If you come across an interesting prospect, post it here
We are starting to get a peak under the hood on some of these guys with the start of the predraft cycle.
From the East West Shrine Game
One of the top interior guys in this class. Team captain and highly graded on PFF

Couple of WRs that pop up in the middle rounds of mocks

Rare size-speed combo. Dude might jump 40+ and run 4.3s at Combine. Time to get vertical

Players i like in the mid to later rounds.
Omar Cooper Wr Indiana = solid size, very good athlete, good hands, and can run. I believe his ceiling is hire than his teammate in Sarratt.
Michael Taffe = highly intelligent safety. Decent athlete and is jjsy always around the ball.
Daylen Everett = corner from Georgia. Big and insanely fast and physical corner.
Eli Stowers = tight end Vandy. Elite athlete and just a very productive wr.
Like you mentioned Corleone above. Keenan is another one along with Zavian Harris. Good run stuffing nose tackles.
Josiah Trotter = Missouri linebacker. Size and speed and just a monster against the run. Has a lot of comparisons to Demario Davis. Father is Jeremiah Trotter.

I think Cooper could jump up draft boards if he performs well at the combine. He looks the part on the field
RE: Stowers
Saw this note the other day
YPRR = yards per route run

We’re basically getting this again in 2026:
- Kenyon Sadiq (1.72 career YPRR)
- Eli Stowers (2.34 career YPRR)
- Michael Trigg (1.87 career YPRR)
Hope you’re ready for another awesome TE Class.
————
The 2025 TE Class has 3 TE’s who averaged 1.75+ YPRR for their career projected to get drafted in the first 3 rounds.
? Tyler Warren
? Colston Loveland
? Harold Fannin Jr.
—————
The only other TE Class in the last 5 years to produce 3+ TE’s with 1.75+ career YPRR in the first 3 rounds was 2023 (Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid, Michael Mayer, & Tucker Kraft).

I was really hoping the other Oregon TE would come out. He was Shough's teammate at Louisville and looked good in the playoffs.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Ranked top 10 nationally (PFF) in run and pass blocking at OT. Expected to be an interior guy at the next level given the arm length.

Thanks. Those are interesting prospects. Who you have us taking in the first?
Posted on 1/23/26 at 5:01 pm to Chrome
Depends who is there obviously
Hoping for David Bailey or Arvell Reese

I doubt we will get a second shot for Ar'maj Reed-Adams unless we take him in the first, but Duke Brian Parker might be there in the second. I like the flexibility he has at other OL positions.

DJ top 150 is the first step into building a draft board.
Nice, even WR year but not very top heavy. Saints need to hammer top 3-4 rds.

Really like these two as well. As Gyno said, I believe Cooper will shoot up draft boards once the draft process really starts. Really like him

That’s a pretty damn good comp…..hopefully he’s smarter than Rice though
Seriously tho, that’s why I like Cooper…..he’s good for YAC.
I also like Zachariah Branch from Georgia, he’s only 5’10 but he’s got strong hands……and he’s a YAC monster! We need that DESPERATELY on this offense

I feel like I'm asking for too much when I ask for a 6'0 (without shoes), 200lb dude as a #1 WR. I get that being a good receiver is one of the things we need, but we are HURTING since CGM's departure in the run blocking game. He was a BULLY.

Reed adams' footwork is really nice. So smooth for someone so big. Also has the power to hold up.

I've always loved taffe. What you wrote about him is true.
Will be interesting to see where he gets drafted.

Was high on Fannin last yr. Wanted the saints to grab him. Ben Johnson came out looking smart after people questioned him taking Loveland at pick 10.
Michael Trigg has been around forever. I remember lsu recruiting him out of high school.
The only te you can really question out of the ones above is Michael Mayer.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Was hoping Lee Hunter would be in play in RD2. Big NT
quote:
#TexasTech DT/NT Lee Hunter (6'4 330, 23 Y/O) is absolutely DOMINATING at the Senior Bowl currently. Let's take a look at what he did in the fall.
- Incredible size
- 3 years of good production
- Good against the run and pass
- Good first step for his size
- 2.9% missed tackle rate against the run
- 10.6% PRWR (3rd in the country for DT)
- Really good lateral quickness makes zone runs ineffective towards his side
- Plays with VIOLENT hands and has great anchoring strength, stifling runs at the point of attack
- 17.5% true pass rush set win-rate (3rd in the country for DT)
- 11.9% run-stop rate. (Second in the entire country)
*Note* - Rankings are only for DT's with equal or more snaps
??
- Will be 24 years old by the time of his first NFL snap
- Pass rush arsenal still needs work
- Plays with inconsistent pad level and has a stiff lower half
- Motor is inconsistent. There are too many plays where it looks like he isn't trying if the ball isn't going his way. Will need better conditioning at the next level.
Currently playing his way into the first round of the draft. Below are his highlights in the CFBP against Oregon.

TJ Parker turned heads today
Daniel Jeremiah has him at #38 in his first Top 50 release today
Daniel Jeremiah has him at #38 in his first Top 50 release today
quote:
Parker is an intriguing edge rusher with the versatility to slide inside. He had a monster 2024 campaign (11 sacks) but saw his production drop off this past season (five sacks). He is a rugged pass rusher with a powerful shake/bull move coming off the edge. He can jolt blockers with his hands before separating and closing the distance with the quarterback. He doesn’t have an elite burst when rushing outside, but his quickness plays better when he rushes inside. Against the run, he can generate knock-back power at the point of attack and he’s adept at keeping opponents’ hands off his frame. Overall, Parker wasn’t quite as impactful in 2025, which ultimately could lead to a real value selection for his drafting team.
