2026 Draft: EDGE

Mason Reiger who was the best edge rusher at the Shrine Bowl, has had six surgeries on the same knee. Jusy something to bear in mind before including him in your mocks.
With that many surgeries, it will always be an issue.
 
I'm gonna say maybe he had some personal (he got married in October) distractions.
 
Nadame Tucker will be 26 at the start of next season but he is the second best pass rusher, only to David Bailey. In fact, if you account using pass rush win rate, he heads Bailey.

His size isn't great at 6'1 3/4", 246lbs, 32" arms

However his production was excellent

14 sacks
61 pressures
40.8% true pass set win rate (Bailey - 38.6)

In the right situation it's a risk I'd be willing to take.
 
Keldric Faulk is starting to get a little bit of Patriots chatter which I think might grow.

I do think this is a worrying comp for him though.

Nothing in that comp about attitude/motor on or off the field.
 
I feel like we're sleeping on R Mason Thomas. There's a guy who's motor is always on!
 
Dane Brugler on Keyron Crawford

"It was hard to talk to a scout about Faulk without them bringing up Crawford. Obviously that says a lot about him".

"The effort is non-stop, he competes his butt off...which will speak directly to NFL teams".

Says top 4 rounds which means another potential 'value' pick is gone.

I like him quite a bit, but have been seeing him projected in the top 50 and that is too rich for me. He has had high ankle sprains each of the last 2 seasons, so that makes me think he has ligament laxity issues. Vrabel is not a fan of recurring soft tissue problems, so I can't see him being drafted by us.
