Summary
The Draft Room is back with a full breakdown of two pro days that had scouts buzzing — Oregon and Arkansas State — plus a deep dive on one of the most compelling late-round backs in the 2026 class.
- Emmanuel Pragnan put on a show in Eugene — 32 bench reps, a 7.73 three-cone, and individual meetings with the Cowboys, Vikings, Bengals, Texans, and Seahawks. The consensus No. 2 guard is climbing back toward early Day 2, and the Packers are paying attention to his Oregon linemate Alex Harkey as a versatile rotational target.
- Corey Rucker was the undisputed headliner at Arkansas State — the Sun Belt's all-time receiving leader wasn't even invited to the Combine, but a 4.38 40 and dominant position drills have scouts scrambling to fill their Top 30 visit calendars. Green Bay was in the building.
- The deep dive focuses on Noah Whittington — the Oregon workhorse who brings Bucky Irving-level vision and contact balance, elite ball security over 523 career carries, and special teams versatility. The turf toe kept him off the field in Jonesboro, but the film doesn't lie.
- Medical flags, pro comps, scheme fit, and where Whittington lands on the big board at nfldraftgrades.com — it's all covered.

| 1:47.4 | although he is, according to this, slightly rising back up the board. So he's kind of hovering in |
