2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

All I really know is I am about out on Wallace, he can stay as a backup. 
 

I miss the days of AJ Klein being being able to go elsewhere and start, but was a backup here.

Wallace doesn’t do anything. His mic’ed up, the MF was never near the ball. He’s really bad.

Yeah, I was hoping to see significant improvement in Wallace this year. I'm pretty much always willing to give rookies a pass - especially a mid-rounder forced into a significant role put of the gate. Just show me some flashes and reason to hope there's something to build on. But when you still look like a week one rookie at the end of year two... ehhhhh... makes me wonder if there's anything there to continue to invest in. Going into year two in looking for more than flashes, I'm wanting to see some consistency and reliability and definitely by the end of year two. I just never saw it. He still looked like a rookie throughout.

Wouldn’t mind three….

It seems weird to do that but one of my favorite drafts was Star and Short. 
Morgan double dipped in FA with the guards. 
Attack that poo Dan.  
 

Realistically, a quality vet FA that is totally up to speed, like Lloyd, and a young sidekick is probably a better plan but I wouldn’t complain if we drafted two. 

I loved Star and Short probably just as much as Luke and TD. I would not mind if Morgan went full hog Molly this draft.

The Jets traded JJII to the Titans for Sweat.

I could see them double-dipping now with 3-4 type EDGE/backers at 2 and 16. Could we see a Reese/Styles reunion in NY? That would be an immense shift for that D with Sweat dominating the middle of the DL and those two former teammates wreaking havoc in an odd front.

I wouldn't go that far simply because I think we need to sign a decent vet too. Sign a decent vet and draft three and you're standing a pretty good chance of cutting a draft pick.

If edge is still a lb, then yeah 3 is about right.

I’m on the sign Matt Milano and draft Anthony Hill Jr train. Our identity is good LB play. Make it happen.

Lots of great, athletic LBs that could easily be taken at the bottom of round one or early to mid round 2.

Anthony Hill Jr., Jake Golday, and Jacob Rodriguez all made some money today.

I was hoping Golday might fall to the 3rd for us with an average combine, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen now.

Yeah I like Golday. I think his best fit, unfortunately for us, is as a SAM in a 4-3. Kind of like a Chad Greenway.

I was hoping one of he or Hill would be available at 51. I'm honestly not sure either will be.
