Summary
We've reached the "Last Season's Playoff Teams" portion of the 2026 NFL Draft on The Athletic Football Show's On The Clock, though it might not feel like it. The first team up on this episode is the Carolina Panthers, a team that won its division at 8-9. They're followed by the Dallas Cowboys, a team that didn't make the playoffs but holds what would have been the Packers pick thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. We've also got the Cleveland Browns mixed in here, thanks to the Travis Hunter trade they made with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year. Mike Renner of CBS Sports joins Robert Mays on this episode to make picks for those three teams, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:01.7 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:02.7 | Our On the Clock series rolls on today. |
| 0:05.5 | I've loved doing these shows. |
| 0:07.0 | Just a quick explanation of the exercise for people who may not have listened to the other ones that we've done so far. |
| 0:12.0 | What we do is we bring on a draft analyst. |
| 0:14.0 | We take a certain portion of the first round, six or seven picks, and we go through each individual pick pick and I give them three options. And the |
| 0:21.9 | exercises, they do what they would do if they were in the seat making the pick for these teams |
| 0:27.8 | while they were on the clock. It's an interesting range of the draft. Got a couple teams that |
| 0:31.9 | could go off and to tackle if they wanted to. A couple teams picking between the edge rushers |
| 0:35.8 | here. This might be the Ty Simpson range for one of those teams. Just a little bit of a spoiler. So here to help me |
| 0:41.4 | work through picks 19 through 25. It is our friend Mike Renner from CBS Sports. Really |
| 0:48.2 | enjoyed this conversation with Mike. A couple quick housekeeping things, mostly just one, |
| 0:53.1 | before we get started. The Rubin-Bain News that came out this weekend, we're doing the show a little bit late because I actually was sick yesterday, and so I apologize if my brain isn't fully working today as well. We're going to talk about the Rubin Bain News. That is going to be something that Dane and Dave hit on Building the Beast, and that show will be available to you tomorrow. |
| 1:12.1 | Dane, obviously, is somebody that has talked to these teams about their considerations with |
| 1:16.4 | Bain, the things that they're weighing. |
| 1:17.7 | And so it felt like he was the best voice to address that and kind of work through that anyway. |
| 1:22.2 | So that news will be talked about on Building the Beast tomorrow, but just wanted to let you |
| 1:26.6 | know that it is coming. |
| 1:28.2 | But today, it is me and Mike Renner doing our next iteration of our On the Clock series. |
| 1:33.7 | So let's get to Picks 19 through 25 right now. |
| 1:58.1 | Our On the clock series rolls on today with picks 19 through 25, joining us to make his selections with those teams on the board. |
