Draft Room: Big Citrus Pulls Up at 35 Yards — And the NFC North Still Can't Look Away

Draft Room: Big Citrus Pulls Up at 35 Yards — And the NFC North Still Can't Look Away

Episode 52 Published 2 days, 16 hours ago
Description

The Draft Room is back and catching up on everything that piled up during the brief hiatus — and there's a lot to get to, Pack Nation.

Ryan leads off with Dominique Orange ("Big Citrus"), who held a private workout attended by 10 teams — including your Green Bay Packers — and showed elite lateral movement before pulling up with hamstring tightness at the 35-yard line. Is he a Day 2 lock? And just how serious is the NFC North's trench arms race?

Then it's a full tour of the draft landscape:

  • Defensive Tackle: Peter Woods disappoints at his Pro Day; Xavian Harris goes under the knife and craters to a late-round grade
  • Offensive Tackle: The Fano vs. Maui Noah debate at the top, Caden Proctor emerging as a potential left tackle solution for the Lions, and why the Chiefs may hold the key to the whole board
  • Cornerback: Mansoor Delane drops a 4.38 at LSU's Pro Day, erasing speed concerns — could he go as early as Pick 7?
  • Tight End: The class is in trouble. Max Claire, Joe Royer, and Michael Trigg all raise red flags — with Trigg drawing serious character concerns after a lackluster showing and a troubling track record
  • Quarterback: Why Cam Ward skipping the Combine was actually a high character move — and why the Raiders aren't flinching at Pick 1

Plus, Ryan breaks down intel from Jordan Schultz suggesting 2026 could be one of the most trade-heavy drafts in recent memory — and what that means for teams looking to move up or down in Round 1.

Ryan also gives an update on nfldraftgrades.com — his deep-cut draft guide covering prospects, team notes, and the latest news — now co-built with his son, who may be making his on-air debut soon to break down prospects and Packers fits.
