Chris Brockman · Apr 28, 2026
Brockman argued the Rams wasted the No. 13 pick on quarterback Ty Simpson and will regret passing on Reuben Bain or Mekhi Lemmon; he also predicted the Eagles trade A.J. Brown after June 1, that Drew Allar will start the most games at QB for the Steelers, that the Browns finish no worse than second in the AFC North, that the Saints avoid picking in the top half of the 2027 draft, that Jeremiah Love leads the NFL in rushing as a rookie, and that the Giants will have the league's most ferocious pass rush in 2026.
“He's gonna be the first rookie running back since Ezekiel Elliott to lead the NFL in rushing yards.”
