2026 NFL Draft Flag Plants:
1. D’Angelo Ponds: zero bust potential. Pure football player. Nasty.
2. Cashius Howell: best pure pass rusher in the Draft. 10+ sacks/year. Easy projection.
3. Malachi Lawrence: prototype EDGE. R1 pick for NE makes sense.
@PhilAPerry Enjoyed yesterday’s player ranking’s podcast. Got me thinking about bold predictions. I’ll go with Jared Wilson getting Pro Bowl consideration in Y2. What say you?
NE fits not getting enough attention:
1. CJ Allen: “Middle of the fairway” R1 pick. Jerod Mayo vibes.
2. Keylan Rutledge: nasty SOB, tone-setter.
3. Kayden McDonald: Barmore leverage, Milton Williams enhancer.
4. T.J. Parker: violent edge-setter/motor/upside.
