2026 Live Draft Thread As It Happens

[Mr.TaterSalad]

One edge gone in TJ Parker from Clemson. 

[Motown Bombers]

"When first approached by owner William Clay Ford Sr. about the job, Millen told him 'Mr. Ford, I really appreciate this, but I'm not qualified.' Ford responded 'You're smart. You'll figure it out.'"

Good Christen Miller is gone.

Detroit moved up OTC

its not.

[Stanley70]

Seems like he would have been there at 50.

Brad Holmes’ infatuation with underwhelming defensive linemen will be studied by historians one day.

[buddha]

i do not get it.

but i like derrick moore so whoo hoo!  go blue!

[MichiganCardinal]

The trade itself was whatever, I’m not upset about turning the Montgomery 4th into an 8-spot jump.

But I’d probably have preferred an extra 3rd at the bottom, and Moore probably would have been there anyway.

[buddha]

moore before zion or gabe jacas.

dont get it.

[Motown Bombers]

 

[Hongbit]

I don’t get the trade up for that player.  Nobody else was taking him that early above the over available DE.

Zion Young got arrested for a DUI a few months ago.

Such a dumb defensive philosophy to value edge setting run defense over pass rush skills.  This is a QB league and getting pressure on him is essential to a good defense.

It should be obvious by now that when Brad gets fixated on a player he goes and gets him with no regard for where players are projected.

He had 10 sacks and a 17.5% pressured rate. He kind of seems like Blake Miller. A high floor and consistent player. 

[Motown Bombers]

I've seen some say he was a fringe 2nd round pick. We really don't know if he would have been around or not. A lot of people said that about Gibbs and the Jets GM admitted he would have taken Gibbs at 15. 

[buddha]

i think moore was held back by michigan's stupid defensive philosophy.

[GalagaGuy]

I just realized that Zion Young was the dude in the Michigan vs Michigan State tunnel fight that ended up getting charged with assault.   Yeah, put him on the team with Hutch.....lol!

Moore is an underwhelming choice when you consider who was on the board. But I don't hate the pick. He still managed double digit sacks last season.
