Big Draft Risers

We all know this happens every pre-draft build up and once the teams start getting a closer look at these guys individually, players will rise on draft lists.

By looking at the draft rankings right now, you really aren't getting an accurate portrayal of what may end up happening or the order of being taken by position.

So with this in mind...name some guys maybe projected anywhere from pick 10 to the third that could legitimately rise once the combine and workouts get rolling.

A few guys that seem to be anywhere from 10-32 on some drafts right now:

Dontari Poe (Memphis-DT), Courtney Upshaw (OLB Bama), Mark Barron (S Bama), Fletcher Cox (DT-DE Miss State), Cordy Glenn (OT/OG, UGA)

2nd Rd Potential:

Trumaine Johnson (CB Montana), Brandon Mosley (OT, Auburn), Ryan Steed (CB Furman)

and a guy who I think would be a great later round backup and special teams stud: Miles Burris (OLB SD State)

*Just to note, I think Upshaw, Poe, Cox, Steed, and Trumaine in particular will be very very interesting prospects to watch and see if they can rise over the next few months.

Your turn...go!

Personally I want Poe in a panthers uniform.

He's becoming one of my more favored guys. Overall, I really do think Reiff, Poe, and Upshaw have a great chance of being drafted by us.

I would think a draft with one of those three in the first + one of the CBs (Minnifield, Gilmore, Hosley, or Trumaine, etc) in the second would be very solid.

Cordy Glenn has helped himself big time this week at the Senior Bowl. He's done well against Coples, Upshaw and Ingram so far.

Definitely. The nice thing about him is that if Otah goes down, he could be a very valuable replacement...but if Otah magically goes through a season uninjured, he can fill voids at guard if someone goes down or we need some fixin

Cordy Glenn is universally being looked at as OG. According to Scott Wright at the senior bowl.. he gets to listen in on all the scouts and GMs.

unfortunately guys like chris rainey and joe adams (both of whom i want later in the draft) are impressing people like crazy out there.

i was hoping that they would be able to slip to the 5th and 6th round, but it ain't going to happen.

Yea, we would need to take one in the 4th round unfortunately.

I know he's Mountaineer but the Quick receiver from Boone is making noise. I think he has already interviewed with the Falcons.

He will stride up the board based on his size and potential alone. But the guy is fast to boot.

Everything I've read said he looked like shite...?

I guarantee that Melvin Ingram is going to climb the draft boards after the Senior Bowl, Combine, and Pro Day. He is one of the most athletic freaks I have ever witnessed. Some of his feats as a 6'2" 275 lb OLB/DL:

-Can throw a football 60+ yards

-Can do a standing backflip

-Can run a fake punt 68 yards for a TD

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      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.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
