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:

Let's just not have college games played anywhere but the colleges. It's a pretty simple concept.

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

NC State and Virginia announced that their Week 0 game will no longer be played in Brazil after an “extensive review with operational partners and international stakeholders.”

Both schools are working with the NCAA and ESPN to determine whether the game will remain in Week 0 or shift to Week 1.

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

@blueandsilver8 He's joining as a personnel executive, not the GM. Highly unlikely that he'd have that type of influence.

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

It’s an interesting hire but there’s a lot of dot connecting for it all to make sense. #OnePride

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

The Lions have hired former Dolphins GM Chris Grier as a personnel executive, per @AdamSchefter,

Grier spent nearly a decade as Miami's general manager from 2016-25.

Back to the football grind today. It was nice to unplug and enjoy the month of May but time to get back to work. Sorting through Lions stuff and jumping into the tape of the South Carolina defense.

FIVE @JimCosta_

[Detroit Tigers @tigers]

5 home runs is tied for the most we’ve had in a game since 9/5/17!

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

Still blows my mind that the Browns traded away their best player.

Rate these helmets 👀

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

You just love to see it!

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

Completely agree. There’s some talent on the roster for sure. #OnePride

[Detroit Lions @Lions]

Gotta love it

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

Man I’m so pumped! #OnePride

[Detroit Lions @Lions]

That OTA work

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

Terrific young man and is one of the strongest players I’ve been around. He’s an incredible worker and looks to finish in the run game on offense and can anchor at the point of attack on defense. Congratulations! Stay hungry, humble and determined! #HUNT

[Cody Moskalik @Codymoskalik57]

After a great conversation with @Coach_allendl I am extremely blessed to say I have received my second offer to take my career to the collegiate level. Thank you to the @MountUnionFB @FranklinFootbal @JacobKelbert9 @CoachMoran31 @RussNFLDraft @MountUnionFB @purpleraiders #AGTG

Wemby is having a game

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

The NFL informed teams recently that this year’s cutdown deadline to 53 players will be 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 30 — not the following Tuesday, as it has been in recent years, sources say.

Waiver claims will be due at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 31. The season kicks off Sept. 9.

[Tampa Bay Buccaneers @Buccaneers]

We know y'all have been waiting for this one... THE Emeka catch 😮‍💨

[Russell Brown @RussNFLDraft]

I love Jack Campbell because he’s real. Don’t think there’s many players are saying what he’s saying.

“I already have more than enough.” #OnePride

[Will Burchfield @burchie_kid]

Jack Campbell: "For me, I don’t need to be the highest paid (LB), even though the guys around the league would probably appreciate that because it bumps up everything — so I’m sorry to them.

“I want to help the team in any way possible continue to keep the core together."
