2026 NFL Draft thread - Day 3 discussion - Rounds 4, 5, 6 and 7

Speaking of IU players, I'd like to see us spend one of our 7th rounders on Stephen Daley. He won't see the field until late in the season at the earliest or more likely '27, but he was an a stud in his only season in the B1G.

Would also like to see us pick Aiden Fischer at some point today.

Farmer is a good pick. I like it.

Seems like we have more pressing needs than guard.

I’m all for Oline depth I love this pick

Needed a backup IOL desperately. Hopefully Bryce Lance gets to 135.

I think the Colts have adjusted their value grades a little for OL prospects because of the 2021 draft...that was the draft after Castonzo retired. Pretty sure they were planning to draft a OT to replace him, but other teams kept snagging players before they reached the spot where the Colts graded them. Ever since, it seems the Colts are a little more aggressive with OL prospects

Yes we did. Wouldn't be surprised to see us add an OC unless Farmer can play there since we have pretty much nothing backing up Bortolini. Maybe OT as well since we really only have Freeland for depth who's coming off a broken leg and had regressed from his rookie year.

Also, was bummed to see Sarratt go 2 picks after we took Farmer.

[Dam8610]

Boettcher is okay, but I would've preferred Kyle Louis.

[Hoopsdoc]

Boetcher is a guy I really like. Tough, hard nosed, and plays with passion.

[Dam8610]

Meanwhile we still need a WR, hope Bryce Lance makes it to 156.
