Click Here to Go To the NFL Draft Hub 2026 NFL Draft Live Tracker Best Available Players After Day One 1. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 17 McCoy is the top remaining player on the Football Scout 365 board and the biggest Round 1 slide from our perspective. The talent is still first-round caliber. He brings press-man physicality, patient footwork, recovery speed, and advanced route recognition. The medical variable tied to his ACL recovery is the reason he remains available, but the coverage profile still points to CB1 upside. Best Team Fits: The Dallas Cowboys make the most sense if McCoy reaches their Day 2 range. Cornerback remains a clear need, and McCoy’s press-man traits fit a defense that needs more high-end perimeter coverage. The Minnesota Vikings also stand out after passing on cornerback in Round 1. McCoy would give them the type of long-term outside corner they have been searching for. 2. Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 22 Hood is one of the cleanest cornerback values left on the board. He has the size, speed, length, and competitive profile to play outside, while also offering enough short-area quickness to handle certain slot matchups. His ball skills and route recognition translate well to press-man, off-man, and match-zone systems. Best Team Fits: The New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks all fit the profile. New Orleans needs cornerback help early on Day 2. Green Bay could use another physical coverage player in the secondary. Seattle passed on cornerback in Round 1 and could circle back to the position if Hood slides into their range. 3. Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 24 Kilgore is one of the most versatile defensive backs still available. He can align at safety, in the slot, and in certain boundary looks, giving defensive coordinators a movable piece on the back end. His best traits are processing speed, zone awareness, short-area burst, and the ability to trigger downhill with urgency. Best Team Fits: The Cincinnati Bengals are a strong fit because of their need for defensive upgrades at multiple levels. Kilgore’s versatility would give them flexibility in sub-packages. The Atlanta Falcons also make sense for a defense that can use more speed and multiplicity in the secondary. Minnesota is another logical landing spot if it wants to add a defensive back with more alignment flexibility. 4. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 25 Boston is the top remaining wide receiver on the Football Scout 365 board. He is a big-bodied boundary receiver who wins with catch strength, body positioning, and red-zone production. He is not a pure vertical separator, but he understands leverage and creates throwing windows with size, timing, and physicality. Best Team Fits: The New York Jets are the cleanest fit at the top of Round 2. Boston would give them a physical boundary option to complement Garrett Wilson. The Tennessee Titans also make sense if they want to add size and reliability to the passing game. Cleveland could be in play as well if it prioritizes a possession-based perimeter target. 5. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 28 Terrell is a twitchy, competitive corner with quick feet, fluid hips, and strong route recognition. He plays bigger than his size and brings excellent run support value. His instincts, motor, and coverage discipline give him one of the higher floors among the remaining defensive backs. Best Team Fits: Kansas City is a strong fit after losing key pieces in the secondary and needing more cornerback depth. New Orleans could also target Terrell if it wants a competitive nickel/outside hybrid. Green Bay makes sense as a team that values coverage intelligence and physicality in the secondary. 6. Kayden McDonald, IDL, Ohio State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 29 McDonald is one of the top interior defensive linemen left on the board. At 6’3”, 326 pounds, he brings density, leverage, power, and true anchor strength. He is not a finished pass rusher, but his value as an early-down run defender is clear. He can occupy double teams, reset the line of scrimmage, and protect linebackers. Best Team Fits: The New York Giants make a lot of sense after trading Dexter Lawrence and needing to rebuild the interior defensive front. Houston also fits if it wants a physical early-down presence inside. Kansas City could be another landing spot if it prioritizes defensive line depth and run-game structure. 7. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 31 McNeil-Warren is a long, downhill, tone-setting safety with a defined NFL role. He thrives near the line of scrimmage as a box defender, robber, or split-safety trigger player. His anticipation, physicality, and urgency against the run give him immediate sub-package value. Best Team Fits: The Chicago Bears stand out as a natural fit after losing safety depth and needing more physicality on the back end. Cincinnati also makes sense if it wants a downhill defender who can play robber looks and help stabilize the middle of the field. 8. T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 32 Parker is a power-based edge defender with NFL-ready strength, violent hands, and strong edge-setting ability. He wins with leverage and force more than elite bend, but his ability to compress the pocket and play through contact gives him a clear Day 2 profile. Best Team Fits: Cleveland is a logical fit if it wants more edge depth and power opposite its primary rushers. New Orleans also makes sense given its need for defensive front help. Baltimore could value Parker’s toughness, physicality, and ability to play heavy downs in a multiple-front structure. 9. Lee Hunter, IDL, Texas Tech Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 36 Hunter is a massive, powerful interior defender built to control the A-gaps. He wins with leverage, heavy hands, and functional explosiveness off the snap. He is not a dynamic penetrator, but he can collapse the pocket with power and create structure for the rest of the front. Best Team Fits: Houston is one of the cleanest fits if it wants a high-floor interior anchor early on Day 2. The New York Giants also make sense as they continue reshaping the defensive line after the Dexter Lawrence trade. Hunter would give either team early-down mass and power inside. 10. Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 37 Moore is a power-based edge defender with starter traits built around leverage, leg drive, and speed-to-power conversion. His game is not built on elite first-step burst or corner flexibility, but he can collapse tackles into the pocket and win through physicality. Best Team Fits: Kansas City fits if it wants another edge/front player with power and inside-out flexibility. New Orleans is also a logical landing spot because of its need for defensive line help. Green Bay could be in play if it wants another strong-side edge who can set the edge and rush with force. 11. D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 38 Ponds is one of the most productive defensive backs still available, with seven interceptions and 32 pass breakups across his college career. The size profile will be the debate, but the instincts, route recognition, competitiveness, and ball production are legitimate Day 2 traits. He projects best as a high-impact nickel or versatile CB2 in a match-zone or off-man-heavy system. Best Team Fits: Miami, Kansas City, New Orleans, Detroit, and Dallas all make sense. Miami and Kansas City need immediate cornerback help, New Orleans remains active in the Day 2 corner market, Detroit could use more nickel flexibility, and Dallas hosted Ponds on a Top 30 visit. 12. Christen Miller, IDL, Georgia Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 39 Miller is one of the better developmental interior defensive linemen still available. He has the frame, first-step quickness, and active hands to play as a rotational 3-technique early, with the upside to become more impactful as his rush plan matures. The consistency is still developing, but the front versatility and physical profile are strong. Best Team Fits: Atlanta is the cleanest fit based on need and pre-draft engagement. The Falcons need more interior disruption and spent significant time on Miller during the process. The Giants, Packers, Broncos, and Bears also make sense as teams that could use defensive line depth and hybrid-front flexibility. 13. Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 41 Cisse is a traits-based corner with real movement upside. He brings speed, burst, fluidity, and vision in coverage. His ability to stay connected vertically and close on throws gives him one of the more intriguing ceilings among the remaining cornerbacks. He is not a finished press-man corner, but the athletic profile gives him starter upside with technical development. Best Team Fits: Seattle is the strongest team fit. The Seahawks have been heavily connected to Cisse and make sense if they want a long, explosive corner with developmental upside. Kansas City, Cleveland, Miami, and Green Bay also fit as teams that need more perimeter coverage depth. 14. A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 42 Haulcy has one of the strongest safety profiles left on the board. He brings experience, production, and alignment versatility with 44 career starts, 347 tackles, and 10 interceptions. At 215 pounds with 4.52 speed, he has the size and range to handle multiple safety roles. He can play deep, rotate down, cover the boundary, or function as a big nickel. Best Team Fits: Chicago is the best fit if the Bears want to replace lost safety production and add a reliable back-end defender. Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Carolina, Philadelphia, and Buffalo also make sense. Carolina and Buffalo both had notable pre-draft interest. 15. Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 43 Howell is one of the top remaining pass rushers on the Football Scout 365 board. He is slightly undersized, but he wins with twitch, urgency, leverage, and a diverse rush plan. His explosiveness and technical development give him a clear Day 2 profile as a stand-up rusher or hybrid edge in a multiple-front defense. Best Team Fits: Detroit, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and Miami are logical fits. Tampa Bay stands out as a strong connection, while Detroit and Arizona both make sense for a twitchy edge who can add pass-rush juice. Miami could also view Howell as one of the better edge values left. 16. