The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off on April 23 and concludes on April 25. The last time Pittsburgh hosted the draft was in December of 1947. (The same year I was drafted onto this mortal coil, but I don’t remember a thing about this draft? But neither does Mel Kiper.) The Pitt Hotel was the site for the 1947 draft. The ...

Thank you, Charles, for another terrific editing job.

If all eligible Ducks had declared for the draft, Oregon would have a shot at equaling or surpassing 22 Georgia players drafted in 2022.

Jon...great article, and as always--great research. A B1G Draft indeed!

Pre-Draft laughs.

Caleb Downs was an All-SEC as a freshman playing safety for Nick Saban at Alabama. He transferred to Ohio State for the balance of his college career.

Sitting next to Nick during the pre-game draft show on ESPN was Ohio State coach Ryan Day.

Herbie asked Day how prepared Downs was when he transferred to Ohio State.

Day: He had talent, but he was a mess; it was like he'd never been coached up. We had to start all over.

Then, with a B1G smile on his face, Day leaned over and gave Nick a faux shoulder punch.

I Love This Game! 🤪

Gotta hand it to Bucknut, 4 picks in the first 11 taken. Makes Indiana's 2026 championship all the more impressive. And a grudging nod to Mariø for what Miami did to them in the quarters.

Sadiq just came off the board at #16. Unfortunately it was to the Jets.

No.

Thieneman to duh Bears... #25

Sports Illustrated breaks down the 1st round. The Big 10 had ten players picked, the SEC seven, eight fewer than selected in the 2025 first round.

The ACC, with 8 picks, if you add on Notre Dame's two picks, and the B12 with six players chosen, showed up. As the article notes, the B1G and the SEC did not dominate the 1st round as they have in recent drafts.

Day 2 - 7 PM/ 4 PM - ABC, ESPN

Experts, right? UCF is a member of the B12, not the American Conference. 🤬

Make no miss-state, on the way out the door to the Leif Ericson, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand II, and Isabella, New World Pac-8 + Gonzo 🤪, Mountain West, San Diego State was the only G6 conference to have a player chosen in the first round.

The New World wannabes are amending their lawsuit against the Westies, arguing that the 1st round prize is theirs to claim. 😁

Safety first! Da Bears Pick of Dillon was Thrillin.' However, Sadiq to the Jets makes me glad about his selection, but sad over his pick by a team that should be known as the New Jersey DC-3s.

Rounds 2 and 3 are a wrap. Four compensation picks for a total of 100 players drafted through the 3rd round.

Yahoo has a detailed summary through 3 rounds by conference and school - SEC 37/ Big Ten 29 - 66% of the picks from the Power 2

As expected, the SEC has taken the lead and will finish in the lead.

Through 3 rounds, these schools outside of the Power 2 are showing themselves of being Super Conference worthy - Miami 6, Clemson 5, Texas Tech 5, Notre Dame 4

Top 4 schools - Ohio State 8, Texas A&M 7, Georgia, and Miami 6

3 picks to date have OBD tied for the 5th most picks

Pro Football Focus rated Pregnon above an 85 in pass block grade (88.1) and run block grade (85.8), the only guard in the NCAA to get those numbers last season. Pregnon refined his close-quarters contact and expertise in the interior.
