2026 Draft: WR

Agree with "Drake Maye will make them better".

An Omar Cooper or Zachariah Branch (just outside my top 50) or Chris Bell (because of ACL) would all be incredible additions. We've seen how electric Henderson and Williams can be.

I will personally always prioritize the OL and defense, but that doesn't mean I can't get excited about some of these guys.
 


Is this guy being slept on or am I missing something?

He might be. I know the name but haven't seen much commentary on him. 6-1, 224lbs (!), 69 catches for 872 yards, only 1 drop. Fairly low YAC and very low Y/RR of 1.70 which may explain his low draft stock. Does he have an issue with speed perhaps? Estimated 4.5 apparently so not too bad. I don't think coming from Baylor and their scheme is necessarily an endorsement for the NFL but he is going to the Senior Bowl so the NFL must think something of him.
 
I also found this, which is why he came to my attention. “Cameron put together an All-America campaign as a return man in 2024, returning 14 punts for 290 yards, an average of 20.7 yards per return.”
He’s also a cool story as a walk on.

Ja'Kobi Lane I think his hands are Elite also needs to brush up his hand fighting some. That could lead to a lot of OPI at then next level. That said he's RR is very good and he's a Beast on the outside: no slouch in the Slot either well rounded player.

Quite slow though.

He looks slow to me though built like a RB Really thick.
 
While I'm not super high on Chris Bell, any idea for where he will be drafted given the injury status? Clearly he won't be doing any pre draft stuff and is 99% sure to start the year on the PUP at minimum which would kind of make his entire rookie year a bit of a mess. I don't think he will red shirt the entire year though.

My guess is a one round fall which, considering he was a borderline first rounder would mean end of the 2nd, maybe into round 3.

Pass prefer others.
 
@manxman2601 I thought Christian Watson would be a FA in 2026. But it seems like Green Bay gave him a one year extension: to help him deal with that injury. He's been kind of a mash unit with those knee injuries: but when he's healthy he's pretty good.
 
Scouts what the story on that guy below Nic Anderson 6'3 220??
 
@PatsFan2 does not care about speed or height. He loves Chism and hates Hollins.
I have changed my tune on climb the ladder Barefoot Mack Hollins.
