[Leonardfan]

Putting the over/under at 60 White athletes drafted this year.

* for LB Jacob Rodriguez (mestizo) and OT Caleb Lomu (Tongan/Poly)

Chase Bisontis is not White fyi.

I feel this narrative is recycled every few years.

Contributions To Thin 2026 NFL Draft Class

The 2026 NFL Draft is considered thin, in terms of top-end talent, with NIL's impact in college acting as a significant factor...

Despite it being a supposedly thin draft class I am willing to bet that next week when we tally up the White percentage it still falls between 20-23%. This excuse is just baked in so when NFL teams draft no name, unproductive, random blacks and a few years from now when many of the players failed to make it in the league they can just go back and say it was a bad draft class. No NFL team would dare deviate and draft overlooked, productive White athletes that tested out well would they? Based off my list if the NFL wanted to stop focusing on the melanin talent pool there are around 100 White athletes that could be selected based on college production and athletic testing.

Sadly I’m guessing 20% this year, QB heavy, not much for skill positions

Mark Schlereth joined Whitlock and he had some very un-caste things to say about Mendoza at 1hr 33 minute mark. He praised Mendoza for playing on time and that’s what wins games, he criticized obsession over 40 times and the combine in general over good football players. Schlereth roasted kyler murray for wanting to look good but not win. And around the 1:45 mark he defends Brock purdy and fairly criticizes lamar jackson for his poor playoff performances.

I believe this is going to be a very Black draft. I don't see but 9 or 10 white players going in the first 3 rounds. I pray I am wrong, but I keep looking at the projections, and it doesn't look like more than that. I don't mind being proved wrong.

Great work @Leonardfan and everyone else putting in the work leading up to the draft. I feel pretty informed, just reading what you guys post. Don’t need to rot my brain reading articles from draft-eunuchs that are spending 90% or more of their time hyping up affletes.

The QB preview was especially excellent! Thanks.

Excellent work as always. Leonardfan ! This stuff is like Red meat
Always enjoy this though expectations are not too high

This is very reason why i make the Summer "WR" ; "RB" & "DB" threads annually.
Then Fun to keep up them during the season Weekly Stat lines too.
The Football previews (hard work) y'all do (you organize) is icing on the cake!

How many White DBs get Drafted?? Is FOUR the ceiling since 2000?? Cant remember any more than that.

Have seen DB Dillion Theineman go as High as #18 in one of the latest Mocks
(CF was on em early Freshman AA @ Purdue))

Would be nice to see Navy RB Eli Heidenriech go by Round 4/5 ; he has made some incredible catches WR like ; yet a solid All-purpose Back
Would think Dean Connors worth a look in Later Rounds

Chase Roberts has the making of a big time WR if he can stay healhty.
Kaden Wetjen (Tim Dwight 2.0) could be an NFL ALL PRO Kick/Punt Returner!!

Kinda crazy to think the NBA Draft will likely be Whiter than the NFL Draft
Counted 16 of 60 i think in lastest Mock.

I heard Thieneman to the Vikings, to replace the retired Harrison Smith. Nick Wright says “thanks to Cooper DeJean.” Calls DeJean a super athletic White safety.
