The Shocking Truth Behind Kayden McDonald’s Potential Slide to Pick 36 in 2026 NFL Draft
With the 36th pick, which players would you be willing to trade up for in the 25-35 range and how much would the trade up cost?
A: This has been a popular question recently, as I think I’ve gotten it every week for at least a month! My stance remains the same: Dillon Thieneman is the only guy I feel strongly about trading up for. I know I mentioned Jermod McCoy in the past, but I get the feeling he’s going top 20 after running a sub-4.4 at Tennessee’s pro day. And I like McDonald, but I’m not trading up for a nose tackle in a deep draft class at the position.
I don’t think I’ve dove into how much it would cost to trade back into the mid- to late-20s, though. The Giants gave up their second-rounder (No. 34 overall) and two third-rounders, No. 99 last year and the other is in this year’s draft, to the Texans to move up to 25 and take Jaxson Dart. That’s a net loss of two third-round picks to jump 10 spots up on the draft order. Granted, New York was likely paying the quarterback premium, which Las Vegas won’t have to do next weekend.
If we’re looking at a draft pick value chart (h/t DraftTek), pick 25 is worth 720 points while pick 36 is worth 540 points. So, Las Vegas would have to make up 180 points. That can be done by giving up all three fourths (No. 102, 117 and 134 combine for 191 points) or sending 67 (255 points) and getting something back in return, like a fourth-rounder.
