The 2026 NFL Combine is underway, and already, the 2026 NFL Draft board has changed a great deal. Here’s a look at the latest projections using PFSN’s Mock Draft Simulator, complete with Combine results and the implications for prospects on the rise.
1) Las Vegas Raiders
Fernando Mendoza, Indiana | QB
The Las Vegas Raiders have more than a few needs, but finding a franchise quarterback to invest in takes precedence in the inaugural offseason of the Klint Kubiak era. Fernando Mendoza has the arm talent and mental acuity, and he’s an excellent schematic fit.
2) New York Jets
Sonny Styles, Ohio State | LB
Sonny Styles might as well be the feature athlete of this 2026 NFL Mock Draft. After his NFL Combine showing, there’s no denying him as a potential top-five selection. He’s the arguable best prospect in the class, and his prospect profile transcends any conversations surrounding hypothetical “positional value”.
At 6’5″, 244 pounds, with near-33″ arms, Styles logged the following NFL Combine test numbers: A 4.46 40-yard dash with a 1.56 10-yard split, a 43.5″ vertical, an 11’2″ broad jump, a 7.09 three-cone, and a 4.26 short-shuttle.
The agility numbers were the only thing holding Styles back from the best athletic testing of all-time at the LB spot, and even then, he was still near the 80th percentile in that category.
When you run Styles’ evaluation through its paces, it becomes more and more impressive. He has an almost-generational athletic profile. He’s a former safety with high-level coverage ability and spatial IQ.
He generates pressure with tantalizing efficiency on pass-rush reps. He’s an elite processor and communicator, with overwhelming point-of-attack power and stacking strength. And he’s an A-plus character off the field.
There will be positional value arguments with Styles, but at the end of the day, he’s a blue-chip defender who can wear a plethora of different hats and play at a high level. For any team at the start of a rebuild, like the New York Jets, he’s a tone-setter and culture-setter who sets the resurgence off right.
3) Arizona Cardinals
Arvell Reese, Ohio State | LB/EDGE
With 4.46 speed and a titanium-forged 6’4″, 241-pound frame, with 32 1/2″ arms, Arvell Reese has the kind of astronomical upside and raw power capacity as an EDGE convert that the Arizona Cardinals can’t afford to pass up, needing more blue-chip talent in the trenches.
4) Tennessee Titans
Carnell Tate, Ohio State | WR
Robert Saleh is a defensive head coach, but one of his first orders of business should be securing Cam Ward a true WR1.
Carnell Tate answers the bell for the Tennessee Titans with a combined separation and contested catch excellence at 6’3″ that’s eerily reminiscent of George Pickens.
5) New Orleans Saints (via NYG)
Projected trade: Saints receive No. 5 overall pick; Giants receive No. 8 overall pick, No. 73 overall pick
David Bailey, Texas Tech | EDGE
David Bailey quelled any size concerns at the NFL Combine by measuring in at around 6’4″, 251 pounds, with near-34″ arms, and his 4.5 40-yard dash and 10’9″ broad jump come close to quantifying his hyper-elite explosion and speed off the snap. With his burst, agility, power, and motor, he can be a game-wrecker in the mold of Brian Orakpo.
6) Cleveland Browns
Caleb Lomu, Utah | OT
There’s no runaway consensus OT1 in the 2026 NFL Draft, but Caleb Lomu still has my vote. He needs to add more mass to his frame, but his flexibility failsafe is overpowered in pass protection, and he drastically improved his power element in the run game in 2025.
7) Washington Commanders
Caleb Downs, Ohio State | DB
The Commanders could go with Rueben Bain Jr. here, but Dan Quinn traditionally likes longer EDGE defenders. Caleb Downs is no mere consolation prize; he’s an immediate, fusing presence in an embattled secondary, thanks to his rare versatility and football IQ.
8) New York Giants (via NO)
Francis Mauigoa, Miami (FL) | OL
After trading back and acquiring capital, the Giants reinforce their offensive line to support Jaxson Dart by adding Francis Mauigoa. Mauigoa could eventually shift inside for New York, but he has the athleticism, balance, patient hands, and stifling anchor to stick at tackle despite his lack of length.
9) Kansas City Chiefs
Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame | RB
This is a pick that partly takes into account Kansas City’s roster-building hubris under Andy Reid and Brett Veach, but the Chiefs do need dynamic talent at RB, and Jeremiyah Love is right there with Bijan Robinson and Ashton Jeanty as a blue-chip dynamite stick in the backfield.
10) Cincinnati Bengals
Rueben Bain Jr., Miami (FL) | DL
Rueben Bain Jr.’s 30 7/8″ arms are the story coming out of the NFL Combine; that length is in the 3rd percentile among edge rushers.
