Every top player lists take
226–250 of 377
Arbel Rees is my number one edge, followed by Bailey and Bain. All of them very, very tight because Reiss is such a projection.
for ME i Have tate number, One lemon, Two tyson, three but they are so tightly bunched in my rankings
Top fifty review... I got Mendoza one. Jeremiah loved two styles... Bailey stayed at my top edge. He's four. Five is rvel Reese... and we finish it up with Antonio Williams receiver from Clemson, Chase Pisantis interior lineman from A and M, and then the last but not least, Jeremy Bernard from Alabama.
he's my second player. There's only one more spot for him to go... I probably just stick with the quarterback at this point in time with Mendoza... I had him as my fortieth player come out of the combine.
Who's your number one? Terrell Terrell. Avion Terrell.

That's my stack real quick. Okay. Let's see. Best players in the draft. Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Jeremiah Love, Ruben Bain, David Bailey, Mansour Delaine, Francis, Maui Noah, Jermoud McCoy. Joe well, we'll talk about Jordan. Yeah. We might have to move Jordan Tyson a little ... Just tear down the first nine.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Mar 3, 2026 - PendingDLLS Dallas Cowboys (podcast)Top Player Lists
Because I would take Delaine at twelve. Terrell at twenty, we both would say absolutely... I have him as my third corner... that's my three players.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Mar 3, 2026 So he has Mendoza one, which is aggressive, but fine. Jeremiah Love is two. Reese is third. Bailey's four. Tate's five. Downs, Styles, Tyson, Bane. K. First tackle, Malagua, 10. Fano, 12. Freeling, 19, Lomu out of Utah, 21, and Procter's not even on this thing.
He was number five on my top five list at tight ends. ... Your number two tight end, right, Dallen Bentley from Utah
he's my second overall player... I think he's my fifth overall player.
He is my number one defensive tackle in this league... The other guy was Lee Hunter. My number one and number two tackles at this point.
LG Crumpler is probably the best tight end that I had... And then I'll take Bubba Franks. We'll be the next one... There was a guy that I hadn't mentioned, Wesley Walls... And then, probably Mark Jamora would be the fourth one.
If Jeremiah loves there, I think the second best player in the draft a chance to get a cheap, blue chip caliber player.
So I have Bailey first. I think he's the most polished of the pass rushers... Reese has the most in his body, the most upside there... So I say that as him and the third rusher
I think the good players avam is Malinoi's my twelfth player, Final is my fourteenth player.
Jeremiah Love's my number one overall player. He's a running back.
Carnel Tait is still the top dude for me, Bucky, and then I think at this point I've got like Jordan Tyson up there, and then probably Omar and then mackay Lemon is kind of the way that I'm I'm viewing it right now.
Fernando Mendoza perceived number one overall pick, number one player in this draft from DJ's Top fifty ranking... one of which was Zion Young, who debuts at number forty seven on this list... Omar Cooper... debuts at number nineteen
You put out your, top 50 draft prospects ... you've got Fernando Mendoza one, and Jeremiah Love is your second best prospect ... Why do you have, Reese three and David Bailey four?
Rosenthal reads out his entire top 101 free agents of 2026 list, from Malik Willis at No. 1 down to Jadeveon Clowney at No. 101.
I have four guys in my top ten overall right now. I have Jalen Phillips actually ahead of Trey Hendrickson... Phillips I have third overall. Hendrickson's just behind them
I have him as my top safety head of cam Curl, Kobe Bryant of the Seahawks, and Nick Kross, who's a good player for the Colts.
Jalen Watson is a guy who's just steadily improved... I ended up putting him on the top.
Well, obviously, five is JJ slash Penix... I'll go Knicks four, Jaden Daniels three because I don't know what he's gonna look like coming back... I'll go May 2, and I'll go Caleb one.
So I think I go lemon. Then I go carnal Tate... Jordan Tyson is the smoothest, prettiest route runner... But I think that's how I'd stack them right now.
