Cummings’ 3-Round 2027 NFL Mock Draft: Arch Manning Replaces Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders on Browns

In PFN's latest 2027 NFL mock draft, a surprise quarterback joins Arch Manning and Dante Moore in Round 1, while Jeremiah Smith rises.

It is officially time for the last 2027 NFL Mock Draft before the college football and NFL regular seasons kick off. The picture is sure to change drastically as we get new, fresh film in the months to come, but as of now, this is how the 2027 NFL Draft board stands.

Using the new customizable-draft-order feature in PFN’s NFL Mock Draft Simulator, this draft order is based on my official NFL season predictions, so you can take up your complaints with me.

If your team picks outside the playoffs, I sincerely hope they prove me wrong (and I’ll probably jinx them). Without further ado, let’s get into the 2027 NFL Draft analysis.

1) Cleveland Browns

Arch Manning, Texas | QB

At 6’4″, 226 pounds, Arch Manning is the paradigm of size, athleticism, and arm talent, and while he’s still developing his accuracy and NFL-level anticipation, he’s tough, poised, sharp working the pocket, and flashes the requisite pre-snap and post-snap mentals to thrive.

2) Arizona Cardinals

Dante Moore, Oregon | QB

With his lean prototypical frame, effortless arm talent, accuracy, and platform diversity, Dante Moore bears striking similarity to CJ Stroud and should provide a level of distribution ability and elevation potential that Mike LaFleur and Co. will be happy to work with.

3) New York Jets

Leonard Moore, Notre Dame | CB

Brandon Stephens is only under contract through 2027, and while D’Angelo Ponds projects well in his place, New York may need a new boundary CB starter sooner rather than later. Leonard Moore is a true CB1 in the making with length, explosiveness, hip fluidity, physicality, route intelligence, and WR-esque ball skills.

4) Miami Dolphins

Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State | WR

At 6’3″, 223 pounds, Jeremiah Smith has the build, athleticism, catch-point skills, and physicality of an early-to-mid 2000s bully at WR, but couples it with high-level deceptive intelligence, efficiency, and fluidity as a route runner. For Malik Willis, he’s an instant WR1, and he gives Caleb Douglas a gravitational threat to play off of.

5) New Orleans Saints

Dylan Stewart, South Carolina | EDGE

At a long and lean 6’5″, 245 pounds, Dylan Stewart still needs to add more mass to size up against NFL power, but Stewart has a combination of length, propulsive athleticism, twitch, bend, and power capacity that very few players can match, and he’s still getting better.

6) Tennessee Titans

Colin Simmons, Texas | EDGE

Colin Simmons inspires awe with his hyper-elite explosion, effervescent twitch, tight cornering ability, speed-to-power, and active rush nuance, and he’d provide an instant blue-chip talent upgrade for Robert Saleh’s Tennessee Titans defense.

7) New York Giants

Justin Scott, Miami (FL) | DT

At 6’4″, 303 pounds, Justin Scott — a former five-star recruit — already has elite run defense utility with his leverage acquisition, gap intelligence, play strength, and on passing downs. For the New York Giants, he’d be a new orbit DT with immediate starting utility and alignment flex.

8) Atlanta Falcons

Jordan Seaton, LSU | OT

At 6’5″, 307 pounds, Jordan Seaton is a bit light and must seek improvements in play strength and anchor in 2026. He can also struggle with leveraging at times and needs to play with a more consistent pad level, knee bend, and controlled lean.

START PREPARING: PFN’s Free Fantasy Draft Simulator

Having said all this, Seaton is an A+ athlete with a visible power component in the run game and a diverse pass-blocking skill set with circle punches and independent strikes. For the Atlanta Falcons, he provides immediate high-level upside and left-right versatility.

9) Las Vegas Raiders

Charlie Becker, Indiana | WR

Charlie Becker is a venerable size threat at 6’3″, 209 pounds, but also grants a level of size-adjusted fluidity, route running upside, catch-point competence, and alignment-diverse blocking utility that’s rare with his build.

In a small sample in 2025, Becker dominated, putting up 3.77 yards per route run, 1.27 EPA per target, and a 26.1% catch rate over expectation. He checks every box as a separation-savvy size threat and preserves his chemistry with Fernando Mendoza here.

10) Pittsburgh Steelers

CJ Carr, Notre Dame | QB

At 6’2″, 215 pounds, CJ Carr has passable athleticism and great arm talent, but his chief selling points are his accuracy, pre-snap command, platform variability, and budding processing profile. With Pittsburgh’s weapons and O-line, Carr would be set up for success.

