DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft: Day 1

[farn]

Watching ESPN pre-draft and thought it was interesting that Goodell was asked about Vrabel before he was asked about the DoJ investigation.

Much to consider : your current state of DoJ, the public’s interest in salacious news vs more typical news, the general fan’s understanding of the court case.

But how long until the Patriots are on the clock?

I don't know, but I don't think I'm going to make it. I get up at .5 and I don't want to go on 4-5 hours of sleep tomorrow.

If anyone actually believes that they’re dumber than my pet rock.

Would agree with that is well

It’s a tough call. Looking at Goodell’s dopey face for around 4 hours doesn’t seem worth a lack of sleep hangover though

I think I'm going to go to sleep, set my alarm for 11:00, watch the Patriots trade out, then go back to sleep. Affairs and the Patriots trading out of the first round, I'm having flashbacks to the Belichick days.

NFLN or ESPN?
I like Jeremiah and can't stand Kiper, that kinda makes my decision for me.

And if I'm not mistaken Greenberg is hosting the ESPN Draft Show. I wouldn't watch that if it was the only broadcast.

BB drafts were almost always anticlimactic. I remember attending a draft-day party at Gillette years ago. The Patriots traded down and then much later picked a player nobody ever heard of. The crowd scattered like air being let out of a balloon.

I'm sure this will age well..but I think Mendoza is gonna be just average in the NFL.

Loved those days. Winning, winning, winning like the league’s never seen in the modern era.

If that’s what’s in store, I hope Vrabes gets numbers to other mic’ed milfs !

Sounds like there are good opportunities to trade up if theres someone we are eyeing

Bad draft to try to get teams to trade up imo. After 16, guess it's all the same.

Thats the thing, if some of these teams that want to trade down are having trouble getting takers, you can trade up at a discount. Just depends if theres a guy we’re in love with in the 20-25 range

Fair you might be right about that.

Here we $&%#*’ing Go!!!!

 

[Bill Lee]

Pittsburgh, what a dump.

 

[stcjones]

Has Foxboro/Boston ever hosted the NFL Draft?!

It’s funny that i can legitimately ask “what year was that?” And no one would be able to definitively answer.
