2026 Draft: EDGE

[OldEngland]

I do like these young guys, 20/21, who played as true freshman, and are team captains, cultural leaders in the locker room. Seems to be a few of them in this draft.

Faulk apparently was using some of his NIL money to help pay for a walk-on's tutition.

Kendrick Faulk aka Keion White 2.0

Maybe, maybe not. But not interested in taking that risk right now.

Just a random thought.

1. There are two edges for which we haven't any reported interest. Jaishawn Barham and Derrick Moore.

2. Lots of speculation we're not looking at EDGE in the first. Recent interest in Gabe Jacas and Malachi Lawrence may argue against that though but bear with me.

3. Moore is ranked 61, Barham 86.

Our second and third picks? I wouldn't hate it. I don't think either are starters any time soon, but they'd make for an awesome 3rd/4th EDGE.

Moore has to rely on power, it's really his only move.
Watch his highlights. he looks slow and very undynamic.
He won't overpower NFL OTs so easily, then he really has no other moves.

Transitioning from college to the Pros with only a Power Bull rush is tough as we learned with Keion White. Moore has more speed and bend than White. Parker might be the best compromise (outside the top guys) as he has some speed, some bend, but still is good defending the run.

It will be interesting how far Barham drops, he has a lot of quickness and is a late bloomer so he has room to grow. I think Barham is a OLB in the NFL (a little small for DE) and the transition might take a bit of time, but if guys like Barham and Kanak fall enough, they are great athletic high upside picks in the 6th or 7th.

That's exactly what I thought when watching Moore, Keion White flashbacks for sure.

Have a hard time seeing Barham last to 95. He goes closer to 63 than he does 95 to me.

I know everyone's board is different, but Barham to me is clearly a better prospect than similarly sized prospects in Romello Height and Joshua Josephs. Both of which are higher on the consensus board. Imo he goes before both, and i wouldnt be surprised to see him be a top 70 pick.

But playing along, if they landed Moore and Barham, Id be ok with it.

C'mon Bert. Be real.

Just saw Andrew Callahan say that a little birdie told him OLB coach Mike Smith, Matt Groh, Eliot Wolf and four other FO staff were at the Auburn pro day. Maybe Keldric Faulk, but I wouldn't mind betting more likely for Keyron Crawford.

Crawford seems like a Vrabel guy.

Could be the other side of the line too as they have 3 OL prospects.

Good point on Jeremiah Wright in particular.

Neither do I.

Neither do I.

I believe you and I were his 2 biggest proponents.
Will be hard to swallow if he turns into a star.

 

[Water Boy]

My totally lazy and likely ill-informed take is that he projects to max out to something resembling Anfernee Jennings with perhaps just a wee bit more juice as a pass rusher.

Who is that? Sutton? I think he could be as good as Judon, honestly.. It all depends on him.
