Cowboys 2026 draft: Top first-round edge defenders in the draft
"Bain Jr. is Miami's built-in chaos button off the edge, playing with low pads, heavy hands, and a first step that jolts tackles before they settle, with enough size to kick inside and handle guards on passing downs. He wins with leverage, torque, and a relentless motor that turns pressures into drive-killers, and he sets a sturdy edge for a guy his size."
"Where Bain has issues with wingspan, Faulk does not have that problem. At 6'6" and 285 pound with a jarring long-arm, sturdy run fits, and enough quickness to push the pocket or bat throws, Faulk is an absolute menace. Faulk brings prototype length and trench power. He wins first contact with a heavy long-arm and sets a firm edge without giving ground."
Bain Jr. creates chaos off the edge with low pads, heavy hands, and a first step that jolts tackles, plus enough size to kick inside and handle guards. He wins with leverage, torque, and a relentless motor that turns pressures into drive-killers, but shorter arm length and limited wingspan allow longer tackles to stall him and he can overrun contain. Faulk measures 6'6" and 285 pounds with long arms, trench power, and inside-out versatility; he consistently wins first contact and sets a firm edge, though inconsistent production (29 tackles, five TFL, two sacks) is a concern. Bailey is a Stanford transfer who piled up 13.5 sacks.
