Quick answer
WatchEchols had 3 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB262 through 2 games. From DB108 to DB262 through 2 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
