We've entered the home stretch. Welcome to the week of the 2026 NFL Draft! After watching the film, I put together a list of 110 players and ranked them from best to worst. Here's my official Big Board for the #NFLDraft: thedraftreport.substack.com/…

I love the blitz pickup from Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs on this play. Very nice pitch and catch between Goff and Jamo as well. #OnePride

All timing, trust and your WR1 winning his matchup. Life is good for the Lions offense when they get the ball into the hands of Amon-Ra early and often. #OnePride

I was told he couldn’t cover though. Tried telling people during the draft process that he was a top-20 player for a reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

The angles, hands, posture, depths, eyes, zone pass-offs... Josiah Trotter is a natural at LB. This dude gets it.

Absolutely criminal that Nick doesn’t have more. Follow him!

I stopped caring about follower numbers a long time ago, but it is cool to see I hit the 3000 mark. I really appreciate all the support I get from so many people I respect in this industry, everyone who has been with me since day 1 and all of the new people who love my analysis.

Very good pickup on the safety from Lions TE Brock Wright but I just love watching Jahmyr Gibbs find another gear. He does it so well! #OnePride

If you were to show clips of what Detroit Lions football is all about under Dan Campbell, this would be one of those clips. #OnePride

Said it on the podcast that Evan Williams is a player worth watching this week against the Lions. He's all over the place for that defense. #OnePride

Received a text last weekend from @Bischoff_Scott on Roberts. He's definitely stood out during live viewings I've seen of the Spartans and even more so during film study tonight.

Ben Roberts #55 NT for Michigan State has been flashing on tape against Northwestern. Definitely a guy I'm jotting down. A couple of drop knee reps vs doubles and some nice stacks and sheds against the run.

I feel like if Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa wouldn't have stumbled out of his break, he would possibly caught this pass. Maybe the turf monster as well. Couple of plays where Lions players were losing their footing. #OnePride

Lions RT Blake Miller loses ground and allows up the inside. I hope the bye week did some good for his knee. #OnePride

Proud of this kid. Jobs not finished and he’s got plenty to improve on but I love how hard he works, the effort and knowledge he shows on the field. Smart player that’s still scratching the surface. #HUNT

This is unfortunate news. Always hate to see anyone get injured. Wonder what this could mean for his draft status in the 2027 NFL Draft?

Ohio State coach Ryan Day said that QB Julian Sayin is out indefinitely. There’s a plan being put in place for Sayin not being available for both the regular season and postseason. He said there’s no specific timeline on the recovery. He’s dealing with an injury on his throwing arm.
