Draft Recap
2026 DraftBrad drafted like the consensus board was taped to the monitor — a league-best +16.4 of value per pick, and even the worst swing of the bunch (Dalton Kincaid at 75) barely counts as a reach. Jake wasn't far behind at +10.9, quietly building a roster nobody wants to draw in Week 1. The heist of the day: Jake sitting on their hands until pick 117 and still landing Jacory Croskey-Merritt, a top-81 player — that's a steal you frame and hang in the den. Brett, meanwhile, looked at Josh Jacobs — ranked 117th — and spent pick 29 on him anyway, roughly 88 spots early; conviction is admirable, this is also a choice. Brett brought up the rear at -12.7, dragged down by Josh Jacobs at 29 — a pick that ages beautifully only if the entire projection industry is wrong. Scott (-12.3) kept them company at the bottom. Grades are ink-still-wet and count for nothing, but the receipts are filed and dated.
