In this episode of The Kevin Sheehan Show, Kevin dives into the uncertainty surrounding the 2026 NFL Draft, particularly focusing on Washington's No. 7 pick. With seven different players mocked to the Commanders in just a week’s time—including Jeremiah Love, Carnell Tate, Sonny Stiles, and Caleb Downs—Kevin emphasizes the lack of consensus among analysts and oddsmakers. He highlights the growing narrative around a deep center class, sparked by a conversation with guest Cole Kublik, who claims there could be seven or more NFL-ready starting centers in this draft. Kevin explores Parker Brailsford of Alabama as a potential fit for Washington, citing his elite RAS score (8.65) and athleticism, especially in zone schemes. Logan Paulson joins to discuss his top 100 board, favoring Jeremiah Love as the top player but cautioning against taking a running back so high unless truly elite. He also praises the depth at cornerback and edge, and reveals his late-round favorites like Robert Spears Jennings and Jacob Rodriguez. The episode blends draft analysis with sponsor segments and calls for listener engagement.
Washington may be targeting a center from the 2026 draft, with Parker Brailsford emerging as a top candidate due to elite athleticism and RAS score.
The 2026 draft class is exceptionally uncertain at the top, with no consensus on who will be selected at No. 7.
Logan Paulson ranks Jeremiah Love as his top player, citing his consistency, explosiveness, and route-running ability.
There is a strong argument for taking the best player available over positional value this year, especially with weak positions like running back and offensive guard.
Parker Brailsford’s 8.65 RAS score places him in the top 10% of all centers in NFL draft history, making him a high-value late pick.
The Draft Uncertainty at No. 7
“Within a week of the draft, literally nobody knows anything. The mock drafters, and I'll add to that, the reporters that cover the NFL, they're all over the place. Nobody has a clue.”
Odds and the Center Class Revelation
“There might be seven. Hell, there might be eight NFL starting centers in this draft. And none of them are probably going to get taken in the first two rounds.”
Parker Brailsford: The Elite Center Prospect
“His relative athletic score based on the 2026 Indy Combine testing was 8.65 out of 10. That places him in the top 10% all time for centers.”
Logan Paulson’s Top 100 Board and Draft Strategy
Logan Paulson joins to discuss his top 100 board, explaining the process behind its creation and his belief that positional value is less important this year. He ranks Jeremiah Love as his top player and discusses trade-back scenarios.
The Running Back Debate: Love vs. Value
Kevin and Logan debate whether Washington should take a running back like Jeremiah Love at No. 7. Kevin expresses skepticism about taking a back that high unless he’s truly elite, while Logan praises Love’s consistency and explosiveness.
“His relative athletic score based on the 2026 Indy Combine testing was 8.65 out of 10. That places him in the top 10% all time for centers.”
“There might be seven. Hell, there might be eight NFL starting centers in this draft. And none of them are probably going to get taken in the first two rounds.”
“I'm not taking a running back at seven unless I know he's truly going to be special.”
