2026 Annual Draft Contest

[mayoclinic]

The draft starts in 12 days. Time to start making picks.

Very simple rules, the Pats gave 11 picks, you get 11 choices of players you think the Patriots will draft. Whoever gets the most correct you win bragging rights for the year! In case of a tie, whoever posts 1st gets the nod. You can change as many times as you want up to 4/23, only your most recent listing will be judged.

Since I can’t get any picks right on my own (except Navy long snappers when Belichick was around), I’m seeing if ChatGPT can do a better job than me.

T. J. Parker — EDGE — Clemson
De’Zhaun Stribling — WR — Ole Miss
Emmanuel Pregnon — G — Oregon
Tim Keenan III — DT — Alabama
Bryce Boettcher — LB — Oregon
Eli Stowers — TE — Vanderbilt
Logan Brown — OT — Kansas
Myles Purchase — CB — Iowa State
Javon Solomon — EDGE — Troy
Jay Higgins — LB — Iowa
Xavier Restrepo — WR — Miami

It would be funny if you won despite having five players not even in this draft.

Maybe I should update my entry to add Yhonzae Pierre, Jelani McDonald, Kamara Johnson, Austin Siereveld, and Niki Prongos.

Max Ihaeanachor, Arizona St. OT
Travis Burke, Memphis OT
Logan Taylor, BC IOL
