        <h4>Career Recap: </h4>



<p>
Chambliss played four seasons at Division II Ferris State and led the Bulldogs to a national championship before transferring to Ole Miss for his senior year. An injury pushed Chambliss onto the field, and he made the most of the opportunity, leading the Rebels deep into the college football playoffs, including an epic win over Georgia. In 2025, Chambliss completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions. Chambliss ran for 527 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. After the season, Chambliss successfully sued to get another year of eligbility and return to Ole Miss.

    <div class="SR-SeasonOutlook replace-break">
        <h4>2026 Season Outlook: </h4>

<p>
Chambliss will see a number of good opponents in 2026. There will be a ton of eyes on him on September 19th when the Rebels play LSU and former head coach Lane Kiffin. Chambliss will also see good opponents in games against Texas (Oct. 24), Georgia (Nov. 7), and Oklahoma (Nov. 14). 
</p>

    </div>




<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-3"></div>

<div class="SR-Prospect-Sum replace-break">
    <h4>Prospect Summary:</h4>

<p>
As a passer, Chambliss has a quality arm that can make all the throws in the NFL and has quality accuracy and ball placement. Chambliss can zip passes into tight windows and beat coverage with the location of his passes. Chambliss throws a very catchable ball and is capable of putting air under the ball to loft in touch passes. He has above-average accuracy and can throw guys open with his ball placement. Chambliss is excellent throwing on the run and can be lethal rolling out to throw downfield or take off running. Chambliss&#8217;s background in baseball can be seen in his throwing on the run and his quick whip arm action. 
</p>
<p>
Chambliss is an excellent athlete who can make big plays with his feet. With some backyard style of play and a history with baseball, Chambliss does have a lot of similarities to a young Russell Wilson. Like a young Wilson, Chambliss can adlib and make something out of nothing. Chambliss is a dynamic runner who can escape sacks, juke defenders, and has speed to rip off yards in chunks when he takes off downfield. He has excellent escapability with quick-twitch athleticism, and defenders have a hard time getting a hold of him. Chambliss is dangerous on designed runs with good vision and running instincts. 
</p>
<p>
Like all college players, Chambliss has areas for improvement in the NFL. He needs to improve his field vision and get faster at working through his progressions. His scheme also had him throwing to his first read often, so he could use development with reading coverage. Chambliss also could stand to get the ball out faster on throws deep downfield. Chambliss also has physical limitations for the pro level, as he is short and light for the pro game. His height could be a problem throughout his NFL career. Some quarterbacks can overcome being short, while others are plagued by limitations from restricted vision because of their height. If Chambliss loses mobility as he ages, the height issue could become a bigger problem. Chambliss is also coming from a very simple college offense. He is going to have a learning curve to master a pro playbook, audibles, snap counts, and calling plays in the huddle. 
</p>
<p>
In terms of style of play, Chambliss reminds me of the young Wilson. Wilson stopped running as much as he aged, as many quarterbacks do, but the young Wilson at Wisconsin and with Seattle was dangerous with his arm and legs. Chambliss is similar his arm talent, athleticism, and ability to make big plays in the clutch.

<div class="SR-Prospect-Comp replace-break">
    <h4>2027 NFL Draft Expectations:</h4>
<p>
Last year when it appeared Chambliss might be forced into the draft, NFL scouts did reports on him and were prepared for him to be in the draft. After speaking with multiple team sources, they say he could go as high as the second round and may not slip lower than the fourth round. This is a different quarterback class of course, so Chambliss’ projectino could change in the months to come. Entering the 2026 season, Chambliss looks like a potential day-two pick for the 2027 NFL Draft, but he could rise and be in the discussion with the quarterbacks that are <a href="https://walterfootball.com/draft2027charlie.php">projected to go in the first round.</a>

After a slow start, Manning finished the season strong and showed significant improvement over the course of the season. Manning has a great skill set with size, arm strength, and running ability. Obviously, his family heritage and pedigree have led to him having advanced fundamentals and mechanics. Manning flashed his talent in relief work for Quinn Ewers in 2024. Manning completed 68 percent of his passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had two rushing touchdowns.

In 2025, Moore completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Moore is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend. In 2023 with UCLA, Moore completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore has a good arm and can throw some beautiful passes deep down the field. Moore has a lot of talent and upside,  but against Indiana, Moore struggled. He showed that he needs to improve his processing speed and was holding the ball too long, leading to taking unnecessary sacks.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> Mestemeaker has a serious skill set with arm talent, size, and mobility. He flashed special ability with North Texas in 2025, completing 69 percent of his passes for 4,379 yards with 34 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also had five rushing scores. Mestemaker has a powerful arm and running ability, but he is very raw and needs development for the NFL. It will be fascinating to see how Mestemaker develops at Oklahoma State, and he could emerge as a high first-round prospect for the 2027 or 2028 NFL Draft.

It sounds like Sellers may return to South Carolina in 2026. He should look to improve his accuracy and fundamentals before going to the NFL.  </p><p>

Sellers has a big-time skill set and could be a special quarterback. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. He showed a strong arm with dynamic running ability and true dual-threat talent for the NFL. However, Sellers has inconsistent accuracy and needs a lot more polish to be an effective pocket passer in the NFL.

He completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. Leavitt is not big, but he was an efficient passer and has some arm talent.

