I really want a QB trade up, but if that's not in the cards (pun intended), Fano would be my pick.

Hey, I'll demure to you on this one. You are deep into the prospects in the draft and I'm not. Let's say the top OT.

Funny, I never took you as the shy type.

Ha! My first malapropism in ages. Almost as shameful as the one time in my life I wrote the wrong they're/their/there in a manuscript to be critiqued

Jordyn Tyson NFL mock draft sees Arizona State WR picked by Cardinals

Where will Arizona State football's Jordyn Tyson be picked in 2026 NFL Draft? One projection has him going No. 2. Another has him staying in Arizona.

Watch him in the college playoffs if you can. His build and style are very similar to Wirfs and Sewell even if he is not as good. Fano is just really lean which I worry about.

Not much difference between these two.

This is not a mock draft. This is a Big Board which ranks ability not who will choose which player. QB are often not the top of ability boards. Teams build these boards but they are different because they are typically ranked based on players who they want. Some show all players with indicators of whom they like for their team. I’ve mentioned this before. The notations are impacted by need. The ranking may not be.

I've been fully on the Fano bandwagon and still am. Until the Cards fix their OL it doesn't matter who the next QB is. Draft Fano to be the RT and the Cardinals have a potentiel elite pair of bookends to protect whoever is the QBOTF.

Then grab a couple of veteran guards in FA who are much easier to come by. Draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round of the 2026 draft and see if you get lucky. If not you get your new coach in 2027 and let him pick his QBOTF in a stronger 2027 QB draft class.

if we spent our 2nd and 3rd round picks on DBs again, I might need a 2 day break from the board.

Instead of DB's, it'll be RB's

 

[Mulli]

Instead of DB's, it'll be RB's

Or tiny off ball linebackers

That's where I am too. The OL is horrible we have to get a RT, guards and a OL coach.

Fano is 2 years older and 30 pounds lighter….he is my second favorite pick for us if we don’t go quarterback….Francis maigula is my guy ….easily….nasty football player….people mover …leader…safe pick

I love Jordan. I also recognize this would be an epic terrible selection.

Hard to justify a WR when the QB has no time to throw