11) Minnesota Vikings

Jadan Baugh, Florida | RB

At 6’1″, 231 pounds, Jadan Baugh has the mass of a volume back, but the spry lateral athleticism, foot speed, and cutting flexibility of a change-of-pace runner. He weaponizes that mobility with vision and smarts, and he brings plenty of pass-down value as a receiver and blocker.

12) Washington Commanders

Tae Johnson, Notre Dame | S

Tae Johnson’s PFN Safety Impact Score of 95.8 was No. 1 in the nation last year, and the film echoes what the metrics allude to. At 6’2″, 200 pounds, Johnson is explosive, fluid, quick to react and plant downhill, he’s a high-level catch-point playmaker, and he can run the alley.

13) Kansas City Chiefs

Trevor Goosby, Texas | OT

Trevor Goosby would provide the Kansas City Chiefs with high-end size, length, natural play strength, and power, and would lock down the RT spot opposite Josh Simmons. Goosby can be a waist-bender at times, but he’s athletic, balanced, and ultra-imposing at the contact point.

14) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cam Coleman, Texas | WR

At 6’3″, 200 pounds, Cam Coleman looks built to be an X-receiver, with sprawling length, bounding explosion and speed, sudden deceleration and route running upside, and acrobatic body control at the catch point. For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he’s a BPA pick with eyes on Chris Godwin’s eventual departure.

15) New York Jets

Nico Iamaleava, UCLA | QB

Nico Iamaleava still has an early Day 3 grade from me right now, but at around 6’5″, 215 pounds, his upside is through the thermosphere. He’s a high-level athlete with a laser-like arm, who flashes exhilarating touch and drive on hole shots, and Bob Chesney might be able to help him unlock his Round 1 upside.

16) Detroit Lions

Ellis Robinson IV, Georgia | CB

With his gliding speed and burst at 6’0″, 180 pounds, Ellis Robinson IV can drift in zone and side-saddle and keenly manage space while following the QB’s eyes. And with his route intelligence, reaction speed, and playmaking, he’s always a turnover threat.

17) Philadelphia Eagles

Jamari Johnson, Oregon | TE

At 6’5″, 257 pounds, Jamari Johnson is long and lean, with the requisite explosiveness, twitch, fluidity, catch-point skills, and RAC ability to present a mismatch in the passing game, and he’s a dutiful, versatile blocker with in-line and space capabilities. Given Eli Stowers’ struggles early on, Johnson may be a “make it right” pick in 2027.

18) Los Angeles Chargers

David Stone, Oklahoma | DT

In this 2027 NFL mock draft, David Stone is a perfect value addition for LA. A former five-star recruit with domineering size and length at 6’3″, 315 pounds, Stone logged a near-elite PFN DT Impact Score of 85.9 in 2025, as well as a 5% TFL percentage.

PREDICT THE NFL SEASON: PFN’s Free NFL Playoff Predictor

At his size, Stone has hyper-elite explosiveness, power, and strength, all of which can make him almost unbeatable as a point-of-contact resetter. His hands are still relatively raw, and he can play too tall, but Stone’s dominant presence makes him hard to pass up.

19) Carolina Panthers

KJ Bolden, Georgia | DB

At around 6’0″, 195 pounds, KJ Bolden is an intense, disciplined, and versatile competitor, with the flexibility to play single-high, two-high, robber roles, and nickel. He’s twitched-up and rangy on the attack, but plays with cool patience and discipline that underpins his game, and he’d be an essential “glue guy” for Carolina’s secondary.

20) New York Jets

Greg Johnson, Minnesota | OL

Although they’re not built the same way, Greg Johnson reminds me of Steve Avila. Like Avila, Johnson’s center-guard versatility is proven, and he plays with great knee bend, a low center of gravity, uncorked square power on punches, and a strong, sturdy anchor. At either interior spot, he can provide stability for New York.

21) Baltimore Ravens

Will Echoles, Ole Miss | DT

Will Echoles just turned 20 years old and already has an 82.6 PFN DT Impact Score season under his belt, amassing 5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss in 2025. The youth and production combined are compelling, and so too is the film.

At around 6’3″, 315 pounds, Echoles is compact, well-leveraged, and heavy-set, with imposing stacking strength and extension power that makes him a gap-controlling asset in run defense, and a smooth nuance and flexibility that magnifies his pass-rush appeal.