Nevertheless, Bain compensates with his build-up explosion, natural leverage profile, play strength and power, rotational torque, angle IQ, and relentless execution. For Cincinnati, he’s an alignment-versatile motor monster.
11) Miami Dolphins
Jermod McCoy, Tennessee | CB
Jermod McCoy opted not to test or take part in NFL Combine drills, but his pro day will provide some closure on his medical status. If healthy, he’s an off-man and zone bandit with hyper-elite fluidity and playmaking potential, in the mold of Darius Slay.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Mansoor Delane, LSU | CB
At around 6’0″, 187 pounds, with just 30″ arms, Mansoor Delane’s average size doesn’t separate him alone. But what separates Delane is his elite football IQ, role and schematic versatility, coverage mobility and technique, and his playmaking imprint at the catch point. For Dallas, he quickly makes Trevon Diggs a distant memory.
13) Los Angeles Rams
Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State | WR
Medicals may push Jordyn Tyson down the board, but at a certain point, the 6’2″, 200-pound pass-catcher is too talented to pass up if there are no degenerative issues. For the Rams, he’s a long-term successor to Davante Adams with his glowing three-level threat profile.
14) Baltimore Ravens
Caleb Banks, Florida | DT
Eric DeCosta has said the Ravens will capitalize on the opportunity to add a disruptive DT if they get a chance, with Nnamdi Madubuike’s future still unclear. At 6’6″, 327 pounds, with 35″ arms, 5.04 speed, and elite explosiveness and quickness, Caleb Banks gives Baltimore every single tool in the toolbox to mold.
15) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon | TE
After an NFL Combine performance that saw Kenyon Sadiq log a 4.39 40-yard dash (the fastest ever for a TE at the Combine), a 43.5″ vertical, and an 11’1″ broad jump, the Top 15 could be his floor. The Buccaneers make sense, as they need a long-term dynamic two-phase TE, and will be drawn to Sadiq’s character and mental makeup.
16) New York Jets
Makai Lemon, USC | WR
The Jets drastically need a complementary presence to Garrett Wilson at WR, and Makai Lemon is one of the best fits in the 2026 NFL Draft. While Wilson can operate inside and out, Lemon can eat alongside Wilson as the Jets’ power slot, with the quickness, RAC, and catch-point composure to come up big in clutch situations.
17) Detroit Lions
Akheem Mesidor, Miami (FL) | EDGE
Akheem Mesidor will be a 25-year-old rookie, but the Lions are one team that shouldn’t clutch their pearls as far as age is concerned. They’re fighting to keep their NFL Playoff window alive, and Mesidor gives Detroit an instant infusion of explosive, powerful pass-rush utility opposite Aidan Hutchinson.
18) Minnesota Vikings
Brandon Cisse, South Carolina | CB
Brandon Cisse gave a glimpse of his hyper-elite athletic profile at the NFL Combine, logging a 41″ vertical and a 10’11” broad jump. In Minnesota, he’d thrive as a diverse boundary-nickel flex CB whose short-area energy, play pace, explosive closing ability, and physicality are all assets to his game.
19) Carolina Panthers
D’Angelo Ponds, Indiana | CB
At 5’9″, 182 pounds, with just 29 3/8″ arms, D’Angelo Ponds’ size will remain a talking point all the way to April. But outside of size, there’s an argument to make that he’s the best CB in the class. He’s an elite vertical athlete, a veteran-laden technician and catch-point operator, and there’s no tradeoff in support as a tackler. He’s a future NFL star.
20) Dallas Cowboys
C.J. Allen, Georgia | LB
The Dallas Cowboys have an almost 100-pick gap between selections, so they need to invest heavily at linebacker before that gap. The Georgia defense ran through C.J. Allen, and though he’s around average size at 6’1″, 230 pounds, he’s an advanced processor and second-level commander with instincts, explosiveness, and sound two-phase appeal.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
KC Concepcion, Texas A&M | WR
The Steelers’ long-term outlook at WR is very unclear, so the best they can do in the 2026 NFL Draft is add a natural separator and a high-caliber three-level threat to lighten the load and improve the unit’s floor. KC Concepcion profiles as that player with his explosiveness, speed, twitch, multi-level separation, and RAC skills.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State | G
In any 2026 NFL Mock Draft, if Olaivavega Ioane makes it to the Chargers, you might as well run the card in. The Chargers desperately need a facelift on the interior offensive line, and Ioane suffices with his square power, leveraging, run-game range, and pass-game anchor at 6’4″, 330 pounds.
