2026 Draft Week Chatter Thread...

[Chocolate Lab]

John Park obviously discovered the new market inefficency is to trade 5th rounders for current players... Worked so well with Elam and Murray.

I'm hoping Winters is just a subpackage type guy. He can't be who we are relying on to start in the middle.

Been looking him up a bit. He is a decent LBer for what he is. Which is a cover and fly guy. Not a hammer in the middle.

But my question is, why now? This is a move that's made after the draft. Or at the very least, IN the round of the pick you just traded away. Because, Oh.... I dunno.... You might have found a better guy in the 4th?

I think it means they weren't expecting to have the extra 4th's and don't want to be forced to draft a LB vs sticking to their board.

Diego Pounds, drunko.

Sixth round no sooner, fan boy.

 

[Carp]

Goddamn, @Carp

You have fallen off.

Nah. We need multiple bodies there and he is a part of the solution. He’s worth a 5th rounder.

This was a Wino Coach thing that we are pretending is better than he is. He started last year due to injury.

Terrell really plummeted based on media pubs.

And that's great. Still should have waited until the 5th to see if you had to make that move.

I'm thinking more 7th or UDFA.

You apparently have been away so long that you missed how important choices in Round 5 are.

Sixth round no sooner, fan boy.

If you're not going back to Bukowski, then rest of us should adopt a Jones.
Cotton = Jerruh
Genghis = Jerry Jr
Unk = Charlotte
me = Spaulding
Choco = John Stephen
p1_ = Paxton

 

[Carp]

We traded a 5th for a decent player, at a position of need, and haven’t taken a player yet, but we’re all upset? Ok.

 

[boozeman]

I really Wikey Hunter.

 

[NoDak]

I hope this sadness is from realizing how you defiled a board classic emoji.

 

[ravidubey]

And that's great. Still should have waited until the 5th to see if you had to make that move.

But by that time they may have already reached for a LB with either their 3rd or one of their 4ths.

The point is now that temptation is off the board.

They can legit field a NFL-caliber LB corps rn.

 

[ravidubey]

Hunter went higher than I thought. He's really good, thought he might be a steal at 92

Might be because they're fine with him as just the 3rd ILB given the price if that's how it works out.

 

[ravidubey]

Eagles going to draft CJ Allen, right?

 

[Carp]

We’d have to give up both 4ths and the 3rd to get up here right?

 

[Simpleton]

I really Wikey Hunter.

Giants are going to end up starting Dominique Orange all year.
