2026 Draft: EDGE

The data that Manx posted above just highlight how much Bain sucks and should probably drop into the late 20s. Please
Interesting thing about that. Almost all the prospects had 250-350 pass rush snaps. Bain and Mesidor? Over 500 each!
 
Would you take him at 31?

No way he's still on the board by pick 63 IMO.
DDS will be there at 63.

Lots of other players with late 1st/2nd round grades.
 
I hope so.
 
Bryan Thomas Jr, S Carolina, 6013, 245lbs, 31" arms

We met with him at his pro day.

Just watching his highlight tape, not super impressed with him as an out and out edge rusher although he did have 7 sacks and 38 pressures which is decent. I'm very impressed with his effort and initial burst though. I wouldn't mind him as a blitzing linebacker, don't love him as an EDGE only. He was at the Shrine game so he's not off the radar NFL wise.

 
OK I'm sold on Jacas. Violent, physical, plays with full on intensity and effort. I don't know if he's getting many one-on-one wins but any OT will know they've been in a battle against Jacas. Plus his first step looks good.

Joint second on my board with Malachi Lawrence. He's not a day2/3 prospect at all as the tweet lists him as.

Wonder if he could be a guy who could develop from being a ST into a Sub-LB.. Bring him in on 3rd downs.. Have him Blitz/Rush.

How is he against the run?? Is he instinctive in terms of hitting the correct holes?