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 44 Rodriguez is one of the most instinctive linebackers left on the board. He is undersized by traditional standards, but his processing, toughness, run fits, and turnover production are outstanding. Thirteen career forced fumbles, including seven last season, match the tape. He fits best as a MIKE/WILL in a 4-3 zone-match defense or hybrid 4-2-5 structure. Best Team Fits: Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Arizona all make sense. Cincinnati hosted Rodriguez on a Top 30 visit and has a clear need for more linebacker range and toughness. Tampa Bay is another strong fit because of his downhill instincts and defensive temperament. 17. Keionte Scott, CB, Miami Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 45 Scott is a scheme-specific nickel defender with legitimate playmaking ability. His value comes from versatility, blitz timing, downhill trigger ability, and sub-package impact. He is one of the most effective blitzing defensive backs in this class and brings real disruption from the slot. He is not a full-time outside corner, but he can be a valuable STAR, nickel, or hybrid box defender. Best Team Fits: Houston, Miami, Chicago, Washington, and Seattle all fit. Houston hosted Scott on a Top 30 visit and makes sense if it wants more slot pressure and sub-package versatility. Chicago and Washington also showed pre-draft interest and could use his nickel/box flexibility. 18. Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 47 Hill is the best athletic linebacker left on the board. His testing backs up the tape: 4.51 speed, 37-inch vertical, and 10’5” broad jump at 238 pounds. The production is also strong, with 249 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and eight forced fumbles. He is at his best attacking downhill, blitzing interior gaps, scraping to the perimeter, and closing with force. Best Team Fits: Jacksonville, the Rams, Cincinnati, and Buffalo all make sense. Jacksonville could use a rangy second-level defender. The Rams fit if they want more athleticism and blitz value. Cincinnati and Buffalo both have logical linebacker needs and could value Hill’s explosive profile. 19. Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 48 Abney is a strong processing corner with instincts, awareness, and ball production. He is not an elite athlete, but he sees routes develop quickly, communicates well, and plays with a “see ball, get ball” mentality in zone and off coverage. His best NFL fit is in Cover 3, match-zone, and off-man systems that protect him from excessive isolated press-man reps. Best Team Fits: Washington is one of the cleanest fits if Abney reaches Round 3. Carolina and Jacksonville also make sense as teams that could target value at corner later in the draft. His projection is more late Day 2 than early Round 2. 20. Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 49 Wheatley is a long, rangy safety with developmental upside. His best projection comes in two-high structures where he can play with vision, overlap routes, and use his range from depth. He still needs to become more consistent as a processor and tackler, but the length and coverage traits give him a path to an NFL role. Best Team Fits: Pittsburgh and New England are the top fits. Pittsburgh could target him later as a developmental safety with special teams value. New England hosted him on a Top 30 visit and could see him as a two-high developmental piece. 21. Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 51 Stukes is a versatile nickel/safety hybrid with explosive testing and sub-package value. His 4.33 speed and 10’10” broad jump show up in his downhill trigger and ability to close space. He is at his best playing with vision, matching routes, and creating disruption from the slot or big nickel alignment. Best Team Fits: Minnesota is a strong fit because of its safety need and schematic flexibility. Pittsburgh, the Rams, Arizona, and Atlanta also make sense. Arizona had notable pre-draft engagement, while the Rams fit because of Stukes’ nickel/safety versatility. 22. Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 52 Trotter is a physical, box-oriented linebacker with downhill temperament and tone-setting value against the run. He wins with toughness, contact balance, and the ability to trigger into interior gaps. The concern is the athletic profile in space, where hip stiffness and zone coverage limitations could create matchup issues at the next level. He projects best as an early-down MIKE or downhill run defender in a system that protects him from extended man coverage and allows him to play forward. Best Team Fits: Denver, the Rams, Cincinnati, and Dallas all make sense. Denver has been a frequent landing spot and needs more linebacker stability. The Rams could use second-level physicality. Cincinnati had notable pre-draft interest, and Dallas remains a logical fit given its linebacker need. 23. C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 53 Allen is one of the cleanest linebacker evaluations left on the board. He profiles as a three-down MIKE with strong processing, tackling efficiency, and communication skills. He is not the flashiest athlete in the class, but he wins with instincts, technique, and the ability to keep a defense organized. With only one linebacker selected in Round 1, Allen becomes one of the top second-level defenders available. He has the profile of an immediate floor-raiser for a defense that needs stability in the middle. Best Team Fits: Denver, Dallas, Buffalo, and Tampa Bay all fit. Denver has one of the clearest linebacker needs in this range. Dallas did not address the position in Round 1. Buffalo has long-term uncertainty at linebacker, and Tampa Bay could use another steady second-level presence. 24. Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 54 Golday is a big, explosive linebacker with a pass-rush background and tone-setting traits near the line of scrimmage. He has the tools to impact the run game, pressure interior gaps, and add value as a downhill attacker. The developmental question is processing consistency, particularly when asked to sort through misdirection and coverage spacing. He fits best in an aggressive front that lets him play downhill, blitz, and use his size-speed profile as a pressure piece. Best Team Fits: Cincinnati is the strongest fit based on need and pre-draft engagement. Indianapolis, the Rams, and Denver also make sense. The Colts need more linebacker range, the Rams could use an explosive second-level defender, and Denver remains firmly in the linebacker market. 25. Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 55 Louis is an athletic, coverage-capable linebacker with sub-package value. His best traits show up in space, where he can run, match, and operate as a WILL or rover type in a modern defensive structure. The frame and block deconstruction are the concerns, especially if teams ask him to consistently take on guards in the box. He projects best in a 4-2-5 or nickel-heavy defense that can use his range, coverage ability, and pursuit speed while limiting the number of direct interior collisions. Best Team Fits: Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta stand out. Tampa Bay could use a coverage-capable linebacker in sub-packages. Pittsburgh makes sense as a team that values physical, instinctive second-level defenders and could use more range. Atlanta fits if it wants a hybrid linebacker who can function in space within a 4-2-5 structure. Best Available Players After Day Two 1. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 17 McCoy is the most talented player left on the Football Scout 365 board and the biggest slide of the draft. He brings press-man physicality, patient footwork, recovery speed, and advanced route recognition. The ACL recovery is the only reason he remains available, but the coverage profile still points to CB1 upside. He has the movement skills, ball skills, and competitive temperament to start early. Best Team Fits: Arizona and Minnesota stand out. The Cardinals were connected to McCoy as a potential Day 2 slide-stopper, while the Vikings passed on cornerback in Round 1 and still need a long-term outside starter. 2. Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 24 Kilgore is a versatile safety with corner-like movement skills, strong vision, and high-end closing speed. He can align from depth, rotate into the slot, or trigger downhill in match-zone looks. His ability to play with vision on the quarterback and close throwing windows gives him legitimate sub-package and long-term starter value. Best Team Fits: New England and Seattle make sense as defensive back-needy teams that value instinctive coverage players. Kilgore also fits zone-heavy defenses that allow him to play with vision and trigger downhill. 3. Keionte Scott, CB, Miami Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 45 Scott is a big-play nickel defender with real disruption value. He can blitz, trigger downhill, play around the line of scrimmage, and function as a sub-package playmaker. His value is highest in a defense that uses the nickel as a pressure piece rather than asking him to live as a traditional outside corner. Best Team Fits: Pittsburgh and Dallas both make sense because of their secondary needs and willingness to use versatile defensive backs in multiple roles. Scott’s blitz package and slot flexibility give him immediate sub-package value. 4. Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 48 Abney is a feisty, instinctive defensive back with strong ball skills and a quick trigger in coverage. He plays with a “see ball, get ball” mentality and has the awareness to diagnose routes from the slot or in off-zone looks. He is not an elite athlete, but his processing and competitiveness give him a clear NFL role. Best Team Fits: Pittsburgh fits if it wants a slot defender with instincts and turnover upside. Abney also fits any pattern-match or zone-heavy defense that values route recognition and ball production over pure long speed. 5. Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 49 Wheatley is a long, rangy safety with developmental upside. His best projection comes in two-high structures where he can play with vision, overlap routes, and use his range from depth. He still needs to become more consistent as a processor and tackler, but the length and coverage traits give him a path to an NFL role. Best Team Fits: Pittsburgh and New England are logical fits. Pittsburgh could target him as a developmental safety with special teams value, while New England hosted him on a Top 30 visit and could see him as a two-high developmental piece. 6. Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 55 Louis is one of the more underrated linebackers still available. He brings fluid movement skills, coverage ability, and enough downhill toughness to function in a modern sub-package defense. His best projection comes as a WILL or rover type who can run, cover, and operate in space. Best Team Fits: Minnesota and Indianapolis both need linebacker depth and ask second-level defenders to handle coverage responsibilities. Louis fits either profile as an athletic linebacker with three-down potential. 7. Bryce Boettcher, LB, Oregon Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 58 Boettcher is a high-motor linebacker with solid instincts and special teams value. He profiles as a reliable run-and-chase defender who can contribute immediately in the kicking game while developing into a defensive role. His floor comes from effort, toughness, and assignment discipline. Best Team Fits: Dallas and Green Bay make sense as teams that value linebacker depth and special teams utility. Both could use a developmental second-level defender with immediate roster value. 8. Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 60 Muhammad is a young, athletic corner with the tools to develop into a future starter. He has press-capable traits and enough movement ability to stay attached in coverage, but he still needs refinement with technique, route anticipation, and consistency at the catch point. Best Team Fits: Miami and Carolina both fit as teams that need cornerback depth and have room to develop a younger coverage prospect. Muhammad gives either team a traits-based perimeter option. 9. Keyshaun Elliott, LB, Arizona State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 65 Elliott is a versatile linebacker with enough movement skills to contribute in space and enough toughness to factor against the run. His value comes from range, instincts, and the ability to function in sub-packages, where he can match underneath routes and trigger downhill. Best Team Fits: Jacksonville and Las Vegas both need second-level depth and value defenders who can handle multiple roles. Elliott fits as a developmental linebacker with sub-package and special teams value. 10. Skyler Bell, WR, Connecticut Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 67 Bell is a legitimate vertical speed threat with the ability to stretch the field and create spacing for an offense. His speed gives him immediate value as a field-stretcher, and he can threaten defenses vertically from multiple alignments. Best Team Fits: New England and Las Vegas both need receiver help and could use a speed element to open space underneath. Bell fits as a vertical role player with early special teams upside. 11. Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 68 Coleman is a compact, dynamic runner with receiving value and open-field playmaking ability. He can function as part of a committee, contribute on passing downs, and create space when used creatively. His best role is as a rotational back with third-down utility. Best Team Fits: Tampa Bay and Atlanta both fit if they want a versatile back who can contribute as a runner and receiver. Coleman makes sense for teams that use committee backfields and value space-play ability. 12. Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 69 Sarratt is a tough, reliable receiver who wins through physicality, route toughness, and strong hands. He is comfortable working the middle of the field and has the competitive profile to win through contact. He projects as a possession receiver with chain-moving value. Best Team Fits: Cleveland and Tennessee both need receiver depth and value physical wideouts who can win in traffic. Sarratt fits as a reliable intermediate target with inside-out versatility. 13. Dani Dennis-Sutton, ED, Penn State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 70 Dennis-Sutton is a long, athletic edge defender with developmental starter traits. He has the frame, movement skills, and power potential to grow into a more complete rusher. Early in his career, he projects as a rotational edge with upside if the pass-rush plan develops. Best Team Fits: The Giants and Panthers both need edge depth and have the defensive infrastructure to develop a long, toolsy pass rusher. Dennis-Sutton gives either team a traits-based rotational option. 14. Connor Lew, IOL, Auburn Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 71 Lew is a smart, technically sound interior offensive lineman with center/guard flexibility. He fits best in zone-heavy run schemes where his processing, angles, and leverage can stand out. His versatility gives him valuable depth appeal. Best Team Fits: Denver and Seattle both make sense because of their zone-heavy run-game principles and need for interior offensive line depth. Lew fits as a developmental swing interior lineman. 15. LT Overton, ED, Alabama Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 72 Overton is one of the more intriguing edge defenders still available. He has length, athletic ability, and developmental upside as a pass rusher. The tools are there, but he will need refinement with rush sequencing, counters, and consistency setting the edge. Best Team Fits: The Giants and Raiders both fit as teams that need edge depth and can afford to develop a raw but talented pass rusher. Overton’s upside makes him a strong value if he reaches this range. 16. Genesis Smith, S, Arizona Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 78 Smith is a rangy, versatile safety with the athletic profile to play multiple roles in the secondary. He brings reliable tackling, good instincts, and enough ball skills to make plays from depth or in split-safety looks. Best Team Fits: Indianapolis and Atlanta both need safety depth and value defensive backs with range and alignment flexibility. Smith fits as a developmental safety with sub-package upside. 17. Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 80 Rivers is a competitive corner with coverage instincts, quick feet, and enough short-area twitch to handle slot or outside reps. He projects best in a defense that lets him play with vision, route recognition, and leverage rather than asking him to survive every snap in isolated press-man looks. Best Team Fits: Tennessee and New Orleans both need secondary depth and value defensive backs who can contribute in multiple alignments. Rivers fits as a developmental corner with sub-package value. 18. Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 85 Nussmeier is a developmental quarterback with quick feet, a compact release, and enough arm strength to access the full field. He is most comfortable operating from shotgun, where he can play with rhythm and attack intermediate windows. His best path is as a developmental QB with starting upside if the decision-making continues to mature. Best Team Fits: Cleveland, Arizona, Indianapolis, Atlanta, and the Rams all make sense as teams that could invest in a developmental quarterback. Nussmeier fits best in an offense that can let him sit, develop, and grow into a timing-based passing structure. 19. Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 87 Lance is a productive receiver from a strong FCS program with the athletic traits to earn an NFL opportunity. He brings size, competitiveness, and enough route ability to develop into a useful depth receiver. Best Team Fits: New England and Minnesota both make sense as teams that need receiver depth and value productive players who can contribute in multiple phases. Lance fits as a developmental wideout with special teams value. 20. Jalen Farmer, IOL, Kentucky Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 88 Farmer is a versatile interior offensive lineman with guard/center flexibility. He is technically sound, balanced, and capable of fitting multiple run schemes. His ability to cover more than one interior spot increases his roster value. Best Team Fits: Miami and Houston both need interior offensive line depth and value versatile blockers. Farmer fits as a developmental interior piece who can provide depth at guard or center. 21. Taurean York, LB, Texas A&M Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 89 York is a physical, downhill linebacker with strong run-game instincts and tackling reliability. His immediate value comes on early downs and special teams, where his toughness and play strength translate. Best Team Fits: New England and Pittsburgh both value physical, run-stopping linebackers who can contribute on special teams. York fits as a depth linebacker with early kicking-game value. 22. Kamari Ramsey, S, USC Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 91 Ramsey is a young, athletic safety with developmental upside. He has the movement skills and instincts to play multiple roles in the secondary, but he still needs refinement before becoming a full-time defensive contributor. Best Team Fits: The Rams and 49ers both run complex secondary structures and value versatile defensive backs. Ramsey fits as a developmental safety with the athletic tools to grow into a larger role. 23. Rayshaun Benny, IDL, Michigan Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 96 Benny is a developmental interior defender with intriguing power and athletic tools. He is still raw technically, but the frame, movement profile, and competitive traits give him a chance to compete for a rotational role if he lands with the right defensive line coach. Best Team Fits: Green Bay and Kansas City both make sense as teams that value defensive line depth and front versatility. Benny fits as a late-round developmental interior defender. 