2026 Watch List

"with what we're hearing about their thoughts on the EDGE group"

Has anyone heard anything about the team's thoughts on the EDGE group?

 
Ok, I'll bite. What are they hearing?

I have to say, Vrabel looks like be could in play for a starting EDGE rusher position. Guy is a truck.

The inference is that we’re hearing that the team doesn’t feel good about the edge group. I haven’t heard that and I’m just asking if anyone has.
 
I don't like the EDGE options at 31.

I think Mesidor is worthy of #31 but is unlikely to be available.

I think DDS is worthy of 31 but will be unlikely to go top 40.

I do not think TJ Parker, Zion Young, Malachi Larence or Gabe Jacas are worth taking at 31. I have them all in the 40-64 range.

I'm afraid we disagree on DDS. I have Parker, Jacas and Lawrence quite a ways ahead of him.
 
Interesting top-10 positional list from Blogging the Boys:


A lot of my favorite guys are way down on the list:

WR: Chris Bell at 8, Ted Hurst does not make the top 10
RB: Mike Washington at 3, Adam Randall at 10
TE: Sam Roush at 6, Oscar Delp does not make list
OT: No Travis Burke in top 10
IOL: No Keagan Trost or Micah Morris

DT: No Jordan Van den Berg or DaMonte Capehart
EDGE: Malachi Lawrence 10, no Gabe Jacas, DDS, Derrick Moore or Keyron Crawford
LB: Jake Golday at 5, Kyle Louis 8, Kaleb Elarms-Orr 9
S: VJ Payne 10, no Treydan Stukes!
CB: No Devin Moore, Julian Neal, Tacario Davis, CJ Demmings, or Ephesians Prysock
 
Updated top 200 from Robby Esch at The Huddle Report:


If the draft followed his board:

31. Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona St. (38)
63. Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn St. (66). Miss out on Ted Hurst, Treydan Stukes, Mike Washington and Kyle Louis.
95. Sam Roush, TE, Stanford (104). Miss out on Devin Moore.
125. De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss (144)
131. VJ Payne, S, Kansas St. (182)
171. CJ Demmings, CB, Stephanie F. Austin (181)
191. Adam Randall, RB, Clemson (194)

Players not listed in the top 200 who could be potential picks at 198, 204, 212 and 247:

- DT Jordan Van den Berg
- LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr
- Slot WR Eli Heidenreich and Cyrus Allen
- IOL Micah Morris

That would be OT, IOL, WR, slot, TE and RB on offense; DT, EDGE, LB, S and CB on defense. All 11 players from my 35-man short board.
Micha Morris would be a major steal if he was taken in the 7th round.. Because I honestly believe he's one of those that will be long term starter when he finally get his chance.

I am so excited about those 4 6th round picks. We could get potential starters out of those:

- RB Adam Randall
- IOL Micah Morris
- Slot WR Eli Heidenreich
- DT Jordan Van den Berg

The list goes on and on. These are all very exciting players to me.

4th round guys will slip into the 6th round.
