2026 Draft Week Chatter Thread...

[Cujo]

In Bruglers final mock draft he had Lawrence going 26 to the Bills. I don't think he was a reach at all. Bruglar usually has a pretty good beat of what NFL teams thing of players.

Brugler is usually pretty good right?

 

[fortsbest]

Ah well, the Downs pick made this a win regardless the reach at 23. Goodnight gents.

 

[Cotton]

I heard him say "what a reach"

Maybe he was talking about M-Law's long arms.

 

[Smitty]

Great start to the draft.

Hopefully we can use that new ammo to get into the 2nd tomorrow night.

Or just sit back and get home runs later.

 

[NoDak]

I do not have any major complaints.

Good night, fellas.

Guess we'll have to postpone our dustup until tomorrow night.

Tonight went unexpectedly well.

 

[Cujo]

I may use a fourth to move up from 92 to get a LBer. Rodriguez, Hill, Allen, Golday and Trotter. Just let one of them make it to the third.

Yeah, i’d see if that happens first and if it doesn’t, then I would trade for Brooks

 

[Prodigal_Son]

He’s been a 4-3 DE his entire career. I’m shuddering at the thought of him as a 3-4 OLB dropping into coverage or trailing a back into the flat.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Absolutely. I don't know if this guy will ever be a top of the league pass rusher, but I do believe he'll be a steady 8-10 sack guy that will give you some splash plays behind the line of scrimmage.

Get us a LBer by either trading into the 2nd, or trade for Brooks from Miami. And this defense now has a whoooole different feel to it.

I'm not saying he is Ware. But in terms of measurable he is similar if not better across the board. The first step quickness and burst is elite. I'm actually really pumped about Downs and Lawrence. I wanted an extra third with a trade down but I'll take two fourths instead.

I appreciate our current state of truce.

If we take any NDSU players on Saturday, I will consider our game officially on.

6-4+, 250+, 1.59 ten, 40" vertical... He can do it. In fact he'd be better suited to this.

DC.com Kyle Youmans saying this past week he could sense how obsessed the front office got with Malachi

 

[Genghis Khan]

So would you now trade a fourth to Miami for a LBer...

Hell that's a great idea.

 

[Smitty]

He’s been a 4-3 DE his entire career. I’m shuddering at the thought of him as a 3-4 OLB dropping into coverage or trailing a back into the flat.

Perhaps you watched him extensively but he has the traits it looks like. Ware was a lifelong DE too.

 

[NoDak]

In Bruglers final mock draft he had Lawrence going 26 to the Bills. I don't think he was a reach at all. Bruglar usually has a pretty good beat of what NFL teams thing of players.

If we hadn't taken him, I have zero doubt that he would have been taken in the next few picks. I would have been ok taking him at 20. Getting him after picking up a couple 4ths is just gravy.

 

[boozeman]

He’s been a 4-3 DE his entire career. I’m shuddering at the thought of him as a 3-4 OLB dropping into coverage or trailing a back into the flat.

I trust his ass way more to do that than Faulk.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

He played from a 2 point stance though most of the time right?

 

[Cotton]

What a great day it is. It has been a long fucking time since I was this happy after day 1.

 

[Smitty]

I trust his ass way more to do that than Faulk.

Faulk would have been a 3-4 DE.

Which I think we still need.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I trust his ass way more to do that than Faulk.

I mean he was in a two point stance most of what I saw. Its very similar to 3-4 OLBer.

Aside from the fourths, that's it for the Micah Parsons trade, correct?
