Face it, there were no standout players there on offense.

 

Randall or Dorsett, both ranked as early second rounders are who I would have opted for simply because Shaq is a hybrid and I cannot envision how we would use him.  Our coaching staff obviously knows how they are going to use him and see him as a great asset.

 

In the second, WR, OT, and even another surprise like Maxx Williams can all help our team

I'm a huge Devin Smith & Jake Fisher fan. That being said, this draft fell the worst way possible for us. 

 

Flowers @ 9

Peat @ 13

Agholor @ 20

 

The deal breaker was Arizona at #24 - DJ Humphries. I think if Hump is there, we aren't even having the Shaq conversation this morning. 

 

That being said, Thompson's talent is incredible and I love the foresight to think beyond the coming season.

I honestly have no idea.  When Humphries went I was like "Landon is a Panther" but that's not necessarily who I wanted. 

 

I picked Peat in my only mock because of his potential but if he busts, he could be Bell/Oher bad if he doesn't translate well to the big leagues.  I'm happy he's with NO...hope Ealy demolishes the guy.

The main crybabies always manage to avoid going on the record for who they would have picked. They'll pipe in about 3/4 of the way through the season if some one that got drafted after Shaq is balling out (even if Shaq proves to be an absolute game changer)

Just because it's sequential: you calling me a crybaby? haha

 

I don't think I complain too much here during the reg seasons.

I love Dorsett and was extremely excited watching his tape but nobody realizes he wasn't hyped up into the 1st round until very very recently. He was overdrafted plain and simple. Devin Smith is a better prospect overall, as he has slightly slower speed, albeit extremely fast still, good body control, can adjust to the ball while its in the air, he has enough size to fight for a ball if needed, and he has more experience finding success in mid range routes rather than just depending on go routes with no deep coverage to score. 

Shaq was absolutely BPA where we were picking, though the pick would have been Humphries if Arizona didn't take him. Apparently everyone complaining about our pick missed Gettleman's press conference tuesday where he said he had about 4 OT he thought would make an impact, and he wasn't going to reach to take one if it came down to it. We will take an OT and a receiver or 2 before this is all said and done. The draft isn't won on the first night anyways. It never has been.

That was definitely not directed at you.

I'm not going on the record either because I haven't a clue who would have been better at 25...but I'm also not bitching about the pick like it's the end of the world either.

Haha cool cool.  Yeah I always just try to stay cautiously optimistic during the offseason.  It's so crazy how things turn out sometimes.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
