16 to 88 wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2026 9:02 pm Possibility Hood, Hunter and Cooper could all be there at 36. Pregnon has consistently been in the mid 2nd round big boards I watch which in turn means he could easily be drafted at the top. If the Cardinals or Titans don't snag him we will have a chance at him. That is unless the Giants or Texans don't leap frog us for him.

I suspect the Titans will draft Love and then a guard with their 2nd pick.

The Cardinals will likely select an OT with pick 1 and they are okay at guard and it wouldn't surprise me if they try and leap frog the jets for Simpson and trade up.

I don't see the Jets going OL early if at all.

The Giants need a WR so Tate may be the pick but they also are in need of a guard. Would they select Ioane at 5? I don't see it but that wouldn't preclude them from moving up in the 2nd and taking Pregnon.

I'd be shocked if the Texans took Pregnon at 28 but again, it wouldn't stop them from leap frogging us but the only thing about that is they are likely going to take the best OT at 28 so would they then move up and take a guard just a few selections later?

So assuming the Titans snag Pregnon, would we attempt to move down some and acquire another pick(s)? Haven't seen a board where Rutledge is in the 2nd round much less at the top of the 2nd. Pretty much he's consistently been in the mid 3rd round range. If I were to guess, if Pregnon is taken before us or they have Rutledge as a better fit we may go another direction with pick 36 or trade down and try and scoop up Rutledge in the 3rd. The guy is a violent mauler and a physical freak. He had a 4.54 shuttle time which is absolutely insane for an OG.

As for RT I can't help but think it's open season and may the best man win.

Edit to this post: One of the boards I frequent just updated their board and Rutledge leaped all the way from the middle of the third to now the middle of the second and is considered now the 2nd best OG prospect ahead of Pergnon.

I like Drew Shelton as a mid round prospect at RT, if we can’t get a top prospect at OT then maybe drafting one in the 3rd & let then then compete with Glaze

Dunker & Stephens out of Iowa look like good prospect but Iowa always seems to produce well rounded technically proficient starting NFL linemen

I have a feeling that the interior may be set with JPJ/Rogers at LG & RG respectively, i think we as fans are sleeping on Rogers but he is a strong fit for what Kubiak usually does although i would like to see us adding another OG & OT through the draft

They may see Rogers as the guy which will allow them to focus on finding day one starters elsewhere

I would see some sort of mix of NT, OG & OT from round 2 through 4, get the trenches sorted working from front to back

2. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Safety, Toledo 6'4" 202 lbs, 4.52
3. Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson 6'0", 187, 4.41

I am still not buying into a WR in rounds 2-3, maybe even round 4. Too many holes in the roster on defense and O-line.

PS why are you so down on Rogers and Grant? They never had a chance last year; I think we have a starting tackle and guard there.

BoKnows81 wrote: Mon Apr 13, 2026 1:09 pm Where did you see me say I'm down on them? I am on record stating Grant should be groomed for Miller's job at LT and Rogers was developmental and drafted by a completely different regime. There are Day 1 starters at guard this year in the 2nd round and likely a few others that would be upgrades over Rogers. Doesn't mean I'm down on him. And Grant has never played RT. I'm not throwing him there blindly.

I wouldn't mind trading Maxx to the Rams for #13 and next years #2.

Then draft Vega ahead of Ravens and give them a big FU...
