2026 NFL draft: Worst ever?

[djthegreat88]

This has to be the weakest draft class I can remember. No elite prospects at QB, Pass rusher, Tackle, or CB. Not much a difference between picks 2-40. Only truly elite prospects are Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love but RB and Safety aren’t premium positions

Mendoza isn't elite??

Mendoza isn't elite??

Absolutely not. Game manager at next level. Best case scenario he’s a Jared Goff or Cousin caliber QB which isn’t bad

Whoever the Packers draft at CB will be better than Keisean Nixon

Not a bad time to not have a 1st rounder. Micah Parsons on one leg > whoever Gutekunst would pick at 20

neither Goff nor Cousins are "game managers"

Goff is definitely a game manager put into positions to do more than he should and very dependent upon how robust his surroundings are.

Did you watch either in college? Mendoza is not a game manager. No way yoi really watch college saying that. I watched cousins in college in 2010 with russ Wilson and this Mendoza kid blows them out of the water. He's probably the best prospect I've seen since Burrow. Kid is going to be the truth on the next level. What have you seen that even fukking suggests he's a game manager. Against Oregon and Bama he made ALL of the throws a pro qb should make.

I'd need to hear about what teams are saying about 1st round grades. I remember 2023 was a year where scouts, media, etc all were saying was a bad draft outside of the top 10.
