2026 NFL Draft

· 5 reaches
You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jets did exactly that with Logan Fano in the 211th overall pick.
However the rest shakes out, Thomas at that price is a win they earned. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah gives the group a proven body among the projects. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th overall pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
In slot 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. More want than need.
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. A need, and now a little less of one.
Gabe Jacas at No. 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Daylen Everette in pick No. 74 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They read the board right and Logan Jones was the payoff at No. 108. It fills a real need, too.
Mikail Kamara in the 111th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Treydan Stukes at the 112th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Max Llewellyn at slot 115, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Steal is underselling it; Sam Roush at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They jumped the gun on Drew Allar, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Chris McClellan in Round 5, Pick 14 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at slot 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cyrus Allen at pick 179. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J'Mari Taylor at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kendrick Law in the 210th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A real head-scratcher, Logan Fano in No. 211 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
TJ Hall at the 220th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Kaden Wetjen at Round 7, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They liked Miller Moss enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 242. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 253rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
