On March 19th, here's the latest surrounding the NFL. Mott Draft Season for the 2026 NFL Draft is picking up steam. Analysts like Matt Mayako from NBC Sports Bay Area project the San Francisco 49ers, grabbing Indiana-wide receiver Omar Cooper to add a dynamic, playmaker. They see him as a perfect match for their offense, much like current star Debo Samuel. Earlier this week, breakdowns highlighted Cooper's versatility and big playability, drawing direct comparisons to Samuel's style. Other experts are diving into top-wide receiver prospects, questioning if Cooper lives up to the growing hype around his skills. Fans and pundits are buzzing about how this could reshape the 49ers receiving core long-term. Meanwhile, teams like the New York Giants are leaning toward offensive tackles and mocks to protect their young quarterback, skipping-wide receivers. For now, post-NFL Combine mocks are shaking things up further. Pics 21-32 show varied strategies with the Washington commanders eyeing Arizona State's Jordan Tyson at number 7,
and the New York Jets debating Arvel Reese at number 2 overall. As free agency looms without franchise tags from the Giants, these projections keep evolving. Expect more twists as teams build toward a stronger 2026 season. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode. Podcast hit different when the sound comes from your pillow.