22) San Francisco 49ers

Kade Pieper, Iowa | OC

At around 6’4″, 298 pounds, Kade Pieper is a rare athlete. Per Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List, he’s rumored to have a legendary 10-yard split of 1.52, a vertical jump of 37.4″, and a short-shuttle of 4.13, all of which would rank in the 100th percentile among centers all-time.

That explosiveness and range show up on film, and it not only gives Pieper a superpower to lean on but also feeds into his lower-body power output. For San Francisco, he’s a perfect fit and a perfect blend of need and BPA.

23) Buffalo Bills

A’Mauri Washington, Oregon | DT

At 6’3″, 339 pounds, A’Mauri Washington is a freakish physical specimen; per The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, he’s rumored to have a 36″ vertical and a max running speed over 21 MPH. On the field, those numbers manifest in a truly inhuman level of explosiveness off the snap.

With his hyper-elite linear explosion and mass, Washington can reset the contact point, limit displacement, and drive power like few other DTs. He has unique alignment versatility for his build, but fits best as a nose tackle alongside Deone Walker and Ed Oliver.

24) Houston Texans

Omarion Miller, Arizona State | WR

Alongside Nico Collins and new addition Kayshon Boutte, Omarion Miller can be a valuable hybrid movement-Z at 6’2″, 210 pounds, with ready-made RAC ability in the short range and the route-running building blocks to become a true three-level threat.

25) Dallas Cowboys

Kelley Jones, Mississippi State | CB

At around 6’4″, 196 pounds, Kelley Jones gives DC Christian Parker albatross-level length on the boundary, and he melds that superlative height and length with uncanny hinge and swivel fluidity, short-area agility, foot speed, and reactive twitch.

START PREPARING: PFN’s Free Fantasy Draft Simulator

Jones doesn’t quite have elite burst or long speed, and he needs to improve his route break response, particularly in man coverage. But Jones’ brand of mobility and pesky catch-point presence gives off echoes of Joey Porter Jr., one of the NFL’s emerging young CBs.

26) Chicago Bears

Quincy Rhodes Jr., Arkansas | EDGE

At 6’6″, 277 pounds, Quincy Rhodes Jr. would give the Chicago Bears a lot of elements they’ve been hoping to find for a while. He has the ideal power profile, mass, and length; he’s explosive and fluid on the attack, with a wicked spin, and he has alignment versatility.

Rhodes’ overall pass-rush arsenal is still being fleshed out, and he can improve at sequencing his power to take control of contact points, but with his athleticism, power capacity, and motor, he can be molded into a very exciting player.

27) Denver Broncos

Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Notre Dame | LB

Medicals will be a point of contention for Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, but his elite explosiveness, physicality, blitzing utility, and promising processing profile make him a dynamic add for Vance Joseph’s Denver defense — a defense that is long past due to stop neglecting a mediocre LB room.

28) New England Patriots

Yhonzae Pierre, Alabama | EDGE

The New England Patriots invested a decent amount in the EDGE position in 2026, signing free agent Dre’Mont Jones and drafting Gabe Jacas. But with Harold Landry set to be a free agent after the 2027 season, more capital use might be needed to prepare for turnover.

At 6’3″, 244 pounds, Yhonzae Pierre fits the wide-alignment mold of rusher that Mike Vrabel prefers in his scheme. In a breakout 2025 campaign, Pierre racked up 8 sacks, 14.5 tackles for loss, and 3 forced fumbles, all while putting his early-round potential on display.

At his size, Pierre boasts near-elite explosiveness and spastic short-area twitch and agility. His motor is unhinged, he’s reliable when it comes to aligning his base and channeling speed-to-power, and he can use rush angles to bait blockers before cornering tight angles.

29) Cincinnati Bengals

Sammy Brown, Clemson | LB

Sammy Brown is a pure athletic specimen at 6’2″, 235 pounds, with hyper-elite explosiveness and swarming range, and he also brings the willing physicality to engage blocks with ferocity and make an impact coming downhill. At his maximum, he can complete the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive overhaul as a major impact contributor.

30) Seattle Seahawks

Anto Saka, Texas A&M | EDGE

Anto Saka has the volcanic burst and power capacity at 6’4″, 255 pounds to earn the interest of Mike Macdonald, who has confidence in his own ability to coach and scheme up EDGE prospects of this mold, and there are bright flashes of operational prowess as a pass rusher on film.

31) Jacksonville Jaguars

Tavion Gadson, Kentucky | DT

At around 6’4″, 302 pounds, with near-elite proportional length, Tavion Gadson has an enticing build, and he plays beyond even that with his instant burst off the line, overwhelming raw power capacity, explosive extension power and stacking strength, and prying rotational torque.

