>The NFL Draft has arrived. No more conjecture or hypothetical. Five months of preparations and the biggest job interview in the world will now become real.

Viewers have become accustomed to certain similarities. The best quarterbacks, edge rushers, offensive linemen and cornerbacks are towards the top, while running backs, safeties and linebackers are less prioritized at the top. In 2026, they throw out almost all the positional tendencies and trends.

Wide Receiver is one of the strengths of this draft. There are no Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson in this draft. However, there could be quite a few Puka Nakua or JSN.

While this draft lacks some of the bigger, can't miss evaluations, there are starters to be had in this draft. It will come down to flavors. What is your team looking for? There are deep threats, dangerous slot receivers as well as possession receivers throughout this draft.
