2026 Draft: WR

None of his combine performance meshes up with what the reports on Lemon were coming into the combine. Every report said he's a team leader, laser focused, inspirational kinda teammate. Not this weird, lethargic stoner vibe he's given off at the combine.

The cynic in me makes me suspect he's been told by a team drafting late to tank his stock.

But the logical side of me realises even if that was the case, someone's still going to draft him top 15 based on the tape.
I thought about him trying to direct himself to a team, as well, but dropping 5-10 slots is forfeiting several million dollars.

Glad you tabbed Cyrus Allen he was Dusting people at the Senior Bowl. What's your take on Josh Cameron??
 
I thought about him trying to direct himself to a team, as well, but dropping 5-10 slots is forfeiting several million dollars.
This is an interesting thought and something I was thinking about the other night.
Would a prospect actually sabotage interviews with certain teams to avoid going there?

Yes they could risk $, but it’s not completely impossible.
 
you can see Jeff Caldwell's athleticism on that second play.

 
Not the highest grade out of anyone. Just sayin'.

The 2026 Schloss Stribling "DeZhaun of Music" Riesling Auslese is long, smooth, and sweet, with a great finish.
 
I have seen Stribling and Caldwell being mocked by many well into Day 3 on here...from the Fifth round onward: I don't think either gets past the Third Round. That's not too rich for my blood can't Teach Size and Speed: Issac TeSlaa went in the Third last year after a similar Rise.

I am leery of Tennessee Vols Wide Receivers: they have been very Meh in the NFL of late. I wouldn't touch Brazzell until the Third.
 
Not including Stribling and Caldwell, there are almost 20 WRs who are already projected to be top 100 picks:

- Jordyn Tyson
- Carnell Tate
- Makai Lemon
- KC Concepcion
- Omar Cooper
- Denzel Boston
- Chris Bell
- Chris Brazzell
- Ted Hurst
- Ja'Kobi Lane
- Elijah Sarratt
- Skyler Bell
- Antonio Williams
- Zachariah Branch
- Germie Bernard
- Malachi Fields
- Brenen Thompson

That's 17, just for a start. Deion Burks, Kendrick Law and Bryce Lance are also possible.

Some good WR prospects will slip to day 3.
