2026 Draft: EDGE

[zimmy]

I don’t read much into that comment, seemed to be playing around. His main focus was speed. I think though that at a lot of the speed rushers are day 2 players. In fact I don’t see many good options at 31 in general at edge. If we trade back to early/mid round 2, that seems their sweet spot.

Mesidor related facts.

I like prospects who are at their best the harder the game is. To that end.

At the start of last season, Miami's two toughest games were against Notre Dame and Florida. Mesidor had 13 pressures and two sacks in those two games alone.

Mesidor had three multi-sack games. One was against Syracuse (so far so ordinary). The other two were against Ohio State and Indiana in the championship game.

A third of Mesidor's pressures came in the playoffs. 23 in total, including 11 against the best pass blocking OL in CFB. He also had 5 sacks in the playoffs.

He's a man that elevates his game, the harder it gets.

I really hate when guys like Crawford are told by agents that they don't need to partake in the full interview process (ie. doing the testing). Crawfor'd College career wasn't so stellar that he could pass it up.

I know Brugler has him in the 2nd round, but he shouldn't be there. Mid 3rd round.

Not a response to the above, pure coincidence.

The PFF "Pass Rushing Productivity" rating measures pressure created on a per snap basis with weighting toward sacks.

9. Zion Young
10. Cashius Howell

Crawford has only been playing football as long as Iheanachor (2021) as he was a basketball guy before that. Like Iheanachor, I do this he's an ascending prospect with his best football ahead of him.
