In this lively episode of The Domonique Foxworth Show, host Dominique Foxworth and longtime co-host Charlie Kravitz dive into their 'My Guy' picks for the 2026 NFL Draft, celebrating players they passionately believe in—often contrary to mainstream consensus. The conversation begins with a humorous reflection on draft history, including a legendary misjudged 40-yard dash for Dave McDaniels in 1968, and transitions into a candid, often playful debate about past draft takes, such as Foxworth’s initial skepticism of Josh Allen and his later admiration. The core of the episode centers on deep-dive evaluations of under-the-radar prospects, with Foxworth highlighting Caleb Banks, a massive and athletic Florida defensive lineman recovering from foot surgery, as his top 'my guy' due to his rare size, high floor, and elite ceiling. Charlie counters with Galen Kilgore, a physically imposing South Carolina safety who fits the 'big nickel' archetype, and Max Ahonachor, a rare offensive tackle with a basketball background and elite movement skills. The duo also spotlight lesser-known gems like Red Murdoch, a ferocious linebacker with a 'lunatic' playing style, and Bryce Lance, a North Dakota State receiver whose talent is overshadowed by his brother’s legacy. Throughout, they debate player traits—physicality, intelligence, intangibles—and reflect on how coaching, position versatility, and film evaluation shape their picks. The episode ends with a spirited, affectionate exchange, affirming their friendship and shared passion for the draft.
Caleb Banks (Florida DT) is a high-floor, high-ceiling defensive lineman with rare size and athleticism, likely to fall into the late first or second round.
Galen Kilgore (South Carolina S) is a 'big nickel' safety with elite physical traits and versatility, possibly undervalued due to position ambiguity.
Max Ahonachor (Arizona State OT) is a rare, basketball-influenced tackle with elite movement and potential, especially with proper coaching.
Red Murdoch (Buffalo LB) is a 'lunatic' enforcer with relentless physicality and a high-impact, high-chaos playing style that could thrive in a role-based defense.
Bryce Lance (North Dakota State WR) is a freak athlete whose talent is overshadowed by nepotism concerns, but he has the tools to be a breakout receiver.

Caleb Banks: The High Floor, High Ceiling DT
“He's a six, six, 330 pound guy. He's kind of like Jordan Davis type level size and athleticism combination that you don't see very often.”
Galen Kilgore: The Big Nickel Safety
“He's a big nickel type of guy. He's not a deep safety necessarily. He reminds me of like a beefier Jaday Barron.”
Max Ahonachor & Red Murdoch: Rare Athletes with Fire
“He hits someone expecting the full car crash collision every single time. He's one of the more physical players I can remember.”
“I want somebody who's driving behind the Walmart after hours trying to park. That guy? It's a risk I'm down with.”
