DRAFT Draft Rumours 2026

I don't trust or care for Bedard, but I have been saying the same thing.
We have our pass blocking TE, we need a receiving TE who can stress the defense.
I would prefer we wait till the 4th or later, as there are many good pass catching TEs that will be available in those rds.
Can we please, for the first time in a long time draft a difference making LB!
Yeah with a TE that can only receive, might as well call him a WR.

TE, Big Slot....
I don't care what we call him, production is production.
Kelce was nothing more than a big slot the entirety of his career, and he will be a first HOF as a TE.
I think we have our blocker, let's get a guy who can stress the defense and change coverage.

Sure.
 
For what it's worth...

Chad Graff writes today that while there's always the possibility that someone they don't expect will be there, the Patriots are largely focused on edge rusher at #31. He specifically mentions significant interest in Malachi Lawrence, TJ Parker, and Cashius Howell.

He also says that the team is in search of a run-stopping DT to replace Khyiris Tonga, which means that Kayden McDonald will receive some consideration if he's there.

He lists TE, OT, and DT as the positions the team is likely to focus on come Day Two.

LB is a likely focus for one of their 4th round picks, and they'd like to add a RB "around the 5th round"

QB and Safety are listed as positions they'd like to address near the end of the draft.
Doesn't look like Chad Graff has/ had inside info..
 
Eliot Wolf says the player you can get at 25 is about the same as the one you can get at 50.


Ok Wolfe the one hit Draft wonder: I'm going to take what you say as gospel...NOT. The only reason you have a job is because of Drake Maye. A Blind Monkey could have made that obvious selection.
 

Yeah. I don't believe that at all. Concepcion is a body catcher who drops far too many. That's not the sort of player you bring in. I have yet to find an example of a Body Catcher coming into the NFL and learning how to be a "Hands" catcher.

Was almost Invasion of the Body Catchers.
 
A nice perspective on how volatile the back end of the 2026 1st round was.


5 consecutive trades between 26 and 31:

Texas traded up from 28 to 26 with Buffalo.
Miami traded up from 30 to 27 with SF.
NE traded up from 31 to 28 with Buffalo.
The Jets traded up from 33 to 30 with SF.
Tennessee traded up from 35 to 31 with Buffalo.

I'm guessing Keylan Rutledge was the 'major' pick the Seahawks thought was over drafted.

Also:
"The music selections have gone back to the 80s, with Genesis' "Invisible Touch" now playing, a song some have described as the group's undisputed masterpiece."

No. just no!
