#8 - I'm still on team trade back, but Pearce is growing on me.  His run defense is very strong, could be a great value pick.

#57 - Collins = best run defender in the draft. Fits a solid need.  Him, DB, and Robinson will be solid.

#74 - Royals speed freak with a great route tree.  

#109 - Schwesinger solid MLB with pass rush ability and could be a special teams freak while he adapts to the NFL

#112 - If Mukuba last this long it would be a miracle.  This pick is a good spot for a safety.  Moore from Alabama, Bowmans from OK could also be options here.

#140 -Dylan Sampson.  He has big play RB potential.  I'm not sure he really fits in our scheme.  I wanted Ollie Gordon II = big bruiser.  He could be a good 3rd down back and So see pick #216.

#148 - Belton.  We need an offensive linemen that actually plays tackle full time for depth purposes.

I was going to a no trade draft, but I can't help myself.

Trade = #168/#223 and a 2025 4th round pick in exchange for #172, 215, 216

#172 - Jordan Philips Maryland.  I would have drafted him at #168.  Lab built physical DL specimen. Very young, let's develop him.

#215 - Jah Joyner - 6'5" 260 freaky athlete.  Have him learn under Clowney for a year and turn him into an Edge setter with pass rush ability.

#216 - Mullings - 6'2" 232 - Give us a big back where we can rest Chuba in our Jumbo set.

We only have a 7th in the last two rounds and a 5th is probably a little high unless we are talking about getting the next Justin Tucker. 

TBH, a lot of those teams making those kicker picks aren't struggling with massive roster issues like we are.

If there was a Justin Tucker I would use a 5th.

Interior defensive line, safety, (coverage) linebacker, and running back seem really deep this year. Which sucks for the rest of the league, because those positions aren't universally important, but is great for us. It's exactly what we need.

It's deep at a few positions, but the problem is that all of these simulators have their rankings all over the place. Ive seen some top 60-70 guys on some rankings end up in the mid 100s on mock simulators, which makes it seem like a deep draft if thats all you are looking at.

A lot of talent in this draft. You just don’t have 5 first round OT, or QB like you do sometimes. High level outside  WR ain’t there at all besides TMac, but some skilled slot guys. The BIG pass rusher 4-3 ends aren’t there either. No Peppers or Garrett types. Flip side is your 4th round TE and LB are a hell of a lot better than Ian Thomas and Trevin Wallace tho. Plenty of big strong guys that can anchor on DL. Good 3-4 edge types that can rush. Big, solid RBs should be available the whole time. Rounds 2-4 look damn good to me compared to recent drafts.

Everyone is going to call me bias because of all the T-Mac stuff, but if by looking for a Tucker you mean someone with a monster leg, then take a look at Arizona's kicker Tyler Loop.

Not sure I've ever seen a college kicker with the leg that he has, think he hit a 50 yarder this year that went over the net.  I'm not saying he's a can't miss kicking prospect of course, but his leg really is next level crazy.

He set a school record this year hitting a 62 yarder too

For the draft guys I follow, they are giving 2013 vibes.....

I'm dying to know how the first 7 picks of this draft went that Hunter fell all the way to 8.

He's still not on my draft board for a variety of reasons, but there is no way in hell that he gets passed up by 7 teams

First one I’ve done in a while, and it happened again…

This time, I took a screenshot for you of the top 7….

      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.
