0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand two hundred seventy of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, February 27th, 2026. It is the day after we at the
0:25.6	2026 NFL scouting combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis had measurements for defensive
0:31.9	linemen, linebackers, and kickers. Don't forget about the kickers. The two most notable items relevant to the Washington
0:39.4	commanders who have the number seven overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. A, University of Miami
0:45.9	Edge Defender Ruben Bain Jr. Yes, has short arms. B. Ohio State linebacker, Sunny Stiles,
0:53.3	has outstanding physical traits for a linebacker.
0:57.5	Bain, he registered an arm length of a mere 30 and 7 eighths inches. Understand that that would be
1:06.2	the shortest arm length for an edge defender taken in the first round of an NFL draft since at least
1:12.2	1999. That would be the shortest arm length for an edge defender taken in the first round of an
1:19.0	NFL draft this century, this millennium, to be especially dramatic. Arm length is not everything
1:25.2	for an edge defender, but yeah, an arm length of just
1:29.0	30 and 7 eighths inches is not ideal. Also, Bain measured as being shorter and lighter that he was
1:36.3	listed by Miami. He measured as being 6.2 and 1 fourth of an inch and 263 pounds. However,
1:48.5	Sunny Stiles, his stock continues to rise. He measured as being 65 and 244 pounds with a wingspan of 80 and 7 eighths inches. He registered a vertical jump of
1:56.8	43 and a half inches, highest by an off ball linebacker at an NFL scouting combine since 2003.
2:04.4	He registered a broad jump of 11 feet and 2 inches.
2:08.0	He registered a 40-yard dash time of 4.4 seconds.
2:12.7	Sunny Stiles on Thursday put on a show.
2:16.3	ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kuyper Jr.
2:19.2	He and his latest mock 2006 NFL draft, which came out on Tuesday morning, has our team,
2:26.5	has the commanders at seven taking sunny styles.
2:30.7	Here were ESPN fantasy football and NFL draft analyst Field Yates, ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes, and ESPN NFL analyst Peter Schrager on ESPN's NFL live on Thursday afternoon talking Sunny Stiles.
