Alright friends. We did a recon mock to figure out where our favorite guys are going near the middle of each round. We did a real mock where I tried to get my hands on a few.

I don't care what you say, this is still the toughest spot to draft from in 2026.

What is this video not about? This is NOT a radioactive, don't-touch list. This is a list of players going way too early, and even if they fell a little bit, we still don't want 'em.

Late fliers are the most fun. There's almost no downside since many will get dropped onto the waiver wire, anyway, so it's all about going hunting for upside.
