    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    I would have no problems with Zuhn in the 5th. Some guys can't make the switch, some guys can (Mankins), but a 5th is a good spot to take that risk.

    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    Agreed, taking 2 IOL is not out of the realm of possibility. It's not sexy, but there is logic behind it. Bottom line is we have a lot of needs, LB, TE, WR (without an AJ trade), OT, Edge, DT may not be a need a huge need today but could definitely be upgraded and who knows what our plans are...

    2026 Draft: RT

    So many things in play that we might not consider that the front office most certainly does. For example, perhaps the AJ trade is all but done. If that was the case, Rutledge to replace Owenu and to offset some of the cap hit of AJ is most definitely a possibility, especially if the front...

    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    I would be surprised if we took 2 IOL unless we plan to trade/cut Owenu. That said you did take Zuhn late, and there is nothing wrong with that. Wallace is probably gone, so that free's up one spot.

    2026 Draft: RT

    Good players will rise and slip as we all know. I think the best positional value for us that could slip is DT and LB. Now I say slip for LB because some mocks have Rodriguez steadily rising and now going in the first rd. Perhaps Hill or Allen are there. Some folks don't think that's a slip...

    You and me might be the only two people that feel that way. I think he has bust written all over him.

    I don't like Sadiq, got a bad feeling about him but you might as well put him there in place of Roush!

    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    I just ran a mock there. Styles was again available at 31 which is just ridiculous. He won't get out of the top 10, and very likely won't get past the top 5. They had Simpson going 4 Parker and Howell both in the top 15. They had Joesph going in the top 20! That site is way off right now on...

    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    I've used that site (NFLDRAFTBUZZ...I think). I don't remember it being that inaccurate, but as soon as as I saw Styles at 31 I stopped reading.

    2026 Draft: RT

    I think trading back would be the best outcome in that event. Lots of good players similarly grouped in the 33-50 range.
  12. DoubleDeluxe

    2026 Draft: RT

    Seen so many mocks recently where all those guys are gone by 31. I know your preference, but say all are gone, what position do like? Safety if options 2 and 3 are there? LB if Rodriguez is there? Edge...? WR if Bell or maybe even someone like Tyson slips...? I believe you like Banks if he's...
  13. DoubleDeluxe

    2026 Draft: RT

    I would much rather an Edge or even LB in rd 1 over OT, so Burke is of particular interest to me. I have seen many mocks recently where all rd 1 OTs, including Iheanachor are gone by 31, so our decision may be made for us before we hit the podium.
  14. DoubleDeluxe

    2026 Draft: RT

    So you don't think he can be a long time starter after a year of seasoning? I do, and that's definitely worth a 3rd rd pick.

    Patriots Player Departure Marte Mapu Released [UPDATE: Traded to HOU - Mapu+7th for 6th]

    I am not a BB apologist, many of his draft picks sucked....no nice way to put it, but you're really classifying Washington as a stud TE? He certainly is not that.
  16. DoubleDeluxe

    2026 Mock Draft Thread

    Depends. One could argue Diggs was a great influence on the WR room last year. If AJ has his head on straight, he could provide the same, but with more on-field production. This is where we gotta trust Vrabs, he knows the player and won't risk what he's building here. I am fine with whatever we...

    2026 Draft: RT

    Way too early to consider moving Campbell. He had ups and downs, but showed enough prior to injury. Maybe in the future if he struggles, but far too early to consider that imo. But like every position, the best players should play and we should field our best 5, camp will tell us who those 5 are.

    2026 Draft: EDGE

    I thought we had come to the conclusion that an AJ trade would be post June 1. Picks traded would be 2027.
  19. DoubleDeluxe

    2026 Draft: EDGE

    I would definitely take that. If somehow Bell or Hurst get to 95 (doubtful, but have seen some mocks where it happens) I would go WR. Now if we are in fact trading for AJ, then my sentiment would be overcome by events, so TE at 95 would be fine.