32) Cleveland Browns

Carter Smith, Indiana | OG

At around 6’5″, 313 pounds, Carter Smith has most recently played left tackle for the Indiana Hoosiers, where he put up glowing numbers in 2025. Smith logged an elite PFN OL Impact Score of 92.8, didn’t allow a sack, and allowed a true dropback pressure rate of just 2%.

REDRAFT THE ENTIRE NFL: PFN’s Free NFL Ultimate Redraft Simulator

Smith’s metrics imply he might be able to stick at OT, but I’m of the belief his length will push him inside to guard. On the interior, he’d bear striking similarity to Peter Skoronski with his balance, leveraging, strength, athleticism, and expert technical edge.

Round 2 | 33) Cleveland Browns

Ahmad Moten Sr., DT, Miami (FL)

At 6’3″, with a beefy, well-built frame weighing over 300 pounds, Ahmad Moten Sr. has an ideal blend of natural leverage, compact mass, and proportional length, all of which is maximized by his hyper-elite first-step explosiveness. He could effectively succeed Maliek Collins.

34) Arizona Cardinals

Melvin Siani, OT, Texas

At around 6’6″, 313 pounds, with stellar proportional length, Melvin Siani is an elite athlete with high-level explosiveness and range, as well as menacing power capacity that’s magnified by his leg drive and rotational torque, and his pass blocking upside is clear.

35) New York Jets

Jaylen McClain, Ohio State | S

Jaylen McClain doesn’t have much of a production profile to evaluate right now, but don’t let that fool you: His tape is incredibly clean already for such a young player, and he’s a capable single-high, two-high, and box cover man with fluidity, range, a strong frame, and formidable support play.

36) Miami Dolphins

Zach Lutmer, Iowa | DB

The Dolphins got a needed facelift in their secondary with first-round pick Chris Johnson, but there’s still more work to do. Zach Lutmer can function as a flex DB; he projects best in the slot with his gliding athleticism, vision, and physicality, but can also play boundary CB or field safety.

37) New Orleans Saints

Dashawn Spears, LSU | S

At 6’3″, 208 pounds, Dashawn Spears is a tantalizing secondary talent with nickel and safety versatility. For his size, he’s impressively fluid and twitched-up, and his route vision and ball-hawking ability yielded more than one momentum-changing play in 2025.

38) Tennessee Titans

Austin Siereveld, Ohio State | OG

On the interior, Austin Siereveld projects extremely well with his raw strength, power, and rotational torque on extensions. With that physical prowess and his dominating, almost spiteful physicality, he can overwhelm opponents in a phone booth.

39) New York Giants

Ashton Hampton, Clemson | CB

While Ashton Hampton isn’t the most explosive on the vertical plane and can improve his ball skills, he’s extremely long, competitive, smart, technically diverse, with elite size-adjusted fluidity, and can lay the foundation for a new-and-improved secondary alongside Colton Hood in New York.

40) Atlanta Falcons

Mateen Ibirogba, Texas Tech | DT

Mateen Ibirogba’s explosive element is truly uncommon, as is his power profile at 3-tech. With more hand usage and leveraging development, he has the upside to grow into a game-wrecker, and he’s an incredibly exciting fit in Jeff Ulbrich’s scheme.

41) Las Vegas Raiders

Trevor Lauck, Iowa | OT

At around 6’6″ and 314 pounds, Trevor Lauck played left tackle full-time in his first season as a starter at Iowa. He arguably projects better inside to guard with his tall play style and middling length, but the Raiders could try him out at OT first.

DIVE IN: PFN’s NFL Draft HQ: Draft Prospect Analysis, Stats & Info

At either position, Lauck can unleash his explosive lower-body power and active hands in a phone booth, and his domineering physicality working through contact, and he has the angle IQ and range to be an asset as a puller and climber in the run game.

42) Pittsburgh Steelers

Chris Cole, Georgia | LB

At 6’3″, 235 pounds, with bounding long-strider burst and range, Chris Cole passes the eye test with flying colors and shows legitimate upside as a block engager, coverage defender, and blitzer. The consistency is still coming along, but he’s worth investing in.

43) Minnesota Vikings

Evan Tengesdahl, Cincinnati | OL

At 6’3″, 325 pounds, Evan Tengesdahl is a heavy-set lineman with a strong center of gravity, powerful hands, and a grueling physical edge. Much like the Texans did with Keylan Rutledge, the Vikings could target Tengesdahl — himself a former high school center — to play at the fulcrum in 2027.

