Where there's a will, there's a skillful way. Mel Kuyper and Field Yates are breaking down the top

skill players of the 2026 NFL draft that's coming up. Plus, as always, we respond to your

questions, your takes, and your draft dreams live as First Drafts starts right now. Hello again,

everybody, and welcome back to first draft

alongside the legends Mel Kuyper and Field Yates.

I am Greeney.

We have a lot of surprises for you

along the way today.

Some special treats as we work our way through

this delightful Thanksgiving week.

And we're going to get to the crux of today's episode

will be Mel and Field will name the top 10

skill players so excluding the quarterbacks in the 2026 class but first things first we had the

moment we've all been waiting for. Shador Sanders finally got to start an NFL game. The entire

world wants to know what Mel Kuyper thought. It is no secret, Mel.

You were a believer in Shador. You never stopped feeling that way. Now he is 1 and 0.

The first Cleveland Browns quarterback to start 1 and 0 in this millennium, what was your

reaction first and foremost, Mel, to Shador start? Happy for him for the Cleveland Browns. And obviously the defense, Miles Garrett's ready to set the NFL record. They couldn't block him. There's three things. You talk about, you know, in baseball, what did they say at Bulldorm? You remember, Cranny? What do you, you throw the ball? Yeah, hit the ball. You catch the ball and all that And then football, it's really very simple, right? It's BTC, blocking, tackling, and concentration. That's what I say, blocking, tackling, and concentration. And to me, when you think about this game, they couldn't block him. You can't beat them if you can't block them. But in terms of Shador, the operations for a young quarterback, when you see quarterbacks run up,

clapping, and then the time's ticking down and you get a delay a game where you've got to take a timeout

or you end up the game with one timeout left or no timeouts left because the operations weren't good.

He looks a little confused out there.

He looks like a deer in headlights.
