Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyphen, today I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Coralbeck, and we are going over our way to early rankings for 2026. Totally blind. We didn't look at anything. We just post Super Bowl, just sat down and just were like, who did we take in the first round? We haven't seen each other's rankings. Well, I've seen yours. You guys haven't seen each other's, I don't think.

And yeah, we're all just going to show same time, right? We're going to flash each other with our rankings. Yeah. Actually, though. So I looked at yours. I averaged them, but we're going to just go through. I'm going to tell you who we think blind

we would take in the first round

in this goes drafts.

I love it.

I'm ready for the season.

I'm ready for the season. I'm ready for draft season. I'm already there mentally. Honestly, it was, it is, there's nothing more fun in the entire fantasy football season than creating rankings. Yes. So it is the best. It's fan fiction. So full disclosure, we recorded this Wednesday, February 11th. We're releasing this later. So if there's a ton of NFL news that's happened between now and then we'll talk about it next week because we still have episodes coming out. And then the week after the week you're listening to this, we'll be at the NFL Combines. So stick with us. Draft season, getting going. We're giving you a combine preview and just a bunch of draft stuff from the combine soon trades. We are actively ignoring the fact that the dolphins hired Kevin Petulow

to be their past game coordinator. We're not going to talk about that. That's a choice. What is there to say? Intentional. So, yeah, let's just get into the rankings and who we would take in the first round next year. I think pretty representative. We have number one, we have Jemir Gibbs for the Lions and number two. We have Bijon Robinson. Craig and I have Gibbs first. D.K. is Bijon first. I don't think there's a wrong answer and I could be convinced either way. To be 100% honest, my tiebreaker in my head was that quarterback. Yeah, Michael Penix is coming off a knee reconstruction and it's barely played in the NFL

and that just feels riskier.

I didn't know where this was going to go

because I think this is the first year in a while

where like you could probably give me six guys

that could be the number one pick

and I'd be like, yeah.

Usually it's like one or two guys

maybe three I literally think Gibbs be jean puka jimar chase enjigba and mcalfrey fuck you could

throw on jonathan taylor and i'd be like yeah maybe like there are six or six or seven guys

who all could be number one this is like a a very weird, this is not a good year

to have the number one overall pick, I think.

I think you're right.

Like in terms of would I judge you

if you took this person first?
