The 2026 NFL Draft Take Purge

About this episode

The episode features wild predictions and discussions about the 2026 NFL Draft, including potential strategies and team futures.

The Take Purge is back. The guys empty the notebook with their wildest 2026 NFL draft takes: Should prospects tank the combine on purpose, are the Giants headed for disaster, should the Raiders pass on a QB at no. 1, and which sleepers could become stars? Zero accountability, maximum chaos, and the kind of draft brain that hits only in April.
