Not even top 3


Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State): Often cited as a top prospect with a high target share (over 30% when healthy) and exceptional playmaking skills, drawing comparisons to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Carnell Tate (Ohio State): A high-upside receiver who averaged 17.2 yards per catch in 2025, known for being a strong vertical threat and red-zone target.

Makai Lemon (USC): Frequently ranked as a top-two receiver in the class by experts like Daniel Jeremiah and Matt Miller, noted for his consistency.

Omar Cooper Jr. (Indiana): A high-target earner with a low drop rate, known for his ability to win both in the slot and on the outside.

Denzel Boston (Washington): A tall, 6'4" playmaker who has been a consistent touchdown threat.

KC Concepcion (Texas A&M): A versatile playmaker who has produced heavily in the SEC.

Can’t say I would hate that draft. I’m not as big on R Mason Thomas as others and would rather swap the rounds we take the Edge and WR but I like both players, especially Bernard. But just think R Mason T is just too light and too poor against the run

I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it.

Interesting that they have Chris Bell at 102 to the Raiders. He might not go as early as we all think.

I’d take Styles over Downs. But I’m not going to complain if it falls that way.

I really like Bernard. Getting him in the 3rd would be great!

I don’t like the 2nd round pick. I’d personally prefer Christen Miller, Keionte Scott, Jacob Rodriguez, Anthony Hill Jr., Malachi Lawrence, Gennings Dunker, or Zachariah Branch who were all available at that pick. Especially Lawrence if we are going Edge rusher.

I’d also prefer Jake Slaughter or an OL over Rolder.

Downs, Bernard and Keenan are solid picks and I like Wright too. The rest…ehh.

Tim Keenan would be perfect. Not flashy at all but he’s a true NT who will hold his ground and eat up blocks.

Love the draft but I think Thomas and Bernard both go before these picks.

Mansoor Delane is the only correct pick. Without a shutdown corner your defense is fricked if you don’t have a great pass rush and we don’t. We are middle of the road pass rush. Losing Demario and replacing him with Kaden Elliss who we paid more to get than just keeping DD is the big head scratcher. Until he starts showing he’s lost even a 1/2 step I’ll continue to believe he’s actually an alien that doesn’t age.

We have a lot of needs. CB is just one of them.

And Delane went at 8 in this mock, so he wasn’t available.

And what if we get a Bailey or Reese? That gives us a great pass rush and we don’t have to have the true shutdown at #8. Also, you can argue a great pass rush is more important. Even a great CB can’t cover for 10-12 seconds. You need a rusher who can get back there eventually to force a throw.

If you watched the games, you could see that Davis has lost a little bit of a step. He still better than 95% of the MLB out there. But he wasn’t blitzing as much and wasn’t as dominant on every single play like he had been in the past.

Again, still great…but you can see the signs of aging creeping in.

I think that he was saying that he is a safe floor wr2 to Olave and not that he was the 2nd best wr in the draft. He is decent mid round value

Seriously? Derek Stingley, Pat Surtain Jr, Christian Gonzalez, Denzel Ward (even if Cleveland sucks their D was still good), Jaylon Johnson, Devon Witherspoon. Shall I keep going?