23) Philadelphia Eagles
Monroe Freeling, Georgia | OT
With Jeff Stoutland now out of Philadelphia, top-notch development isn’t a given anymore. That’s why the Eagles need to increase their investments in the offensive line. Kadyn Proctor is a mountainous tackle with tantalizing size-adjusted athleticism and physicality, and he could exist at OT or excel at guard long-term.
Monroe Freeling’s hand usage remains relatively rudimentary, but at 6’7″, 315 pounds, with a seven-foot wingspan and elite athleticism and flexibility, he gives the Eagles an abundance of physical upside and natural stability to work with as they prepare for life after Jeff Stoutland.
24) Cleveland Browns
Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana | WR
Todd Monken needs more alignment-versatile talent at WR to run his ideal offense in Cleveland, and Omar Cooper Jr. could be an excellent schematic fit.
Cooper has the explosiveness and bend to operate out of the slot, on the boundary, or on motions, and he’s just as potent as a RAC threat as he is making body-control grabs at the catch.
25) Chicago Bears
Peter Woods, Clemson | DT
There’s a sense that Peter Woods is a very polarizing prospect across the league, but if he makes it to Chicago at No. 25, it seems hard to fathom that the Bears would pass on him. Built with natural leverage and compact mass at 6’2 1/2″ and 298 pounds, Woods has the puncturing explosion and linear power element to wreak havoc at his ceiling.
26) Buffalo Bills
Kayden McDonald, Ohio State | DT
In Jim Leonhard’s defense, the Bills need a pure nose tackle who can reset the line with linear explosion and encumber double-teams at 0-tech and 1-tech. Kayden McDonald fits that profile perfectly, and he’ll enable Deone Walker and others to play freer, with 1-on-1 opportunities abounding.
27) San Francisco 49ers
Spencer Fano, Utah | OL
Spencer Fano still has room to keep expanding his hand usage arsenal and kick angle flexibility, but 2025 was a step in the right direction, and his range and driving power in the run game still stand out. For the 49ers, Fano could be an eventual Trent Williams successor, or he could insert at guard.
28) Houston Texans
Kadyn Proctor, Alabama | OL
The Texans got more from their line than many expected in 2025, but there still exists a need for Houston to upgrade up front and acquire long-term starting talent. Kadyn Proctor is a mountainous tackle with tantalizing size-adjusted athleticism and physicality, but his best long-term projection for Houston likely exists at guard.
29) Los Angeles Rams
Avieon Terrell, Clemson | CB
As Avieon Terrell showed in the on-field drills at the NFL Combine, he’s one of the most balanced, composed, and technically sound CBs in the entire class when working in space. He’s capable of playing press-man and matching off the line, but his all-encompassing schematic and alignment versatility will be particularly invaluable for Los Angeles.
30) Denver Broncos
Keldric Faulk, Auburn | DL
At 6’6″, 276 pounds, with 34 3/8″ arms, Keldric Faulk is built like a tank, and his 35″ vertical alludes to quality explosiveness at his size. For the Broncos, it might be worthwhile to experiment with Faulk as an interior hybrid opposite Zach Allen.
He has the forklift power profile to reset the line from 3-tech and 4i, but can also drive from wider alignments.
31) New England Patriots
Malachi Lawrence, UCF | EDGE
Few EDGE prospects took advantage of their NFL Combine showing more than UCF’s Malachi Lawrence. At 6’4″, 253 pounds, with 33 3/8″ arms, Lawrence logged a 4.53 40-yard dash, a 40″ vertical, and a 10’10” broad jump
32) Seattle Seahawks
Dillon Thieneman, Oregon | S
In truth, this might be too low for Dillon Thieneman. The 6’0″, 201-pound safety showed off elite range and playmaking ability as a true freshman at Purdue, then metamorphosed into an elite box safety at Oregon.
With 4.35 speed and a 41″ vertical, he passes all of the athletic checks, and his versatility, intelligence, and calculated physicality would work wonders in Mike Macdonald’s scheme alongside Nick Emmanwori, Devon Witherspoon, and Julian Love.
Round 2 | 33) New York Jets
T.J. Parker, Clemson | EDGE
As expected at the NFL Combine, T.J. Parker didn’t quite measure in with elite size, nor did he test with elite athleticism. The appeal with Parker is that, if he’s bringing 100%, he’s a high-floor NFL player with passable talent, natural leverage, and good two-phase ability.
34) Arizona Cardinals
Blake Miller, Clemson | OT
Blake Miller still needs to improve his anchor strength a bit more, but he’s one of the most athletic and rangy blockers in the class, with the explosiveness, recovery flexibility, length, and feel for upper- and lower-body synergy to be a high-quality starting right tackle in time.
