2026 Draft Week Chatter Thread...

[Texas Ace]

But why would we move up one spot when we had our pick of Bain or Downs?

 

[dpf1123]

Maybe someone was trying to jump them to get Downs?

 

[bbgun]

Jerry just couldn't stay put

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Yes, we did. For two 5s.

I mean, why did we do that? I don't get it but the Dolphins must have scared us. Fucking nonsense.

 

[Cotton]

Two to move up one spot is kinda dumb.

 

[Texas Ace]

wtf? why?

Exactly.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

This has to be Downs. I’d then trade up for Bain.

 

[data]

Wow. So much excitemennt in the room stilll.

Someone just butt-slapped SOM

 

[boozeman]

Y'all all timestamped me.

But I thought it first.

this is what happens when you get locked in on one player

 

[Texas Ace]

This is the only acceptable reason to move up one single spot when you were guaranteed either Downs or Bain.

 

[boozeman]

This has to be Downs. I’d then trade up for Bain.

How are we trading up after giving up precious fifth collateral?

 

[Smitty]

Someone else must have been flirting with Miami to move up

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Two to move up one spot is kinda dumb.

Yeah, like we just couldn't stand the though of taking 3 players in the fifth round, burning a hole in our pocket. Like what did the Dolphins say on the phone, we know you want Downs, give us your fifth or we will take him to fuck you?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Welp, it happened

 

[Texas Ace]

I mean, why did we do that? I don't get it but the Dolphins must have scared us. Fucking nonsense.

That means we weren't interested in either Bain or Downs and Miami was going to take the one guy we did want between the two.

 

[Smitty]

If it’s not Downs I will be upset

 

[data]

Full room applause with Derek Ansley DB coach walkinng into the room

 

[Cotton]

Now, you watch, they won't take Downs or Bain.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I mean, it was like 171 and 180. Not worried.
