2026 NFL Draft General Discussion

i would love to go OL at 14
but i dont think there's any elite guys - and i reckon other teams will reach on some of these OL as well
The more I have watched Ioane, the less sure I am about him tbh.

I love Pregnon but 14 is too rich. I need to watch some Chase Bisontis, heard some good things
 
Really enjoying the 2026 NFL Draft discussions so far. It’s fun to see fans talk about young talent, team needs, and possible surprises. Every draft brings new hope, and this one already feels exciting. You never know which player will become a future star. These kinds of conversations make the offseason more enjoyable. Reading takes and predictions while relaxing in my NFL KCF Taylor Swift Varsity Jacket just adds to the vibe. Can’t wait to see how draft night plays out and which teams make the smartest moves.

For me the top 3 OL right now are Fano, Pregnon and Maigoa

Freeling and bisontis in that next group

Ioane in the group after
 
I like him but idk about at 14.. i like tate better

tate im finding a bit tough to evaluate
looks like an elite vertical threat

legitimately has some elite traits - vertical route stems, ball-tracking, owning the catch-point
but idk that i've seen enough of him in the intermediate range or over the middle

i think what i like the most about him is that he makes the QB right even when they underthrow the deep ball

i dont think he'll make it to 14
 
I know im in the minority here but if jlove there at 14, we gotta do it lol.

i'm probably wrong but i dont have jeremiyah love as the same level of prospect as jeanty or bijan
and to me that means i'd be disappointed with him at 14

but then again, i was completely wrong in my evaluation of jahmyr gibbs and james cooks - i was far too low on both of them coming out

I didnt like jeanty coming but bijan was a no brainer and also gibbs. I loved the way those two moved! Bijan could move and he had power. I didnt really care for cooks cause i thought he was like his brother who always tip toed through the hole but he actually ended being better. Love explosive with power too and thats why i like him! Id be surprised if his rookie isnt better than jentys

I agreeeee for sure.. I just dont know if malaki would be worth it at 14 though. I know he destroys zone cvg but havent seen him separate as much in man cvg. maybe its cause i havent seen much or at 14 im expecting a potential all pro talent. He does look like a guy who we will use exactly like how he was used at usc though but with tate, we dont consistently attack vertically enough so yea his intermediate game will be important
 
Honestly if we do go offense and it’s not Mauigioa (only OL I would want in the top end of the first) then I’d go with Lemon right now. Him and Zay would be a deadly duo. It’ll also give us a chance to decide if we want to extend Zay or not and if we do then it keeps them together for years creating an amazing WR duo.

I still want Bain but if he isn’t the guy and we don’t go defense then that’s who I would want on offense. I love Styles but I also think I’d rather take Lemon than another LB
