No, Miami defensive end Rueben Bain won’t be available at pick No. 27. But his bookend on the Hurricanes’ defensive line could be. Mesidor was nearly as destructive as Bain in 2025, finishing with 12.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. According to Pro Football Focus, he had a pass-rush win rate of 21.2 percent. To put that in perspective, Bain’s was 22.9 percent.
So how does a guy with numbers like that slip to No. 27? Mesidor might not have elite length — his height and arm length will be scrutinized at the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine — and he’ll also turn 25 three weeks before the draft. That means he’s more than three years older than the 49ers’ first-round pick last year, Mykel Williams.