44) Washington Commanders

Zabien Brown, Alabama | CB

While Zabien Brown’s non-elite athleticism may push him down the board, he’s an agile, instinctive, and physical CB with clean technique, excellent run support ability, and playmaking chops. In Washington, his cerebral style and slot-boundary flex would be an asset.

45) Kansas City Chiefs

Trey’Dez Green, LSU | TE

Trey’Dez Green lacks much in the way of a blocking element, but for Patrick Mahomes and a Chiefs offense that desperately needs a successor to Travis Kelce in Andy Reid’s scheme, Green’s route running, RAC, and body control at 6’7″, 237 pounds should bear fruit.

46) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jayden Maiava, USC | QB

Baker Mayfield may be on the tail end of his prime in Tampa Bay, and if he remains volatile in 2026, a successor may be in demand. Jayden Maiava shares that volatility and gunslinger aggression, but he’s arguably a higher-upside QB at this stage, with nimble mobility, elastic arm talent, and toughness.

47) Indianapolis Colts

Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Ohio State | EDGE

The Colts might not be keen to dip into the well of Ohio State edge rushers again after Jaylahn Tuimoloau’s slow start, but Kenyatta Jackson Jr. is an ascending talent with a formidable power profile, which has already yielded early-down alignment versatility and pocket-crunching power.

48) Detroit Lions

Koi Perich, Oregon | DB

With 6 interceptions and 5.5 tackles for loss over the past two seasons, Koi Perich’s playmaking upside is tantalizing, and though he desperately needs to rebound as a tackler in 2026, his athleticism, instincts, and coverage variability make him a prudent investment.

49) Philadelphia Eagles

Matayo Uiagalelei, Oregon | EDGE

At 6’5″, 272 pounds, Matayo Uiagalelei gives Philadelphia the complete package of burst, power, bend, and nuanced execution they’ve been seeking for a long time off the edge, and he can compete in the run game as well.

50) Los Angeles Chargers

Brice Pollock, Texas Tech | CB

Brice Pollock was elite in 2025, accruing a PFN CB Impact Score of 92.8 that ranked among first-round picks Mansoor Delane and Chris Johnson. A keen-eyed ball-hawk in zone, Pollock would be perfect for the Chargers’ tendencies that should remain an echo of former defensive coordinator Jesse Minter’s scheme.

51) Carolina Panthers

Whit Weeks, LSU | LB

In my opinion, Whit Weeks’ healthy 2024 film should place him in the LB1 conversation in the 2027 NFL Draft, especially if he can get back to that level in 2026. He’s a well-rounded three-down LB with range, engagement physicality, and smooth coverage skills.

52) Dallas Cowboys

Nick Marsh, Indiana | WR

On my scale, Nick Marsh earns a trait bonus in every gradeable category, but he also doesn’t reach the “elite” mark in any category. He’s a great size-speed specimen with competent route-running skills, catch-point ability, and RAC, and he profiles as a superb WR2.

53) Baltimore Ravens

OJ Frederique Jr., Miami (FL) | CB

For Baltimore, the 6’0″, 185-pound OJ Frederique Jr. would be an enticing fit with zone vision and instant man coverage chops. Frederique is a gnat-like presence with swarming quickness, recovery burst and speed, crisp fluidity, physicality, and the technical variability to adapt.

54) San Francisco 49ers

Jelani McDonald, Texas | S

At 6’2″, 200 pounds, with brisk explosiveness, a sudden reactive coil, keen route vision, and ball-hawking ability, Jelani McDonald can be a quality starter alongside either Ji’Ayir Brown or Malik Mustapha, with single-high, two-high, and box patrolling ability.

55) Buffalo Bills

Bray Hubbard, Alabama | S

At 6’2″, 217 pounds, with 7 career interceptions, Bray Hubbard brings an exciting blend of playmaking skills, football intelligence, and run support utility to the fold, and he could be a quality complement for Cole Bishop, particularly in two-high and box looks.

56) Houston Texans

Kewan Lacy, Ole Miss | RB

David Montgomery is under contract through 2027, but will be nearing 31 years old at the expiration of his deal. As such, Houston could target a runner like Kewan Lacy as a value option in the 2027 NFL Draft, whose quickness, fluidity, and spatial feel are all reminiscent of James Cook.

57) Green Bay Packers

Vicari Swain, South Carolina | CB

At 6’0″, 193 pounds, Vicari Swain has the perfect blend of explosiveness, length, fluidity, and corrective quickness, as well as swift deceleration and sink overtop route breaks, and there are glimpses of exceptional playmaking ability on film. In this 2027 NFL mock draft, he joins former college teammate Brandon Cisse in Green Bay.

