Dwaine Board· Apr 3, 2026

Board expects edge rushers TJ Parker and Zion Young to be available in the second or late third round, and would trade down to take one of them rather than draft Cassius Howell.

“And those two guys, I think, they're sitting right where the 40 nines need them because they're gonna be in the lower, in well, the second round, lower third round.”