35) Tennessee Titans
Treydan Stukes, Arizona | DB
At 6’1″, 190 pounds, with near-32″ arms, Treydan Stukes earned a 4.33 40-yard dash, 38″ vertical, and 10’10” broad jump at the NFL Combine. At this point, he’s closer to a first-round pick than he is to a third or fourth. He combines that elite athleticism with awe-inspiring reactive quickness, processing, role versatility, and two-phase playmaking.
36) Las Vegas Raiders
Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M | G
It remains to be seen what the Raiders will do with their holdover pieces on the offensive line. If Jackson Powers-Johnson moves back to center, Chase Bisontis can be a high-quality starter alongside him with his leverage, athleticism, flexibility, active hands, and run-game angle IQ.
37) New York Giants
Chris Johnson, San Diego State | CB
Chris Johnson’s film is immaculate, and at the NFL Combine, he posted a 4.4 40-yard dash and a 38″ vertical at 6’0″, 193 pounds, while also shining in positional drills with his transition freedom, smooth pedal, and instant retractions. For New York, he’s a potential high-tier starter.
38) Houston Texans
Max Iheanachor, Arizona State | OT
Max Iheanachor will be an older rookie, but he’s still very early in his career as an offensive lineman, having never played the position before high school. The Texans have Aireontae Ersery at one tackle spot and believe in Blake Fisher, but Iheanachor gives Houston immediate high-end depth and has impact starter upside down the line.
39) Cleveland Browns
Ty Simpson, Alabama | QB
Ty Simpson currently grades as an early Day 2 prospect on my board, with Marc Bulger as an NFL comp. For a team like Cleveland, he’s a worthwhile investment in the Top 50, but he has more to prove before he can take the keys to the kingdom and truly elevate his roster.
40) Kansas City Chiefs
Zion Young, Missouri | EDGE
At 6’6″, 263 pounds, with arms over 33″, Zion Young has the linear explosiveness, power, and motor that Steve Spagnuolo craves in his edge rushers. His character must be vetted, but he’s the kind of prospect Kansas City has proven deferential to in the past.
41) Cincinnati Bengals
Christen Miller, Georgia | DT
At 6’4″, 321 pounds, with 33″ arms and massive 10″ mitts for hands, Christen Miller can function as a valuable orbit DT for the Bengals, slabbing blockers and resetting the line with his power element, while providing additional pass-rush upside with his burst, twitch, and torque.
42) New Orleans Saints
Denzel Boston, Washington | WR
If Chris Olave stays in New Orleans, Denzel Boston can be a quality WR2 with his gliding athleticism, intermediate route-running, and stem nuance, and catch-point control at 6’4″, 209 pounds. Tyler Shough loves to take calculated risks, and Boston can help him deliver.
43) Miami Dolphins
Chris Bell, Louisville | WR
As long as Chris Bell is on track to a full recovery after tearing his ACL in the fall, the 6’2″, 227-pound WR has tantalizing upside as a three-level threat. He specializes primarily as a searing RAC weapon in space, but also has traits that lend to catch-point control.
44) New York Jets
Gracen Halton, Oklahoma | DT
At 6’3″, 293 pounds, with 4.82 speed and a mind-boggling 36.5″ vertical, Gracen Halton has the natural leverage, explosive lower half, line-resetting power, and pass-rush upside to be a vital interior component alongside new addition T’Vondre Sweat.
45) Baltimore Ravens
Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon | G
The Ravens need to upgrade both guard spots, while still maintaining the people-moving propensity they sought out with Daniel Faalele and Andrew Vorhees. Emmanuel Pregnon brings that same long, heavy-handed profile in a phone booth, along with explosive second-level range, great awareness, and anchor strength.
46) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech | LB
Jacob Rodriguez won four different awards for his play in 2025. He was a two-time captain. He dominated the Senior Bowl, and at 6’1″, 231 pounds, he boasts 4.57 speed, a 38.5″ vertical, and position-leading agility numbers. Whether it’s range, instincts, coverage play, or downhill production, Rodriguez checks every box for Tampa Bay.
47) Indianapolis Colts
Anthony Hill Jr., Texas | LB
At 6’2″, 238 pounds, with 32 3/8″ arms and searing 4.51 speed, Anthony Hill Jr. has the size, speed, range, and contact-attuned physical profile that Chris Ballard desires in his second-level starters. As Hill continues to learn to take on blocks and stay square to gaps, he has starter-level upside.