Sorsby was denied entry into the NFL Supplemental Draft, and the league encouraged him to prepare for the 2027 NFL Draft. In 2025 with Cincinnati, Sorsby completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,800 yards with 27 touchdowns and five interceptions. He showed a lot of running ability as well, with nine touchdowns on the ground.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> Mateer completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and eight rushing touchdowns. After having hand surgery, Mateer was expected to miss a month but was only out for 17 days. After rushing back, Mateer had a horrible game against Texas, throwing three bad interceptions and taking some bad snaps.  </p><p> 

For the NFL, Mateer looks like a starter who could be a devastating passer. Mateer (6-1, 224) is an accurate passer with excellent ball placement overall. He has a few throws get away from him, but Mateer has impressive precision as a passer. Mateer is very mobile in the pocket and can hurt defenses on the ground. As a passer, Mateer is similar to Baker Mayfield, but Mateer is a better athlete and more dangerous with his feet. It would not surprise this analyst if Mateer ends up rising high for the 2025 NFL Draft.  </p><p>

Mateer played well for Washington State in 2024 and impressed in his first year as a starter. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,139 yards with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mateer has some mobility and is a gritty competitor. Some team sources have compared Mateer to former Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mateer could be a high riser during the 2025 season.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> Mensah played well in his season with Duke. He completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 34 touchdowns, six interceptions, and one touchdown rushing. After the season, he transferred to Miami to replace Carson Beck. He has a quality skill set with some arm talent and mobility. In 2024, Mensah had a good season as Tulane&#8217;s starting quarterback, which led to him getting big-money offers in the transfer portal. Mensah has good accuracy and feel as a passer. He does not have elite athleticism or size, but Mensah is a dangerous passer and a point producer.

Iamaleava was incredible in putting the team on his back and leading a winless Bruins team to a massive upset of Penn State, the No. 7-ranked team in the nation. In 2024 with Tennessee, Iamaleava completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Iamaleava has a ton of talent with a strong arm, passing ability, and is a fast, athletic, and tough runner. He could be a riser for his draft class.

He completed 77 percent of his passes for 3,610 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Sayin looks on the smaller side, but he showed quality accuracy, ball security, field vision, and decision-making in his debut season.

                    <i> 2/17/26:</I> Chambliss was superb for Ole Miss in 2025, leading them deep into the college football playoffs, including leading a legendary win over Georgia. In 2025, Chambliss completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions. The 6-foot, 200-pound Chambliss is a similar style quarterback to Kyler Murray and a young Russell Wilson. While he is short and undersized, Chambliss has a quality arm with excellent mobility. Team sources said that if he had been forced into the 2026 NFL Draft, they felt he could have been a worthy day-two pick for a team in need of quarterback competition. Chambliss successfully sued to get another year of eligibility from the NCAA to play at Ole Miss in 2026.  But teams were prepared and did reports on Chambliss. In speaking to sources from multiple teams, they felt Chambliss could have gone as high as the second round and as low as the fourth round.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> In 2025, Johnson completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,385 yards with 18 touchdowns passing, six interceptions, and eight touchdowns rushing. In 2024, Johnson completed 58 percent of his passes for 2,712 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Johnson has an intriguing skill set with arm talent, athleticism, and running ability. Some scouts feel he is a sleeper with upside and could be a riser.

With Benjamin Morrison hurt, Moore was phenomenal in 2024, helping the Fighting Irish reach the National Championship.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> After the 2025 season, Harris transferred to Indiana. In 2025, Harris had 33 tackles with one pass batted with Penn State. In 2024, Harris had 48 tackles with an interception and five passes broken up. He has good size and is a physical force. Harris will tackle with violence and plays really hard. However, he has some speed and twitch limitations for the NFL to be a true man-cover corner. Harris might fit best as a Brian Branch or Javon Bullard hybrid style defensive back at the pro level.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i>  Pollock has been a solid cover corner for the Red Raiders this season. Thus far, Pollock has 46 tackles with five interceptions and six passes defended. Pollock has quality size and speed, but is inconsistent. Sources say he is better in zone and is not playing man coverage at a high level yet. In 2023 and 2024, Pollock played at Mississippi State. In 2024, he had 48 tackles with an interception and seven passes broken up. Pollock has a quality skill set and could be a riser for the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft.

In 2025, Johnson had 47 tackles with five interceptions and seven passes broken up. It was a big improvement over 2024, when he had 16 tackles with two interceptions and one breakup. Johnson has adequate size for the NFL. He could get consideration as an outside or slot cornerback.

                    <i> 6/26/26:</i> Gray was feast-or-famine in 2025. He had 17 tackles with two interceptions and 11 passes broken up. Gray was a solid player for the Fighting Irish in 2024. He totaled 35 tackles with three interceptions and nine passes broken up. Sources say that Gray is instinctive, but they question his long speed and feel he is not a great tackler. He can be up and down, but has an inclination to make a big play to make up for some of the downs. Gray needs to be more consistent in 2026.

There were high projections of Scott for the 2026 draft, but he went out for the 2025 season with a lower leg injury. Scott is physical with ball skills, and he could rise if he shows good health and works out well before the draft.

Kite was kicked off the team at Auburn in 2024 for missing practice, meetings, and lying to the coaching staff. Sources say Kite is not a bad kid, but very immature. He has good size, speed, and a great skill set. In 2024, he had an interception and six tackles. Kite previously played at Alabama. After getting kicked off Auburn’s team, Kite landed with Ole Miss.

<b> 2026 Denver Broncos Offense: </b> <br>

Sean Payton was criticized for his decision to select Bo Nix in the opening round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but the Broncos have been very successful with him at quarterback. Nix engineered a terrific final drive to defeat the Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs, but injured himself in the process. He missed the AFC Championship with a broken ankle and will be in jeopardy of being hindered by the injury when he takes the field in 2026. <br> <br>

Payton made sure Nix would be able to take the next step when he fully returns from injury. Nix&#8217;s completion percentage dropped from 66.3 in his rookie campaign to 63.4 last year, and Payton must have thought it was because of the lack of experience at receiver, save for Courtland Sutton, who accumulated 1,017 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2025. Rather than hoping that the likes of Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant will develop, Payton traded a first-round pick to the Dolphins for Jaylen Waddle. The 27-year-old wideout is coming off a very disappointing season in which he failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards despite Tyreek Hill being absent for most of the year. In fact, Waddle hasn&#8217;t posted 1,000 receiving yards since 2023, so it&#8217;s curious as to why Payton relinquished such a premium draft choice for him. <br> <br>

In addition to the other receivers &#8211; Bryant has the most potential as a third-rounder from the 2025 NFL Draft &#8211; Nix will be able to continue working with Evan Engram and R.J. Harvey as receiving threats. Engram is a quality tight end who had some big games in 2025, but saw his snap count reduced as the year progressed. Harvey, meanwhile, caught 47 passes as a rookie. While Harvey was an effective pass-catching threat out of the backfield, he struggled as a rusher. Harvey has poor running vision, so he had issues finding the proper rushing lanes. J.K. Dobbins is better, but has severe problems remaining healthy. Fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman is not as physically talented as Harvey or Dobbins, but he is better at finding open running lanes. <br> <br>


