Summary

Garret and Andrew break down the biggest “survivors” from the 2026 NFL Draft, highlighting veterans whose roles stayed clean when many managers expected their teams to add real competition. If your league is still overvaluing rookie picks, this is the window to trade for proven production before summer pricing kicks in. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The list starts with Chase Brown, who dodged the exact type of Day 2 back that could have threatened a true feature workload. Then the focus shifts to Cam Skattebo, another back who avoided the nightmare scenario, keeping a clear path to touches in a room that already fits what he does best. At receiver, Josh Downs benefits from a depth chart that stayed quiet in the draft, setting up a target-friendly season in the middle of the field. The Chiefs not adding meaningful wide receiver competition keeps Rashee Rice positioned as a volume-driven centerpiece when healthy, even if the offseason noise never stops. Jacksonville passing on RB additions creates a cleaner runway for Bhayshul Tuten, while Tampa’s draft keeps Rachaad White alive as a practical contender play in PPR formats. The big sneaky call is Oronde Gadsden, whose situation stayed open enough to flirt with top tier tight end outcomes if the target tree cooperates. The episode closes with David Montgomery as a pure win-now buy, a short-window volume bet that can outscore the mid-second rookie tier when you are chasing a title. Start Using the ⁠Film Room ⁠Today!

Yes, the 26th draft is over and we all have a huge sigh of relief.

0:04.8

And there's some players that have a huge sigh of relief as well because they saved a bunch of trade value in this draft.

0:14.4

There were some worries and there always are some worries about some guys losing some jobs during the NFL draft or the room getting super

0:22.1

crowded. And look, there were still plenty of that in the NFL draft this year. But these are

0:26.4

some players that survived that wave. And now we're saying, I think I might want to trade for some

0:32.7

of these players. The risk is gone. And now I'm a little more interested. So we could get right into things here.

0:40.0

But Andrew, overall, are there – would you say there's more players that you're like,

0:47.0

oh, they gained value in this process or lost value in this process?

0:50.9

Or was it kind of net neutral?

0:53.1

It does feel kind of net neutral i mean you kind of got

0:55.5

a sift through it for me to find the players that are gaining value or maybe have not as much

1:01.0

competition as we initially thought we're going to be coming into some of these rooms whether that

1:04.6

be the wide receiver room or the running back room but uh it does feel a little bit net neutral the

1:09.1

positive thing i guess about this whole thing,

1:12.2

if you want to go half glass full approach, is when you do have a rookie draft that disappoints us a

1:18.0

little bit from a landing spot perspective or disappoints us from a talent perspective or a draft

1:22.3

capital perspective is it does mean a lot of our fantasy relevant options that are already drafted already in the

1:28.3

NFL do dodge quite a bit of landmines. So, you know, that is the glass half full approach with

1:34.2

this is maybe the rookies aren't as exciting as we wanted, but we did save a lot of value over on the

1:38.7

other side of this. Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. Let's go ahead and get right into things then.

1:44.0

Andrew, why don't you give us the first guy that you have on your list that you're like,

1:47.4

you know what? I think I might be more interested in training this for this player.
