Draft Day ***2026 NFL Draft First Round Thread***

[bleachedwheat]

Rutledge is a junk yard dog. So glad he got the recongnition. He was another one of my favorite prospects this year.

I've heard some hype about Lawrence here on this site... I think some of the Dallas media was hyping him as well. Other than that I've barely heard his name. You guys sure this isn't a bit of a reach?

Huge run on offensive linemen in the first. Can tell there is not enough talent out there.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Pretty satisfying 1st round I must say

If they really want to go crazy, Trade for 49ers 30th pick for a Cowboys 3rd and a 4th this year and 3rd next year Just to see the explosion of reports.

Dallas has three 4’s trade one to move up from 92 for Allen or Rodriguez

92 and 112 can only get you to 75-80.

Bain and Thieneman would have been amazing. Downs and Lawrence good though.

I like Downs and Lawrence better. I do think it may take Lawrence a little longer to adjust to the NFL than Bain.

Love the lineup so far, and they are looking very stout. It is a young defense though, which means we are building for the future not the present and that is what they need to be doing. I dig it.

Those are present guys.
Malachi is ready to come in
Now and rush the passer. Downs is a day 1 starter…

e

trade the 3rd to Miami for Brooks and that solves that issue.

Make it one of those 4ths. And it would be great.

It's just the media scouts being behind the professional scouts.

Where he was taken, it’s fine.

He’s an uber athletic kid who has elite pass rushing traits but will need to be better against the run.

Bain as a bull rusher I’m wondering how long it will take him to get acclimated

Wow.....Texans move up past SF for Keylan Rutledge RG Georgia Tech
The run on O-line continues......Pushing down all the CBs. Very interesting......Keeping the dream alive for

Could the Cowboys get three #1s this year?

Rumor has Chiefs getting Pickens for their #29.

Where did this come from?

 

[Risen Star]

Who's better messidor or Lawrence?

Mesidor.