  <div id="mtc-incontent-ad-2"></div>
 
Denver&#8217;s offensive weapons will continue to benefit from a strong offensive line. All five starters return from last year. The best tandem up front is the duo of tackles, Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey. Bolles can commit one too many penalties at times, but is an outstanding blocker otherwise. McGlinchey missed four games in 2024, but was on the field every game last season. McGlinchey has been superb, but he turns 32 in August and could begin to regress due to age. <br> <br>

The top player in Denver&#8217;s blocking unit is guard Quinn Meinerz, a former third-round selection. At just 27, Meinerz has a very bright future ahead of him. The rest of the interior is comprised of guard Ben Powers and center Luke Wattenberg. The latter isn&#8217;t great by any means, but is coming off his best season as a pro. Powers, conversely, was limited to just eight games due to injury. He&#8217;s not a bad player, but is the weak link on the unit.

<b> 2026 Denver Broncos Defense: </b> <br>


Most NFL fans would agree that the Broncos had one of the best defenses in the NFL last season. Denver led the league in sacks, so it&#8217;s an easy statement to make. However, the Broncos were known to have a paper tiger defense, according to this publication. That declaration was made even before Trevor Lawrence shredded the Broncos in a convincing 34-20 victory just prior to Christmas. The Broncos surrendered 26 or more points on several occasions, including their near-upset loss to the Giants at home. Denver&#8217;s defense ranked just 12th in defensive EPA. <br> <br>

The Broncos are not even expected to be as good this year on defense because they suffered a huge loss. John Franklin-Myers isn&#8217;t a household name, but he&#8217;s one of the best five-techniques in the NFL. His absence will create a void on the defensive line that might be filled by third-round rookie Tyler Onyedim or perhaps underwhelming veteran Malcolm Roach. One of them will join terrific pass rusher Zach Allen and run-stuffer D.J. Jones on the three-man front. <br> <br>

Franklin-Myers&#8217; 7.5 sacks will be missed, as he was third on the team in that category. Allen accumulated seven, as he and Franklin-Myers trailed Nik Bonitto&#8217;s 14 and Jonathon Cooper&#8217;s eight. Bonitto has emerged as one of the best players in the NFL. Cooper, meanwhile, is a former seventh-round selection who has made the most out of his career until this offseason when he was arrested twice in the same week, once for domestic violence allegations and then the second time for violating a restraining order. If Cooper is unavailable, Denver will have to turn to one of Jonah Elliss or Dondrea Tillman to pick up the slack. It&#8217;s safe to say that Denver will produce far less pressure if Cooper is unavailable.  <br> <br>


  <div id="mtc-incontent-ad-4"></div>

One other player the Broncos definitely lost on defense was Dre Greenlaw. This departure, however, won&#8217;t be as impactful. This is because Justin Strnad emerged as an excellent starter in relief of the injured Greenlaw last year. Strnad was great in coverage and decent in run support, so he can play all three downs. Alex Singleton is the opposite of Strnad; he&#8217;s stout in run support, but can be beaten in coverage. <br> <br>

Of course, Denver&#8217;s best coverage player is Patrick Surtain II, one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. Throwing at Surtain is impossible for most quarterbacks, so they tend to target the other outside cornerback Riley Moss, who is coming off a mediocre season. Nickel corner Ja&#8217;Quan McMillan fared much better. <br> <br>

At safety, the Broncos have a couple of talented players in Talanoa Hufanga and Brandon Jones. Hufanga has an extensive injury history, but managed to play all 17 games for the Broncos last season. Jones, meanwhile, is coming off a down year, but could rebound and play as well as he did in 2024.

<br> <br>
<b> 2026 Denver Broncos Schedule and Intangibles: </b> <br>



The thin Denver air creates a hostile environment for opponents, which explains why it had an NFL-best 77-18 home record from 1995 to 2005.  The team tailed off after that for a few years, but has since reestablished its great home-field advantage. In the Peyton Manning era, the Broncos were 32-6 as hosts, including the playoffs. Denver struggled as a host since Manning&#8217;s retirement, so we&#8217;ll see if it regains that with Sean Payton. The early results are promising, as Denver is 15-3 against the spread at home with Bo Nix at the helm. <br> <br>


Wil Lutz followed Payton from New Orleans to Denver. Lutz has done well with the Broncos. He was 28-of-32 last year, drilling 4-of-6 attempts from 50-plus.  <br> <br> 

Punter Jeremy Crawshaw, chosen in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was just 21st in net punting last season, though he did a good job of pinning the opposition inside the 20. <br> <br>


  <div id="mtc-incontent-ad-6"></div>
 
 
The Broncos had an easy schedule last year, but that won&#8217;t be the case in 2026. They begin the year by playing against the Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, and Seahawks. Five of those six teams made the playoffs in 2025, and the lone exception is the Chiefs. Denver&#8217;s schedule gets easier after that &#8211; opponents include the Cardinals, Panthers, Steelers, Dolphins, Jets, and Raiders twice &#8211; but then there are three difficult games to close out the year: Bills, Patriots, and Chargers. <br> <br>

<b> 2026 Denver Broncos Analysis: </b> The Broncos certainly won&#8217;t win 14 games again this year, and they could have issues making the playoffs. There&#8217;s a chance Bo Nix won&#8217;t be 100 percent, so the offense could struggle. Defensively, they lost John Franklin-Myers and could be missing Jonathon Cooper because of his off-the-field issues. With a tougher schedule this year, the Broncos are prime candidates to regress to the mean.

