The guys rank and review their top ten edge rushers in this years 2026 NFL Draft. They debate Arvell Reese and if he is a top-tier prospect, should age be a factor in dropping a prospect several rounds, and who is the hidden star that no one is talking about? Next, they do a mock draft for the Commanders at #7 before discussing the impossible decision of "best player available" vs "team needs."
