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

[ratkinson]

Two 1st round RBs from Notre Dame.

Taking Love's running mate (Price) at the end of the 1st was a solid move by the Seahawks.

 

[Zekeats]

can we package our 3rd and 3 4ths to move up to 40s for Rodriguez?

 

[ratkinson]

I enjoyed tonight's 1st rd so much, I forgot to take a drink.

Long wait to 92. Pickens to the Raiders for 36, 208 and 219 or Pickens to the Ravens for picks 45, 2027 4th, 211 and 253. I'd hate to waste a chance to debate. Good start so far. I think they will just wait it out. Pickens will probably just play on the tag this year and get tagged and traded for a late 1st next year.

I really thought Seattle would have traded back. Price is nice but he ain't worth a first round pick. They only have 4 picks this entire draft. I really think if they dropped back 10-12 spots they would have easily got that same guy.

Walker gone the other back coming off injury if you get cute trade too far back Price is gone . He’s exactly what they needed someone to be the feature back .

They aren't trading Pickens.

I think he was referring to the fact that they traded the 2 5th round picks to move up one spot to ensure we got Downs.

I’m pretty sure he was referring to trading Parsons but his mind wanders all over the place

 

[SlimBig]

I expect half the analysts to say we reached a little for Lawrence.

There's no reaching when we have no 2nd rd pick

 

[bleachedwheat]

They aren't trading Pickens.

I know that, I just figured we start up another reactionary thread. That thing exploded quick. He is toast next off-season in my opinion. Tag and trade all the way. If he stays out of trouble and has another 1000 yard season they might snag a mid first round pick out of him. It kind of sucks he won't sign long term but finacially it's not responible.

 

[bleachedwheat]

The concensus big board just started charging to see the entirety of their rankings. It figures, what in this world isn't a money grab. I don' t mind, I make my own every year anyways. Just figured I'd give everyone a heads up. Seems like it came out of nowhere.

Feels like "another" project whose RAS and underwear Olympics(combine) traits were taken over actual gameday film study.
Film that saw a 5 year college career produce a total of 20 sacks in a Big 12 conference.
Traits are NEVER to be taken over actual gameday footage.

It's how you end up with an offensive left tackle that you hope his ceiling is league average at best but more than likely proves to be an outright bust.

This team...
Kneeland(RIP), EZ, now Lawrence.
They're all essentially the same player.

And none of them a stand on his own merits NFL dominant NFL pass rusher in waiting.
Average is the hoped for ceiling.

Still waiting for the plan at LB.

Still waiting for the plan at LB.

My gosh bro.
Talk about a contrast in extremes.
They went from a team of no d tackles and safeties to now having plenty.
To a team of now no edges or linebackers.

Sad.

My only wish for day 2 is to somehow move up for CJ Allen, J-Rod or even Golday-but I feel like he's a project than polished.
Trotter too I guess but 2nd tier to CJ/JRod

 

[conner01]

He only had 15 starts..lol

I’m aware. But kids got talent and rams don’t need him now. He will be able to sit and learn behind a vet. That’s how good teams operate. Don’t just think about today

Same here. We come away with an ILB I am happy. But none of the good ones will make it to our next pick

 

[NotForLong]

And who is going to get the ball to Sadiq and Cooper?

Manning . . . eventually

 

[blueblood70]

Allen went to Georgia

Yes I realize my mistake Either way it came from a good school but he's left CJ Allen was a good player We need a linebacker but also Anthony Hill Rodriguez if you're gonna reach and maybe it's just 'cause they couldn't find a trade partner to go down a little further this guy feels like he's very athletic but there's a concern both about his health how he can hold up in the NFL But now that I've done a lot of research apparently Lawrence was definitely targeted by Parker..

Jerry allowed Parker to get his two guys in the first round so now it's all on Parker so let's remember this is not Jerry Jones picking guys like Taco or Mazi or Hill these are his scouts people like Will Mcclay and his coaching staff giving him the list of players they want and past due trust them because he hired them for their expertise..

Yeah but that's not the point I think they're questioning it because they believe their backup quarterback now is better than this guy Sure it creates competition but you don't take a 13th overall player at quarterback that is gonna be a project.. You took Mahomes was taken in that same area.. Just in case you didn't notice he wasn't a project..

Yes you should get your quarterback of the future if you feel like that's coming really soon but also can't be raw and a project. I believe the guy's name is Carson Beck maybe whoever their backup is now is actually coming along just fine and that's why a lot of us think this was a dumb pic But hey we'll see how it works out but I still think it's a mistake..
