2026 NFL Draft

Questions:

Is it possible that our OL is set for this season and that we don't draft any OL with our first 4 picks?

Is it possible that we use a top-4 pick on a CB and then add him to our starting 5 DB'S?

Is Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez the best LB in this draft? Would you use a top-4 pick on him?

Would you be ok using our pick at #59 to grab Oscar Delp? I think I am. I think he could be a much needed weapon for CJ.

 

1 Kayden McDonald DT
Probable instant starter and best DT in the draft assuming that Caleb Banks is damaged goods. Immediate impact for Houston's DL.

2 Emmanuel Pregnon G
Can we convert him to center?

2 Oscar Delp TE
Possibly most dangerous receiving threat outside of Kenyon Sadiq. A matchup problem for opposing LB and an instant and dynamic weapon for CJ.

3 Jake Golday LB
Big, strong, physical, LB. Only concern are his coverage skills but he would provide a massive upgrade to our LB room.

4 Will Lee CB
Solid corner. Find a spot for him in our starting-5 DB's and gives us depth at corner in case Stingley or Lassiter are out.

5 Zane Durant DT
A great value pick and a young and quality depth piece and potential starter.

5 Jeff Caldwell WR
6'5 and ran a 4.3 40. He gives us a deep ball threat and could be a great red zone weapon with his height. He might be a steal in the 5th.

7 Pat Coogan C
Hard to pass on Coogan here. He too might be a steal here.

Note:
I usually mock TE Will Kacmarek in the 7th because he's 6'6, 260, pounds of raging muscle who is actually a damn good run and pass blocker and a better receiver than most realize. He's not a project. He can start on Day 1 and be a force on short-yardage situations.
