The Panthers drafting Trevor Etienne.

Dowdle took over the backfield by mid-October.

after monster performances in Week 5 against Miami, where he ran 23 times for 206 yards and a touchdown, and then a revenge game against Dallas one week later.

30 carries, a buck 83, he caught four passes for 56 yards, and he had a receiving touchdown.

Quite a little run there in Week 5 and 6.

had 130 yards and two scores against the Packers later on in the season, another Panthers win.

And hypothetically here, he wouldn't be the guy that has to be the man in Pittsburgh.

He wasn't really asked to do that, though, his final season with the Cowboys or his lone season with the Panthers either.

But if Kenny G books it for greener pastures, if he sees some dollar signs in his future, I think Dowdle would be an attractive name to take his place for only six, six and a half million bucks per season.

Number four is John Simpson.

This isn't a sexy pick.

Offensive line rarely is.

But the Steelers are likely losing Isaac Sayamalu after a few seasons as the tribal chief of the offensive line.

And that Steelers offensive line has gotten better.

They continue to carry a lot of potential going into 2026, but they definitely got better in the back half of 25.

And there's an opportunity here to get younger and possibly better in free agency.

Sayamalu was a scary figure.

Looked like he would fit right into the WWE bloodline.

But at 32 years old and battling injuries, I think the Steelers are in an okay spot to let him walk.

They have a crew that is very solid and young on the right side from Frazier to McCormick to Faltano.