48) Atlanta Falcons
Ted Hurst, Georgia State | WR
At 6’3″, 207 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Ted Hurst can be a worthy complement for Drake London, in an offense that could use a field and seam-stretcher. Hurst has that vertical gravity, but he also flashes exciting sink-and-route nuance for his size, and his work ethic ensures he can reach his ceiling.
49) Minnesota Vikings
Lee Hunter, Texas Tech | DT
Lee Hunter may have tested with historically bad explosion numbers at the NFL Combine, but the film shows an extra level of pass-rush juice and quickness that his lighter lower body doesn’t always suggest. For Minnesota, Hunter would be a vitally important interior presence with his block authority and motor.
50) Detroit Lions
Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas | RB
At 6’1″, 228 pounds, Mike Washington Jr. is an explosive north-south runner who has the combined lower-body flexibility and angle IQ to stem defenders behind blocks and capitalize with his speed and forward-churning physicality. For Detroit, he’s a worthy successor to David Montgomery and a dynamic complement to Jahmyr Gibbs.
51) Carolina Panthers
Cashius Howell, Texas A&M | EDGE
At 6’2 1/2″ and 253 pounds, with just 30 1/4″ arms, Cashius Howell is a massive size outlier, but his 4.59 speed is indicative of the light-footed athleticism and playmaking range he brings from wider alignments. For Ejiro Evero’s scheme, Howell is a natural fit with a level of pass-rush nuance, motor, and angle IQ that’s instantly translatable.
52) Green Bay Packers
Colton Hood, Tennessee | CB
At 6’0″, 193 pounds, with 31 3/8″ arms, 4.44 speed, and elite explosiveness numbers, Colton Hood checks most of the physical boxes the Green Bay Packers look for at CB. He has scheme-versatile upside with his reactive quickness and playmaking ability, and he never shied away from a challenge to compete all through the pre-draft process.
53) Pittsburgh Steelers
Gennings Dunker, Iowa | G
Gennings Dunker primarily played offensive tackle for the Iowa Hawkeyes, but he translates better to guard in the NFL, where his hip stiffness and inconsistent angles will be mitigated, and his raw power and physicality maximized.
54) Philadelphia Eagles
Charles Demmings, Stephen F. Austin | CB
Charles Demmings proved he belonged at the Senior Bowl with his press-man ability, catch-point composure, and hip sink, and he verified his athleticism at the NFL Combine, logging a 4.41 40-yard dash, a 42″ vertical, and an 11′ broad jump at 6’1″, 193 pounds, with 32″ arms. The top 64 capitals are on the table.
55) Los Angeles Chargers
Sam Hecht, Kansas State | C
On the heels of the Chargers’ hire of Mike McDaniel, the team’s need for a mobile, angle-sound starting center has skyrocketed. Sam Hecht is the best available candidate in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft, with elite athleticism and hinge flexibility, as well as impressive anchor strength and balance for his size.
56) Jacksonville Jaguars
Emmett Johnson, Nebraska | RB
With Travis Etienne likely entering free agency, Liam Coen has a chance to add a pure creator at RB in the mold of Bucky Irving. Emmett Johnson has the same short-area quickness, angle freedom, spatial IQ, and peripheral vision, and while he’s not as physical, he’s absurdly efficient at maximizing runs.
57) Chicago Bears
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo | S
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren tested as a quality athlete at 6’3 1/2″ and over 200 pounds, with over 32″ arms. The film further backs up his appeal as a potential top-64 pick. His size bills him as a box safety, and he surely packs a punch at contact, but he’s also incredibly smooth and disciplined in managing zones in coverage.
58) San Francisco 49ers
Kendrick Law, Kentucky | WR
At around 6’0″, 205 pounds, with high-end explosiveness and long speed, Kendrick Law fits the 49ers’ desired profile at WR. He’s already an elite RAC threat, a competent catch-point operator, and a stellar blocker, and his lower-body flexibility hints at unearthed upside as a separator.
59) Houston Texans
Keylan Rutledge, Georgia Tech | G
The Texans need sturdiness and power capacity at guard heading into 2025, and few guards provide that to a greater degree at this pick than Georgia Tech’s Keylan Rutledge. With natural leverage, imposing mass, linear explosion, and overwhelming strength and power, Rutledge presents an immediate upgrade.
60) Buffalo Bills
Gabe Jacas, Illinois | EDGE
Gabe Jacas is a former wrestler and a consistent collegiate producer who also served as a team captain at Illinois. At 6’4″, 260 pounds, with 33″ arms, he gives the Bills an enticing blend of raw play strength, hand power, energized acceleration, pass-rush nuance, and run defense utility.