24. Darrell Jackson Jr., IDL, Florida State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 98 Jackson is a stout, powerful interior defender with the strength to hold the point of attack. He projects as a rotational run defender who can contribute early by eating space, anchoring against double teams, and adding depth to the defensive front. Best Team Fits: Baltimore and Philadelphia both value interior defensive line depth and run-stopping ability. Jackson fits as an early-down rotational tackle in a physical defensive front. 25. Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 100 Burks is one of the most talented receivers still available. He brings speed, separation ability, and playmaking upside, giving teams a dynamic option who can create space and stress coverage. If he reaches this range, the value becomes hard to ignore. Best Team Fits: New Orleans and Tennessee both need receiver help and could use a dynamic playmaker. Burks fits as a vertical and underneath separator who can add immediate juice to an offense. Day 1, Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana Grade: A This is a clean alignment of need, value, and fit. The Raiders needed a quarterback, and Mendoza is the top passer in this class with the accuracy, poise, and processing to step into Klint Kubiak’s structure-based offense early. He gives Las Vegas a legitimate Year 1 starter option and the kind of franchise signal-caller worth building around. The remaining priority is clear: keep investing in the offensive line to protect the pick. 2). New York Jets: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech Grade: A This is a clean need-value alignment for the Jets. Edge rusher was one of the most immediate priorities on the roster, and Bailey steps in as a Day 1 impact defender with proven production and elite athletic validation. His profile fits Aaron Glenn’s scheme perfectly, where winning 1-on-1 as a pass rusher is critical in a man-heavy structure. Bailey offers a high floor as a three-down edge with the ability to generate pressure, set the edge, and handle a full workload. The remaining question is long-term at quarterback, but this is a disciplined, high-value selection that strengthens the foundation of the defense. 3). Arizona Cardinals: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame Grade: B This is a classic best player available selection with some roster-building tension. Love is one of the top overall talents in the class, offering elite speed, three-down versatility, and explosive playmaking that can elevate any offense immediately. However, Arizona’s roster construction makes this a luxury pick. Quarterback, offensive line, and edge remain higher-priority needs, and those positions carry significantly more value at No. 3 overall. Love gives the offense a dynamic centerpiece and a reliable outlet for whoever lines up at quarterback, but the long-term success of this pick will depend on how quickly Arizona addresses its more critical roster holes. 4). Tennessee Titans: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State Grade: B+ This is a strong offensive fit, but the value is more debatable at No. 4. Tate gives Tennessee a polished outside receiver for Cam Ward entering Year 2, and his route-running, timing, and separation skills fit Brian Daboll’s spread-based passing structure. He profiles as a true perimeter target, which matters because Wan’Dale Robinson gives the Titans slot flexibility but does not solve the WR1 need. The concern is board value. Tate is a clean first-round prospect and strong scheme fit, but taking him this early over higher-graded defensive talent or premium-position options keeps this from the A range. 5). New York Giants: Arvell Reese, EDGE/LB, Alabama Grade: A This is a best-player-available swing more than a clean need pick. Reese gives the Giants a rare front-seven chess piece with 4.46 speed at 241 pounds, plus the versatility to rush off the edge, play off-ball, and create pressure from multiple alignments. The fit works from a talent and schematic standpoint because Dennard Wilson can use him creatively in an aggressive pressure front. The only issue is roster overlap. With Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Kayvon Thibodeaux already in place, this does not address the Giants’ more pressing needs at interior defensive line, cornerback, or interior offensive line. A high-end talent pick, but not the cleanest roster fit. 6). Kansas City Chiefs (via CLE): Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU Grade: A This is a clean need, value, and scheme fit for Kansas City. Delane is the top corner in the class and gives Steve Spagnuolo a press-man defender who can step in immediately after the Chiefs’ secondary turnover at cornerback. His fluidity, mirror ability, ball skills, and run support profile match exactly what Kansas City asks from its outside corners. With Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, and Joshua Williams no longer in the room, this is not just a value pick. It is a direct answer to one of the roster’s biggest needs with a top-10-caliber prospect. 7). Washington Commanders: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State Grade: A- This is more of a best-player-available selection than a pure needs-based pick, but the defensive fit is strong. Styles gives Washington a high-end second-level playmaker with rare athleticism, coverage range, blitz value, and the versatility to function as a foundational piece in Dan Quinn’s defense. Linebacker was not the loudest need compared to wide receiver, edge, or offensive line, but Washington’s defense needed impact talent after finishing near the bottom of the league in 2025. The Adam Peters 49ers connection also matters here, because Styles’ Fred Warner-type profile gives this front office a familiar blueprint to build around. Strong value, strong fit, slightly less clean from a need standpoint. 8). New Orleans Saints: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State Grade: A- This is a strong need and value match for New Orleans. Tyson gives the Saints a legitimate WR2 opposite Chris Olave with the route polish, alignment flexibility, and three-level separation ability to help stabilize the passing game around Tyler Shough. The roster need is clear after the Rashid Shaheed trade. The only factor keeping this just below a full A is the medical history. If New Orleans is comfortable with the durability outlook, this is a high-upside offensive addition with immediate starter traits. 9). Cleveland Browns (via KC): Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Grade: A This is a clean foundational pick for Cleveland. Fano addresses one of the Browns’ biggest roster problems after a 2025 season defined by offensive line instability and pressure issues. His athletic profile, movement skills, and positional flexibility fit Todd Monken’s offense, whether he stays at tackle or eventually kicks inside. The arm-length concern is the only real caveat, but the starter probability, scheme fit, and premium-position value make this a strong need-value alignment for a rebuilding roster. 10). New York Giants (via CIN): Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami Grade: A- This is a strong need-based selection with long-term upside. Mauigoa gives the Giants immediate help along the interior offensive line, where the roster still needs reinforcement despite having stability at tackle. His power, anchor, and run-blocking profile fit the physical identity New York is building, and he offers positional flexibility with the ability to start inside early and potentially move back outside. While this may not carry the “gold jacket” ceiling referenced by the front office at No. 5, the value at No. 10 aligns much better, making this a high-floor, starting-caliber addition that directly supports the offense. 11). Dallas Cowboys (via MIA): Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Grade: A+ This is a premium talent, clean need, and elite scheme fit all aligning for Dallas. Downs gives the Cowboys the interchangeable safety centerpiece Christian Parker needs in a Fangio-tree defense, with the range, processing, tackling, and coverage versatility to impact every level of the secondary. Dallas needed a foundational defensive piece after a 2025 season where the unit struggled badly, and Downs carries both a high floor and legitimate Pro Bowl upside. Trading up one spot to secure a top-10 caliber player at No. 11 is strong board management, making this one of the best picks of the round. 12). Miami Dolphins (via DAL): Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama Grade: B+ This is a philosophy-driven pick that leans toward long-term roster building over immediate need. Proctor brings elite size, movement skills, and upside at a premium position, aligning with Miami’s shift toward building from the inside out. He offers immediate starter potential with flexibility to play tackle or guard, which has value for a roster in transition. The concern is value relative to the board and positional urgency. Wide receiver and edge rusher were more pressing needs after significant offseason losses, and Proctor projects slightly below this range. Still, the upside and positional value make this a defensible investment. 13). Los Angeles Rams (via ATL): Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama Grade: B+ This is a forward-looking pick that prioritizes long-term stability at quarterback over immediate roster needs. Simpson fits cleanly into Sean McVay’s offense as a timing-based, play-action passer with strong processing and technical polish, making him a logical successor to Matthew Stafford. The value is where the grade settles. Simpson is more commonly viewed as a late first to early second-round talent, so taking him at No. 13 is a slight reach. The Rams also have more urgent win-now needs at wide receiver and offensive tackle. Still, the developmental runway behind Stafford and the schematic alignment make this a defensible investment. 14). Baltimore Ravens: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State Grade: A- This is a clean need, value, and scheme-fit selection for Baltimore. Ioane gives the Ravens an immediate starter at right guard after losing Daniel Faalele, and his zone-blocking profile fits Declan Doyle’s run-heavy, play-action structure. His ability to move laterally, climb to the second level, and execute combination blocks makes him a strong match for a Lamar Jackson offense that needs movement skills up front. The value is also strong with Ioane carrying top-15 caliber grades. The only reason this is not a full A is the lingering center need after losing Tyler Linderbaum, but as a Day 1 interior starter, this is a strong Ravens-style pick. 15). Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami Grade: A- This is a strong need and value match for Tampa Bay. Bain gives Todd Bowles the power-based edge presence this defense lacked in 2025, especially after the pass rush struggled to generate pressure without heavy blitz volume. His leverage, hand usage, run strength, and elite production profile fit exactly what the Buccaneers need from an every-down edge defender. The value is excellent at No. 15 with Bain carrying top-10 talent on several boards. The only reasons this stops short of a clean A are the arm-length concerns and off-field background that teams had to evaluate, but the player fit and defensive need are clear. 16). New York Jets: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Grade: B+ This is a premium talent selection, but the roster logic and positional value are difficult to fully justify. Sadiq is the top tight end in the class with rare movement ability, explosive seam-stretching traits, and legitimate mismatch value for the Jets’ passing game. He gives New York another high-end receiving option alongside Garrett Wilson and Mason Taylor, but tight end was not a top need compared to quarterback, edge, cornerback, or wide receiver. The player is worthy of Round 1, but the opportunity cost keeps the grade down, especially with more urgent needs still unresolved. 17). Detroit Lions: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson Grade: A- This is a clean, need-based pick for Detroit with immediate impact. The Lions entered the draft needing offensive line help after multiple departures, and Miller provides a plug-and-play solution at right tackle with extensive starting experience and strong technical fundamentals. His ability to anchor in pass protection and generate movement in the run game fits well within a multiple scheme that blends gap and zone concepts. While he may not carry elite long-term upside compared to some higher-ceiling options, the floor is high, and the fit is clear for a team looking to stabilize the line right away. 18). Minnesota Vikings: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida Grade: B This is a high-upside, need-driven selection with some medical risk attached. Banks gives Minnesota a true interior disruptor, which was the team’s top priority after offseason losses along the defensive line. His size, length, and ability to collapse the pocket fit cleanly in Brian Flores’ attacking front, where interior pressure is critical to the scheme. The concern is durability. Multiple foot injuries and a limited 2025 sample introduce risk at this range, and the value is slightly above his consensus board projection. If healthy, this is a potential difference-maker on the interior. 19). Carolina Panthers: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia Grade: B+ This is a strong roster-building pick centered on protecting Bryce Young. Offensive line was Carolina’s top need, and Freeling gives the Panthers a first-round tackle with size, movement skills, and developmental upside. He fits as either a long-term tackle option or immediate insurance while Ikem Ekwonu works back from injury, which gives Carolina needed flexibility up front. The only reason this stays out of the A range is that wide receiver and tight end were also legitimate needs, and the Panthers still need more difference-making talent around Young. 20). Philadelphia Eagles (via DAL): Makai Lemon, WR USC Grade: A- This is more of a best-player-available pick than a pure need selection, but the value is strong. Lemon gives Philadelphia a polished, productive receiver with inside-outside flexibility, toughness after the catch, and Day 1 readiness as a separator. Wide receiver is not the Eagles’ top need compared to edge, offensive line, or safety, but the A.J. Brown uncertainty and long-term depth behind DeVonta Smith make this a logical investment. If Lemon falls into this range, Philadelphia is getting a top-half-of-Round-1 caliber talent at a discount. 21). Pittsburgh Steelers: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State Grade: B+ This is an upside-based offensive line investment with some short-term risk. Iheanachor gives Pittsburgh rare size, length, and athletic traits at tackle, which matters with Broderick Jones recovering from injury and Isaac Seumalo gone in free agency. The concern is readiness. His profile leans more developmental than plug-and-play, and the Steelers needed a more immediate stabilizer up front. The tools justify the pick in this range, but the lower production profile and longer runway keep it in the B range. 22). Los Angeles Chargers: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami Grade: B+ This is a strong need-value fit for the Chargers. Mesidor gives Los Angeles a productive, power-based edge rusher who can set the edge, win with effort and hand usage, and provide a long-term complement to Tuli Tuipulotu. The value lines up cleanly in this range, and the need is clear with Khalil Mack aging and Odafe Oweh gone. The only factors keeping this out of the A range are age and durability, especially with the prior foot injuries. Still, if the medicals check out, this is a high-floor pass-rush addition for a defense that needed another edge presence. 23). Dallas Cowboys (via PHI): Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, UCF Grade: A- This is a strong need and upside alignment for Dallas. Lawrence gives the Cowboys an explosive edge rusher with elite athletic traits, which is exactly what this defense needs after struggling to generate consistent pressure. His burst, length, and pass-rush tools fit well in an aggressive front, and pairing him with Rashan Gary adds much-needed depth and long-term stability on the edge. The value matches the range, but the grade stops short of a full A due to his developmental profile and inconsistency against the run. Still, this is a high-ceiling addition for a defense in need of impact talent. 24). Cleveland Browns (via JAX): KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M Grade: A- This is a strong need-based addition that completes Cleveland’s Round 1 approach. After addressing the offensive line earlier, the Browns now add a dynamic receiver to a unit that lacked a true go-to option. Concepcion brings separation ability, toughness over the middle, and versatility to line up inside or outside, making him an immediate contributor in a reworked offense. His profile fits well in a timing-based passing system and gives the Browns a reliable target for whoever lines up at quarterback. The value aligns in this range, and the only reason this is not a full A is the absence of elite size or top-tier athletic traits compared to other receivers in the class. 25). Chicago Bears: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon Grade: A This is one of the cleaner need-value fits in the back half of Round 1. Chicago had a major safety void after losing Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker, and Thieneman gives Dennis Allen a rangy, athletic defensive back with the speed to play single-high, rotate into two-high looks, and handle coverage responsibility in a man-heavy structure. His top-20 board value and elite athletic profile make the pick strong at No. 25. The Bears needed a long-term stabilizer in the secondary, and Thieneman fits both the roster need and defensive structure. 26). Houston Texans (via BUF): Keylan Rutledge, IOL, Georgia Tech Grade: B This is a strong need fit, but the value is a little rich in Round 1. Rutledge gives Houston a plug-and-play guard with size, toughness, movement skills, and the power profile to help stabilize the interior offensive line in front of C.J. Stroud. His athleticism and pull-game ability fit a Texans offense that needs cleaner pockets and more consistency in the run game. The concern is draft slot. Rutledge profiles more like a Day 2 value than a clear first-rounder, so this is a need-driven pick with immediate starter upside but some opportunity-cost risk. 27). Miami Dolphins (via SF): Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State Grade: A- This is a strong scheme and need alignment for Miami. Johnson gives Jeff Hafley a long, athletic outside corner with the size, speed, and versatility to function in a press-zone, single-high structure. His ability to transition between man and zone concepts, combined with physical run support, fits exactly what this defense is being rebuilt around. Cornerback was a clear need after offseason losses, and Johnson projects as an immediate contributor with upside to develop into a long-term starter. The value is solid in this range, making this a clean defensive fit with minimal projection risk. 28). New England Patriots (via BUF/HOU): Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah Grade: A- This is a smart need-value fit for New England. Lomu gives the Patriots a long, athletic tackle with the pass-protection awareness and technical profile to support Drake Maye in Josh McDaniels’ pro-style passing game. His ability to eventually pair with Will Campbell gives New England flexibility at both tackle spots once Morgan Moses is no longer part of the long-term plan. He still needs added play strength and refinement in the run game, but the starter upside, premium-position value, and roster fit make this a strong forward-looking pick. 29). Kansas City Chiefs (via LAR): Peter Woods, IDL, Clemson Grade: B This is a solid need fit, but the value is a little aggressive in Round 1. Woods gives Kansas City a productive interior defender who can rotate early, push the pocket, and help preserve Chris Jones while developing into a larger role. The need is real with limited proven depth behind Jones, and Woods’ production profile fits what the Chiefs need inside. The issue is draft slot. He profiles closer to an early Day 2 value than a clear first-rounder, so this is a useful roster pick, but not the strongest board-value selection at No. 29. 