Top Ten Draft Buzz Builds For Wr Floyd

Most observers expected Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd to be drafted in the late teens to early 20s when the college season ended. But the latest pre-draft buzz on Floyd indicates he may go as early as the top ten.

And a host of teams picking early want one-on-one time with Floyd before the draft.

Appearing on Sirius NFL Radio with Alex Marvez and Gil Brandt on Sunday, Floyd revealed that he’s already visited the Browns and Panthers. He worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles this past week, and will visit the Titans, Rams, Bengals, and Jets during the coming week. The Cardinals, Dolphins, 49ers, and Vikings will host Floyd the following week.

That’s eleven teams, nine of which draft in the top-17 picks. Five pick in the top ten.

During one of his marvelously informative pre-draft Twitter rants recently, NFL Films producer Greg Cosell compared Floyd to Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe. After watching Notre Dame and Oklahoma State game tape, Cosell also hinted that he prefers Floyd over Justin Blackmon.

Are we to believe Hurney and co are really this openminded about the draft?

I agree on his first round prowess but this team needs a little prudence and more than slight attention to the "other" side of the ball.

I agree and i'm sure quite a few of the top 10 on the big board are defensive players. But if an offensive player they love is available, you take him.

I've official added Floyd to the list of Offensive Players I wouldn't mind us taking with the #9 pick (Kalil, Blackmon, and Floyd). Because of Floyds speed and size, I think the bust factor is extremely low. I still think there's a big chance Claiborne drops to us though.

The latter part interests me.... Why do you think Claiborne would fall to us? I can't see it happening, but am curious as to how you see it.

Offensive Players will be coming off the board early and often. I use to think Tampa was the key to us getting Claiborne, but now I think it's the Rams.

We can all agree on the first 3 picks. Well after that I have Cleveland taking Blackmon, Tampa taking Richardson, Rams taking the lineman out of Iowa or trading down, Jags taking Ingram or Coples, Miami taking Tannehill, and bam there you have it.

Anything is likely when it comes to the Draft.

Last year around this time if I would've told you that PP7 would drop to # 5 you would've thought I was crazy as hell. Not only was he slated as the best defensive player in the draft, but most had him as the best overall player in the draft.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