61) Los Angeles Rams
A.J. Haulcy, LSU | S
At around 6’0″, 215 pounds, A.J. Haulcy is built like a brick house at safety, and while he doesn’t quite have elite testing athleticism, his ability to play split-field looks and surge downhill in support would fit extremely well alongside Kamren Kinchens.
62) Denver Broncos
Germie Bernard, Alabama | WR
Germie Bernard was one of the testing winners at the NFL Combine, and when packaging that with his play, it’s tough to see him lasting past Round 2. As a route runner, Bernard wins with his keen zone vision and spatial intelligence, and he’s a dynamic RAC threat with ideal toughness over the middle.
63) New England Patriots
Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M | OT
At 6’7″, 331 pounds, with near-36″ arms, Dametrious Crownover is a truly otherworldly physical specimen, possessing rare size and relative explosiveness. His operational flashes are promising as well, but he’ll especially benefit from learning behind Morgan Moses for a year.
64) Seattle Seahawks
Will Lee III, Texas A&M | CB
Will Lee III might not have dominant vertical speed, but his NFL Combine performance validated his explosive potential at 6’1 1/2″ and 189 pounds, with near-33″ arms. He has the length, burst, fluidity, and point-of-attack physicality to seamlessly take the torch from Josh Jobe in Macdonald’s scheme.
Round 3 | 65) Arizona Cardinals
Dallen Bentley, Utah | TE
At 6’4″, 253 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Dallen Bentley put up a promising 4.62 40-yard dash and 35″ vertical at the NFL Combine. On film, he distinguishes himself as a well-rounded two-phase presence, with nuanced route-running skills and stellar blocking utility. He helps improve Arizona’s duplicity from 12 personnel under Mike LaFleur.
66) Tennessee Titans
Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State | EDGE
Dani Dennis-Sutton was trending toward the Day 3 fringe, but he fared extremely well at the Combine. At 6’6″, 256 pounds, with near-34″ arms, he boasted a 4.63 40-yard dash with a 1.63 10-yard split, a 39.5″ vertical, a 10’11” broad jump, and a staggering 6.9 three-cone.
Dennis-Sutton appears high-hipped and stiff on tape, but his agility testing alludes at potentially untapped upside. He sees red on every snap, and his combination of explosion and size can yield awesome point-of-attack power.
67) Las Vegas Raiders
Antonio Williams, Clemson | WR
The Raiders essentially have a clean slate at WR, as the rookie returns from Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton were uninspiring. Antonio Williams raises the floor as a versatile movement-Z with expert-level route nuance, fluid RAC ability in space, and size-defying catch-point consistency.
68) Philadelphia Eagles
Eli Raridon, Notre Dame | TE
Eli Raridon acquitted himself well at the NFL Combine, logging a 4.62 40-yard dash and a 36″ vertical at 6’6″, 245 pounds, with near-33″ arms. The Eagles need a long-term TE for when Dallas Goedert eventually moves on, and Raridon is a Top 5 TE prospect with seam-splitting upside and early blocking utility.
69) Houston Texans
Kaleb Elarms-Orr, TCU | LB
Kaleb Elarms-Orr catapulted into potential Top 100 range at the NFL Combine, running a 4.47 40-yard dash and logging a 40″ vertical at 6’2″, 234 pounds. He’s the kind of size-speed-motor specimen that DeMeco Ryans has proven partial to, and he brings a ready-made blitzing element from depth.
70) Cleveland Browns
Connor Lew, Auburn | C
Connor Lew’s health will be the most important factor dictating his stock in the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft, but if his medicals check out, Lew has the athleticism, natural leverage, balance, and football IQ to be a quality starter in the void left by Ethan Pocic.
71) Washington Commanders
Derrick Moore, Michigan | EDGE
Derrick Moore wasn’t able to test at the NFL Combine, but it doesn’t take much film study to know he has one of the best explosiveness profiles in the 2026 NFL Draft EDGE class. At 6’4″, 255 pounds, with near-34″ arms, he fits Quinn’s size profile off the edge, and he’s proven he can channel overwhelming power with his physical gifts.
72) Cincinnati Bengals
Louis Moore, Indiana | S
Louis Moore was one of the stars of Indiana’s championship defense, logging six interceptions en route to a national title. At 5’11”, 200 pounds, he’s a savvy zone cover man with elite spatial instincts and the physicality to match. At his peak, he can be an impact starter in the mold of Julian Love.
73) New York Giants (via NO)
Skyler Bell, UConn | WR
With luck, Malik Nabers can return to peak form off his torn ACL, but Dart and John Harbaugh can’t stop there with their weapons core. A quality WR2 is needed to properly spread the field, and Skyler Bell has the quickness, separation ability, and dynamic RAC to suffice.
