2026 NFL Draft FINAL preview & bold predictions with Dane Brugler + Carnell Tate joins

Nate Tice & The Athletic’s Dane Brugler give their final predictions & favorite player-team fits one week before the 2026 NFL Draft. The duo start by breaking down Dane’s latest mock draft and discussing favorite player-team fits, including the Dallas Cowboys trading up for LB Sonny Styles, EDGE Malachi Lawrence to the Buffalo Bills, CB Jermod McCoy to the Minnesota Vikings and more.

Next, Nate & Dane dive into their final draft predictions, including three of Dane’s favorite guys in entire draft class (including CB Chris Johnson and an interesting sleeper pick at tight end). Dane also gives his bold prediction for the draft: G Chase Bisontis sneaks into round one.
