It's finally here! I worked with 34 analysts to break down some of their favorite prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. Check out the 41 write-ups covering 35+ players. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/get-to-know-…

In 2025, 11 personnel was used on 57% of ALL plays. Which teams were most effective in the other 43%? 1. Colts 2. Rams 3. Bills 4. Eagles 5. Patriots Only five teams had a leading secondary personnel that was not 12 personnel: 13 (LA), 21 (LAC, MIA, SF), 22 (BUF). The Bengals were much worse in EPA/play excluding 11 personnel. Meanwhile, teams like the Dolphins and Colts were much better. Ultimately, 11 personnel is still 👑. Just slightly less than before.

Waited almost five months on pre-order and through a shipping delay, and of course @Fanatics and @UPS combine to send a badly bent print. All you had to do was not bend the package, but there's a very clear crease.

As rookies begin their battle for roster spots, here’s how often draft picks have made the team that selected them over the past five seasons: 3rd round: 100% 4th: 99.4% 5th: 94.4% 6th: 81.4% 7th: 70.8% The roster bubble really begins in Round 6.

2026 OL class discussion @Sam_Teets33 @Ostroski_BigO @WeeklyHuddle

Creed = OC1 in his own tier. Feels like there's even further he can climb if weaponized more in the run game.

@pjfoster1313 @nfldraftfanatc @Jack_Brentnall Redshirt juniors absolutely can and should be graded if there’s thought that they have NFL futures

@Sam_Teets33 @nfldraftfanatc @Jack_Brentnall Thompson is a r-junior so he's a 2028 guy, he doesn't need a grade yet Clev Lubin had the same pressure rate last season as David Bailey. He should already be in the NFL

Louisville draft prospects @Sam_Teets33 who graded highest for you out of this group? @Jack_Brentnall who is your top prospect in this group? #DraftProfessor800

@pjfoster1313 @nfldraftfanatc @Jack_Brentnall I have graded 4 Louisville edge rushers this offseason. Two have UDFA grades

@nfldraftfanatc @Sam_Teets33 @Jack_Brentnall Louisville also added a 3rd edge Tyler Thompson from UNC who had 7 sacks last season, they are going to have the best pass rush in the entire country Caleb is a top 15 overall player, dynamite athlete whose motor runs hot and never stops

@Jack_Brentnall @nfldraftfanatc Four of them are in my top 100

@nfldraftfanatc @Sam_Teets33 Still have quite a few of them left to watch but as things stand it is Clev Lubin

@jparquette11 There's not meant to be any

@Sam_Teets33 No sound

Re-circulating Anthony Donkoh propaganda from last summer. I like him more at guard than tackle as an NFL Draft prospect, but he'll have the benefit of showing off his power against edge rushers this season.

Final photo dump from last week's trip.

Some additional photos from the trip.

High School football is crazy because you have a geometry test 3rd period and later that night you try to tackle Earl Campbell 😂

Would highly recommend a job in sports. You get to do some fun things. I spent the last week attending the Road to LA28 and Beyond workshop hosted by the USOPC and the World Press Briefing, held by LA28. We toured several venues that will host events in the 2028 Olympics.

#Panthers promising young LB Nic Scourton, who went down in practice with a knee injury that left him in tears, suffered a torn ACL, sources told me and @CameronWolfe. He’s done for the season.

@NoFlagsFilm You think he sticks at OT or would you prefer to experiment with him inside?

Assuming he's healthy, I expect Jacarrius Peak to be a first round pick. One of the best athletes in this OL class PBLK/RBLK

@Uber driver was confirmed for a ride to the airport for about a week, but he dropped the scheduled ride within 40 minutes of the pickup time. I got no notification that the driver did this. What the hell?

Quarterbacks in the #NFLDraft @Sam_Teets33 @Jack_Brentnall x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Minnesota guard Greg Johnson is my IOL1. Full season starting at LG and C. 6'6" but plays with great leverage RBLK/PBLK

@NoFlagsFilm Love Greg Johnson. He was No. 27 on my board when he decided to return to school last cycle. Was in the same tier as Vega Ioane. Now my IOL1 and third-highest graded OL prospect overall for 2027.