   <font size = 3> <b> NFL Draft Team Grade:  <font color = "red">  B Grade      </font>   </b> <br> <br>


<b> Goals Entering the 2026 NFL Draft: </b> The Broncos don&#8217;t have a first-round pick, yet they have several positions they&#8217;d like to address. In no particular order, they want to find upgrades at tight end, running back, linebacker, and edge rusher.   <br> <br>

<b> 2026 NFL Draft Accomplishments: </b> Thanks to a couple of trades, the Broncos didn&#8217;t make a selection until the third day of the 2026 NFL Draft. They&#8217;re difficult to grade for that reason, but it must be noted that of their seven selections made on Day 3, only one scored worse than a &#8220;B&#8221; grade. <br> <br>

Denver spent the third day addressing its needs. It acquired a potential replacement for John Franklin-Myers with Tyler Onyedim. R.J. Harvey was then potentially upgraded via the Jonah Coleman selection. Justin Joly, chosen in the fifth round, could be the type of Joker tight end Sean Payton has been looking for during his tenure with the Broncos. <br> <br>

I can&#8217;t grade the Broncos very highly because the chances of them landing an impact player for 2026 are slim because of when they acquired their prospects. However, there&#8217;s definitely some promise to this draft class, and Denver did well with the limited resources it possessed entering the 2026 NFL Draft. 

  

<br> <br> </li>


  
  
  
<br> <br>                     



<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-10"></div>



<p><strong> NFL Draft Individual Grades: </strong></p>

  
  


<p><br /><strong>66. Tyler Onyedim, DL, Texas A&#038;M &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  B Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>This is a fine pick. The Broncos lost a valuable defensive lineman, so it makes sense for them to find a replacement. Tyler Onyedim doesn’t really produce much of a pass rush, but he’s stout against the run.</p>








<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-1"></div>


<p><br /><strong>108. Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  A Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>Jonah Coleman is a quick running back with a strong build. I was a fan, and thought he could have gone as high as No. 64. R.J. Harvey was a huge disappointment last year, and so Coleman could be an upgrade.</p>





<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-2"></div>



<p><br /><strong>111. Kage Casey, OT, Boise State &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  B+ Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>The Broncos have to protect Bo Nix, and Kage Casey can begin his career as a swing tackle because he can play left and right tackle. I had Casey going at the end of the third round, so there’s a bit of value with this pick.</p>




<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-3"></div>


<p><br /><strong>152. Justin Joly, TE, N.C. State &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  A+ Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>The Broncos were interested in a tight end earlier, and they could have taken this tight end earlier. Justin Joly is a great athlete with outstanding hands, but he’s undersized and doesn’t block well. Still, he could fill Sean Payton’s Joker role and be a great weapon.</p>






<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-4"></div>

<p><br /><strong>246. Miles Scott, S, Illinois &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  B+ Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>Miles Scott is a physical safety with some decent instincts. He was seen as a sleeper by some. This is a solid selection by the Broncos.</p>





<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-5"></div>



<p><br /><strong>256. Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  C Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>Dallen Bentley has plus size with good receiving ability, but he’s not a great athlete and doesn’t block well. There’s not much upside here, which is what you want in Round 7.</p>



<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-6"></div>




<p><br /><strong>257. Red Murdock, LB, Buffalo &ndash; <span style="color: red;">  B+ Grade</span></strong></p>
<p>Red Murdock is a strong tackler, but struggles to cover. He could potentially be a two-down linebacker down the road, but will have to make the team via special teams. I had him as a sixth-round pick, so this is a quality selection with the final pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. <br> <br>

The early part of the 2027 NFL Draft process started over the spring with the advance scouts putting together their preseason watchlist based on their film study and visiting colleges in their territory. The preseason watch lists are shared with the teams that are part of National Football Scouting or the Blesto scouting service. Looking at the 2026 preseason watch list, two tight ends graded out highly. LSU’s Trey’Dez Green graded out 10th overall, while Oregon’s Jamari Johnson came in at 32nd overall. 
</p>
 <div id="mtc-incontent-ad-1"></div>
<p> 
The 6-foot-6, 238-pound Green flashed dynamic receiving ability as a sophomore, hauling in 33 passes for 433 yards with seven touchdowns. Green has surprising speed and fluid athleticism for a big-bodied tight end. He could be a mismatch weapon in the NFL. As a freshman backing up Mason Taylor, Green caught four touchdowns with 101 yards on 13 catches.  NFL advance scouts have Green’s 40-yard dash time projected to be 4.55 seconds, which is a fast time for a tight end with Green’s size. 
</p>
<p> 
While Kenyon Sadiq got the most attention, he wasn’t the only talented tight end on the Ducks, as Johnson flashed serious ability. Johnson (6-4, 245) has quality size and flashed athleticism and speed as a receiver. In 2025, he caught 32 passes for 510 yards and three touchdowns. With Sadiq in the NFL, Johnson could produce more in 2026.
</p>
 <div></div>
<p>
The preseason grades are not set in stone, and scouts will forget them soon. In the 2018 preseason, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams were not on the preseason watch list. Yet Murray became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Williams went third a few months later. There have been other late-round projections, such as Joe Burrow, who ended up skyrocketing during the season. Other players had high preseason projections but were mid- or late-round picks months later. Thus, the value is more of a watch list than a reflection of players’ abilities. But entering the 2026 season, Green and Johnson are highly rated.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> Bryant was a solid free safety for Kentucky in 2025 as he recorded 76 tackles with four interceptions and one pass broken up. He did a nice job of defending the deep part of the field. He covers ground well on the back end. For the NFL, Bryant could stand to add some strength for tackling pro receivers, tight ends, and running backs.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> Moore was a star to start out his college career before injuries dominated his past three years. Moore got a sixth season of eligibility after two injury-plagued years. In 2025, Moore returned to the field in late September and had six tackles and one interception in three games. He went out of the lineup in mid-October. Moore did not play this season after suffering a torn ACL in March of 2024. In 2023, Moore had 38 tackles with two interceptions and five passes broken up. In 2022, he had 71 tackles with four interceptions and seven passes broken up. Moore has quality ball skills and is a versatile safety on the back end. Moore must stay healthy in 2026 in order to be draftable. If he stays healthy and returns to his 2022-23 form, Moore could quickly rise up these rankings.

