Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Redskins (if they trade into R1), and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.

Beckham Jr. and Cooks I would strongly consider. Would depend on how the rest of the board fell. I would go Beckham Jr before Cooks. He plays big despite only being 6'. High points the ball great. Has more than enough speed to be a deep threat, and gives you production as a returner as well. Not to mention his hands can engulf footballs and his catch radius is insane for a guy who's not 6'3 +.

 

Not a fan of Robinson in rd 1. He doesn't stand out enough in any area of his game to be a building block for an offense imo.

I've really warmed up to OBJ recently.  Think he'd be a great addition.  

 

His best plays are coming up or deep for those long balls and he can really outplay CBs on the physical side of things.  Also, he doesn't seem to give up if a play is extended.  Those type of strengths fit well with Cam.

My favorite is Robinson of those 3.

 

I really want to like Robinson and I'm likely missing something because scouts and a lot of people like him...but nothing jumps out to me.  He body catches a ton and kinda reminds me of Carlton Mitchell from a few years back.  

 

I've seen some nice highlights however so am not completely dissing him.

i would have to go with Odell all the way. they guy had over 1000 yards WR, and over 2000 all purpose yards. Cordarrelle Patterson didnt have that many yards last year, and he went 28 to the vikings. he had a huge impact for them as well, returning kicks, running the ball, and playing WR. Odell plays larger then his 6'0 height, has huge hands to catch away from his body, vertical speed and YAC ability.

 

another name not being mentioned is Davante Adams from Fresno St who could have a late 1st round grade.

Of those? Probably Robinson, though OBJ is growing on me. I also really like Abbrederis and Moncrief if those other guys are gone.

I don't know if I'd take all of them at 28, but there's about a dozen really good prospects in the first two rounds.

I doubt five go before 28, and I'm sure a few of those dozen or so will still be there at 60.

      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.
