2026 Draft Boards, Position Rankings and Mocks

Depends what other defensive players are there but I'd take him if the choice were him vs. McCoy.

I would take McCoy over him. Assuming he looked good in drills yesterday. Which I honestly have no idea about because I didn't get to watch the workout. The workout numbers are great but with a knee I want to see the change of direction and ability to flip your hips. Something you can't see in a 40 or a vertical.

I will say, I like Love a lot. The more I watch him the more I see a guy who is more than just a receiver/speed guy. But I still don't think I'd put him in the same group as say Bijan. But if you do, I could see an argument for Bijan at 12 on this team.

The trade was 12 and 92 for 3, which I'd definitely do, but it seems very unrealistic.

I would actually take that trade, but there is no way Arizona would agree to that. I just looked at the trade value chart to see just how dumb that thought was by him, and they would be trading away 2200 in trade value points and receive only 1330 points back. No damn way.

There is no god damn way Arizona would take 12 and a late 3 for #3 overall. What is this dude smoking?

I don't think they would take 12 and a high three. That's just not realistic even if you throw the trade chart out the window and take a shit on it.

My guess is it would take 12 and 20 to move up that far. And Arizona probably would do that. The Cowboys absolutely should not.
 
Well, you know what they say, you learn something new every day. Today I learned that Bruce Feldman is a certified helmet wearing retard.
 
Can you image if we went from 12 and 20 to 3 and 20 and only had to give up a late 3rd? Holy fuck, that would be an all-timer trade that would be talked about on the Herschel Walker level for many years to come.

It would be incredible value but I'm not sure if I'd do it.

Based on his mock McCoy would have been there at 12, but he's kind of polarizing so let's say we maybe would have taken Thieneman at 12. Then at 92 maybe a guy like Height is there.

So it's just Bailey vs Thieneman plus Height. (Or for the pedants, whatever players are your version of that.)

I'm not sure just Bailey helps us as much as 2 good players given the state of this defense.

I wouldn't want Thieneman at 12, but keep in mind who you're talking to. If you think it was sickening watching me cape up for Brooks, you would be disgusted with how bad it would be with Bailey.

That's why I used Height at 92 to try to give you a soft landing. :lol

I saw some of the drills on YouTube and he looked pretty smooth, but I'm still taking Love over him given there's some risk coming off the injury.

Definitely not as much as before but still some.

Delane is a tossup for me in terms of Love, not sure which way I'd go exactly.

I'm definitely taking the other five defensive prospects over him.

If McCoy was coming off his 2024 season with no injury. And Love was coming off his 2025 season. I'd be going McCoy over Love. Just a better prospect.

Of course McCoy is coming off injury. Love is coming off a great season. And the Cowboys have a locked up RB with an elite offense and opposite end of the spectrum defense. So I'd still have McCoy over Love for the Cowboys. Plus I just value a lock down corner over a RB.

And I hate saying it because Love has actually grown on me. If our needs were different I can acknowledge I would likely feel different about drafting love. His size is great, his speed is great, his production is great (Although I think Notre Dame was creating some pretty massive holes for their RBs). There really isn't much to not Love about Love. I mean the guy is 6 foot, 212 pounds and ran a 4.36 forty. He averaged 6.9 yards per rush, went over 1300 yards rushing (This year), and chipped in with another 280 receiving yards while averaging 10 yards a catch.

And oh by the way in 2024 he also averaged 6.9 yards per rush so he isn't just some one year wonder. I really can't say I have concerns about him. He is a great RB. And a year ago I probably would have had him as a dream given our RB situation. But Jevonte/Pickens really changed the entire feel about the offense last year.

Even if BPA has multiple offensive positions ranked higher and there is no trade down available...?

Yet again, you have to balance need and BPA. You can't go pure BPA or need. Teams that draft well can maintain that delicate balance.