A few weeks ago, we reported that Texas’s Arch Manning was the highest-rated quarterback on NFL teams’ preseason watch lists. With Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby being denied entry into the NFL’s Supplemental Draft, there is one more early-round prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft. However, the 2027 group is a deep year for quarterback talent, and other quarterbacks had early-round preseason grades from the advance scouts. After Manning, the advance scouts had Oregon’s Dante Moore, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers, LSU’s Sam Leavitt, and Sorsby graded in the top 32 prospects.

Moore was a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Moore is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend. In 2023 with UCLA, Moore completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore has a good arm and can throw some beautiful passes deep down the field. Moore has a lot of talent and upside,  but against Indiana in the college football playoff, Moore struggled. He showed that he needs to improve his processing speed and was holding the ball too long, leading to taking unnecessary sacks. Team sources say that, having stood next to Moore (6-2, 215), he is nearly the same size as Rams quarterback Ty Simpson. Size was a criticism of Simpson, so Moore could have some of that next spring.

The 6-foot-3, 242-pound Sellers is known to have a great skill set with a power arm and running ability. In 2025, Sellers was hurt by an awful offensive line as he completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing scores, and some yardage on the ground.  In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. Sellers needs to improve his accuracy and fundamentals as a pocket passer.

While recovering from a Lisfranc injury, Leavitt transferred to LSU for the 2026 season. In 2025, Leavitt completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,628 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions in seven games before going out for the season in late October. In 2024, Leavitt did a good job of managing the game and using the playmakers at his disposal while leading Arizona State into the college football playoffs. He completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. Leavitt (6-2, 200) is not big, but he was an efficient passer and has some arm talent.

Sorsby (6-2, 238) started out his college career at Indiana and was a backup in 2022. In 2023, he saw some action, completing 57 percent of his passes for 1,587 yards with 15 touchdowns passing, four rushing, and five interceptions. After that season, he transferred to Cincinnati. In 2024, he completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,813 yards with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions. In 2025 with Cincinnati, Sorsby completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,800 yards with 27 touchdowns and five interceptions. He ran for nine touchdowns in each of his seasons with the Bearcats. Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech after the season, but entered treatment last April for a gambling addiction. Sorsby reportedly bet over $90,000 on pro and college sports, including making bets on his own team. Sorsby had a suspension from the Big 12. After successfully suing to be play, other teams in the Big 12 conference revolted, and the controversy caused Sorsby to seek entry into the NFL’s Supplemental Draft. The NFL declined to hold a Supplemental Draft and encouraged Sorsby to prepare for the 2027 NFL Draft.

The preseason grades are not set in stone, and scouts will forget them soon. In the 2018 preseason, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams were not on the preseason watch list. Yet Murray became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Williams went third a few months later. There have been other late-round projections, such as Joe Burrow, who ended up skyrocketing during the season. Other players had high preseason projections but were mid- or late-round picks months later. Thus, the value is more of a watch list than a reflection of players’ abilities. But entering the 2026 season, these quarterbacks are highly rated. Some of them are in my <a href="https://walterfootball.com/draft2027charlie.php">my latest 2027 NFL Mock Draft</a>, but some of them are not in the first round, and I have a different quarterback going in the first round not mentioned in the group above.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> Leigh broke into the starting lineup as a freshman in 2023, and he has locked down the left tackle spot for the past three seasons. Leigh is a big tackle, with length and strength. He impressed the NFL advance scouts to get a favorable projection on their preseason watch list. If Leigh blocks well at an all-star game like the Senior Bowl, he could really rise for the 2027 NFL Draft.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> Fromby was the starting right tackle for Alabama in 2025, and was been solid overall. Fromby was a rotational backup in 2024 but had a few starts. Fromby has excellent size and the talent to be a riser, but he is raw and needs more development. He should return to school as he has the potential to be an early-round prospect come 2027 or 2028.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> Williams has started at left tackle and right tackle over the past few seasons, and he has been a steady blocker for the Mustanges. Williams could start out as a swing tackle backup in the NFL with the potential to grow into a bigger role. Playing well at an All-Star game would help him.

Moore started at right tackle in 2025 and had some mixed outings. He was wise to return to the Spartans for the 2026 season.

<> 6/24/26:</i> At Alabama, Pritchett was a decent run blocker at the point of attack with developing pass protection skills. Pritchett was the Crimson Tide’s starting right tackle and improved as he gained experience. He transferred to Nebraska for the 2025 season. With the Cornhuskers, Pritchett did not dominate but was a solid left tackle. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection Pritchett has talent, but did not play up to his ability at Alabama, and he should have been more dominant than he was. Pritchett has maturity issues, and that could be a factor in his play. Perhaps he will mature and develop in 2026.

Sampson started at left tackle for the Red Raiders and had a strong debut after playing at North Texas for a few seasons. Sampson could also be a swing tackle backup for the NFL with the potential to grow into a bigger role.

                    <i> 6/24/26:</i> With Virginia Tech, Chaplin was one of the top left tackles in the ACC in 2024. He improved as a blocker after a solid debut season as a starter in 2023 for the Hokies. Chaplin has excellent size with impressive movement skills for such a big blocker, but he needs improvement in technique. He has an early-round skill set, but he did not play up to it with Auburn in 2025 as Chaplin was abused in pass protection. For 2026, Chaplin transferred to Florida State. Chaplin might fit best as a right tackle or guard at the pro level. He is talented, but his pass blocking needs to improve drastically to see the field in the NFL.

<br>

The Knicks are making this selection from Washington via Oklahoma City and Houston. If the Knicks make it back to the NBA Finals again, they&#8217;ll need to have as many people to defend an even-stronger Victor Wembanyama. 

<br> <br> Follow <a href = "http://twitter.com/walterfootball" target = "blank">@walterfootball</a> for updates. 

<br> <br> Also, if you haven&#8217;t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we&#8217;ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look. <br> <br>

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for <a href = "https://debacled.walterfootball.com/Premium/Index">the ad-free version of it</a>. It&#8217;s $7.99 per month, but you&#8217;ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don&#8217;t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

<b> Minnesota Timberwolves: Baba Miller, C, Cincinnati  </b> <img decoding="async" src="/college/Cincinnati_logo.gif" VALIGN = "Cincinnati">

<b> Cleveland Cavaliers: Meleek Thomas, G, Arkansas </b> <img decoding="async" src="/college/Arkansas_logo.gif" VALIGN = "bottom">
<br>

The Cavaliers will lose James Harden, which could be addition by subtraction. Still, the Cavaliers need another guard.

