Get claimed by your rookie binkies: 2026 edition

[ctpatsfan77]

An annual PatsFans tradition . . . get claimed by your rookie binky/binkies here.

As ayjackson once noted, you don't pick binkies. Binkies pick you, so feel free to admit to multiple binkies.

And no, no RLKAG option.

I voted for Hutchins. Pulling for the BC kid. Pretty undersized and not ultra athletic but very toolsy. Has a chance at a position of need. Former captain. Has the BOB connection. Should be interesting to watch, will be fun to root for.

...sorry, I just had to ...

btw, I thought to qualify for binkie status you had to be no higher than 6th round.

There are no rules on binkydom.

Well it has to be Gabe Jacas for me. He was right up there as someone I wanted in the first round. also, I really want someone from a college that had everyone looking to see where it is. Culver-Stockton is in Missouri btw. Kyle Dixon is my other binky.

I always go with an UDFA and usually I pick well

Any of the draftees should at least make it on the team this year (or on PS or IR) anyways

I find it interesting that almost all of the 6th and 7th round picks are 24 or 23 years old - unlike the younger top draft picks

This makes a lot of sense in terms of finding guys developed enough to possibly contribute and I wonder if we'll see a continuation of that trend among the undrafted rookies

Yup, that was when we (and society) had more rules.

In that world, I would have chose Crownover.

At the moment, I think that the Head Coach needs all of the irrational loyalty that I've got to spare.
