2026 Draft Watch

I wonder whether Mendoza is really great. He was ordinary until this season. He's a great fit for the system at Indiana. RPOs, etc etc.

Will he be a great fit for his NFL team? Only if his NFL team is smart enough to run a system for which he fits. I dont think he has the super elite physical tools that #1 should have.

I would take him. But I would be at least as happy with Moore. And if we have to take the best player available at #3, lets do it.

Above all, must not win Sunday.
He was far from ordinary at Cal. He didn't have the supporting cast but he was excellent and showed he has exceptional toughness. He took some hits, that would have knocked most QBs out of the game,if not multiple games and got right up. Cals o line ranking dropped to 128 in the nation, they had no run game and they improved in every passing metric. Mendoza still managed over 3000 yards and over 68 % passing completion. Indy runs a pro style offense so teams are not going to have to design a system to fit him. He has good arm strength, a quick release, excellent awareness, can move in the pocket, reads the D extremely well, is extremely tough and can run when necessary. Has prototypical size, with large hands. Cal was irrelevant last year and Mendoza was not a draft prospect so he under the radar but if you watch the Cal tape, you will see Mendoza was every bit as good as this season,with no talent around him.

I think the Duck D is pretty good too.
They sure look it today.........
I’m with you on this. Don’t know if he can take the pounding of the NFL but the kid can play some damn football!
He can play.....and run. He's a duel threat QB. But, I think he will struggle at the NFL level. His height, and I know you are going to bring up short QBs that did play well, is going to be a real handicap. At the NFL level he'll get a lot of passes batted down or deflected. It's going to be tough for him to see over his own linemen, let alone defensive linemen, making it difficult for him to see his receivers down field which makes chunk plays difficult and limits him to mostly play action and screens. Wilson's skill set would be handicapped as would any other speedy long ball threat receivers. I also noticed that defenders were often reading his eyes. NFL defenders excel at beating QBs that do that. We could probably get him late in the 2nd or early in the third round just for these reasons but why would we ?

I agree with a lot of what you're saying.
I want to see how these guys sustain their level of play over the course of this playoff.
While He does have some SHORT comings let's see his next game and how it goes for ALL of the QBs. Cream rises to the top.

If anyone is watching the Buccs/ Panthers game, apparently we are rooting for the Buccs because it gives the best chance of the Colts #1 pick dropping.

Trinidad Chambliss is the guy I'm going to be watching.
He has thrown his hat into the ring imo.
Let's see if He can keep it up.
If I saw Woody coming towards me with open arms I would climb into the ring and throw my hat back out.

Just as if I was Dante Moore I would remember the promise I made to Mamma to finish my degree.

If you are drafted by the Jets and return to college instead they still own your rights in perpetuity, don't they? But I wonder how a court action by the player for 'restraint of trade' would go.

Don't look now but the Faiders are winning. Won't affect the first round but it could elevate our second round pick.

The only good thing that happened to day is the Jets moved to the #2 pic and we avoided the nightmare of trading all our picks to move up. Raiders aren't trading the #1 pick so if the Jets think Dante Moore is worth the #2 pick then they won't have to trade up. I personally take the BPA or trade down and get another pick or two.

So both the Giants and Raiders win today, plus the Jets get destroyed and it doesn’t even matter. The Jets still don’t get the #1 draft pick. The Jets luck just can’t get any worse! No matter what they do or how they do it, it’s always some shit!

I know, I know, I’m guessing the strength of schedule factors into this and whatever other BS factors the NFL has instituted but damn! Plus, let’s not forget that fact that the Jets won 3 games and they had no business winning at least 1 or 2 of them.

Jets won't get Mendoza, but will get a player of need for sure. They will be terrible next year and will probably get their QB next year. I don't think Moore is ready to play or a good fit for NY.

As was said in another thread Moore is staying in school and will not be available to draft.
So the Jets are not getting a QB at 2 in 2026.
Lol.
Dog-Azz Jets
Smh.

I know, I know. There are exceptions and Mahomes is one of them but there are very few and none of this years QB draft prospects have anywhere near the skill set of Mahomes.

Mahomes is 6 2 225
Chambliss is 5 11 195 at best. Regardless of what Old Miss list him at.
There is zero similarities between the 2. No in size or ability.
Chambliss is Kyler Murray 2.0 at best.
He has been inconsistent for 5 years, can't ignore that and draft him off one game
