2026 NFL Draft Preview: Quarterbacks & Tight Ends + Fantasy Impact (w/ Josh Edwards) Our NFL Draft Writer Josh Edwards is back with his thoughts on the 2026 tight ends and quarterbacks. First, we've got some news and notes (2:20) as the Eagles acquired Dontayvion Wicks and the Jaguars are moving Travis Hunter to cornerback full time in 2026 ... Discussing the TEs first (12:20), Josh gives an overview of the position and then we talk about Kenyon Sadiq (15:33). He's a freak athlete, but how does he compare to Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren? Who are the next best TEs (23:36)? One of them is a guy who has had very little production, but huge upside. And we get into Eli Stowers (27:40), Michael Trigg (32:40) and more ... On to the QBs (36:45), what are the Raiders getting in Fernando Mendoza? Should he even be the #1 pick!? How does he compare to Cam Ward? We also spend a lot of time on Ty Simpson (45:35) with the pros and cons plus how much injuries factor into his evaluation. Finally, are there any other QBs (56:03) who might make an impact on your Fantasy team? Don't sleep on Garrett Nussmeier or Cole Payton ...
