Who is your way too early mid-round draft crush?

I'm biased because I went to William & Mary, but I think Charles Grant will be a steal in the mid rounds (3rd - 4th). Dude is insanely athletic for an offensive lineman and I think he would be a great swing offensive lineman that could be plugged in to any OL spot. If he was taller / heavier and played against FBS competition, I think he goes in the top 50

I think a team with a zone heavy scheme like the eagles will probably take him, but hoping we do.

No idea where they'll go, but Charles Grant and Gunnar Helm both tick boxes for me.

Helm paired with Sanders would make me feel much happier about our tight end situation.

Grant coming in and given time to develop (and replace BC if he doesn't return) would offer the depth needed on O-line.

Malachi Moore seems a good prospect at safety, but I don't know a huge amount about him.

At WR, I like both Ricky White III and Nick Nash. Ricky reminds me a little of Diontae. Has some shiftiness and suddenness. Nick Nash is a former QB turned WR. Very good at contested catches. reminds me a little of Tee Higgins.

At DT, I like Patrick Jenkins. Maybe a late late or UDFA guy that plays 3-4 End.

I’m praying we use those picks on the less valuable defensive roles that fit a fast, two-high, odd-front scheme. We still haven’t really committed to building what Evero wants, and we need to fill in the gaps.
 

Coverage linebackers and safeties who can tackle: 

Jay Higgins - LB - Iowa

Jay Bassa - LB - Oregon

Malachi Moore - S - Bama

Kevin Winston Jr. - S - Penn State

 

True nose tackles:

Jamaree Caldwell - NT - Oregon

Jordan Phillips - NT - Maryland

Jamaree Caldwell

 

O2 as more of a Luvu comp and Caldwell as the nose tackle we have yet to sign for the past 7ish years

Caldwell is one of mine--I love the depth at IDL positions this year.  In my mocks, I tend to draft 3 because I can't believe someone we could use is sitting there in round 5, for example.

I also like Jordan Phillips from Maryland. 

I liked TCU WR Jack Bech before the Sr Bowl--love him now.

Skattelbo, RB Ariz St.  Dawg eating Dawg

Here is my 7th round / UDFA sleeper:  Jackson Hawes, TE Ga Tech.  Watched him during Sr Bowl practice and he caught my eye a time or two.  Can pass block, lead block, pull, and catch the ball.  With no Tremble or the future Hall of Famer Ian Thomas on the roster, we need a player who is versatile and willing to block.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
