2026 Draft Week Chatter Thread...

[Smitty]

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

Eh, we can recoup a fifth. If it’s for the last elite defensive player I can live with it. I was saying I was ok with 6 and 39 for 12 and 20 if it was for Styles Downs or Reese.

Of course a lengthy set of commercials before they announce the pick.

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.

I'm sure it's for Downs. He is literally the personification of what our DC said he wants in a nickle.

 

[Texas Ace]

I'll lose my shit if we take Downs and Bain somehow drops to 20.

Nickel.

 

[Smitty]

DOWNS

 

[Cotton]

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

[Cujo]

There it is

 

[Stars]

FUCK YESSSSSS

[Newt]

Man fuck those 5ths.

We can, but we need more picks not less. I won't freak out, but it sounds like the Dolphins probably fluffed us.

David Moore said this was the one player we would be willing to trade up for.

 

[dpf1123]

Mel loves him.

 

[Texas Ace]

 

[Cotton]

A few of you are a few seconds ahead of me. I saw Smitty DOWNS about 10 seconds before they announced it on NLFN.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Good news is we got Downs. One of the best safety prospects in awhile. I think we got a leader on the D for the next decade. Super intelligent guy.

 

[boozeman]

Y'all did notice how Spaulding was right there in the middle of the screen when this pick was made.

The stage is being set.

 

[boozeman]

I am good with this pick.
