2026 Draft Boards, Position Rankings and Mocks

Don't mind Delane at 12 but if this is the way things fall I'm trying HARD to trade down at 20 with the hopes of picking up Hyphen and getting a pass rusher on day two after adding a day two pick with the trade down.

Yeah based on that I'm happy to trade 20 down to the late first.

I like Hyphen Safety. Give me the corner, Hyphen after trading down, and Thomas and let's roll.

Brugler saying Thieneman "solidified himself in the mid first".

Taking him at 12 wouldn't be as crazy as most would initially think.

Seems to be a lot who think he could go as high as 18 now. 12 still feels rich but you may not be able to wait until 20 either.

If he isn't in the top 10-12 players on your board though, he is still a reach at 12. But maybe he is. I didn't think Booker would go as high as our pick last year. But he was safe and a good player. Theineman is safe and a good player with high upside.

Yea the logic behind the picks would be similar, which is kind of what got me thinking about it in the first place.

But I also don't think there's much of a gap between Thieneman and the other defensive players we'd be considering at 12 assuming the top guys are gone.

That is a decent well-rounded draft. But you ruined it by manipulating it to get Payton, who would not shock me getting picked much earlier.

Yeah. It’s unrealistic.

I should have took him at 18.
