Based on everything I’ve read, I expect the Steelers to draft an OT, QB, WR, and possibly a LB/edge.

Here in the Dayton, OH area and I expect Columbus, the ABC TV affiliate has preempted all other TV programming from 7-8 PM to preview/predict OSU draft prospects/position taken in lead up to NFL draft. Anything like that happening in other markets?

25 ounces it’s not that crazy
I agree, but… There should be a 12-ounce option too. My wife and I went to my first Flyers game in a couple years recently and the only options were these 24-ouncers. I got a beer, she got a seltzer, $68 with the default tip (which I could have modified but didn’t feel like dicking around with).

If I'm a Giants fan I'm not thrilled--did they fill any need?
From what I saw, the Giants fans at the venue, who can be counted upon to boo a bad pick, were overjoyed. Your guess is as good as mine.

You never know--hard to judge a draft--I just don't understand how they didn't go Styles then Downs but...Downs in now in Dallas so we'll see if that comes back to haunt them

Ohio State had a woeful season considering the talent being drafted in the 1st round. Geez. And they will just use the draft results to recruit.

I'm not the only one questioning NYG but we'll see
What in the world are the Giants doing? They initially drafted a developmental player over an explosive receiver to potentially be an edge rusher, which they don’t need, and now they drafted a tackle, which they also don’t need, and yet that tackle may not be able to play this year because of a back injury. New York had loads of potential entering the 2026 NFL Draft and squandered it.
