New England used nine picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, mixing in‑range moves like Caleb Lomu with notable deviations from the Consensus Big Board—including a major reach at tight end with Eli Raridon and the standout steal of Dametrious Crownover—plus savvy late selections such as Namdi Obiazor and Behren Morton; time will tell how this class ages against draft-position expectations.
The article previews Green Bay’s Day 2 strategy at 52 by grouping the top 75 remaining players on the Consensus Big Board into tiers, detailing which prospects would be ideal at 52, which could trigger a trade-up, and which names (such as Kayden McDonald, Colton Hood, Christen Miller, Domonique Orange, and Dani Dennis-Sutton) might be realistic targets at 52 or 84, while noting board gaps and fit/health concerns.
The piece identifies six plausible first-round targets for the Philadelphia Eagles: four offensive tackles (Monroe Freeling, Kadyn Proctor, Olaivavega Ioane, Blake Miller), two wide receivers (Jordyn Tyson, Omar Cooper), and discusses how fit, upside, and risk—along with potential trade-up needs—could shape a late-first-round pick, all anchored to The Athletic's consensus big board.
The 2024 NFL Draft consensus Big Board suggests an offense-heavy top of the draft, with WR/TE prospects potentially dominating the early picks. The board also indicates a strong early O-line depth and a potential run of defensive players in the mid-Round 1 range. LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a notable riser, while the order of the second group of quarterbacks remains uncertain.
The Seattle Seahawks have a history of drafting players who are projected to be Day Two prospects, with the exception of Charles Cross in 2022. The team's previous first-round picks over the last five drafts were all rated as Day Two prospects on the Athletic's consensus big board. However, with the highest overall pick of the Carroll/Schneider-era in the upcoming NFL Draft, the team may be looking to draft a blue chip prospect and stick closer to the consensus rankings.
