true, looks to me like Tyson has BUST written all over him in permanent neon marker. Rather see them take him than Lemon or a potential defensive impact player like Downs/Bain/Delane/McCoy.

If they draft Tyson it will be absolutely fantastic. Styles is a tough pill but better than Love and Downs.

 

[RWJ]

Yep, Tyson makes a ton of sense at #10. Only team that would sign him before the Giants might be the Chiefs at #9. If we can't get Love at #7 I hope the Titans land him at #4. I don't like saying that as the Giants could swoop in at #5 and draft Love. Most on here want Love at #7 but you all know what I mean.

 

[RWJ]

It's going to be a long wait from pick #4 on.....Thursday night.

How do these teams get premium picks for DT's that are no better than Payne stat wise?

Dexter Lawrence is miles better of a player than Payne

 

[KDawg]

There is no way they go Tyson at 5 and OL at 10, is there? If they trade Lawrence and do that… that’s pretty good for the Commanders imo

No he's not ..
