Excellent job Leo; glad you took the time to research it and post it. I know these lists are tough to comb through!

Niki Prongos Stanford -- some draft geeks claim this player could be a "boom or bust" type -- possible first round pick or nowhere close. Supposedly a total athletic freak.

Tight end class seems to be awfully thin. As poster Jimmy Chitwood noted in another thread, where did all the White tight ends go? Hope there are some talented juniors waiting in the "wings".

Offensive tackle group looks very good. Siereveld, Prongos, Smith and Lauck have all been "mocked" as potential first round picks. And, as always, you can expect a few more "lunch pal" types will eventually emerge. Nice crew for the guards, also! Kid from Minnesota is a beast. Guards being mentioned as 1st rounders is rare, but he has been frequently.

Awesome safety and cornerback class. But much more than 5 should be on the SB 300. You kidding me, have they ever watched Nestor, Zachman and Connors play?

Lots of draft "experts" were really pumping up Auburn DT Cody Sigler. Still are, but the new official group "compliant" is he's too short. Same size as Aaron Donald, but????.....Perhaps he's the new Kyle Williams? Dropped to round 5 because he was "too short", then made 6 Pro Bowls with the Buffalo Bills. 6 Pro Bowls? Had he done that for Dallas, he'd be a lock for the Hall of Fame! Landino of Indiana is just a junior, so him being on the list is a plus. Don't sleep on Hjelle from Indiana <excellent link ...Indy had serious competition to land him in the Portal.

I could go on and on, but limited time. Again, thanks for the effort

Wanted to add a few points. No matter how black supremacist the college football landscape is, ourlads is even more black supremacist. Here’s their final tight end rankings before the 2026 Draft:

Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon (black)
Eli Stowers, Vandy (a mix)
Michael Trigg, Baylor (black)
Max Klare, Ohio State
Tanner Koziol, Houston
Justin Joly, NC State (black)
Jack Endries, Texas
Dallen Bentley, Utah
Eli Raridon, Notre Dame
Joe Royer, Cincinnati

Force-feeding Trigg does not make him a superior talent to Endries, Raridon, etc. I did not watch Vandy. No Marlin Klein on their list.

Every season you can expect 5, 6, 7 blacks to be force-fed. Not all that many college coaches utilize White tight ends proficiently in the redzone.

Good point. It does seem like the P.T.B. are pushing more black TE's, as the position probably became too White dominated in recent years.

This year is much like 2025, as we are seeing black TE's on top of almost all draft ranking lists, as if they mean anything this early?

It's sort of easy to manipulate these positions, with the reality of racial stacking in football?

AI Overview

Yes, racial stacking occurs in football when players are sorted into specific positions based on racial stereotypes rather than their individual skill

I'm not going to post anymore A.I. bull regarding "racial stacking in football", as it's rigged to cry about the lack of black quarterbacks

Stacking For Whites:

White RB, WR and DB stars in high school, if recruited at all, are usually moved due to stacking.

Smaller White RB's and DB's are usually moved to "slot receiver"

Bigger White WR's are usually bulked up considerably and moved to tight end.

Bigger White RB's and DB's are bulked up and moved to inside linebacker, or possibly TE.

So, if the P.T.B. (powers that be) want more black TE's, they simply start "stacking" (moving) their very generously graded "5 star" black defensive ends and outside linebackers at tight end. They can also force taller black wide receivers to bulk up a lot and play TE, as they do with most Whites.

Did TE become way too White, suddenly? Either way, don't expect things to change much. 2017, top of the draft at TE was pretty much all black (O.J. Howard leading the way), but it was/still is George Kittle (5th round) who is by far the best in the class and probably heading to the Hall of Fame.
