2026 Draft Superthread And Draft Prospect Discussion

[Lone Bolt]

No Hecht mention here. I will have a look. I remember you saw sime bad snaps from Logan Jones. Lots of pundits like him now.

Logan Jones...I saw a lack of power...and it was 1 game. On assignment, smart, tenacious...but overpowered a few times...

Nowhere near deep dives/multiple games watched on C prospects...still just going off brief watches, and scouting reports.

I get what your saying but for every Mack type you probably get 20 Larry English type. Now if Tucker is sitting there in the 6th or 7th, sure take a flier and see if he develops in a a year or 2z

you do indeed - odds are not his friend indeed.

He's a mad scientist in a Bottega Veneta jacket.

lol, was that a $15k jacket? idunno - I've never worn a jacket I'd pay $15k for, different scale indeed.

I can't even imagine Gro spending alot of analytical effort thinking about optimizing / setting the depth of the pocket. 3D chess vs shuffleboard.

Given how good McD is with the run game and TE usage...i am greatly warming up to the idea of having a guy like Sadiq pair with OG2. I wouldnt consider it if i thought Sadiq was a shit blocker. He is certainly one of the better blockers in this TE class. Despite being smaller.

Its probably time to say goodbye to Mack. We need to get younger in the edge position and use the big money on the Oline. Also sign Oweh!

People say Mack is great for the team culture etc. But I don't think he is in the big picture. HE's never once been on a playoff winning team. Not once.

I agree I think it’s time to move on from Mack considering how much he will cost. I love Mack but I disagree they need to get younger. I think resigning Oweh and signing somebody like Davis Ojabo on a prove it deal would be worth it.

Now your talkin'.
Sweet music.
Do we have enough juice at RB ?
I am thinking Sproles-like Demond Claiborne, who we are known to have talked to recently.
McD is gonna use everybody, including KLS, DD.

Shiny toys are great, ONCE IOL is up to Mike's & Justin's needs. Sadiq will not last > 10th, so...

First day Senior Bowl notes … It is always important to note that, as usual, the first day’s practices are held in shells, so one doesn’t want to get too carried away with observations from those early sessions. In fact, the early practice involving the National team was a rather tame affair even by first day Senior Bowl standards, although several players did stand out. Texas Tech NT Lee Hunter, for example, looked like a man among boys during the workout; he’s a massive 6-4, 325-pound wide body type who simply ragged doll more than one opposing offensive lineman, especially during team drills. What may have really caught the eye of pro scouts is that Hunter also displayed surprisingly light feet and easy lateral agility for such a big guy. One other player who may have introduced to the national draft world was Western Michigan DE Nadame Tucker. Not that he should have needed an intro as he tied with Texas Tech All-American David Bailey for the national lead in sacks with 14.5 this past season. Tucker isn’t all that big at 6-3, 250, but was very quick on the day, blowing past a number of big-time college OTs on a number of occasions including one poor soul who ended up on the ground without ever getting a finger on Tucker. Meanwhile, the throw of the day was by Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia who dropped a perfectly placed pass in the hands of Baylor’s Josh Cameron over tight coverage by Tennessee CB Colton Hood; Hood, though, got a spot of revenge when he won the end-of-practice one-on-one dual. we should also mention that while Clemson DE TJ Parker did not get that many snaps on the day, he was pretty dominant when he was out there.

The America practice later in the day was a generally livelier affair. Among those that stood during the late afternoon practice were DEs Zion Young of Missouri, Michigan’s Derrick Moore, and Gabe Jacas of Illinois and Florida DT Caleb Banks. And similar to Tucker above, Boston College ER Quin Hutchins also appeared to introduce himself to the wider draft world. Again, not a big guy, but very quick and elusive. While a number of defensive linemen stood out during the American workout, the offensive line actually held up pretty well for the most part with several including Florida C Jake Slaughter, OGs Jeremiah Wright of Auburn and Arkansas’ Fernando Carmona, and OTs Jude Bowry of Boston College and JC Davis of Illinois being particularly effective. On the other hand, one OT that did struggle noticeably was Austin Barber of Florida. Meanwhile, the ‘catch of the day’ award went to Ted Hurst of Georgia State who made a brilliant one-handed grab of a pass in traffic, while Notre Dame’s 6-4 Malachi Fields was also a load for the coverage group.

That's what I'm thinking. He's a possibility to take in a later round and have him compete with Kyle Kennard for the fourth spot.

I agree with fixing the interior offensive line first, but there has to be a player worth drafting in that spot. The Joe Alt pick made sense because he was definitely worthy of being a top five pick. It was a no-brainer pick given his positional value in comparison to Malik Nabers and Brock Bowers.

Vega is growing on me. I think he would be a good s******** at 22nd overall. I also feel that way about other players, so I won't be disappointed if we pass on Vega.

I'm not sure Sadiq is going top ten. Regardless I would take Vega and others instead of Sadiq at 22nd overall.

If they don’t bring back Mack and resign Oweh, I’m still hoping for an earlier pick at edge in the 2nd like Gabe Jacas. Even bringing in a guy like David Ojabo on a cheap prove it deal for a year going into the season looking like this at edge would make me happy

Oweh
Tuli
Jacas
Ojabo
Kennard

Malachi Fields looked like Nico Collins out there today.
