I'll say the Seahawks stay at 32. Mike Macdonald lost some depth at edge rusher. A lot of solid players at that position who could be available then, like Malachi Lawrence #MMQB

The smart move, if possible, would be to trade back a few times and get somewhere around 6-7 total picks. Seattle is obviously one of the league's best teams, but the Seahawks lost a lot in free agency as well

I wouldn't have a choice. My Mexican family would hate me for a month or two if I ditched them on my big day. We all gotta be together ... at home 😅

Teams that have been bad organizations for a long time. The Browns come to mind. The Jets have been picking high for years. Maybe they get it right in 2026.

In theory, teams with really high picks should nail them. But there's a reason they're picking early. Bad process, poor decision-making, etc.

One more than yesterday because @mattverderame.bsky.social just joined. Give him a follow! #MMQB

If I'm the Jets, I'm using this year to bolster the roster before getting my QB in 2027.

Most people around the league think next year is a great draft for QBs. Plus, the Jets have three 1sts, giving them more ammo than anybody. As for AG, I think NYJ has to improve, but 6-7 wins and he's solid.

Hi, Jessica. It has to be Oline. C.J. Stroud took a lot of heat for his playoff performances, but he played behind a poor Oline and made it work most of the season. Max Iheanachor could be an option. I had him going to Houston in my mock #MMQB

Hey Mark! I think the Cowboys are more likely to trade up than down. Jerry is typically aggressive and Dallas might be able to get someone like Styles if its willing to get into the top six picks or so

I just finished my mock and I have 5 first round trades not counting whatever happens after the fact with AJ Brown. I think some teams (Chiefs; Rams) could move up knowing/hoping they won’t be that high again.

To me—and this is just my personal take—the late speculation is an invitation to trade up. I think the Jets have had their guy but are going through the typical draft smokescreen process.

I don’t have a crazy QB prediction but I have a totally wild non QB player trade going live on tomorrow’s MMQB. Let’s just say Jeremiyah Love is involved.

I loved Mendoza's answer to @richeisenshow.bsky.social on this—he basically made it sound like draft night was going to be his thank you to everyone who made it possible. I'd probably want to go, but what he said made me think about it, Mitch.

Well, it'll have to start with John Spytek and Klint Kubiak driving that—and putting the right people around Mendoza. But I actually think Mendoza's experience helping to change the entire dynamic of Indiana football is really valuable coming into the NFL. Football-wise, I like Goff as a comp.

For sure. There’s still like 10 really good players in this draft and the Jets get one of them regardless.

No, I think they move back. And I think it's the right thing to do. Between Darnold, Cross, JSN, Witherspoon, Emmanwori, Murphy, Williams ... they have their core. What they need to do is maintain their depth and balance. And you do that by giving yourself more swings.

That’s hard to say with this class in particular because there are so few first round grades on players. So while there may be first round picks by name, we gotta be quick not to label them busts because in another draft, they’re second round picks

Hey Matt! I’d urge you to check out the latest edition of the MMQB pod. We have a great discussion about that there. But in short, I’d say Philly, the Rams and the Cowboys

Let’s gooo!!

We're doing an AMA here—so leave all questions in this link, I'll quote tweet them, and answer between 4 and 4:30 p.m. ET today.

Albert Breer’s 2026 NFL Draft Needs for Every Team Reveal a Compelling Theme An annual exercise in which we survey the league to see which positions line up with which teams. Plus, a detailed look at how the first round could play out.

Several teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft are open to trading out of their slots to accumulate more volume for 2027.

@albert-breer.bsky.social fleshes out the reasons and more in his annual draft needs column:

The 2027 NFL Draft’s Quarterback Class Is No Sure Thing Lots of teams are building up capital and banking on finding a star next April. But it doesn’t always play out that way.

Albert Breer’s Takeaways: How the Dexter Lawrence II Trade Came Together Examining the timeline as the Giants and Bengals worked out a deal. Plus, a prospect whose stock is tumbling, intriguing positions and more.

The Giants’ trade of Dexter Lawrence II wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment deal. @albert-breer.bsky.social explains the whole timeline of how it came together, plus much more, in his takeaways: www.si.com/nfl/dexter-l...

Trading Dexter Lawrence II Didn’t Make Sense—but the Outcome Is Brilliant for All Sides The Giants dealt the star defensive tackle to the Bengals on Saturday and every party involved has an argument for coming out on top.

The Pressure is Really on C.J. Stroud Now The Texans’ quarterback watched his salary get dwarfed by a teammate in his own draft class. A day worth celebrating in Houston has also shifted a spotlight.
