The Not Too Early 2026 NFL Draft Thread

[PDX Raider]

I'm not at all sold on Dart and if you watched him play trying to make up for his short coming with his legs and being an idiot his injury was %100 predictable.

Borrow has played one full season in the last three years.

Just need the Giants to be sold on him. The Raiders have to lose that game. I think Cleveland and Jets will luck into one more win each. Saints are a wild card, but they did just spend a second on Slough- and it would be a mild surprise if they move on after one year.

Same thing was said about Rattler for a couple of games. We will see how it plays out.

Yah I wouldn't bet on them passing on a QB if they are in striking distance.

Cleveland plays the Titans so one of our "opponents" are getting a win for sure.

Saints play the Jets/Titans/Falcons so again someone above us or near us is winning one or two games.

Bengals and Browns play eachother. Jets play all the other bad teams.

Giants play us and the only QB ever worse than Jamarcus in JJ McCarthy in a couple weeks.

Our destiny is the first pick. Finish the mission.

Liked specifically for the JJ slander.

He doesnt need my help haha.

I saw some blurb maybe here or somewhere that if he just spiked the ball in the turf every pass this year he would have a higher passer rating lol.

I still wouldn't be half surprised if he turned it around. The talent is there, he just needs to quit being a pussy.

True. Also one thing he needs to do is quit passing it to the other team every possession.

That would help. I blame the stupid face paint. He needs to quit wearing that shit.

I had a buddy that coached a boys youth soccer team years back and the kids all showed up wearing gold cleats and faux hawks and all that like the pros... he told them they weren't allowed to show up to practice like that unless they were good enough to pull it off lol. Josh Allen gets face paint, not Gen Z JJ.

He looks awful as does Ward.

I thought Ward was making some progress, but I was wrong. He was putrid against the Jags and it wasn't pressure related.

TWT. I'm glad it's not my job to pick QBs.

Then trade the pick for a safety!

Giants aren’t drafting a QB. Dart hasn’t been perfect but he’s shown them enough, especially considering their HC got fired, star WR injured, and starting RB hurt too. He’s going to be their guy in 2026 and the owners are going to use him to try and sell a top HC prospect on their team.

 

[Crossbones]

Raiders get the #1 pick.

Mendoza to Raiders: “Don’t draft me”.

I think he’ll be fine. Rookie two HC’s already and his number one weapon is some TE named Chig…

 

[Chris_77]

It does occur to me that we're about due for our regularly scheduled Moss/Seymour/Palmer/AB/DA trade.

 

[godeep811]

Saints fans seem to think Shough looks decent too. They actually should’ve won yesterday but Olave dropped the game winner. There’s a real chance they pass on QB. The pieces are falling in place for us to get Mendoza (or Moore if he comes out and we prefer him) if we don’t fuck it up.

You like Moore?

I don’t know

 

[raiderfreak7]

You like Moore?

I don’t know

Dante? Reminds me of CJ Stroud as far as a pro comp. Lots of talent, can make every throw. Only 20 years old come draft time if he comes out. Needs some refinement and experience but I think he's going to be a good one. Well worth a swing.

 

[godeep811]

Man, would love a good NT in the middle of the defense. OSU will likely 4 defensive players go in the first round.

A’Mauri Washington from Oregon is a brute of a man, too. I’d love adding either.

 

[Chris_77]

3 down NTs for me are like TEs and FBs to @Crow
