The Official 2026 NFL Draft Thread (No Spoilers)

And he fell to the 6th round?!

 

He has good size and from the highlights he might be good against the run.

 

And Dunker should beat out Anderson and Hoffman at LG.

 

Cool mustache!

 

Wait, the Browns drafted Taylen Green?

No seriously. Phone died and I had to return back to the hotel. Have a plane to catch early Monday.

 

It isn't that these guys don't fit. It is that the Steelers are passing on better players to reach for them. They could have gotten a versatile defender and possible future starter at safety, like Louis, or a few other options, and taken the kick returner later. This draft could have been so much better.

Take the third round as an example. They reached for an athletic corner who simply wasn't good despite ample opportunity to develop instead of a guard who was a perfect fit for their need. I like Dunker, too, but Pregnon is the better option. Maybe they lose out on the corner, but Scott is a better player and better fit anyway. Swap those two guys in, and this would look a heck of a lot better.

 

Let's get Aidan Fisher

 

Both Loudermilk and Leal were huge mistakes by the Steelers as they were not made to play DE in a 3-4.

Rubio as you pointed out is a classic run stuffing 3-4 DE. Not sure why this is a bad 6th round pick for the Steelers.

 

LORD,

HOW ABOUT TWO MORE SELECTIONS OF SH!T SIR?

 

I had stated 7th. My mistake. I dont find the player to be the issue entirely.


Players such as VJ Payne though?! Man... I would have gone after him.

 

I am hoping the new staff will let Yahya Black play NT this year. Never understood why Tomlin & Austin were so dead set on not letting Yahya play NT.

 

He is gonna be a NT?!

Might wanna have him add 15 more pounds then.

 

yes everbody does now if you an index 500 fund.

 

If we are looking for DE in 3-4, Rene Konga MD
If LB, then Aidan Fisher IU

 

That goes back to what I've been talking about since the first round. This team should be trying to fix the safety position and they keep missing on opportunities to do so.

 

Kahn thought Dallas has 3 WRs, they are not looking at Lemon. He put his guard down, although at that point in time it was too late to do anything. He was outflanked by Jerry. Truth be told I like the receiver we got in the 2nd better than Lemon. No more drafting diva receivers.


If anyone should be upset it should be the Cowboys fans. They have to face Lemon twice a year now.

I hope Lemon has career high games against the Cowboys.

 

I know people are fixating on that, but I really do not care about the whole Lemon fiasco. They addressed that in the second round. I just think it should have been Thieneman over either guy.

 

6'5" is what the talking heads said. 325LBs. Could add weight for NT, or trim down 15-20 for DE.


I would love for us to get VJ here b

 

I know it's late in the draft, but the coverage has been terrible today .

 

From hearing the reports Black struggled when he played NT.

 

He's already like 321lbs

 

Wouldnt hurt to add a bit more. He looks like his frame can handle it. If not 15, 10lbs is doable.

 

@Formerscribe Here's your safety in the 7th round
