Hosts Joe PoZapia, Derek Brown, and Andrew Erickson review updated 2026 NFL Draft needs for every NFC team following free agency moves. The discussion emphasizes defensive fronts, offensive lines, and weapons for young quarterbacks, with priorities shaped by injuries, aging players, cap hits, and roster holes. They note strong draft classes at linebacker, edge, and tackle that align with many teams' gaps.

NFC East Priorities

Dallas Cowboys need linebacker most urgently after poor 2025 performance from Kenneth Murray and Logan Wilson; they target Georgia's CJ Allen due to their linebacker's college ties. Edge, defensive tackle (ahead of Kenny Clark's $22 million cap hit), and cornerback follow, with DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel unproven long-term.

Guard (post-Greg Van Roten), safety (Javon Holland/Tyler Nubin ineffective), and running back (Saquon Barkley's injury history and style) round out needs; they have solid tackles after re-signing Andrew Thomas.
