DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft: Day 2

Like the pick but damn…sure are giving away a lot of picks
Down to one 3rd, one 5th, three 6ths, and a 7th.

I’m guessing they’ll use a 6th to move up into the 4th, skip the 5th round, and then use their remaining two 6ths and 7th.
 
From The Beast

With his rocked-up, athletic build, Jacas is a quick and violent pass rusher who doesn’t need a long runway. He credits his wrestling background for his handwork and maneuvering skills (also worked closely with pass-rush specialist Joe Kim, whom Illinois hired from the New England Patriots in 2025). As a run defender, he uses his heavy hands to strike blockers but gets tangled versus length and must improve his awareness against seal down blocks.

Jacas won’t consistently outrace NFL tackles, but his powerful, proficient technique and aggressive play demeanor should translate well to the next level. He projects as a rotational edge defender.
Thats a very interesting detail. I assume there may still be some personal ties between the Patriots and Kim.
 
If they did, and Campbell won the job, would that convince you, or would you still harbor doubts?

Or asked with different words, what will it take to convince you? Will you ever be convinced?
I'll be convinced by his performance on the field.
 
The pats must have a short board this year with these trades

They really don't need to bring in many rookie picks. They kept their entire draft class from last year, plus undrafted rookies, like Larison, Ponder etc...
 
Jimbo Covert looks great as a 66 year old former OL
 
I don't mind giving away picks, Patriots got into a habit of being obsessed with "more darts at the dartboard" for a number of years and we went from getting 3 solid contributors every year to a draft full of guys who couldn't play dead in a western.
 
Logan Jones to the Bears?

They just traded for Bradbury.
