## More position group finish

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Brent Sobleski on Dallas Cowboys: In their 2027 NFL mock draft, Sobleski has the Cowboys selecting Oregon defensive tackle A'Mauri Washington at No. 21 overall (via the Packers), and considers Washington a first-round talent despite their down season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8cb4e2ee-db0a-4b68-90bf-8ac9f4230349 (not settled)
- Carter Bahns on Jacksonville Jaguars: Bahns ranks all 18 in-season NFL trades by impact, projecting that Kirk Cousins lifts a Super Bowl-contending Vikings offense, Jeffery Simmons transforms Chicago's defense, and Jacksonville's additions push the Jaguars toward the AFC's top seed. They also forecast roles for several acquired players, including Marvin Harrison Jr. sitting low in Houston's receiver pecking order and Daiyan Henley backing up in Denver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b2b66e67-15ca-4915-ad10-1266766d1d9b (not settled)
- Raymond Summerlin on Indianapolis Colts: In their Week 10 waiver wire column, Summerlin makes a handful of role and depth-chart calls alongside their weekly streaming advice: Corey Kiner starting for the Patriots, Chuba Hubbard holding the Panthers' lead job with Jonathon Brooks returning in a complementary role, rookie Carson Beck quarterbacking Arizona the rest of the season, Kyle McCord debuting against the Colts, and the Colts fielding possibly the league's worst offense going forward. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b30c2739-2d6a-4cc8-8d36-3f4be391c986 (not settled)

They also expect Keenan Allen to be only a depth contributor. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/88d18bca-7755-4c32-b503-53868fbdeb0b (not settled)
- Zachary Pereles on Baltimore Ravens: Pereles grades the Brissett trade well for both sides, projecting Brissett as Baltimore's Week 10 starter who gives the Ravens a workable but below-average offense, and identifying the Chargers and Panthers games as winnable. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/883b3e26-6021-4fe9-bc77-d8daec04922c (not settled)
- Jordan Dajani on Chicago Bears: In a set of bold predictions for the 2026 season, Dajani picked Joe Burrow for MVP, Liam Coen for Coach of the Year, the defending champion Seahawks to miss the playoffs, and the Bears to win Super Bowl LXI. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4b3c75e1-6367-4e3f-bf61-7e8d3c398b2b (not settled)