<b> Oklahoma City Thunder: Trevon Brazile, PF, Arkansas </b> <img decoding="async" src="/college/Arkansas_logo.gif" VALIGN = "bottom">

<br>

43. <img decoding="async" src="/nba/nets.gif" ALT = "Brooklyn Nets">
 
<b> Brooklyn Nets: Ryan Conwell, SG, Louisville </b> <img decoding="async" src="/college/Louisville_logo.gif" VALIGN = "bottom">

<br> <br>

<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-13"></div>


44. <img decoding="async" src="/nba/spurs.gif">

<b> San Antonio Spurs:  Braden Smith, PG, Purdue  </b> <img decoding="async" src="/college/Purdue_logo.gif" VALIGN = "bottom" ALT = "Purdue">

<br> <br>

<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-14"></div>


45. <img decoding="async" src="/nba/kings.gif">

<b> What is this? </b> This is my 18th-annual NBA Draft Blog. I&#8217;ll be posting my thoughts about the first round of the NBA Draft here. That will include everything from the actual picks, to the ESPN &#8220;personalities,&#8221; to the commercials, etc. Anything goes.  This page will be updated every five minutes or so, so I hope you join me for the 2023 NBA Draft! <br /> <br />

Also, I will be posting <a href = "nbadraftgrades.php"> NBA Draft Grades</a> on this page.   <br /> <br />
 
<b> 7:58: </b> It&#8217;s time for the NBA Draft to begin! I&#8217;ve written up grades on the Bullets drafting Dybantsa and the Jazz drafting Peterson, so if the selections don&#8217;t go that way, I&#8217;m screwed! <br> <br>

<b> 7:59: </b> I used to watch the NBA Draft with my dad almost every year. That has stopped because I have two young kids at home. I&#8217;m a bit worried about my 4-year-old son Conrad going to sleep because I always put him to bed, but my wife will be doing so tonight. There&#8217;s a good chance he comes downstairs to watch this with me, so the circle of life could be complete. <br> <br>

<b> 8:01: </b> I can see why New Yorkers were happy about a parade. Their city sucks, so they need something to get excited about. <br> <br>

<b> 8:02: </b> I imagine some New Yorkers will e-mail me saying, &#8220;Hurr durr, Philly sucks too bro.&#8221; I know. It does. My friend once told me a joke: What&#8217;s the difference between Philadelphians and New Yorkers? Philadelphians know their city sucks. <br> <br>

<b> 8:04: </b> One of the best things about watching the NBA Draft with my dad is hearing the expletives he shouts at Adam Silver. <br> <br>

<b> 8:05: </b> Crazy that Jalen Brunson and Nikola Jokic were both second-round picks. <br> <br>

<b> 8:06: </b> Washington Bullets* not Wizards. <br> <br>

<b> 8:07: </b> Can someone tell me why ESPN has two sideline reporters sitting on their set? They did this last year. <br> <br>

<b> 8:08: </b> Whoa, where did Tim Legler get his tan, the planet Mercury? <br> <br>

<b> 8:09: </b> Nice to see that Scott Van Pelt is on the set as well. <br> <br>

<b> 8:10: </b> Did the ESPN sideline reporter just say that the agent&#8217;s phone hasn&#8217;t rung yet? That&#8217;s insane. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 1 pick the Wizards select A.J. Dybantsa </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:12: </b> I usually joke about being happy about getting the first pick right when it&#8217;s such a given, but there were mock drafts out there that had the Bullets drafting Peterson. <br> <br>

<b> 8:13: </b> The Jazz are up. My dad always jokes, &#8220;They&#8217;re going to draft the best white player available.&#8221; <br> <br>

<b> 8:15: </b> Five minutes per pick is way too rushed. <br> <br>

<b> 8:16: </b> &#8220;The Jazz are now on the clock.&#8221; No, they already made their pick. ESPN already behind. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 2 pick the Wizards select Darryn Peterson </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:18: </b> Two for two in my mock. Absolute perfection. <br> <br>

<b> 8:19: </b> The NBA about to set off the fire alarm with all that smoke they have for players entering the stage. <br> <br>

<b> 8:20: </b> Darryn Peterson&#8217;s mom looks like she&#8217;s from the year 2190 with that spacesuit coat she&#8217;s wearing. <br> <br>

<b> 8:22: </b> It feels like Cameron Boozer has already been in the NBA for years with all the commecials he&#8217;s been in the past six months. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 3 pick the Grizzlies select Cameron Boozer </b> <br> <br>



<div id="mtc-incontent-ad-1"></div>
  


<b> 8:25: </b> Three for three, let&#8217;s go! (Although many other mocks are also 3-for-3.) <br> <br>

<b> 8:26: </b> Here come the Bulls, who may also be moving to Hammond, Indiana at this point. <br> <br>

<b> 8:29: </b> Lisa Salters just named the wrong Boozer kid, and Carlos did not look very happy. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 4 pick the Bulls select Caleb Wilson </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:31: </b> Four for four! Hotter than the Las Vegas sun! <br> <br>

<b> 8:32: </b> This new Clippers logo sucks. It looks like a purple blob. I&#8217;m aware it&#8217;s supposed to be a ship, but you can only tell that if you look closely. Surely they could have come up with something better than that. <br> <br>
<b> 8:33: </b> Who designed those baseball caps, Mrs. Goldberg? <br> <br>

<b> 8:34: </b> Is Caleb Wilson&#8217;s dad Jerry Rice? Looked exactly like him. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 5 pick the Clippers select Keaton Wagler </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:37: </b> Five for five. Speaking of five, the Five Guys near me has closed for good, and as a fat man, I&#8217;ve never been more upset. <br> <br>

<b> 8:38: </b> Come on, Nets, take Acuff, and have me go six for six. <br> <br>

<b> 8:39: </b> I like this family room-style setup for the interviews. It&#8217;d be nicer if we had slightly longer interviews. Teams should have seven minutes in between picks. <br> <br>

