I'll have to check him out.

Like Phillip Dunnam S, UCF.

Formerly of Indiana. Had three interceptions all year that all came in one game against Houston. Judging by those highlights, looks to have good instincts and looks smooth in coverage. He's built like a CB and his lack of size concerns me. Had a very good coverage grade this year (85) and not a very good run defence grade (60). 12 missed tackles which is so-so.

Good shout as a UDFA, maybe late day 3. I enjoyed his tape.

 

[manxman2601]

So Tyson, Tate, Lemon, Concepcion, Boston, Bell, Cooper, Sarratt, Lane, Bernard, Brazzell?

Maybe One or two of Skyler Bell, Hurst, Branch might work in there.

Brennan Thompson?

Brennan Thompson?

Very possible. He'll certainly get more buzz after the combine.

4 second-round steals Colts should kick the tires on taking in 2026 NFL draft

The Indianapolis Colts need to nail the 2026 draft even without a first-round pick. Here are four great potential second-round options.

Yes to Golday and Hunter, both top-50 talents.

 

[manxman2601]

Daniel Jeremiah's first top 50 is apparently out on Monday. A big moment in the draft calendar.

 

[mayoclinic]

He had Keion White at #8 in 2023.

Are we judging big boards on getting one pick wrong 3 years ago now? I'm not saying his first big board is going to be a perfect indication of where things end up but DJ is a) influential and b) in the know. It's the moment the draft goes from speculative to more substantial.

 

[mayoclinic]

DJ is the best since Mayock. It was not intended as a criticism.

I was very high on Keion White. Never saw that one deteriorating so badly.

Just a reminder that it's still very hard to predict success.

I think White is a warning about Keldric Faulk. Traits over production.

An interesting read with some familiar names:

I mean, who would possibly suggest Puka Nacua as a Josh Cameron comp?

I'd happily draft everyone on that list although Jacas and Durant would be towards the lower end of a wishlist.

Washington, Payne, Rodriguez and Payne are high on a wish list though.

 

[manxman2601]

I just want to put this into context for those who didn't see my original post. I didn't make a direct comp of Cameron to Nacua. That would be far too ambitious. What I actually said was:

I'm increasingly of the opinion that Josh Cameron has the best chance of the day 3 WRs to be a Nacua like success story.

And it was said in the context of how hard it is to evaluate WRs as Nacua's draft status testifies to.

 

[mayoclinic]

You nailed it. Credit where credit due.