58) Chicago Bears

Jacarrius Peak, South Carolina | OL

At 6’4″, 292 pounds, Jacarrius Peak isn’t a typically built tackle, but in a thin OT class, he stands out with his natural leveraging skills, proportional length, explosive athleticism, active hands, and punishing physicality as a finisher. In Chicago, he could provide insurance at either OT or OG with both Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney on expiring deals after 2027.

59) Denver Broncos

Samson Okunlola, Miami (FL) | OG

Samson Okunlola is still incredibly raw with his hand usage and leveraging, but at around 6’6″ and 330 pounds, he has the elite size, athleticism, raw strength, and power output to dominate in the trenches, especially in Denver’s inside zone and gap-heavy scheme.

60) New England Patriots

Mario Craver, Texas A&M | WR

If Demario Douglas leaves in free agency next offseason, Mario Craver is a picture-perfect replacement in the slot, with a similar size profile but superior explosive athleticism, speed, and RAC ability, and he holds up well in body control situations for his size.

61) Cincinnati Bengals

LJ Martin, BYU | RB

LJ Martin isn’t a burner by any stretch, but at 6’2″, 225 pounds, he’s fleet-footed, smooth, and fluid, with a blend of creative intelligence and forward-pressing physicality that makes him tailor-made to be an NFL volume back, and he can help fill the void that might be left if Chase Brown leaves in free agency.

62) Seattle Seahawks

Cayden Green, Missouri | OG

Naturally, with his tall 6’5″, 325-pound frame, Cayden Green plays too far upright at times, but he’s ultimately an explosive, heavy-handed, and ultra-physical blocker, whose experience at both tackle and guard grants versatility.

63) Jacksonville Jaguars

Rasheem Biles, Texas | LB

Though Rasheem Biles is undersized at 6’1″, 225 pounds, he’s explosive, twitched-up, a sharp processor, and is quantifiably elite in coverage, with compelling blitzing utility as a bonus.

64) Los Angeles Rams

Wyatt Young, Oklahoma State | WR

While Wyatt Young doesn’t have high-end size or speed, his alignment versatility, route-running chops, catch-point skills, and RAC element are all reminiscent of Cooper Kupp, and that’s a mold the Los Angeles Rams are very, very familiar with.

Round 3 | 65) Cleveland Browns

Anthony Smith, Minnesota | EDGE

At a lean 6’6″, 285 pounds, Anthony Smith has the power profile and alignment versatility that would be right at home in Cleveland, especially in light of Alex Wright’s season-ending injury, and he has inspiring flexibility for his size.

66) Arizona Cardinals

Clev Lubin, Louisville | EDGE

For several years on end, the Cardinals have been hunting for pass-rush ability on the edge. At 6’2″, 267 pounds, Clev Lubin is one of the most prolific pass-rushers in the class, with speed-to-power, a counter arsenal, and an unhinged motor.

67) New York Jets

Bear Alexander, Oregon | DT

Bear Alexander has resurrected his career at Oregon, and at 6’3″, 302 pounds, he has the high-end explosiveness, compact mass, and line resetting ability that the New York Jets need as they rebuild their interior DL post-Quinnen Williams.

68) Miami Dolphins

Adam Trick, Texas Tech | EDGE

At 6’4″, 250 pounds, Adam Trick needs to keep improving his play strength and power component, but Trick’s elite explosion, bend, and motor would be invaluable on a Miami defensive front that needs more pass-rush utility, and he also has the versatility to drop in coverage.

69) New Orleans Saints

Anthonie Knapp, Notre Dame | OL

While Anthonie Knapp is undersized and needs to improve his play strength, he’s a compelling long-term guard prospect with good athleticism, leveraging, power, footwork, flexibility, and finishing physicality. In New Orleans, he could provide insurance at either guard or center.

70) Tennessee Titans

Isaac Brown, Louisville | RB

An uncompromising dynamo with elite big-play generation skills, Isaac Brown adds a “lightning” element to the Titans’ backfield and has the creative feel to take over as a potential replacement for Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

71) New York Giants

Iapani Laloulu, Oregon | OC

At 6’2″, 329 pounds, Iapani Laloulu has many of the natural traits you would want in a center: a low center of gravity, natural leverage, elite compact mass, and high-level anchor strength and extension power. He’s a marginal athlete, but his strength and IQ bode well, and he can help New York move on from John Michael Schmitz.

