About this episode
NFL executives weighed in on the 2026 Draft's top 10 — and the results are messier than anyone expected. Ryan breaks down the Athletic's executive mock draft, where four front-office insiders couldn't even agree past pick three, and the debate over Cam Mendoza at one is more unsettled than the consensus wants you to believe. Executive Mock Breakdown: All four execs lock in Mendoza-Reese-Bailey in the top three, but picks four through ten feature wildly divergent opinions — including two executives who had Keldrick Falk going to Tennessee in the top five, a pick the rest of the industry thinks is laughable. Jeremiah Love Rising: Connor Rogers floats the possibility that Love doesn't make it to the typical 7-9 range, with the Titans, Cardinals, and Giants all in play as potential landing spots earlier than expected. Combine Analytics — Defense Wraps Up: Ryan finishes Kevin Cole's Unexpected Points modeling series, covering linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties. The takeaway: teams are overvaluing measurables that barely correlate to NFL success, especially at linebacker and corner — with Sunny Styles, Jalen Kilgore, and Lorenzo Styles among the names most affected. Caller Drew from Green Bay opens the show with an intriguing scenario — could Kyler Murray's release push Arizona to trade up to one, and would Vegas actually listen?
