Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez challenge conventional draft wisdom by ranking safety Caleb Downs in their midseason top 5 for the 2026 NFL Draft. Should elite playmakers trump positional value concerns when building championship rosters?

The hosts break down their complete top 10 prospects, featuring detailed analysis of offensive tackles Spencer Fano and Francis Mauigoa, LSU lockdown cornerback Mansoor Delane, and Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love's three-down versatility. They debate Oregon edge rusher Mateo Uiagalelei's consistency questions and examine Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese's potential as the next Michael Parsons. The episode concludes with perfect prospect pairings, matching Reese to the Dallas Cowboys' physical defense needs and Love to the Cincinnati Bengals as Joe Burrow's offensive weapon.

Discover why these draft analysts believe great football players transcend traditional positional value and which prospects could reshape NFL rosters in 2026.
