Mock draft

All righty, that was a little bit of a longer one today, but we'll be back throughout the day for more, continuing to look over this game.

And I'll tell you right now, it's Mock Draft Monday.

We're going to get a Mock Draft kind of sort of content a little bit later today as well.

So keep an eye out for that.

If you, your parent or spouse served in the military, you could join our family.

In a stunning upset, Robert Walsh does not want to do Mock Draft Monday.

Are you well? Are you sickly back there? What's wrong?

The mock drafts were just kind of lame.

I feel like we can wait.

If we really want to do Mock Draft Monday, I can read you, but it wasn't a change of pace.

I'll wait until tomorrow when maybe Jordan Reed will knock another one out.

We can get some better context about how people are feeling about these than just outsourcing to whoever's writing AI mock drafts for individual athletes.

Oh, no.

And as always, I'm your host, CJ Freer.

Today's Thursday show will primarily focus on the every week Thursday segments, starting with the Sorsby line segment, talking about quarterbacks for the 2027 class, including breaking down performances from CJ Carr and Darian Mensah, as well as going into a little bit of detail into how Arch Manning and Julian Sayen are moving around the rankings right now after that did this on a show towards week one this year to discuss how accurate the mock drafts might be for this show comparing to the mock drafts we did last year and if you remember back in that week one show i mentioned at a certain point in the season the mock drafts got a lot more accurate and we have actually pretty much arrived at that point The mock draft after week seven last year was about as accurate as it got through the rest of the process.

Not saying it was perfect, but the things that I didn't have at that point, I didn't really have after week 11 or 13 as well.

So we're going to talk about where I was this time last year with my 2026 mock drafts.

And it's not going to be perfect in terms of like a one-to-one or anything, but talk about just what we might be able to guess about what this class is.

is going to look like at this point in the season and finally like always on Thursday we will close it out primarily talking about wide receiver production this week in the NFL for the 2026 rookies because frankly it was a very good week and an encouraging week for the 2026 wide receivers with a few key exceptions but not a whole lot else from the other positions last week and so I'll cover all that in my 2026 rookie production segment in the end notes at the end of the show.

Darian Mensah, again, according to PFF, so take it for whatever you want to, has more turnover worthy plays than big time throws.

So not going to talk as much about Arch Manning or Julian Sane here.

We're going to look at what's happening on those particular situations.

And then finally, I'm super excited because we've got a mock draft at the end of today's show.

We're going to be talking about the first three rounds.

And guess what? Currently, if the draft was right now, the Chargers would be taking Jeremiah Smith with the 101, is what it looks like on paper.

Like college football stuff, if we didn't have a defense that was not an embarrassment like our offense.

So I'm giving O'Leary an A. What's your grade for him? Now, let's get into...

Everybody loves a mock draft.

Everybody loves it.

All right.

Well, we're not talking about mock drafts.

I can't stand those.

No, but I like the fact that you're grinding on it already.
