The 2026 running back class is the worst in ten years

One of the teams I talked to, this is the worst running back draft in 10 years. In the last five years, on average there have been 21 running backs get drafted. The highest number I got for draftable players from a team was eight, one of them was six. There's no backs.

Daniel Jeremiah claimed the 2026 running back class would be the worst in 10 years, with teams projecting 6-8 draftable players compared to an average of 21. The 2026 NFL Draft saw 13 running backs selected, which is significantly lower than the 21-player average, supporting the assessment of a weak class, even though it exceeded the lowest projections.

I'm officially excited for the future of the 76ers core featuring V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey

I'm excited for the future of the 76ers after watching V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in that game. V.J. Edgecombe is insane—youngest player in NBA history to go for 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game. He's a beast and he's 19 years old.

The player V.J. Edgecombe is a real top prospect, and the scenario of him being a 76er is a future projection in this 'time travel' episode.

The Celtics are going to win this series in five games

The Celtics are gonna win this series in five.

The Celtics lost this series — the 76ers won despite being heavy underdogs. Max's prediction was incorrect.

The NBA suspended Paul George just so he could take better steroids

Memes has a take that they suspended [Paul George] so he could take better steroids. If memes' theory is correct, they suspended him and they're like, 'Hey, you're taking the wrong stuff. Take some better juice.'

This is a satirical conspiracy theory that cannot be factually proven.

AJ Brown will be a New England Patriot next year

The AJ Brown to New England is just—I mean, everybody in the league's thought this is, you know, whether or not it's done or not. But the expectation from everybody that I talked to is that he'll be a Patriot next year.

This depends on off-season transactions in 2026.

It's 90-95% likely Shedeur Sanders goes second overall to Cleveland

The way it was kind of put to me is like, I feel, you know, 90, 95% sure that it's Bailey, but I know I've been throwing this long enough that if it's not a hundred percent, it's not a hundred percent. So it feels like it's Bailey at two. But when we're on the clock and we're on the set there, we don't know for sure if that's Bailey or not.

Shedeur Sanders was not taken #2 overall by Cleveland — he fell significantly in the 2026 NFL Draft, which was one of the biggest surprises of draft night.

The 2025 NFL Draft class is full of starters but lacks true star power

I've just been saying it's starters not stars... last year we had six quarterbacks... and this year when you've got, you know, Cam Ward seems locked in at one, Travis Hunter seems locked in at two... there's not really that juice there at the top.

This is a long-term assessment of a draft class.
