[quote=calia;1380384]Shit. Lawrence to the Bengals for the 10th pick. They (Giants) have 5 and 10. Ugh.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/quote]They have had their best offseason in years. Had a very solid FA, hired a SB winning coach with decades of experience, and now have 2 top 10 picks. Whole division should be improved next year for NFC East.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

Does the trade impact our intentions? Did the Bengals come asking about Payne and we said no? Probably maybe and I doubt it, or a good package for the #10 and Payne couldn't be agreed (I'd guess they'd want an extra pick or two and Payne).

But it does add an extra consideration to our pick. Who are the Giants after that they wanted the extra pick so much? Probably WR or CB. Does that change our choice? Probably not, but it does make me hope we spoil the Giants party a bit with whoever we pick.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

If you could would you be willing to trade down and only have picks 50 and 71 in this draft and receive the following in 2027: Tennessee 1,2,3, Buffalo 2d, Carolina 2d, Detroit 2d?

It seems like a steal for the Giants to be perfectly honest. A top 10 pick for a nose tackle that is turning or is 29 seems crazy. From what I've read the trade was an addition by subtraction for the Giants. Lawrence was disgruntled and Harbaugh didn't want that contaminating the locker room so they shipped him off. Plus it sounds like it gives them 13 mil in cap space.

Payne is no Lawrence but if Cincy is giving out blue chip draft capital for him I'd think a day 2 pick and maybe a day 3 is reasonable.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

I also suspect Harbaugh was pretty pleased to stick Lawrence in the AFC North so that the team that just fired him has to see him 2X per year.

I just saw a mock that made me throw up in my mouth a bit -- Giants use picks 5 and 10 to get Love and Downs. I think they need something more for their already dreadful run defense, but without some dominant interior D lineman projected to go early, I could see this happening. And it would suck for us. I guess I have to wrap my brain around the fact that with 2 picks in the top 10, they're going to get two impactful players. Maybe we can suggest to Schoen that he take on Rivera as a draft consultant so that they can make a Forbes-like move.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

Couple of days left. Seen a couple of reports saying to avoid Styles and I can see why. I've run a few 1st round mocks and every time Love is gone, so I'm taking Downs, Delane or Tate in that order of preference. A trade down now just feels wrong, especially with the Giants getting the #10.

I agree re: trading down at this point. It will be interesting to see if the Cowboys try to trade up -- I could see that happening. I hope we get Downs. We haven't done enough to shore up the back end which was a terrible weakness for us last year. I haven't heard anything negative about Styles -- if you have links to any posts on that, I'd like to see it. I have to believe that one of Reese, Bain, Downs, Styles, or Bailey will be available for us at 7 (my guess is Downs or Styles based on positional value). I assume Love is likely gone with the Titans at #4, and there surely must be an OT that goes in the top 6.

I don't like this mock: [url]https://www.nfl.com/news/seven-round-2026-nfl-mock-draft-round-one[/url]. Downs and Styles in the division.

What's wrong with Styles?

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

My Top 7 Player Big Board for Our Team (no trade down included):

1. David Bailey
2. Arvell Reese
3. Mansoor Delane
4. Caleb Downs (him and Delane are more like 3a/3b)
5. Jeremiyah Love
6. Carnell Tate
7. Sonny Styles

Don't think we have a realistic chance at the Top 2.

I’m curious why you have Styles last?

[quote=vallin21;1380402]I’m curious why you have Styles last?[/quote]

Last is still a Top 7 player. It's not an insult. But position matters as well. If we didn't have Jayden, Love would probably be No. 7. But the thought of Jayden and Love in the same backfield seems pretty bad-ass.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

The guy that has biggest bust potential is Styles. I don't think you take him in the top 10.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

If the cowboys offered it (they wouldn't), would you take 12 and George Pickens (assuming he agrees to a new contract first) for 7?


Just looking for topics to waste the next 30 mins.

Off ball linebacker in the Top 10 is a risk in general. While Jamin Davis wasn't a Top 10 pick, he was a 1st round pick, that was not good, that makes it even more scary. Styles isn't my favorite choice.

I'd like Downs or Delane based on guys that sound like they could be available at 7.

I wouldn't even sign George Pickens as a free agent, never the less do a trade for him. He's toxic and a locker room cancer. Multiple stories now spanning Pittsburgh AND Dallas of his constant late for meetings, not doing what is required. Yeah, fuck that.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

So Styles it is.. I don't know. My thing is where are they going to put him? He almost seems like a guy that for the NFL that doesn't seem to have a position. OLB in a 3-4?

The positive is you have a premium athlete that is big and can cover some ground. Cover some TE's which is something we haven't had since Monte Coleman.

Gotta say though we now have some athletes on the defense.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

[quote=GridIron26;1380399]What's wrong with Styles?[/quote]

I think you misunderstood. I saw a couple of articles/videos suggesting Styles was overhyped, not that I had a real opinion (have only seen limited film). I was just supposing that if he wasn't available/the pick, and many mocks had him gone before 7, I'd like to see Downs, Delane or Tate picked.

They were hot on Styles, so feels like a good pick. Hope we don't get buyers regret with Downs in the division. Surprised he slipped outside (just) the top 10.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

[quote=skinsnut;1380360]Adjusted board:

Skinsnut board for Commanders: (Imo)

1. Bailey edge, not likely available 10% available
2. Reese edge, not likely available 20% available
3.(4) Love RB, not likely available 25% available
4.(5) Styles LB, possible, ideal 50% available
5.(7) Delane CB, most likely, very good 60% available
6.(3) Downs safety, likely available 80% available
7.(6) Bain DL, likely available, not scheme fit 70% available
8. Tate WR, meh 2nd wr 70% available

I think we're gonna get Delane[/quote]

I was wrong, mainly because we got lucky someone drafted Delane over Styles.
We got lucky here with Styles dropping to us as he is ideal for us, although Delane could heen our top pick if Styles was gone.
This was MY draft for Washington, Adam Peters said he thought the floor for Tate was 9, meaning, they were Not going to take him, so that seems to fit.
I would not be surprised if this list matches the Skins board.
We may never know, but I sure am happy our top pick if what was realistic occured and we got Styles.

The key here is our front 7 is now complete, this means the middle of the field and run defense, that forces 3rd downs, remember those?

Keim implied that Styles is likely to be a MLB, so he will be our defense QB.

And with Luvu, Chenal and maybe even MaGee all able to swap positions to a degree (large degree with Chenal) I don't think beyond the depth chart these players are going to be pegged into a specific slot. If as expected we go 3-4, that's a lot of flexibility between downs. Potentially on any down, any 1 or 2 of those LB's can be set free to attack, with the other 2 holding the middle up nicely. Certainly going to be interesting.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

oops double post

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

I wouldn't be surprised if Luvu is released after the draft.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1380514]I wouldn't be surprised if Luvu is released after the draft.[/quote]

No Reason to do that until Styles proves otherwise Luvu is the best we have at LB.

Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

I can see Luvu having a resurgence under the new D staff, and with moving to a 3-4 (for what formation means these days), I think we'll need him, at least short term. If he proves surplus in camp or early season, isn't he trade material? Why release him?