72) Atlanta Falcons

Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss | QB

Trinidad Chambliss’ age and lack of high-end arm strength will be sticking points in his evaluation, but it’s hard to deny he has the processing, quick trigger, accuracy, and evasion skills to not only command an offense but also withstand adversity and create.

73) Las Vegas Raiders

Xavier Scott, Illinois | DB

Xavier Scott will be an older rookie, and he needs to return to 100% coming off an injury-impacted 2025 season. However, at his best, he’s a versatile presence with nickel and safety versatility, who could eventually replace veteran Taron Johnson in the slot.

74) Pittsburgh Steelers

Junior Poyser, Wisconsin | DT

At around 6’3″, 320 pounds, with a rumored 30-inch vertical, Junior Poyser is an extremely tools-rich DT, who will get his chance to shine in the Big Ten this year after racking up 5.5 sacks with Buffalo in 2025. With improved pad level, Poyser can contend for the nose tackle role in Pittsburgh’s defense.

75) Minnesota Vikings

Brendan Sorsby, N/A | QB

Brendan Sorsby’s ill-fated 2026 offseason will be a point of contention among NFL teams next cycle, but Minnesota might be motivated to kick the tires in Round 3. Kevin O’Connell could perhaps get the most out of his athleticism and arm talent.

76) Washington Commanders

Braelin Moore, LSU | OC

At around 6’2″, 301 pounds, Braelin Moore is assuredly undersized, but his leverage game is elite, he’s intelligent with his angles, he’s an explosive, energized athlete, and he relishes in the chance to drive defenders out of lanes and finish with menacing physicality.

77) Kansas City Chiefs

Junior Sherrill, Vanderbilt | WR

An alignment-versatile slasher with explosiveness, terse corrective twitch, and high-level RAC ability, Junior Sherrill can magnify the Chiefs’ strengths at WR, while also providing the skill set of a legitimate independent separator against man and zone coverage.

78) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kayin Lee, Tennessee | CB

While Kayin Lee is a bit smaller than the Buccaneers usually prefer, he’s fast, explosive, fluid, and versatile between man and zone looks, with the playmaking precision to play beyond his size profile at the catch.

79) Indianapolis Colts

A.J. Holmes Jr., Texas Tech | DT

With 6.5 sacks and 17.5 TFLs over the past two seasons, as well as a top-10 PFN DT Impact Score in 2025, A.J. Holmes Jr.’s production is verified. And at 6’2″, 300 pounds, he’s a proven sawed-off disruptor with explosiveness, quickness, power, and a red-hot motor.

80) Detroit Lions

Ahmad Hardy, Missouri | RB

Ahmad Hardy is relatively one-dimensional as a prospect, but one aspect of his game is truly generational, and that’s his contact balance. In Detroit’s offense, he’d serve as a new iteration of the David Montgomery volume skill set alongside Jahmyr Gibbs. Sonic and Knuckles, welcome back.

81) Minnesota Vikings

Jayden Bellamy, UCF | CB

If the Vikings don’t get the play they’re looking for out of James Pierre, Jayden Bellamy can take the torch as a potential boundary starter with his length, athleticism, fluidity, technical variability, route vision, and two-phase playmaking.

82) Los Angeles Chargers

Cole Sullivan, Oklahoma | LB

At 6’4″, 230 pounds, Cole Sullivan is a riser candidate with swarming full-field range, fluidity, inspiring coverage feel, and blitzing versatility, and with added mass, he can thrive on early downs. It also helps that coach Jim Harbaugh can talk to some of his former Michigan connections about Sullivan.

83) Carolina Panthers

Jamari Sharpe, Indiana | CB

A zone coverage savant, Jamari Sharpe is an especially good fit for Ejiro Evero’s scheme. Across from Jaycee Horn, he can provide a competent replacement for Mike Jackson with his speed, length, ball skills, and plant-and-drive efficiency overtop route breaks.

84) Dallas Cowboys

Chris Corbo, Georgia Tech | TE

At 6’5″, 250 pounds, Chris Corbo has the size and physicality to project well in-line, and as a receiver, he’s one of the most fluid and malleable athletes in the class, with a diverse route tree and quick reaction skills that’ll be maximized as a TE2 alongside Jake Ferguson in Dallas.

85) Baltimore Ravens

Suntarine Perkins, Ole Miss | LB

Suntarine Perkins is a touch too light at 6’1″, 216 pounds, but if he can add more mass, his range, stack-and-shed ability, pass-rush chops, and coverage utility are all certified, and his motor and football IQ make him an indispensable second-level piece.

