Kwon Scouting

My official #NFLDraft Big Board as well as positional rankings/writeups for all 11 positions can be found for free with the link below! This is by far the most in-depth I've gotten to go into a draft class in a long while and I couldn't be more excited for tonight! #gid=234718519" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Been chipping away at my final draft grades. Hope to have them finished this week so I can post one a day through the next month or so. Wanted to make sure I watched every drafted player so I am able to talk in depth about these guys!

@LedyardNFLDraft @aonbc1 Who starts at X then?

@aonbc1 I think he and Tez rotate in situationally at like 10 snaps early on

#Bucs fans, I wrote about new Georgia State WR Ted Hurst, the strengths and weaknesses of his game and how the Bucs can use him as a rookie Film clips included! jonledyard.substack.com/p/2026-nfl-dra…

@JoeA_NFL But they got a 10th slot WR!

The Bills did exactly what they always do: ignore WR, ignore pass rush, and fixate on getting serviceable players at all the least valuable positions. TJ Parker is a good player, but he is similar to Greg Rousseau and Brad Chubb and Landon Jackson in that he is not a GREAT rusher and he lacks pass rush ability. Yet another powerful DE that won't get sacks.

Long day of flying today, so I'm gonna grade every team's draft. 2026 NFL Draft Grade Thread, in no particular order:

@BenjaminSolak I wasn’t as high on his coverage skills but he absolutely should have gone yesterday.

Putting McCoy aside bc of the injury, I cannot believe Keionte Scott did not find a home on Day 2. High impact blitzing DB who can make plays in zone coverage.

@BrettKollmann Yep 2.8 yards per carry 15.7 per pass

You'll be lucky to average three yards per carry against the Bucs this year

First player I have no idea who he is 2026 edition: Karon Prunty, CB, Wake Forest 5th round 171 overall.

@49ersDepression Can’t speak as much for the other two but Height is certainly not a D-

In case you’re wondering how the 49ers draft is going

My pro comp was Curtis Samuel, fun landing spot for him.

Bucs land my DB6 in Keionte Scott in the 4th. Not the best coverage player but a great run defender and blitzer out of the nickel spot. Like this pick quite a bit, had a true third round grade for me.

@adamlevitan So do you think they drafted back to back slots in R1 and R2? Thats what it seems like to me and I honestly don’t understand those picks at all back to back.

Not sure I'd view Eli Stowers as Dallas Goedert's direct heir. They effectively play different positions. More of a sign the Eagles willing to go the specialized TE room route post-Goedert. Pair a blocker like Johnny Mundt with a pass-catching freak like Stowers.

The Bucs have drafted a "My Guy" of mine almost every year since I started scouting in 2019... 2019: Sean Murphy-Bunting 2020: Antoine Winfield 2022: Zyon McCollum 2023: YaYa Diaby/Cody Mauch/SirVocea/Jose Ramirez 2024: Tykee Smith/Jalen McMillan 2025: Ben Morrison/Jacob Parrish 2026: Ted Hurst Jason Licht sure isn't flawless but he is capable of finding quality talent in the later rounds.

Love Ted Hurst at 84 to the #GoBucs Badly needed some size and vertical stretching ability in the WR room and Hurst does exactly that. Ton of potential too. Brazzell going one pick earlier hurts a bit, but this is a great selection.

Drew Allar at 76 is a phenomenal pick for the Steelers! #NFLDraft

Bucs take LB Josiah Trotter from Missouri at 46. Not the biggest fan of this one. Question the fit in a Bowles defense big time with his lack of lateral movement skills. Extremely hard pill to swallow with Jacob Rodriguez going just two picks earlier.
