In case Will does end up having to move inside here is a video discussion on the Top 10 OT

 

[Scotty]

Agreed, never too early thanks to all for the info in the above thread I can start looking at some vids now.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Can we just bask in this one a little bit longer. Maybe revisit this when, you know, school starts?

I’m with Manx, never too early to start getting information.

Interesting that Proctor isn’t on either list.

Nate Tice has a top 25

NFL Draft: Top 25 prospects for 2026, headlined by 4 QBs, several Clemson defenders and Ohio State's 'Monster Back'

The 2025 NFL Draft is *so* last week's news. Here are the way-too-early top 25 prospects for next year.

I don’t know about the depth but this is going to be a really strong first round.

Pats will need someone to step up for Diggs before he leaves. Williams will hopefully be a good WR but at 5'10 they could use some size.

Denzel Boston WR - Washington - Really looks the part already. Just needs some polish. Give him 1 year and he will shoot up boards. 6'3.5 and has tremendous bend and quickness for that size. So much so he even returns kickoffs and punts on occasion. He comes out of routes crisply and plays with power. Son of David Boston. An often forgotten about name but he was on his way to be one of the big names in the league before his injury. Year 3 he was coming into his own and get near 1600 yards and AP honors. Then he got injured halfway through next season. While he saw flashes he was gimpy on and off much of the rest of his career and never looked the same. I think come next year he is a first round guy. At worst mid second round. Just already looks the part and still has room to grow. Also, he's named Boston, how is that not a Patriot?

The reason his father became so injury prone was that he started training as a body builder. He was completely ripped, but became stiff as a board and ruined his career. I worked at a gym in the early 2,000’s with a trainer who was training high school and college athletes, and he did the same thing, trained them all like body builders and it became a big problem, and he was ultimately booted from training at that gym.

Nope. Pass. I’m in 4th of July summer mode.

I’m in summer mode as well, but I have time during my days to spend a few minutes here, and I love draft talk.

FYI for those looking at OTs next year. I don’t want that endless discussion about arm length again.

 

[borisman]

I'd like to add Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt, to a player to watch.
It's likely we draft a TE in 2026 and Stowers has elite athleticism. He'll run in the 4.5 range (he's been clocked at 21mph), so he'll be a threat right away. He's a QB turned TE so he's new to the position but it looks like he's already taken a liking to the switch.
While there are no TE's in the top 10-20 picks, there are a few others to keep an eye on. The position has depth but not 1st round talent.

I think we can definitely find Hooper's replacement in the Draft.

Good job. I read somewhere he’s now about 10 lbs heavier than his listed weight of 235. That should be a fun offense this year.

Doubt it.

Doubt it.

I don't know anything when I see pick #9 but it is August and it is projection more than prediction.

 

[mayoclinic]

Of course.

Mostly useful to get a sense of some of the players being listed.
