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.
