The Ringer NFL Show
Mocking the Top 10 Picks in the 2026 NFL Draft!

How productive is he going to be based off the tape that we've seen coming out of college?

The Ringer NFL Show

Again, this is another player that everything he does on tape, it feels like you can just draw a line directly to what is going to be on the edge at the next level.

Thank you.

And then the fit to me between he and Robert Sala and the way that they like to play defense, right?

They love those guys who can get in a four-point stance, line up, set edges in the run game and be a power rusher, really crushing pockets and allowing him to play those two deep or those soft zone shells behind it.

Reuben Bain is the kind of edge you go get that allows you to play that style of football.

So I just think that the synergy there between player play style and what I think we're going to get from Tennessee defensively, I think it checks all those boxes.

Getting his guys, right?

I do think it's really scheme dependent, right?

It's the reason why David Bailey for me is towards the back end of the top 10 and not going here to Tennessee because it was something that I considered.

But you think about a the way that you know that that Robert Sala, as I mentioned, how he wants to play defensively.

You think about what the body type is like in a David Bailey.

I don't think that it's as extreme as like Chop Robinson coming into the league where I was like, OK, this is a guy that.

is never going to be at the point of attack because he's just not going to give you a lot of heft when it comes to setting edges.

This is not necessarily some Max Crosby blowing up every run.

The Ringer NFL Show

He's going to be able to freelance out on the edge and still get in the right spot because he's just so twitchy and has such great instincts when it comes to run stopping.

But to me, I think that if you're asking me to stack it overall, I would say still Reese is number one because the ceiling is so high.

I would say Bane is number two because you do get a very polished repertoire.

I think that what you've seen over the last season, really last two seasons, should give you a lot of encouragement for what he can be as a football player.