<b> 8:40: </b> The ESPN sideline reporter just said she looks like she&#8217;s 12? Oooookayyy. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 6 pick the Nets select Mikel Brown Jr.  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:43: </b> Nooooooo!!! No six of six. Oh well. I had a nice run, along with everyone else. If only the NFL Draft was so predictable. <br> <br>
<b> 8:44: </b> Speaking of six, that reminds me of the word sex. I heard a funny joke recently. They call sex before marriage a sin. What do they call sex after marriage?  A miracle. <br> <br>
<b> 8:45: </b> Mikel Brown Jr. just said, &#8220;I&#8217;m home.&#8221; Does he think this family room setup is his actual home? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 7 pick the Nets select Darius Acuff Jr.   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:48: </b> No lie, I thought about switching the sixth and seventh picks, but didn&#8217;t pull the trigger. Damn it! <br> <br>

<b> 8:49: </b> ESPN is so far behind that when Lisa Salters was interviewing Mikel Brown, and she said he&#8217;d be playing in this arena, I thought she meant the Kings because the Kings&#8217; pick was in. <br> <br>

<b> 8:50: </b> &#8220;Darius, what makes this moment so special?&#8221; &#8220;Very special.&#8221; <br> <br>

<b> 8:52: </b> Great, now with the commercials, ESPN will fall even further behind. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 8 pick the Hawks select Kingston Flemings   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 8:56: </b> Six of eight is not bad. We&#8217;re rooting for Brayden Burries now. <br> <br>

<b> 8:57: </b> NFL and NBA front offices always clap for themselves whenever they make a pick. It&#8217;s not that impressive to make a pick, guys. <br> <br>


<b> With the No. 9 pick the Mavericks select Morez Johnson   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:03: </b> A long time ago, Pete Carroll caught a lot of flak for drafting Earl Thomas over one of his USC safeties. He definitely made the right choice, as Thomas ended up being one of the great players in the Legion of Boom. The Mavericks just made the opposite decision. Then again, this is a team that traded Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson for very little. <br> <br>

<b> 9:04: </b> I just became blind looking at Morez Johnson&#8217;s mother&#8217;s dress. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 10 pick the Mavericks select Brayden Burries   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:08: </b> ESPN&#8217;s sideline reporter: &#8220;The clock is ticking down, the Bucks&#8217; pick will be in soon.&#8221; Meanwhile, the screen said &#8220;the pick is in.&#8221; <br> <br>

<b> 9:09: </b> &#8220;Brayden Burries has no memory.&#8221; So, this is like Fifty First Dates? <br> <br>

<b> 9:10: </b> Just saw that the Warriors are trying to trade the pick. <br> <br>

<b> 9:12: </b> The ESPN sideline reporter just said that Golden State is her &#8220;home town.&#8221; My condolences on dealing with all of the poop on the street. <br> <br>

<b> 9:13: </b> Got distracted by the talent sitting behind Yaxel. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 11 pick the Warriors select Yaxel Lendeborg   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:17: </b> Every player thus far has had a strong family unit. That&#8217;s nice to see. No one has had their fourth aunt&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s roomate once removed sitting with them in Lisa Salters&#8217; family room. <br> <br>
<b> 9:18: </b> That was correct pick No. 7 for me. I know you guys care so much about this. <br> <br>

<b> 9:19: </b> ESPN&#8217;s sideline reporter said, &#8220;He&#8217;s mobile. He moves well.&#8221; From the redundancy department of redundancy. <br> <br>
<b> 9:20: </b> No dad in this interview. Spoke too soon. <br> <br>
<b> With the No. 12 pick the Thunder select Aday Mara   </b> <br> <br>
<b> 9:23: </b> Why is the Michigan Maverick coach yelling &#8220;damn it&#8221; after all of his players are selected? Is he trying to draft every Michigan player? <br> <br>

<b> 9:25: </b> Why does ESPN have the Heat drafting now? Did they not hear about the Giannis trade? <br> <br>

<b> 9:27: </b> It&#8217;d be great if the city that hosted the NBA Draft didn&#8217;t smell like sour milk. <br> <br>

<b> 9:28: </b> The Heat/Bucks ran out of time. Hornets, make the pick now!!! <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 13 pick the Bucks select Nate Ament   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:32: </b> I had the Bucks drafting Ament at No. 10. Given that these two picks were so close together, I&#8217;m going to count this as correct. That would be eight. Again, I know you guys are so interested. <br> <br>

<b> 9:33: </b> I just realized that I had Aday Mara written as &#8220;Andy Mara&#8221; in my mock draft. Whoops! In my defense, Andy sounds much better than Aday. <br> <br>

<b> 9:34: </b> Colenol Sanders sitting with Nate Ament and his mom for some reason. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 14 pick the Hornets select Hannes Steinbach   </b> <br> <br>
<b> 9:40: </b> Nice job by Adam Silver announcing a trade that happened 24 hours ago. <br> <br>

<b> 9:41: </b> Great words from Dirk Nowitzki. Very inspiring. <br> <br>
<b> 9:42: </b> Who is that 7-foot-tall woman on the couch with Steinbach? <br> <br>

<b> 9:44: </b> Glad to see Tormund getting a job now that the Wall is down. <br> <br>

<b> 9:45: </b> Salad in a roll? Just eat a f**king salad. <br> <br>
<b> 9:46: </b> Salad in a salad wrap makes sense. Bread defeats the whole purpose. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 15 pick the Bulls select Dailyn Swain   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:47: </b> The Thunder traded the 17th pick an hour ago, apparently, but ESPN has yet to mention it. <br> <br>
<b> 9:49: </b> No idea why ESPN is listing Swain as a guard. He&#8217;s a 6-foot-8 rebounding small forward. <br> <br>
<b> 9:50: </b> ESPN kicked Scott Van Pelt off the set for the A.J. Dybantsa interview. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 16 pick the Thunder select Bennett Stirtz   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 9:57: </b> The Thunder and Grizzlies flip-flopped picks for some reason. <br> <br>