74) Kansas City Chiefs
Zachariah Branch, Georgia | WR
Zachariah Branch is a not-at-all-surprising NFL Combine darling, whose raw athletic talent has been anticipated since his high school days. For Kansas City, he’s a RAC and designed touch weapon first, but he quietly has excellent catch-point composure and route-running upside.
75) Miami Dolphins
Oscar Delp, Georgia | TE
Oscar Delp’s production never caught on at the collegiate level, but he was often so valuable as a blocker that Georgia couldn’t take him out of that role. At 6’5″, 245 pounds, he’s lean, uber-explosive, and tough-as-nails, with the two-phase profile to upgrade Miami’s TE room overnight.
76) Pittsburgh Steelers
Keionte Scott, Miami (FL) | DB
Especially if the Steelers kick Jalen Ramsey back to safety, Keionte Scott fits the Steelers’ preferences and stylistic tendencies as a hybrid nickel defender. Though he’ll be an older rookie, he’s an ultra-explosive and instinctive playmaker out of the slot, with a brawler’s mentality in contact situations.
77) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma | EDGE
R Mason Thomas didn’t test as well as desired for a 6’2″, 241-pound EDGE, but on film, he still has the explosive element, speed-to-power, and cornering ability to supersede his size limitations, and in Tampa Bay, he’d be right at home as a wide-alignment rusher.
78) Indianapolis Colts
Anthony Lucas, USC | EDGE
Anthony Lucas’ collegiate production was pedestrian at best, and he hasn’t been a pre-draft standout, but the Colts have heavily favored size and athletic ability at EDGE under Ballard’s watch, and at 6’5″, 256 pounds, with near-34″ arms and size-defying quickness, Lucas has exciting potential to mold.
79) Atlanta Falcons
Keith Abney II, Arizona State | CB
Keith Abney II is undersized and doesn’t have high-level, size-adjusted athleticism, but his tape is among the cleanest in the CB class. With functional quickness, fluidity, depth discipline, playmaking precision, and an instinctive mirror-motor, he can be a quality CB2 opposite AJ Terrell.
80) Baltimore Ravens
Chris Brazzell II, Tennessee | WR
The Ravens need a vertical threat with real catch-point gravity to revitalize their passing game, and Chris Brazzell II projects well in that role. He’s a fast and fluid 6’5″ monolith who, per TruMedia, achieved an incredible 16.5% catch rate over expectation in 2025.
81) Jacksonville Jaguars
Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State | DT
DaVon Hamilton gave the Jaguars above-replacement play in 2025, but Jacksonville will need to re-invest at nose tackle. Darrell Jackson is an immovable object with devastating extension power at 6’5 5/8″, 315 pounds, with near-35″ arms and 11″ clubs for hands.
82) Minnesota Vikings
Genesis Smith, Arizona | S
Genesis Smith needs to improve his tackling and run support consistency at the NFL level, but as his NFL Combine outing showed, his upside as a single-high safety is unmatched in the class. At 6’2″ and 202 pounds with 32 1/2″ arms, his 42.5″ vertical displays his sheer explosiveness, and he’s incredibly fluid for his size when managing space as well.
83) Carolina Panthers
Justin Joly, NC State | TE
Justin Joly didn’t test at the NFL Combine, but not much new information is needed to verify his standing as a potential Top 5 TE. Built with a well-leveraged and compact frame, Joly is strong-handed, resolute over the middle, and has surprising route-running nuance and flexibility, all of which can help him become a go-to target for Bryce Young.
84) Green Bay Packers
Matt Gulbin, Michigan State | C
At 6’4″, 312 pounds, Matt Gulbin isn’t the best athlete at the center position, but he’s smart and fundamentally sound, with an incredibly strong anchor, and his combined anchor strength and hand power fit the Packers’ new modus operandi of physical dominance in the trenches.
85) Pittsburgh Steelers
Domonique Orange, Iowa State | DT
The future of the Steelers’ defensive line is bright with Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton, but a true nose tackle is needed to keep Benton from playing out of position. At 6’2″, 322 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Domonique Orange has the blend of natural leverage, mass, motor, and long-levered extensions to play the fulcrum.
86) Los Angeles Chargers
Kamari Ramsey, USC | DB
At 6’0″, 202 pounds, with 4.47 speed, Kamari Ramsey is an ideal Day 2 candidate as a hybrid nickel who can also play split-field safety in the Chargers’ scheme. He floats on his pedal when managing space, and he’s a physical enforcer in run support.
