Sealey laid out his projected first round for 2026 fantasy drafts, opening with Bijan Robinson followed by three wide receivers, then a tier of running backs, and closing with Rashee Rice, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Omarion Hampton. He also called Saquon Barkley a buy-low.
“I actually go Bjon Robinson, and then my next three are all wide receivers with Puka Nakua, Jackson Smith and Jigba and Jamar Chase.”

“I actually go Bjon Robinson, and then my next three are all wide receivers with Puka Nakua, Jackson Smith and Jigba and Jamar Chase... so all four of this are running backs at Jamiir Gibbs... push him down to six... Jonathan Taylor is so quickly everybody forgot... a chan... So James Cook is at number nine for me... And then I come back to wide receiver Rashi Rice and mon Ron Saint. Brown is my double tap here... and then I finished it out with a Marion Hampton.”