30). New York Jets (via SF/DEN): Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana Grade: A- This is a strong need and scheme fit for New York. Cooper gives the Jets a physical, YAC-driven receiver who can win through contact, separate in the short-to-intermediate game, and work both inside and outside in Frank Reich’s timing-based passing structure. With Garrett Wilson coming off injury and no proven WR2 on the roster, Cooper immediately fills one of the offense’s biggest holes while giving Geno Smith a reliable second target. The value is also strong in this range, especially with Cooper carrying top-20 board value. The only reason this is not a full A is that quarterback and edge remain bigger long-term roster questions. 31). Tennessee Titans (via BUF/NE): Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn Grade: B+ This is a traits-based edge selection that aligns with Tennessee’s long-term defensive build. Faulk brings size, length, and versatility across the front, giving the Titans a physical edge presence who can set the edge and develop as a pass rusher. While he may not be the ideal explosive Wide-9 profile Robert Saleh typically prioritizes, the value at this stage of the round is strong for a player with first-round traits and upside. The pick is more developmental than immediate impact, but it adds a high-ceiling piece to a position of need. 32). Seattle Seahawks: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame Grade: B+ This is a clean need and scheme fit for Seattle. Price gives the Seahawks a patient, balanced runner with the vision, contact balance, receiving upside, and pass-protection ability to fit Ryan Grubb’s spread/RPO-based offense. Running back was a real need with Kenneth Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet recovering from injury, and Price offers immediate rotational value with feature-back upside. The value is reasonable at No. 32, especially with the fifth-year option attached. The only reasons this is not a full A are the fumble concerns and the possibility Seattle could have traded back and still landed him. Day 2, Rounds 2-3 of the 2026 NFL Draft Day 2, Round 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft 33). San Francisco 49ers (via NYJ): De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss Grade: B+ This is a traits-based value pick that aligns with San Francisco’s roster transition at wide receiver. Stribling brings size and vertical speed, giving Kyle Shanahan a different dimension in the passing game as a boundary target who can stretch defenses off play-action. The need is real after multiple departures at the position, and the 49ers added draft capital while still landing a high-upside prospect in this range. The concern is polish. His production profile and route consistency lag behind his athletic traits, making this more of a projection than a plug-and-play contributor. Still, in this system, the upside is worth the investment. 34). Arizona Cardinals: Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M Grade: B+ This is a strong need and scheme fit for Arizona early on Day 2. Bisontis gives the Cardinals a high-floor interior offensive lineman with the size, movement skills, and athletic profile to fit Mike LaFleur’s duo and power-based run game. He also aligns with Monti Ossenfort’s preference for building through the trenches, and Arizona had a real opening at right guard after losing Will Hernandez. The only reason this is not in the A range is positional priority, with edge and defensive line still sitting as bigger roster needs. Still, at No. 34, this is a clean value pick with Day 1 starter potential. 35). Buffalo Bills (via TEN): T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson Grade: B+ This is a strong Day 2 value pick that fits Buffalo’s defensive transition. Parker gives the Bills a power-based edge defender with the versatility to rush from a stand-up alignment, kick inside on passing downs, and fit Jim Leonhard’s new 3-4 structure. The need is clear after losing edge depth, and landing a player with late first-round traits at No. 35 is good board value. The only concern is consistency after his sack production dipped in 2025, but the scheme fit and rotational upside make this a smart need-based selection. 36). Houston Texans: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State Grade: B McDonald fills a real need on Houston’s interior defensive line after offseason turnover, bringing size, strength, and run-stopping reliability to the front. He projects best as a 1-technique who can anchor early downs and control gaps, which adds needed depth to the rotation. The concern is fit within DeMeco Ryans’ system, which prioritizes interior pass-rush disruption from the 3-technique spot. McDonald’s limited pass-rush upside and modest athletic profile cap his impact on third downs, making this more of a floor play than a difference-making addition. 37). New York Giants: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee Grade: A- Hood gives the Giants a clean scheme and need fit in the secondary. His press-man ability, physicality at the line, and fluidity in transition align well with Dennard Wilson’s aggressive coverage system, where corners are asked to disrupt timing and hold up in isolation. With cornerback a clear roster need, Hood projects as an immediate contributor with starting upside. The value also holds in this range, as he carries late first-round grades across multiple boards. The only slight concern is experience, but the traits, production, and fit make this a strong addition to a defense already trending upward. 38). Las Vegas Raiders (via HOU/WSH): Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona Grade: B+ Stukes gives Las Vegas a versatile defensive back with the range, speed, and coverage flexibility to fit its new defensive structure. His ability to align at safety, slot, or even outside corner gives Rob Leonard and Joe Woods a movable secondary piece with immediate sub-package value. The 4.33 speed and strong ball production add legitimate playmaking upside, while the veteran additions around him should allow the Raiders to develop him in a defined safety role. The only concern is ceiling, with his production profile not quite matching the athletic traits, but this is a smart Day 2 fit that addresses the secondary with a starting-caliber player. 39). Cleveland Browns: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Grade: A- Boston gives Cleveland a true boundary receiver with size, catch radius, and contested-catch ability — a direct complement to KC Concepcion’s skill set. After adding a separator in Round 1, the Browns now add a physical outside target who can win in tight coverage and provide a red-zone presence. The value is strong at this point in the draft, with Boston carrying late first-round grades on several boards. The only reason this is not a full A is timeline, as he projects closer to a Year 2 impact player rather than an immediate high-volume contributor. 40). Kansas City Chiefs: R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma Grade: B Thomas gives Kansas City a high-motor edge defender with instincts, physicality, and enough pass-rush variety to contribute early in the rotation. The need is real after the Chiefs added cornerback in Round 1 and still needed more help opposite George Karlaftis. His effort, toughness, and ability to win with multiple rush moves fit Kansas City’s defensive mentality, even if he is not the classic Steve Spagnuolo size profile on the edge. The value is solid in Round 2, but the modest athletic profile and lack of ideal length keep this closer to a good pick than a home run. 41). Cincinnati Bengals: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M Grade: B+ Howell gives Cincinnati another explosive pass-rush option for Al Golden’s man-heavy, pressure-driven defense. His twitch, effort, and ability to win with speed, power, or counters make him a useful rotational rusher early with starter upside if the frame concerns hold up. The Bengals already added Boye Mafe, but edge depth remained a real need, and Howell’s value at No. 41 is strong relative to his top-30 board range. The short arms and modest starter probability keep the grade out of the A range, but this is a smart Day 2 value pick at a premium position. 42). New Orleans Saints: Christen Miller, DT, Georgia Grade: B Miller gives New Orleans needed interior defensive line depth with the size, quickness, and positional versatility to fit Brandon Staley’s 3-4 front. He can align across the defensive line and offers enough first-step quickness to develop into a disruptive rotational piece next to Bryan Bresee. The value is fair in this range, but the impact may not be immediate. Cornerback and edge were more urgent needs, and Miller still needs technical development before becoming a reliable starter. 43). Miami Dolphins: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech Grade: C+ Rodriguez is a productive, instinctive linebacker with strong short-area athleticism and playmaking traits, but the fit in Miami is not clean. The Dolphins are building around Jordyn Brooks at linebacker, making this more of a depth or rotational addition than a true need-based pick. Hafley’s defensive structure prioritizes edge pressure and secondary play, areas that still carry more urgency. The value is reasonable in Round 2, but the positional overlap and roster priorities limit the overall impact of the selection. 44). Detroit Lions (via NYJ/DAL): Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan Grade: B+ Moore gives Detroit a productive Power 5 edge defender with the frame and toughness to work into the rotation opposite Aidan Hutchinson. His production profile is solid, and Brad Holmes has shown a willingness to trust tape, physicality, and football character over pure testing numbers. The concern is immediate impact. Detroit needed a more explosive edge presence after losing pass-rush production, and Moore’s modest athletic profile and lower starter probability make him more developmental than plug-and-play. The fit is reasonable, but the upside and urgency do not fully align with where the Lions are as a contender. 45). Baltimore Ravens: Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri Grade: B Young gives Baltimore a pro-ready rotational edge with size, power, and enough inside-outside versatility to fit Jesse Minter’s defensive front. His run defense, heavy hands, and sub-package value make him useful behind Trey Hendrickson while addressing a real pass-rush depth need. The concern is ceiling. Young’s athletic profile is modest, and he projects more as a steady rotational defender than a long-term impact starter. Solid Day 2 fit, but not a high-upside swing. 46). Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri Grade: B- Trotter gives Tampa Bay an instinctive downhill linebacker with NFL bloodlines and the gap-shooting ability to fit Todd Bowles’ pressure-heavy defense. With Lavonte David retired and Alex Anzalone more of a short-term answer, linebacker depth was a real need. The concern is overall impact. Trotter’s athletic profile and starter projection are modest, and Tampa Bay still had bigger needs at edge and corner. He is a sensible developmental fit, but not a major needle-mover for the defense. 47). Pittsburgh Steelers (via IND): Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama Grade: B+ Bernard gives Pittsburgh a reliable slot-capable receiver who fits Mike McCarthy’s shift toward an 11-personnel, pass-first structure. He complements DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. as the underneath separator and chain-moving target, with the toughness and blocking value to stay on the field in multiple situations. The value is solid in this range, and wide receiver was a legitimate need for the new offensive identity. The only concern is positional priority, with interior offensive line, safety, and tackle also carrying major weight for the roster. 48). Atlanta Falcons: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson Grade: B+ Terrell fills a clear secondary need for Atlanta as a competitive nickel option with inside-outside flexibility and strong ball production. His instincts, toughness, and forced-fumble production give the Falcons a playmaking defensive back who can contribute early in sub-packages. The fit is also clean with A.J. Terrell already established on the outside, giving Atlanta a natural coverage pairing. The athletic profile and size are the main concerns, but the value and need both line up well at No. 49). Carolina Panthers (via MIN): Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech Grade: B+ Hunter gives Carolina a powerful interior run defender who can play next to Derrick Brown and help stabilize the front. His production profile, mass, leverage, and gap control make him a strong fit for a defense that needed more interior toughness after struggling to generate consistent pressure. The pass-rush ceiling is more limited, and the athletic profile is not high-end, but his floor as an early-down disruptor is strong. For a Panthers defense adding pieces around Brown, Jaelan Phillips, and Devin Lloyd, this is a sensible Day 2 trench investment. 50). New York Jets (via DET): D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana Grade: B+ Ponds gives the Jets a highly productive, instinctive nickel defender with elite short-area explosiveness and ball skills. His fit in Aaron Glenn’s defense is clean, especially with the need for playmaking in the secondary after a turnover-deficient 2025 season. He projects as a slot corner who can trigger quickly, disrupt underneath routes, and generate takeaways. The value is strong in this range given his production profile. The only limitation is size, which caps his outside versatility and long-term ceiling, but as a sub-package weapon, this is a strong Day 2 addition. 51). Minnesota Vikings (via CAR): Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati Grade: C+ Golday brings size, production, and testing numbers that make him a legitimate Day 2 linebacker prospect, but the fit in Brian Flores’ defense is not seamless. Minnesota asks its linebackers to process quickly, disguise coverage, and hold up in space, and Golday is still developing in those areas. His tackling production and athletic profile give him a path to becoming a contributor, but the scheme asks for more coverage versatility than he has consistently shown. The talent is solid, but the role projection keeps this grade in the C+ range. 52). Green Bay Packers: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina Grade: B Cisse gives Green Bay a fast, fluid outside corner with the vision and closing speed to fit Jonathan Gannon’s zone-heavy coverage structure. His ability to play with eyes on the quarterback translates well in Cover 2 and match-zone concepts, and cornerback was a real need for a defense needing more depth. The value is solid in this range, with Cisse carrying Day 2 grades across major boards. The concern is physicality, both in press coverage and run support, which keeps this as a solid pick rather than a high-end one. 53). Indianapolis Colts (via PIT): CJ Allen, LB, Georgia Grade: A- Allen gives Indianapolis a Day 1 starter at one of its clearest roster holes. His instincts, tackling consistency, zone awareness, and communication skills fit Lou Anarumo’s multiple 4-3 defense, where linebackers have to process quickly and handle changing coverage looks. After losing Zaire Franklin and Germaine Pratt, the Colts needed a plug-and-play second-level defender, and Allen brings that profile. The only limitation is some tightness in man coverage, but the need, value, and leadership fit make this one of the cleaner Day 2 picks. 54). Philadelphia Eagles: Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt Grade: B+ Stowers gives Philadelphia a high-upside tight end with the athletic profile to threaten the seam and create mismatches off play-action. His movement skills fit Sean Mannion’s Shanahan/McVay-influenced structure, where tight ends need to block enough to stay attached while adding value in the intermediate passing game. With Dallas Goedert on a short-term deal, this is a smart future-facing pick. The only concern is whether Stowers has enough functional strength to become a complete inline player, but the value and long-term fit are strong. 55). New England Patriots (via LAC): Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois Grade: B+ Jacas gives New England a high-upside edge rusher who fits Mike Vrabel’s multiple-front defensive structure. His size, heavy hands, and first-step burst give the Patriots a power-based complement to Harold Landry, while his motor and leadership fit the defensive identity Vrabel is building. Edge was a critical need, and the value is strong in this range for a Day 2 prospect with double-digit sack upside. The only concern is timeline, as Jacas profiles more as a rotational rusher early than a plug-and-play starter, but New England has the depth to develop him properly. 56). Jacksonville Jaguars: Nate Boerkircher, TE, Texas A&M Grade: B Boerkircher gives Jacksonville a developmental tight end with the blocking profile to fit Liam Coen’s West Coast, play-action structure. His ability to contribute as a Y-tight end gives the Jaguars useful depth behind Quintin Morris while adding a potential long-term piece at the position. The scheme fit is stronger than the pure value, as Boerkircher profiles more like a Day 3 prospect than a second-round target. Tight end was not a major need compared to defensive tackle, linebacker, or running back, but the role fit and developmental upside make this a reasonable depth investment. 57). Chicago Bears: Logan Jones, C, Iowa Grade: A- Jones gives Chicago a clean scheme fit for Ben Johnson’s zone-based, RPO-heavy offense. His athleticism, lateral movement, and ability to climb to the second level make him a strong long-term center option in front of Caleb Williams. The need is real after Drew Dalman’s retirement, with Garrett Bradbury more of a short-term answer. The only concerns are size and strength, as Jones will need to add functional mass to handle NFL nose tackles, but the value, fit, and developmental upside make this one of the stronger Day 2 picks. 58). Cleveland Browns (via SF): Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo Grade: B McNeil-Warren gives Cleveland a high-floor, production-driven safety with versatility to play in the box or rotate deep. His instincts, physicality, and 80%+ starter probability point to a reliable long-term contributor. While safety is not a primary need compared to OL, EDGE, or CB, the value at this spot is strong for a player with a late first to early second-round projection. The only concern is average top-end athleticism, which limits his true ceiling, but the floor and versatility make this a solid depth-plus-value addition. 59). Houston Texans: Marlin Klein, TE, Michigan Grade: C+ Klein gives Houston a developmental, in-line tight end with size and blocking upside, but the fit and value are modest. His profile leans more toward a traditional Y-tight end, while the Texans’ offense is built around spacing, tempo, and pass-catching versatility at the position. Tight end was not a priority need, and Klein’s production profile suggests a longer developmental runway. He can contribute in 12 personnel and as a red zone option, but this is more of a depth addition than an impact pick. 60). Tennessee Titans (via CHI/BUF): Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Grade: B+ Hill gives Tennessee a fast, versatile linebacker with the coverage ability and blitz value to fit Robert Saleh’s defensive rebuild. His production, athletic profile, and green-dot experience give him a clear path to early snaps as a sideline-to-sideline defender. The value is strong at pick 60 for a prospect with top-40 board consideration and starter upside. The only limitation is physicality at the point of attack, but in Saleh’s system, Hill’s range and movement skills are exactly what the Titans need at the second level. 61). Los Angeles Rams: Max Klare, TE, Ohio State Grade: C+ Klare gives the Rams a natural receiving tight end with route-running polish, reliable hands, and enough after-catch ability to fit Sean McVay’s passing game. The issue is roster fit and role value. Los Angeles already has Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson, and Klare’s blocking limitations make him a tougher fit in a 13-personnel structure that asks tight ends to hold up in the run game. He can add receiving depth and matchup value, but this does not address a major need, making it more of a developmental luxury pick. 62). Buffalo Bills (via DEN): Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State Grade: C Igbinosun gives Buffalo size, length, and outside corner experience, but the fit is shaky for Jim Leonhard’s man-coverage structure. The Bills needed cornerback depth after moving Taron Johnson, and Igbinosun has the frame and durability teams want on the perimeter. The concern is movement skill. His stiff hips, limited short-area quickness, penalty history, and modest ball production make him a risky Day 2 investment in a scheme that asks corners to stay in phase. This feels more like a developmental CB3 or CB4 than a clean starter-level addition. 