86) San Francisco 49ers

Sahir West, UCLA | DL

At 6’3″, 279 pounds, Sahir West is a bit of a tweener, but he offers explosive, fleet-footed athleticism at that size, and flashes very real power drive working face-up or slanting across gaps, as evidenced by his 7 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2025. San Francisco’s creative approach could help West thrive as a two-phase disruptive.

87) Buffalo Bills

Brandon Baker, Texas | OG

Brandon Baker began his Texas career at tackle, but will shift to guard in 2026, and projects well on the interior as a stout, strong, and well-leveraged gap sentry with a technician’s feel and vision.

88) Houston Texans

DJ Hicks, Texas A&M | DT

Uber-explosive, agile, and powerful, but raw with his hand usage, DJ Hicks is the consummate buy-low investment on Day 2. The raw talent is Round-1 caliber, and at 6’3″, 295 pounds, he fits the leverage profile the Texans like to rotate in.

89) Green Bay Packers

AJ Green, Louisville | EDGE

With Lukas Van Ness’ returns unclear and Micah Parsons still ramping back up from injury, the Packers may soon need more talent on the edge. AJ Green gives them length, agility, bend, and power potential to mold, and his peak pass-rush reps are eye-catching.

90) Chicago Bears

Issa Ouattara, Vanderbilt | DL

If Issa Ouattara, an international product from Germany, can stay healthy and keep developing his hand usage, there’s upside in the vein of Calais Campbell here, with Ouattara’s explosion, twitch, lean mass, length, and lower-body power drive.

91) Denver Broncos

Andrew Rappleyea, Penn State | TE

Andrew Rappleyea hasn’t had much of a chance to produce yet, but he’s already a high-end blocker at 6’4″, 250 pounds, with the explosive athleticism, foot speed, fluidity, and catch-point skills to emerge as a true receiving threat in 2026.

92) New England Patriots

Ben Roberts, Texas Tech | LB

Eventually, the Patriots will need to find a replacement at LB alongside veteran Robert Spillane. At around 6’3″, 245 pounds, Ben Roberts provides size and play strength, and also possesses exceptional spatial feel and playmaking ability in zone coverage.

93) Cincinnati Bengals

Brody Foley, TE, Louisville

At 6’6″, 260 pounds, with great size, explosiveness, fluidity, route variability, and RAC efficiency, Brody Foley is built to be a versatile seam and red zone threat, and he can effectively be a two-phase upgrade over Mike Gesicki in Cincinnati.

94) Seattle Seahawks

Jayden Scott, NC State | RB

Keep an eye on Jayden Scott as a sleeper and a potential riser in the 2027 NFL Draft class. This is his first season as an eligible prospect, but the 5’10”, 223-pound back is rumored to have 4.35 speed, and on film, he offers a blend of burst, contact balance, creative IQ, and elusiveness that’s reserved for early-round picks.

95) Jacksonville Jaguars

Antwan Raymond, Rutgers | RB

With Bhayshul Tuten still unproven in a volume role, the Jaguars could use next year’s cycle to target a rotational RB with high-floor qualities. Antwan Raymond provides the requisite disposition and natural leverage, but also brings elite vision and creative instincts.

96) Kansas City Chiefs

Zeke Berry, Michigan | CB

Zeke Berry’s instincts can still be volatile in zone coverage, just as his reaction speed on breaks in man coverage can also be. But Berry has the right move set for NFL man coverage, showcases willing physicality, flashes good playmaking ability, and already has a wealth of nickel experience.

97) Cincinnati Bengals

Peyton Bowen, Oklahoma | S

Having logged a strong PFN Safety Impact Score of 82.1 in 2025, Peyton Bowen is a reliable playmaker at 6’0″, 200 pounds, with good range, fluidity, and two-phase conversion skills, and his high-end football IQ can render him an early insertion.

98) Philadelphia Eagles

Kemari Copeland, Virginia Tech | DT

Kemari Copeland’s health may come up as an issue down the stretch in the 2027 NFL Draft cycle, but in the mold of a sawed-off disruptor, Copeland has the explosiveness and agility to terrorize blockers in tight spaces, and he could be a solid replacement for Moro Ojomo.

99) Los Angeles Chargers

Ryan Coleman-Williams, Alabama | WR

He’s not close to DeVonta Smith yet, but with a bounce-back 2026, Ryan Coleman-Williams does have early-round upside. In Mike McDaniel’s scheme, Coleman-Williams’ searing speed, sudden route running ability, and RAC could be utilized to the max alongside Ladd McConkey.
