What We Learned From The 2026 NFL Draft

Remaining NFL Free Agents, Draft Trends, and Brendan Sorsby

In this episode of The Simon & Friends Podcast, Ben Parker and I hit on a lot of NFL topics! First, we discuss the veteran free agents still mulling decisions on where to play before training camp starts next month. We also discuss teams with the biggest needs and some of the best fits. Then, I did a bit of research on the most common first, second, and third round picks by Super Bowl winners, by position, going back to 2016. So Ben and I discussed that. And finally, we give our brief thoughts on the latest in the Brendan Sorsby situation before discussing which teams are most disappointed they did not get to submit a bid for him in the supplemental draft. Enjoy!

So on the heels of the Patrick Mahomes extension, Myles Garrett record-breaking and DPOY season then TRADE, here's Ben and me re-drafting the 2017 NFL Draft. Enjoy!

2027 NFL Mock Draft Based on Free Agency
