DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft: Day 2

[hornetfb85]

What we need:
A run on WRs (Boston, Branch, Brazzell, Bernard)
A run on CBs (McCoy, Hood, Terrell, Cisse, Ponds)
QB needy teams panic pick Beck or Nussmeier
Mike Washington Jr goes because he is the last midround RB available
Pregnon and Bisontis will be gone.

That would leave one of these for us:
DB: McNeil-Warren, Stukes, Scott
LB: Hill Jr, Allen, Rodriguez, Golday, Louis
Edge: Jacas, Young, Parker, Howell, Thomas, Moore, DDS
DT: McDonald, Hunter, Miller
TE: Stowers, Klare

I like the way you think.

I like the way you think.

Also maybe 4-5…

Picks that don’t involve the Pats would be nice.

 

[Raccoonsuit]

Thinking defense today. LB and edge would be ideal and it looks like there might be lots of dudes available.

Maybe lb 1st and then edge 2nd. Lots of good edge value that others have highlighted

 

[DC Patriots]

Golday solves 3 problems. He can play SAM, MLB, or move up on the DL to rush the passer.

Golday and Treydan Stukes are the 2 most versatile defensive players available.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if Golday is there at 63

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If we can leave day 2 with Dani Dennis Sutton and Oscar Delp I’d be pretty happy.

Golday solves 3 problems. He can play SAM, MLB, or move up on the DL to rush the passer.

Golday and Treydan Stukes are the 2 most versatile defensive players available.

I think Hill is being slept on.
He's not as tall as Golday, but he has length and can rush the passer.
Hill is going to be a very good player for someone, would not be opposed to that someone being us.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I think both lb and edge

I agree. They need an off the ball linebacker and an edge.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

Pats should trade up, the board fell so there are a lot of solid defensive lineman left but I expect there to be a run on them to start the second.
1. Kayden McDonald
2. Cashius Howell
3. TJ Parker
4. Zion Young
5. Christian Miller
6. R Mason Thomas
7. Gabe Jacas

To me they need to trade up high enough to get one of those guys. If they don't I'm hoping that Domonique Orange is still available. After adding an OT in the first I'd expect them to continue to improve in the trenches.
