DRAFT Draft Rumours 2026

Fwiw Wolf mentioned that the CB class was not strong this year. Probably smoke but do we really think he's clever enough to pull that off?
I was surprised at that. I don't think it's much worse than other years. Perhaps lacking in people at the top of the board.
 
The stress of being an Eagle. The years will fall off him once he's back under Vrabel.
I don't think that's how it works but I guess no WR unless it's extreme value or a Slot guy on Day 3.
 
One NFL GM on Treydan Stukes. I hope it’s Eliot Wolf

“One NFL general manager called Stukes "one of the best safeties I've seen [in my time as a GM]," and added he would draft him ahead of Ohio State safety Caleb Downs. "This guy makes freaky plays that I haven't seen other safeties make." It would not be a shock to see Stukes sneaks into Round 1.”

From Adam Schefter’s draft intel.



If it was Eliot Wolf, he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.
 
In the light of the latest rumours, let's try to break things down.

Round 1

I doubt WR is likely as the Brown trade is looking almost certain.

Max Iheanachor is very likely if he's there.

The guards are possibilities and may be BPA if Iheanachor gone.

As for EDGE - Cashius Howell (Wolf wants speed) and the two late visits, Jacas and Lawrence, might be the most likely. Jacas with a trade back?

Round 2

For the same reasons as the first, you'd probably rule out Stribling here (shame!).

Keyron Crawford, DDS, Derrick Moore and maybe Barham are possibilities if they miss out on EDGE in the first. Do they double dip at EDGE at 31 and 63? That would be bold, but arguably, needed.

TE is another possibility. Stowers (unlikely), Klare and Delp are the most likely.

Maybe safety Zakee Wheatley? I'd love Keionte Scott but there hasn't been a sniff at that being a pick.

I think this is a good trade back spot.

Round 3


Burke/Bell if we miss out on a RT.

Another safety spot perhaps.

Get the pick of the day 3 TEs here.

DT perhaps? Onyedim or Proctor?

I can't see too many other options at this spot.

Round 4

Like the Farmer/Swinson picks last year, this is a good "which BPA has fallen" spot.

I like round 4 for TE and/or LB.

Like the Farmer/Swinson picks last year, this is a good "which BPA has fallen" spot.

I like round 4 for TE and/or LB.

Unless Mesidor slips, I am increasingly think OL (Iheanachor, Miller, Rutledge) or DL (McDonald, Banks) in round 1, and the opposite in round 3 (Proctor/Onyodim if OL in round 1, Burke if DL). Then EDGE in round 2.

Round 4 we have 2 picks, 3 likely targets: TE, LB, S.

So we're at pick 31 and Max Iheanachor is on the board. However, the Cardinals call offering 34 and their 5th rounder (190 pts v 189 pts). do you?

A) Take the trade.

B). Stick and pick Iheanachor.

C). Stick and pick someone else.

D). RLKAG

The trouble with taking the trade is that the NYJ could trade their pick to a RT needy team.

B for me.

E) Demand a 4th in addition to 34. I think we can squeeze that out of them since they’re going up for the QB to get that 5th yr option.

I'm asking for more than a 5th. Probably a '27 3rd.

I ask for a 2027 3rd instead of the 2026 5th. I take the trade.

He seemed like the perfect Patriot but his stock has put hik out of reach sadly.

Phew if true. I want to be able to scout next years first rounders.
