Singleton TEN 165 (5)

There goes Singleton at 5-25 (#165 overall) to the Titans.

Feels like a great situation for him. Their running back room is not great.

Yeah--an aging Pollard and Michael Carter--there's an opportunity there

Feel bad for Nussmeier--going this much later than Beck, Allar and even Cade is surprising

Philly takes Cole Payton...curious to see how they use him (Nussmeier might be devastated now)

The NFL is pushing the international stuff really hard on this TV broadcast. It's kind of obnoxious. I find a lot of the broadcast fairly obnoxious, which is reminding me why I don't usually watch. I only watched this season because it was in Pittsburgh.

Oh, and there goes Zane Durant with the last pick of the 5th round to the Buffalo Bills.

Zane Durant to the Bills with the last pick in the 5th

It's no worse than listening to guys like Matt Millen rambling--but, yeah, just announce the picks and show highlights--the other stuff is annoying. That said--I've watched like 11 hours of coverage so far and will likely watch 3+ more lol

 

[KingLando]

Cleveland takes another QB not named Nussmeier--Taylen Green (Arkansas)

There goes Kaytron Allen at Pick 6-6 (#187 overall) to the Washington Commanders.

Both backs landed in good spots to make a team and possibly play

I’m a bit surprised to see Singleton go before Allen, but the NFL loves speed.

He can block and catch. The NFL loves that.

 

[BobPSU92]

Also very true.

Here is the final tally of the number of RBs drafted by round, last year and this year. Exactly half as many this year. 13 vs 26.

Round	2025	2026
1	2	2
2	3	0
3	1	1
4	6	2
5	4	3
6	4	2
7	6	3

 

[Efejle]

Zero Penn State wide receivers drafted.

There goes Kaytron Allen at Pick 6-6 (#187 overall) to the Washington Commanders.

Lion Jim is happy.

 

[KingLando]

So Nussmeier has to either be a medical issue or a character issue...right? Surprised the Saints didn't take him just to end the suffering. Good spot with KC though

 

[LB99]

PSU with 8 guys drafted.

[LionJim]

Diego Pavia undrafted.

 

[SleepyLion]

Zero Penn State wide receivers drafted.

 

[BobPSU92]

Zero Penn State wide receivers drafted.

Did we have any?

 

[LMTLION]

Diego Pavia undrafted.

This is wrong…

 

[KingLando]

This is wrong…

Yeah, it's wrong. Diego went from the loveable underdog to an entitled...I'll let others finish that with whatever word they want
If he's willing to play safety someone will give him a look. He's not talented enough to be an NFL QB at 5'10"--not many have ever been

 

[KingLando]

Sorry missed the UDFA thread

 

[LMTLION]

Pretty funny…

 

[LionJim]

So Wisconsin had zero players drafted? Dang. Last year Wisconsin had nobody drafted until the seventh round, two players drafted total.