<b> 9:58: </b> It&#8217;d be nice if ESPN reported this trade when it was made an hour ago! How incompetent are these people? <br> <br>

<b> 9:59: </b> Where&#8217;s Brian Windworst? Why is he not on the set? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 17 pick the Pistons select Ebuka Okorie   </b> <br> <br>
<b> 10:04: </b> Sorry, lots to catch up on. I don&#8217;t think anyone knows who really has the 16th and 17th picks. <br> <br>

<b> 10:05: </b> What a reach! Detroit making a poor draft pick? When have we heard that before? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 18 pick the Hornets select Hans Christian Anderson   </b> <br> <br>
<b> 10:09: </b> I can&#8217;t wait to hear about all of these trades. You&#8217;d think one of the sideline reporters they have on the set would announce them. Or what about Adam Silver? Why&#8217;s he not announcing them? <br> <br>

<b> 10:10: </b> Bad look for Hans Christian Anderson to take a picture with soccer players, but people from third-world countries don&#8217;t know any better. <br> <br>

<b> 10:11: </b> Seeing this sideline reporter up close for the first time. She doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;s 12. I suppose that means that Krassenstein brothers won&#8217;t want to shower with her. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 19 pick the Raptors select Allen Graves   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:15: </b> Eight picks correct, but I&#8217;ve been one off on four selections. Could have easily been 12! <br> <br>

<b> 10:16: </b> 1969 is part of the modern draft era??? <br> <br>

<b> 10:17: </b> The biggest choke artists in sports history are now on the clock. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 20 pick the Spurs select Jayden Quaintance   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:21: </b> Will Quaintance keep the Spurs from choking? <br> <br>

<b> 10:23: </b> OK, so based on what the doctor guy ESPN had on air said, this next pick will be sent to Memphis. <br> <br>

<b> 10:24: </b> Bring back the dollar slice? Just go back in time and prevent Woodrow Wilson from installing the Federal Reserve. <br> <br>

<b> 10:25: </b> If ESPN wants people to download their app, perhaps they shouldn&#8217;t show Mina Kimes as one of the broadcasters. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 21 pick the Grizzlies select Karim Lopez   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:29: </b> Did they just say Karim Lopez is from Ana Lucia, Mexico? Oh, I miss LOST so much. <br> <br>

<b> 10:31: </b> The Seventy Sucksers are on the clock. Let&#8217;s see how they screw this up. <br> <br>

<b> 10:32: </b> The 76ers should draft one of these mega values at guard or a center to eventually take over for Joel Embiid. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 22 pick the 76ers select Labaron Philon   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:36: </b> I wonder what my dad thinks about this. I know he wanted a center to replace Joel Embiid, but this pick was a steal. <br> <br>

<b> 10:37: </b> Speaking of dads, I haven&#8217;t seen my son yet. I thought he&#8217;d come downstairs for sure. <br> <br>

<b> 10:41: </b> WWE Night of Champions beings at 1 p.m. Eastern? Don&#8217;t they mean Afternoon of Champions? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 23 pick the Hawks select Zuby Ejiofor   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:45: </b> A crappy song for a crappy city. <br> <br>

<b> 10:46: </b> The Knicks traded this pick to the Lakers. Sad times for all of the Epstein Island clients who sat courtside during the Finals. <br> <br>

<b> 10:48: </b> The 76ers are the Seventy Selectors. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 24 pick the Lakers select Cameron Carr   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:52: </b> Scott Van Pelt just got completely confused by the trades. He thought the Lakers were still on the clock at No. 25. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 25 pick the Knicks select Sergio De Larrea   </b> <br> <br>

<b> 10:58: </b> Another ESPN guy &#8211; that Fran person &#8211; just said this was a good pick by the Lakers. No one was paying attention to the doctor guy reporting the trades, apparently. <br> <br>

<b> 11:00: </b> Five more picks! Great move, by the way, to split up the two rounds. I don&#8217;t think I could handle a second round right now. <br> <br>

<b> 11:02: </b> Scott Van Pelt doing SportsCenter and NBA Draft coverage? What an iron man. <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 26 pick the Nuggets select Tarris Reed  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 11:05: </b> Denver is trading this pick to San Antonio. <br> <br>

<b> 11:07: </b> Is someone ringing a bell in the background, or this another instance of my Exploding Head Syndrome? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 27 pick the Celtics select Chris Cenac  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 11:11: </b> It was pretty shocking to me that the Celtics offered Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Maybe I wasn&#8217;t paying attention, but I didn&#8217;t think Brown was on the trade block. <br> <br>
<b> 11:13: </b> I can&#8217;t get anymore picks correct. So sad. <br> <br>

<b> 11:14: </b> The Timberwolves changed their logo again? Just go back to the original! <br> <br>

<b> 11:15: </b> This is the Nets pick, so why are they talking about the Timberwolves? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 28 pick the Nets select Joshua Jefferson  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 11:18: </b> I just noticed that my draft grades don&#8217;t have any in-content ads. Ugh. Looks like I&#8217;ll have to beg for more money from you guys. Please sign up for premium! <br> <br>

<b> 11:21: </b> Is the dad from the Hersheys smore commercial the fat kid from Sandlot? <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 29 pick the Cavaliers select Joshua Jefferson  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 11:27: </b> &#8220;We&#8217;re getting closer to the pick being made.&#8221; Wow, what great insight! <br> <br>

<b> With the No. 30 pick the Suns select Koa Peat  </b> <br> <br>

<b> 11:33: </b> That was an interesting night. The NBA and ESPN need to improve their draft presentation. Adam Silver has to stop announcing old trades and needs to start calling out the correct drafting teams. ESPN needs to have real sports analysts on their desk instead of glorified sideline reporters. And who was that 7-foot-tall woman?  <br> <br>
  
<b> 11:35: </b>  I&#8217;ll have <a href = "nbadraftgrades.php">NBA Draft Grades</a> posted tomorrow as well. There will be no live blog because the picks will happen too quickly. <br> <br>
  
But thank you for reading my incoherent thoughts. Hopefully I offended lots of people! Check out my <a href = "nbadraft2027.php">2027 NBA Mock Draft</a>. <br> <br>
