2026 NFL Draft

If this is him, let’s cash in the chip. To me Nebraska owes us one. I’m looking at you, Mr. Steinkuhler (and still Luv Ya Blue).

 

We have 6 picks in the first 4 rounds. Would you be happy with these?

 

I really like all the Offensive linemen you picked. Dunker may be playing guard, and if so, the entire interior line would be made up of rookies. That might make me nervous. I don't know much about the TE or RB

I've been wanting Jake Slaughter for a while now

 

Another name to remember for the draft. Alani Noa is a Guard out of USC. Should be a 3rd rounder. He's about 6-3 and 320 lbs. He really shows the swarm mentality on the football field. He would be a steal in the draft. I'm not going to go into all the specifics, but he is really quick for a big guy with a low center of gravity, anchors well, good power, knows how to get downhill, and plays through the whistle. A really fun watch as he has lots of energy and you can tell he really enjoys the game.

 

Some of you guys have memories like an elephant. You go way back.

 

He's returning to USC for the 26' season.

I dont like this mock; Pregnon lasted until the 3rd and CLE chooses Nussmeier in the 2nd

 

Watching film this weekend of some games, if we’re looking for a late traditional in line tight end with some upside for receiving capabilities but primarily a block with great technique I really like the TE from A&M.

a good value RB at some point would be Singleton out of Penn. runs very well and has measurable, just a very down year. Could be an upside pick?

 

A knock on him is vision. Emmett Johnson out of Nebraska is said to have great vision. I'd like to take him, Mike Washington out of Arkansas or Jonah Coleman out of Washington.

 

After Sadiq I'm not sure that there is a TE worth taking in the first 4 rounds. I would definitely support using a fifth on Will Kacmarek out of Ohio State. Fwiw, here is his PFF grades for the season.

 

I followed Sadiq most games and he is average at best. If he joined last years draft he would have been a third or forth rounder at the position

 

It seems that he disappears in some games based on his PFF game-grades. If he can block well I think he'll be very good, but I've heard conflicting accounts regarding his blocking. Based on his smaller size, I suspect he's not well-suited to take on some of the DE's in the league in pass protection. But as a receiver he's undoubtedly a b**** to cover. I wouldn't be against picking him BUT is he really going to help us the most in 26' and the future?

 

Here's an analysis of my boy, TE Will Kacmarek out of Ohio State. I think taking him in the 5th or later will fill a need, which is a large, physical, TE, that abuses DE's and LB's. He's an enforcer. He would fill a need, even if he won't be confused with Brock Bowers.


TEOhio State
Height: 6 - 5 |Weight: 262 lbs |RAS: N/A
Will Kacmarek spent his first three seasons at Ohio, before transfe8rring to play for the regional blue-blood: The Ohio State Buckeyes. At Ohio State, he served as a quality TE2 for two seasons, peaking in 2025 with 15 catches for 168 yards and a respectable PFSN TE Impact score of 76.7. Kacmarek never emerged as a starting talent at Ohio State, and lost reps to Max Klare in the passing game. That said, Kacmarek maintained his value as a high-quality blocking presence. At 6'5", 259 pounds, with plus length and play strength, Kacmarek sizes up well in contact situations, and while his leverage, pad level maintenance, and leg drive post-contact can be more consistent, he engages with force, is capable of operating as a sixth pass-protector, and can be difficult for defenders to unlatch. As a receiver, Kacmarek's upside is visibly capped. Athletically, he's not overly explosive, fluid, or balanced, with visible hip stiffness that constricts his route tree, and he's not very flexible in contortion situations. That said, Kacmarek's arm reach and strong hands provide measured value in red-zone and conversion scenarios. Best as a late-round pick or PFA, Kacmarek projects as a rotational TE and primary blocking TE in heavy personnel sets, whose toughness and role versatility set a stable floor.

 

PFF has some crazy mock draft settings and so just for fun...

 

22. Houston Texans (PROJECTED TRADE WITH LOS ANGELES CHARGERS)

Blake Miller
Clemson · OT · Senior

The Texans send two fourth-round picks to the Chargers, who currently have just two Day 3 selections, in order to solidify their right tackle spot. Miller's steadiness on the edge makes him the best senior tackle in this draft class.

38. Houston Texans (via WAS) -

Emmanuel Pregnon
Oregon · OG · Senior

59. Houston Texans -

Jadarian Price
Notre Dame · RB · Junior (RS)

69. Houston Texans -

Darrell Jackson Jr.
Florida State · DT · Senior

 

Thanks for sharing this but I definitely don't anticipate that we will move up to 22 to take Blake Miller.

 

Sadiq to Houston. That would be intriguing, although it might be hard to pass on Proctor who was selected two picks later in this mock. However, Sadiq would definitely be a big shot in the arm for the offense.

 

There’s the full mock

 

Hill & Rodriguez over Golday is a hot take RN (esp. because they go in 2nd and Golday is taken pretty deep into the 3rd)

Thanks for reminding me to look at this... I saw it on my phone yesterday, but it was too difficult to read and adjust.
