JP Acosta · Jul 1, 2026
Acosta would move the Commanders and Steelers up a tier, picks the Lions as the up-and-coming line he'd bet on for 2026, and projects the Chargers' interior with Cole Strange at guard and Tyler Beata at center. He also thinks the Buccaneers are most likely to reach the top tier and is excited about the Panthers becoming one of the better units.
“Man, I'm kinda leaning towards the lions here if I'm betting for somebody in 2026.”
