2026 Draft: WR

[manxman2601]

 

[PatsFan2]

So when do we Draft Him??

 

[PatsFan2]

Sign me up I'm greedy I want the Two Cincinnati guys.

 

[Steve102]

Yeah I remember a young Randy Moss didn't win anyone over with a black cloud over him. How did his NFL Career turnout??

Randy could speak IIRC.

 

[manxman2601]

So when do we Draft Him??

Day 3 at the earliest. I wouldn't before round 5.

 

[mayoclinic]

4th round or later if he is still available.

Right now I'd like to see day 3:

- Jeff Caldwell
- Jalen Farmer or Micah Morris
- VJ Payne
- Sam Roush or Oscar Delp

Could trade 2 6ths to move up, so 2 4ths and 2 5ths getting those players would work for me.

I think that Elite Combine bumped him up a bit sorry manx. I hope Vrabel Reach earlier like late Third or Fourth Round.

Day 2 too rich for me. Need to revisit tape, though.

I would not trade away 2 6ths. We still need bodies, the talent level is not good enough. Need more competition. I might even trade down 12 spots or so from the 1st round to pick up another 3rd.

Two 2nds
Two 3rds
Two 4ths

Isaac TeSlaa and Pat Bryant both went in the Third last year. I hope we take a swing in the Third on Potential.

Trade back for another 3rd is good.

I'm not sure we have room for 11 rookies, and this draft looks about 5 rounds deep to me. I'm not advocating it, but I suspect good players will fall, so a trade-up day 3 is definitely something to consider.

Quick question where do you think Ted Hurst goes Round wise??

3rd. Possibly 2nd.

They might rightly trade into 2027 too. I get impatient since Maye's rookie contract is running out, but they have to think about the long-term best interests. Having 2 4th rounders this year is nice because of the trade last year.

 

[PatsFan2]

3rd. Possibly 2nd.

Obviously with Hurst's basketball background: catch Radius will be a plus. IF he's on the Board or close to our selections in Round Two or Three: we make a move by any means necessary. Maye needs that guy: Hurst moves like a Young Terrell Owens.

I like him a lot. My only hesitation is that having played for Georgia State, he doesn't have a lot of experience against NFL quality CBs. He might struggle initially a la Kyle Williams.

Yup, most likely there will be an adjustment period.

We have to live with that risk; it's worth the potential reward. Teams just don't let Young WR's who develop walk...we have seen this too many times in FA. I am going on Record and I say I want Ted Hurst he's my number one WR for the Patriots. Chris Bell is a close Second if we miss out on Hurst. I want us to get a Big X-WR with a #1 Upside.

I remember last year I was little nervous about Jayden Higgins for that very reason. Glad I was wrong about him: he looks like he going to be a Good one. I am learning to be patient with young players.

Speaking of KW I hope he develops in year to the point of keeping S Diggs on the bench. I'm really hoping there's more to him than being a deep threat.
