2026 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

Yep I'm the idiot for calling out the Ravens dumb decisions. I was also an idiot for saying Harbaugh was garbage, yet look who was correct on that one.

Why do you declare yourself right on Harbaugh just because they replaced him after 18 years? Were you wrong when they did not replace him after year 15, 16, and 17 when they retained him instead?

Because most here got their underwear in a wad when I complained about him a few years back.

Gee. A DT in case Mads isn't the same player or gets hurt again? Depth on the line?

I guess Decosta hasn't learned to beef up the offensive and defensive lines. I'm not impressed with this draft. Loved the first two picks ,after that meh.

you mean after going 13-4 or whatever it was when we went to the AFCCG, yeah such a fireable offence.

 

[RavenTerp]

Just like they had a plan for OL the past few years, which completely failed?

The plan on the line was extremely successful the past few years as evidenced by number one offense in 2024. The plan failed in 2025 and they acknowledged that and have made it priority one this year.

and there goes Parker

the Bengals took two C candidates

Bengals investing in the trenches.

Must be nice.

Cuevas is the one guy so far that I don't know that I fully understand. Not as high on Sarratt as some but I do at least understand the appeal.

I'll be curious to take a deeper look into Hibner because on the surface, it feels like we didn't take advantage of the TE class as much as we could have, but I know he picked up some hype late in the process and I just didn't get there to confirm.

 

[ravenslord]

also we've got Vinson, Jones, Vorhees all slated as decent depth at OL - bullock as well if you're saying you want someone else to be the starter

I wanted better player depth in the trenches.

 

[ndub]

you mean after going 15-2, yeah such a fireable offence.

You and the crew are way too blindly positive, which I remember is why I decided to go to Russell Street Report. My bad. I'm out.

 

[gtalk12]

Easy now. Too many folks here drink the purple koolaid and go after people who challenge the status quo

you back with a vengeance

 

[RavenTerp]

I guess I offended some of you guys today with my negativity but just needed to vent. I was so excited with Vega and Zion, but just disappointed with EDC today. It was not the direction I would have went. Overall I don’t see a big impact with today’s picks. Just my opinion, but hopefully EDC can still make some moves after this draft. We could probably sign David Njoku and possibly hopefully another move on interior lines. If Mads comes back healthy and still plays at a level he used to, that could be a game changer, so there’s that. We are seriously lacking at depth in some important areas and will need to stay healthy.

Glad to see you come around. We will be fine. They will attack their other needs after the draft and we should get more out of our talent with this new coaching staff.

Bobby Jamison-Travis can't be real

basically just posted and then this Key and Peele name got drafted

 

[Florida Raven Fan]

Ndub does have a valid point and concern. EDC said he would fix the trenches and as of now doesn't seem like he's done enough. The season doesn't start tomorrow so he has time to fix it.

 

[ravenslord]

I guess he hasn't read my stick a fork in him rants! lol.

with day 3 picks

was more just commenting that they've drafted 2 guys who were in our C conversation

we've been looking for Cs and other teams are picking those guys to play G or T lol

 

[Simba]

LT: Stanley, Vinson
LG: Simpson, Vorhees
C: ???????, Pinter, Bullock, Gwyn
RG: Ioane, Jones
RT: Rosengarten

I think you could easily say we could use another T option, and I would agree. But how many guys picked in the last round or two are any different than the guys we already have?

 

[RavenTerp]

The fact this organization said they'd prioritize trenches and only have one trench player through 6 rounds is a joke

They already signed Simpson and now with VEGA that's a huge upgrade over last year's guards. They obviously were not impressed with the centers in this draft and will fill that need differently. You can't fill everything in the draft. No team has.

 

[rossihunter2]

i like Vinson
i like Jones
Vorhees is fine as a backup
i like bullock as a backup - ok with it if he has to be the starter

id say that's pretty good depth

and also now that we've got Ioane, Jones is probably going to be cross-training at G and T (unless they want to pretend there's some sort of competition)

I personally wanted someone else for LG. I don't like Vorhees and would've been happy moving on from him.
