In this episode of Press Man Coverage, hosts Sauce, Captain Cody, and Lem break down the 2026 NFL Draft and its ripple effects across the entire AFC South. The guys dive deep into how each team — the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans — performed in the draft, then plug those additions straight into their current rosters to paint a clear picture of where each franchise stands heading into the 2026 season.

They recap the Titans’ aggressive first-round haul (Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall and Keldric Faulk at No. 31 via trade-up), plus their Day 2 move for linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. and later picks like Fernando Carmona Jr. (OG) and Nick Singleton (RB). 

For the Texans, the conversation covers their trench-heavy class, headlined by first-round guard Keylan Rutledge (No. 26 via trade-up), second-round DT Kayden McDonald and TE Marlin Klein, plus depth additions like Febechi Nwaiwu (OG) and Wade Woodaz (LB). 

The Jaguars, without a first-rounder, focused on tight end Nate Boerkircher (No. 56), DT Albert Regis, OG Emmanuel Pregnon, and safety Jalen Huskey in the early rounds. 

Finally, the Colts — also starting on Day 2 — added linebacker CJ Allen (No. 53), safety A.J. Haulcy, and interior pieces like Jalen Farmer (OG) and Bryce Boettcher (LB).

Sauce, Captain Cody, and Lem integrate these rookies with returning veterans and free-agent additions to deliver quick, realistic outlooks and predictions for every team’s ceiling, floor, and divisional standing. Expect sharp analysis on scheme fits, roster holes, and which teams gained the most ground (or fell behind) after the draft.