87) Miami Dolphins
Joshua Josephs, Tennessee | EDGE
Joshua Josephs has all of the desired traits, to a certain degree. He flashes apex-running explosion and bend, and at 6’3″, 242 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he has the ideal blend of natural leverage and length. His production is still rising to match those tools, but for Miami, he’s a compelling Day 2 investment.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars
Julian Neal, Arkansas | CB
After the NFL Combine, Julian Neal’s profile remains polarizing. He doesn’t quite have elite long speed, and his agility testing wasn’t as good as expected, but he reaffirmed his high-level explosive element at 6’2″, 203 pounds, with near-33″ arms. If he can improve his press-man discipline and playmaking precision, his ceiling is very high.
89) Chicago Bears
Jaishawn Barham, Michigan | EDGE
The 2026 NFL Draft EDGE class drops off a bit from this point onward, but Jaishawn Barham is an intriguing mid-round sleeper. Originally an off-ball linebacker, Barham has the explosion, compact mass, and unhinged physicality to mold as a designated pass-rusher, at the very least.
90) Miami Dolphins
Beau Stephens, Iowa | G
Beau Stephens is of average size, but he’s a quality athlete with very good balance and flexibility. He has the range to play wide zone and the physicality to move the front in tighter alignments, and in pass protection, he’s steady on his feet with active hands.
91) Buffalo Bills
Elijah Sarratt, Indiana | WR
Elijah Sarratt is far from an elite athlete, but at 6’2″, 209 pounds, he has the size profile Brandon Beane gravitates to outside, and he’s a cerebral, fundamentally sound player with very good route nuance, pacing, and extremely consistent catch-point skills in the red zone.
92) San Francisco 49ers
Jadarian Price, Notre Dame | RB
Jadarian Price’s venerable long speed will endear him to the 49ers as a big-play threat, but he has the short-area energy and compact, well-leveraged frame to create space for himself as well. In a change-of-pace role, he can produce with devastating efficiency.
93) Los Angeles Rams
Jake Golday, Cincinnati | LB
The Rams have security at LB over the short term, but they could stand to invest in long-term starting upside, and that’s what Jake Golday offers. At 6’4 1/2″ and 239 pounds, with 4.62 speed and elite testing explosiveness, Golday has the range, reach, and physicality to be a difference-maker in time.
94) Denver Broncos
Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt | TE
At 6’4″, 239 pounds, Eli Stowers broke the NFL Combine vertical jump record with a leap of 45.5″, and he also ran a blazing 4.51 40-yard dash. He brings almost no blocking utility, but Sean Payton will be willing to work with his athleticism, seam-splicing, and RAC upside as a receiving threat.
95) New England Patriots
Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State | WR
Brenen Thompson is an absolute burner on the vertical plane, whose 4.26 speed would be invaluable in a Patriots offensive cast that sometimes fails to stretch the field. Along with his raw speed, Thompson brings great stem IQ, and he’s shown he can make tough catches in positions of imbalance.
96) Seattle Seahawks
Febechi Nwaiwu, Oklahoma | OL
The Seahawks got by with replacement-level play at center and right guard, but they’ll likely need to reinvest in the interior line in 2026. Febechi Nwaiwu has experience at both positions, and at 6’4″, 326 pounds, with near-34″ arms, he has a tailor-made leverage-length combo to pair with high football intelligence and physicality.
97) Minnesota Vikings
Josiah Trotter, Missouri | LB
With Ivan Pace Jr. set to hit free agency, the Vikings could use a new downhill-charging LB for Brian Flores’ scheme. Josiah Trotter fits that mold well with his long-levered build, explosive linear athleticism, gap intelligence, and contact authority as a second-level stacker and shedder.
98) Philadelphia Eagles
Romello Height, Texas Tech | EDGE
Romello Height is undersized and will be an older rookie, but for the Eagles, he’s a good enough fit to warrant taking late in Round 3. Height has tantalizing explosiveness, bend, and twitch rushing off the edge, and his hot motor also lends itself well to pursuit.
99) Pittsburgh Steelers
Tacario Davis, Washington | CB
At 6’4″, 194 pounds, with arms over 33″ long and 4.4 speed, Tacario Davis is a true size-speed albatross who fits the Steelers’ traditional preferences. Opposite Joey Porter Jr., Davis can serve as a premier playmaking threat, and he provides surprising schematic versatility for his size.
100) Jacksonville Jaguars
Kaleb Proctor, SE Louisiana | DT
Kaleb Proctor dominated the FCS with nine sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 2025. He was a Shrine Bowl standout, and he reaffirmed his athleticism at the Combine, racking up a 4.79 40-yard dash with a 1.68 10-yard split, a 33″ vertical, and a 9’7″ broad jump at 6’2″, 291 pounds, with 33″ arms.
