My preference at this point:

Steichen

Dorsey

Ryans (they said both parties may "circle back" later in the process)

Kafka

Wilks

Reich (because I think we could get him as OC if Wilks retained)

Broncos DC

Caldwell

Payton (If rumored 2 1sts from Panthers is true. If only one future 1st or less, he rises to top 2)

***My top 4 are close to interchangeable. A lot of potential and unknown with each of them. Similar candidates with differing approaches. Hopeful we choose the right one.

He has interviews scheduled with 2 teams this weekend.  Not with the Panthers.

I think Ryans is giving Carolina the stiff arm. He's somehow managed to schedule interviews with the other 4 vacancies today through Saturday but couldn't find a time to interview with the Panthers?

Is there word on how any of these interviews have gone so far?

All I've seen is that Reich impressed via Sheena Quick.

No word on how Steichen was received via vid conference, but I think we're following up with an in-person for him if I recall.  Didn't hear anything on Caldwell (wouldn't put too much stock in that) or Evero.  

Kafka's interview on Sunday may be once they're officially out of contention (or) it could be pushed if they win.  If the latter is the case, Steichen could get flown in sooner than expected.  If the former is and it goes well, we could hear news early next week.

I wouldn’t read much into the “2 firsts” for SP. That’s their initial asking price, which is intentionally inflated from what the likely final price will be. It’s conceivable we give up 9th overall though, which I am not a fan of

I think it was said to be a more logistical issue last week. Plus, he probably sees that a primary focus is on offensive guys.

      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.
