DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft Day 3

[jmt57]

Hey, who is that international kid they were talking about a few weeks ago? The freak athlete who had a great size speed, quickness measurement ratio, and who never played football before. Has he been assigned to us, or do we have to recruit him

Lorenz Metz from Germany
6'9, 340

There was a good story somewhere about his football journey; can't locate it now.

This is another article on him:

Lorenz Metz dominates his Lindner studies and defensive linemen

As a starting offensive lineman for the University of Cincinnati’s football team, Lorenz Metz uses his considerable strength to overwhelm defenders. But what many Bearcat fans may not realize is Metz’s intellect might surpass his physical prowess.

Munford-role, 6th linemen in Jumbo package.

6th? He could be the Jumbo package with that wingspan

 

[SteveKiner]

Thorson is like 35 yrs old.

He still is a good punter and Baringer had a rough year.

 

[stcjones]

Has the other good punter gone yet? I believe there were two that had Cannon legs… We really need help at punter

At this point take a chance on Nussmeier, give him plenty of time in pre season games, eventually some 4th quarters on blowouts and try to sell that for a higher pick in some years down the road.

DeVito is the back-up.

 

[Wozzy]

Isn’t Marcus Bryant similarly huge?

Close in size... the arms and wingspan aren't there though.

Bryant is almost three inches less, but he is still very good.

86" is just stupid wide, roughly an inch shy of Trent Brown.

I think I LOVE the Crownover pick the more I think about it.

Like to snag a DT, and maybe a punter.

Basketball background makes him appealing to me too. Gotta be able to move those puppies to hoop. So, would think that makes it easier for his footwork on gridiron.

Our young offensive lineman need to hit weight room. Campbell, Wilson, Lomu and Crownover.

 

[varjao]

DeVito is the back-up.

Not exactly a keeper if you draft another QB who was a 1st rounder prospect one year ago.

 

[Joey007]

Not going to lie, day 3 has been a real let down once those 4th rounders were lost.

Round 4-5 is always where day 3 is largely more interesting. And we spent our 5th on a relative unknown.

Is what it is. In a weak draft class, I rather they pony up for the players the wanted day 1-2.

I think Ken was referring to Uar Bernard.

Ur Bernard

6'4 306 11 inch hands 36in arms 6rc

My wish List (not in order)

LB Deontae Lawson
LB Aiden Fisher
TE Dallen Bentley
OC Delby Lemieux
DT Rene Konga
DT Dontay Corleone
S VJ Payne
RB Robert Henry Jr.
Edge Nadame Tucker
Edge Anthony Lucas
CB Thaddeus Dixon
CB Devon Marshall
WR Tyren Montgomery
QB Sawyer Robertson

I'd go DT or S next....

 

[Brady85-23]

Joshua Weru is a fresk too

Freak*

 

[Clonamery]

Kanak gone @One-If-By-Sea

 

[Mack Herron]

Triple dip

 

[TommyD4207]

"Go Navy, Beat Army" is certainly...a choice to say, after the 15 minute lead-up to the "Pat Tillman" pick.

They can grab them all as UFAs soon!

I think teams and players can both do well there as the players do have some say on where they go at that stage - unlike the draft

Sorry @One-If-By-Sea Kanak has gone to the Titans in the 7th.
