Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first. Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well). Also he was an WR and CB in high school. This is why I always thought his route running was solid. I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level. I just like him as a prospect.

I think I agree with Schefter at this point. Trenches just makes sense. I'm thinking one of McDonald, Miller, or Lomu. (Based on 30 visits)

Just win it. Don’t care how.

Canes 57 hits was a move to destroy the Sabres mindset that the Canes were overmatched physically, and it worked. I expect some solid Canes hockey tonight and a win. Throw in a fight with Cousins as a bonus. Tkachuk gave some respect to the canes so I may not call him a name tonight. not saying I won’t for sure lol.

With three of those guys in our range of #19, it should be. I still don't think so. It's WR or OT. Miller is a RT and that's not the OT we immediately need.

I think this may be the year...

Would love it if McCoy or Thieneman drop to 19. I think Mesidor could be a surprise pick for us also at 19 if his medicals check out. But yeah, I think OT is probably the most likely pick at 19.

The Panthers are interested in receiver at 19, but I’ve been told Lemon, if available, isn’t as high on our board as the others. #Panthers https://x.com/bthatespanthers/status/2046307623327379559?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Hopefully that means the Giants draft a WR/TE and an edge or LB move down. Not sure it impacts the draft that much though

I have to disagree on most of what you said. His route tree is his biggest weakness. The only routes I would say he looked great on were seams, screens, and slants. His curls were ok while the routes that require sharp cuts (dig, out, corner) were poorly ran by him. Granted, route trees are something that can be developed by NFL teams, it just might take a while for Sadiq. His blocking I am not sure on. He blocked corners/safeties/hybrid coverage LBs pretty well from the slot. I haven't seen if he can block/chip in the box LBs or down linemen and we have no tape of if he can do it at the y-tight end spot. He is a willing blocker which is good. He should be explosive after the catch, but it for whatever reason hasn't shown up on tape. This is probably one of the most baffling things for me watching his tape after his crazy good combine - the dude should be a YAC machine, but it just isn't there on his tape. Not saying this article is article of the year or anything, but it gave pretty good insight into Sadiq's YRR and YAC last season. https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/football/news/should-te-kenyon-sadiq-be-a-first-round-pick-with-these-red-flags-in-his-nfl-draft-profile

Happy Logan Dankoven Day!!! Time to smoke some OG Ottawa Kush!

Here is Shefter's take: (Panthers at 28:40)

I'm just worried the only scenario where Rodriguez is a Panther is us finding a trade down partner in the 1st. Seems he's getting 1st round buzz now, and worst case would be the typical pick 33 or 34 guy on Day 2 which will probably be too rich for our trade up blood.

Not when he'll be damaged goods by then. Maybe lop off a first for it.

Mirror the Goff/Stafford trade...Bryce, two 1sts, filler. Burrow 2027, make it happen.

I wouldn't hate trading down if the price is right...

Kleven and Zub are out. Jensen was already on IR. All 3 are D-men. This is who they called up:

The Browns, lol. This got me thinking though, if they pass on proctor at #6 (likely) and he's still on the board at #19, we trade back with them. The reason? The team most people have Lomu married to just re-signed their LT, Williams with the 49ers. If both guys are there and the team feels #19 is a little rich for Lomu, trade back to #24, The Browns get their tackle and we get ours, oh, and some draft capital to boot.

This tells me that they are going all in the next 2 years for a SB and if that fails they will be moving all their stars

Here's a different spin from ESPN's Jordan Reid's final mock: (thank goodness) https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/48480079/2026-nfl-mock-draft-seven-rounds-257-picks-predictions-jordan-reid-fits

The KC talk reminds me of the Walker smokescreen last year

I would love to trade back with the 159th pick. Having back to back picks gives that luxury. When mocking, I really need 9 picks to give me the sense of hitting all the need areas. While I doubt we pick up two extra picks, at least one more will help.

This was a really dumb trade by the Bengals. Lawrence is knocking the door of 30 and is coming off of a very down year. When you're closing in on 30 it's fair to wonder if it was a down year or are the wheels falling off? Huge explosive guys often age like dairy products (Kris Jenkins comes to mind). Meanwhile, their OL is still a disaster and Burrow is getting the hell beat out of him every year and is already starting to openly talk about potentially retiring. Given their massive investment in him and WRs, I would've gone all in on OL this offseason. They had a decent chance to have their pick of the OL litter with that pick. If he's not washed, Lawrence should help their anemic defense, but it won't help their superstar QB from rising off into the sunset because he's tired of getting beat to hell every Sunday and that would've been my priority.
