While plenty of you have verbally abused one another about what you think is best for the team, have you ever considered a different outcome?

What are your hopes for this draft, if there are any? Are you hoping that a specific player is drafted (ie: Cam Newton), a particular position is drafted (ie: TE), or that somebody isn't drafted (ie: trade down)? What do you think will really happen? Do you think the team will make the decisions you've hoped for, or do you think they'll go in a completely different direction?

Are any of you so confident about what you think will happen, that you're willing to make a friendly wager? I could see hilarity ensuing :willy_nilly:

I hope we set a foundation that eventually leads to a Super Bowl. No matter who we pick. I have my opinions on who that should be. But at the end of the day, I just hope that this draft is the beginning of a brighter tomorrow.

Just think we have to address the most important position, at some point. Tom Bradys just don't grow on trees in late rounds...

What we have done really is not working, rule changes, the NFL wanting scoring for excitement...leads to offense. The longer a team waits, the longer it takes to get that franchise QB, up and running. I preferred Luck, AJ my second choice, then Cam.

QB because we NEED it, AJ because the guy just maybe special.

RR is a defense guy, think he has confidence in himself, to take what he has and keep them in the top 10. The offense needs some serious work at skill positions. Think he sees the overall picture, not the "right now" mentality.

Im starting to like AJ ahead of Dareus now and Peterson is 4th

I hope we draft Newton because it will sell tickets and that's all Richardson cares about.

LOL, wow, what a simple view. The guy has the most potential, though not the "safest pick". Course, the people that don't pay the bills always have a high and mighty view. They are doing their due diligence on him, multiple interviews, etc. This is the most important position and a big need...

      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.
