Gregg Rosenthal · May 22, 2026
In a snake-draft ranking of the NFL's top 32 edge rushers projecting for 2026, Rosenthal made picks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32, forming his half of the ranked list. He also predicted Micah Parsons would miss five or six games in 2026 and that Nick Herbig will be paid more with the new coaching staff.
“So we're projecting for twenty twenty six, and injuries have to be a little bit of a factor, So that does change my number two overall pick, and I'm going to take Will Anderson.”
