2026 Draft Superthread And Draft Prospect Discussion

[wu-dai clan]

Even if we sign C and G in FA, I'd still like do draft both of these earlier...

My central point here is that we can remedy IOL woes with UFAs plus day 3 picks. Of course part of it is the PFF algorithm.

Proto Mock.

Lemon (WR) BPA. Weapon. In for UFA QJ, aging Keenan. Aman-Ra vibe Slot/Outside playmaker to bunch with Ladd.

Allen (LB) Professional Grade. Well rounded PON.

Everette (CB) Outside Zone Corner. Solid against run. Good Minter profile.

Dennis-Sutton (EDGE) Perfect fit @ PON.

Campbell (ORG) Second highest PON. Value. Great size. Get a UFA also.

Logan Jones (C) Value at highest PON. Wrestling background. Processor. Can spell "A-Gap."

Fisher (LB) ST. Depth at PON.

DL must be addressed in house and UFA, the way this board fell. Tito, Caldwell, Tart...

you're trying to make me cry, aren't you? you are ... you want me to cry.

I'm not gonna cry. sniff ... sniff ... oh fuck ... damn you!!!

Sign those UFAs and publish their names, I will of course assess any impact to draft strategy. I am a rationale thinking adult.

Joe signed IOL UFAs his first 2 years here ...

MICH HC Sherrone Moore has been fired.

I’m wondering if they make a play for Minter.

I'm wondering if Harbaugh will hire him in the offseason as an oline/assistant o-line coach or OC/assistant OC. Inquiring minds want to know...

Great draft, but I would be shocked if Logan Jones is there in the 5th. I think after all the tape and draft process he and C Pat Coogan will be gone by no later than the 3rd. I am all about taking either one of them in the 2nd.

As far as Dline. I think they resign Tart and Hand, then use their 1st round pick to take either DT Kayden McDonald or DT A’Mauri Washington. That will fortify their IDL for years.

What would be the best at 25 ?

Caleb Lomu, OT, Utha
Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State
or
Kalyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

You and I...and others...are gonna go round and round on this for the next few months...

Im G in the first, C in the second...no more screwing around...

This team would be SB contenders with an average oline...and we can do better...

Im not against FA IOL...but Im not holding my breath on that...

Id rather spend the money retaining the defense, then add some young beef to the oline in the draft.

This D, with an oline that can move the ball, protect Herbert, and keep them off the field more, would be top 5. Oh wait...they already are!

We have the weapons, we have the QB, we have the tackles...complete the project, Joe...once and for all.

Trade back IMO. Move back 3-4 spots and get a 4th and a 7th. I’m gaging that by and Ravens trade a while ago when they went from 24 to 26 and got a 4th and a 6th.

I'm with you if the right OL is not there ar 25

That's a very good question. I'm taking Ioane out, because I have not been impressed when I've watched him.

Proctor is a scary prospect. So much upside and bust potential. He has the ability to be an outstanding offensive lineman in the NFL, but when I watch him play he gets beat more often than I'd like.

I honestly have not watched Lomu play at all. He sounds like a safer prospect than Proctor, though.

I'm going defense if those are the three available options. I imagine there will be a better prospect at defensive tackle, edge, or cornerback when we're selecting 25th. Get the center in the second round, a guard in free agency, re-sign Zion at a reasonable price (if possible), and select a developmental offensive tackle in the mid-rounds (I'm thinking of Xavier Chaplin).

Startin mocks a lil early

[ChargingBolts]

MICH HC Sherrone Moore has been fired.

I’m wondering if they make a play for Minter.

I didn't think of this. This would suck. Minter has really stepped it up. The DBs the past 2 years have done great so I would like Clinksdale to take over. If no NFL team comes sniffing how could Jesse say no? Although if I was UM I'd of hired him over Moore but Jesse wanted the NFL instead? Moore's O has never been impressive. Scott Van Pelt made it seem that Moore's relationship was quite known for a while and wondered why they didn't terminate him earlier.
