2026 Pre-Draft Meetings

[mayoclinic]

I have Raridon near the top of my Day 3 guys. Underrated, flying under the radar, and want to keep it that way.

As much as I love Delp, I can't see the Pats using a 2nd on him. Not when LB, Edge, and OT are bigger concerns. And the depth at TE is just ridiculous.

 

[mayoclinic]

I think 95 is the highest I would go for Delp, personally.

Pretty clear from the list that we are selecting at least 1 OL and EDGE from this class before day 3.

I'd say EDGE and safety are the most likely based upon that list.

MY BOY! I will die on this hill. My first or second binkie going into this year. Still super high on my list as an undervalued player.

BTW... i noticed they looked at a Navy guy. How could they do that and not look at Eli Heidenreich. Who is IMO the most underrated player in this entire draft class by a mile. I was talking about him when he was an UDFA and he just keeps rising. He may slide to the 5th 6th or even 7th... frankly. I look at him and I see top 80 value. And i stand by that.

Yeah, he's been on my list of favourites players in this class for a couple of months. Not a big fan of Delp however.

"Linebacker Jimmy Rolder posted impressive agility numbers with a 7.09-second three-cone and 4.21-second short shuttle times that likely caught the attention of the Bengals and Patriots, with whom he met on Thursday."

Missouri WR Kevin Coleman Jr

"Receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. improved his combine 40 time by almost one-tenth and clocked as fast as 4.38 seconds on several stopwatches during the workout. He stood on the rest of his numbers from Indianapolis, but he killed it during position drills, showcasing sharp, crisp routes and catching everything thrown his way. Coleman also fielded punts.

New England Patriots Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf was effusive in his praise for Coleman, signaling strong interest from the team."

No mention of Keagen Trost but interesting that Eliot Wolf was there.

Offensive line coaches from the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tennessee Titans were on hand for a pair of Memphis blockers.

Tackle/guard Chris Adams, who was so banged up last season that many wondered why he was playing, soldiered through testing and drills despite still being less than 100 percent recovered from ankle and quad injuries. Adams met with all the offensive line coaches on hand and is getting interest from the New Orleans Saints at guard.

Travis Burke, who missed games late last season with an ankle injury, sat on his combine marks and looked good in position drills. He met with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, and New Orleans Saints at pro day, has already completed an official 30-visit with the Atlanta Falcons, and has another one scheduled with the Baltimore Ravens.

You are consistent, I can't deny that.
Serious question for you.
Give me the top 5 (in order) WRs you want us to draft that are in realistic range.
So don't include Tate, Tyson, Lemon.

 

[mayoclinic]

Great idea, DD.

My top 5:

1. Chris Bell - if he lasts to 63
2. Ted Hurst - day 2
3. DeZhaun Stribling - 3rd round or later
4. Jeff Caldwell - Day 3
5. Open

I might be talked into Bryce Lance, Chris Brazzell, Malachi Fields or Ja'Kobi Lane at 5, or into Josh Cameron, Reggie Virgil, or J. Michael Sturdivant.

I also want a day 3 speedy slot, but not including them on this list.

I’d 100% take Bell at 63 if Stukes and Jacob Rodriguez are gone and we got an edge rusher in the first round

My list would be very similar.
Might have Lance ahead of Caldwell, maybe even ahead of Stribling.
Agreed on the slot, I would want 2nd WR, slot guy late.

Some really good late day 3 slot options:

- Eli Heidenreich- 7.5 3C
- Cyrus Allen - broke ankles at the Senior Bowl, a TD machine
- Noah Short
- Kaden Wetjen

Not to mention guys who will likely go earlier: Zachariah Branch. Brenen Thompson, Deion Burks and Kendrick Law.

If we go EDGE with our first pick, then I target Travis Burke at 95. My preference with our 2nd pick:

- DT Caleb Banks
- S Treydan Stukes
- WR Chris Bell
- LB Jake Golday
- LB Jacob Rodriguez
- RB Mike Washington
- WR Ted Hurst

Those guys are clustered very tightly together after Banks. I could flip the order and not be upset.

I like Allen ahead of Law.
Seems like a much better route runner to me.
Law looks like a gadget guy. Tough and physical for his size, but Allen looks so much smoother/better routes than Law
