2026 Draft: WR

[mayoclinic]

I've been waiting for a 3C like that.

 

[mayoclinic]

Hard to do if you want an additional power back too.

QB(2) Maye, Dobbs/DeVito
RB(4) Henderson, Rham, Larison, rookie
WR(6) Pierce, Boutte, Williams, Hollins, Heidenreich, Chism. Trade Pop Davis.
TE/FB(3): Henry, rookie, Lampe
OL(9)

A 3rd QB could be an option at final cutdown

I missed this quote from the link to Heidenreich's pro day I posted in the pro day thread.

"He did only receiver drills.......and was not asked to participate in any running back drills. Heidenreich made several terrific catches, and teams are now viewing him as a Julian Edelman-type receiver.

 

[manxman2601]

OK then. I tried the Eli Heidenreich v Lan Larison comp. How about...

Who would you rather?

Eli Heidenreich v Kaden Wetjen?

 

[mayoclinic]

Heidenreich.

The interview was off, but there is an element of Tet McMillan doesn't watch film to this.

A Tet at 4 is a heck of lot different than getting a Tet at 31 lol

It will be really interesting to see what happens next week, can’t imagine we don’t add a WR via FA/trade. Still want a guy in the draft, but I imagine the priority will go from “urgent” today, to something less.

Picky.

WR(6) Pierce, Boutte, Williams, Hollins, Heidenreich, Chism. Trade Pop Davis.
TE/FB(3): Henry, rookie, Lampe
OL(9)

Just to point out that the Pats carried 4 TE/FB for 7 weeks and carried 10 OL for about the same timeframe.
Don't sleep on Terrell Jennings being the 4th RB..

Who do you have in mind as a trade partner for Douglas?

mayo who's the Third Reich??

 

[manxman2601]

Mack Hollins future replacement?

 

[mayoclinic]

If the Pats sign/trade for an alpha X WR, I think there's a real chance they draft a Hollins successor day 3. Jeff Caldwell, Reggie Virgil, Cameron, CJ Daniels, etc.

What criteria are you using?
For example, would you disqualify Lance because you think he will go day 2 or because he’s not big enough?
Lance is bigger than Daniels as an example, so assume it’s based on projection of rd?

 

[mayoclinic]

I didn't disqualify Lance.

My main cutoff is day 3. I would not spend a day 1 or 2 pick on WR if we sogn/trade for an alpha X.

Pre-combine profile on Eli Heidenreich, looking at him mainly as a 3rd down RB:

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Navy RB Eli Heidenreich

From now until the 2026 NFL Draft, we will scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free...

Did Heidenreich do any Kick returning in College?

Did Heidenreich do any Kick returning in College?

Not really. 2 returns this year, 10 last year.

 

[DaBruinz]

Not really. 2 returns this year, 10 last year.

Well, Edelman didn't return kicks or punts at Kent, so there is still a chance..

BTW, Heidenreich is set to join the Marines. It will be interesting to see if he gets drafted and gets a waiver. CyberSecurity is a big thing right now with the military.

 

[PatsFan2]

Mack Hollins future replacement?

Cameron plays Big he also have tree trunk for legs very thick player. Cameron can also move very well for his size: Good catch radius too.

 

[manxman2601]

Watch this video!

The average forty time of the best outside deep threat receivers in the NFL is 4.49. Speed isn't everything.

 

[mayoclinic]

I expect Tate to run a 4.45, not that it matters. Reports are a lot of teams gand-timed him at that in Indy.