63). Los Angeles Chargers (via NE): Jake Slaughter, C, Florida Grade: B+ Slaughter gives the Chargers a high-floor interior lineman with elite production and strong positional intelligence. His experience, durability, and Rimington-level résumé translate well to a depth role with starting upside. He fits as a backup center with the flexibility to compete at guard, which addresses a real need for an offensive line coming off injuries. The limitation is ceiling, as he projects more as a reliable contributor than a high-end starter, but the value at this spot is strong. 64). Seattle Seahawks: Bud Clark, S, TCU Grade: B Clark gives Seattle a smart, instinctive safety with ball production, range, and the versatility to play deep or work from the slot. His 15 career interceptions fit Mike Macdonald’s defense, where safeties need to disguise, rotate, and make plays from two-high structures. The concern is need and frame. Safety was not one of Seattle’s most urgent roster holes, and Clark’s lean build may limit his box usage against bigger NFL personnel. Still, the instincts, leadership, and coverage versatility make him a solid Day 2 fit. Day 2, Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft 65). Arizona Cardinals: Carson Beck, QB, Miami Grade: C+ Arizona needed a quarterback after resetting the room, and Beck gives them an experienced pocket passer with strong college production. His size and rhythm-passing profile can function in Nathaniel Hackett’s structure, but the limited mobility and modest ceiling cap the fit. This is a reasonable value swing at pick 65, but Beck profiles more as a developmental bridge than a true franchise solution. 66). Denver Broncos (via TEN): Tyler Onyedim, DT, Texas A&M Grade: C+ Denver needed defensive line depth after losing John Franklin-Myers, and Onyedim fits the trench-first profile George Paton has consistently valued. The issue is immediate impact, as his modest NGS profile and low Year 1 starter probability make him more of a developmental rotational piece than a plug-and-play contributor. For a Super Bowl-contending roster, this feels a little rich at pick 66, especially with linebacker and tight end still carrying stronger need value. 67). Las Vegas Raiders: Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn Grade: C+ Las Vegas adds pass rush depth after moving on from Maxx Crosby, and Crawford brings a production-driven profile with size and length to develop. The fit in a 3-4 scheme is less clean, as he projects more as a traditional edge than a versatile stand-up linebacker. At pick 67 the value is reasonable, but with bigger needs across the roster, this feels like a developmental depth move rather than a foundational piece. 68). Philadelphia Eagles (via NYJ): Markel Bell, OT, Miami Grade: C Bell gives Philadelphia rare size and long-term swing tackle upside, which matters with Lane Johnson nearing the end of his career. The concern is fit and urgency, as his modest athletic profile does not cleanly match a zone-heavy offensive structure, and edge rusher remained the Eagles’ bigger need. This is a developmental size bet more than a clear Day 2 value pick. 69). Chicago Bears (via HOU): Sam Roush, TE, Stanford Grade: B- Roush gives Chicago a big, athletic tight end with a pro-ready blocking profile that fits Ben Johnson’s offense. His size and inline value can help the run game while giving Caleb Williams a developmental safety valve. The concern is value and priority, as tight end was not a top need and Roush’s limited receiving production makes this more of a scheme bet than a clear impact pick. 70). San Francisco 49ers (via CLE): Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech Grade: B Height gives San Francisco needed pass-rush depth after a 2025 season where the defense struggled to generate sacks and pressure. His balanced athletic and production profile makes him a reasonable developmental rusher who can contribute early on passing downs. The concern is size and role projection, as he looks more like a rotational speed rusher than a true three-down edge, but the need and value line up well in this range. 71). Washington Commanders: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson Grade: B+ Washington adds a much-needed slot weapon for Jayden Daniels, addressing a thin receiver room with a quick, YAC-oriented playmaker. Williams’ short-area burst and route quickness fit perfectly in a timing-based offense built on rhythm throws and spacing. The concern is limited college production and occasional drops, but the value and role projection make this a strong Day 2 fit. 72). Cincinnati Bengals: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington Grade: B+ Davis gives Cincinnati a long, athletic outside corner with the size and speed to match up in the AFC North. Cornerback was a real need with multiple contracts nearing expiration, and his press-coverage traits fit the Bengals’ defensive rebuild. The production profile is the concern, but at pick 72, this is a strong upside swing at a premium position. 73). New Orleans Saints: Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia Grade: B- Delp gives New Orleans a high-end athletic tight end with the size and speed to stretch the seam and help Tyler Shough in the red zone. The fit works as a developmental passing-game piece alongside Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, giving the Saints more formation flexibility. The concern is priority and production, as tight end was not a top need and Delp’s tools have not fully translated into consistent output. 74). New York Giants (via KC): Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame Grade: B Fields gives the Giants a big-bodied receiver with red zone value and contested-catch upside for Jaxson Dart. The need is real with Malik Nabers returning from injury and limited proven depth behind him. The concern is separation, as Fields’ 4.61 speed and modest starter projection make him more of a developmental boundary target than an immediate difference-maker. 75). Miami Dolphins: Caleb Douglas, WR, Texas Tech Grade: C+ Miami addresses a critical need at wide receiver with a big, vertical X target who brings rare size and speed to the offense. His profile fits a spread system that needs field-stretching ability, especially with a reset WR room. The issue is value, as Douglas projects later in the draft and this feels like an early swing on traits over production. 76). Pittsburgh Steelers (via DAL): Drew Allar, QB, Penn State Grade: C+ Pittsburgh needed a quarterback, and Allar brings the size, arm talent, and pocket-passing profile to fit Mike McCarthy’s pro-style offense. The concern is value, as Allar projects more like a fourth-round developmental quarterback than a top-80 pick. The need and team interest are clear, but the low starter probability and likely availability later make this feel like a reach. 77). Green Bay Packers (via TB): Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri Grade: B McClellan gives Green Bay needed interior defensive line depth with the size, length, and production profile to contribute as a rotational one-technique. His power-based game fits a slanting front, and the Packers needed long-term help with Devonte Wyatt returning from injury and Javon Hargrave serving as a short-term answer. The athletic ceiling is limited, but the need, role, and value make this a solid trench pick. 78). Indianapolis Colts: A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU Grade: A- Haulcy gives Indianapolis a high-floor safety with elite production, coverage versatility, and legitimate Day 1 starter traits. His ability to play deep, rotate down, or function as a big nickel fits well in the Colts’ Cover-2 structure next to Cam Bynum. Safety was a real need after losing Nick Cross, and Haulcy’s instincts, tackling profile, and green-dot experience make this one of the cleaner Day 2 values. 79). Atlanta Falcons: Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia Grade: B- Branch gives Atlanta a needed speed element and slot/gadget option with the burst to create easy touches for Michael Penix Jr. His 4.35 speed and quickness fit as a motion, screen, and vertical-stretch piece alongside Drake London. The concern is role ceiling, as his size limits him as a true WR2, and the off-field misdemeanor charges add another evaluation flag. 80). Baltimore Ravens: Ja’Kobi Lane, WR, USC Grade: B- Lane gives Baltimore a big, athletic developmental receiver with the size, catch radius, and vertical ability to complement Lamar Jackson’s play-action passing game. The Ravens needed another target behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, especially one who can win in the red zone and downfield. The concern is value and polish, as Lane’s production lagged behind his traits and he may need time before becoming a reliable contributor. 81). Jacksonville Jaguars (via DET): Albert Regis, DT, Texas A&M Grade: C+ Regis gives Jacksonville interior defensive line depth with enough quickness and athleticism to develop as a rotational gap penetrator. The Jaguars needed more bodies inside after offseason losses, and his athletic profile fits as a sub-package disruptor behind Arik Armstead and DaVon Hamilton. The concern is value, as Regis profiles more like a Day 3 pick than an early third-rounder, making this a slight reach for a depth piece. 82). Minnesota Vikings: Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State Grade: B- Orange brings size and above-average athleticism (76 ATH) to a Vikings front that needed interior reinforcements after key losses, projecting as a rotational run defender in Brian Flores’ pressure-heavy scheme. The fit is logical and the value aligns with his 3rd–4th round range, though the low production score (59) signals a developmental profile rather than an immediate impact starter. 83). Carolina Panthers: Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee Grade: B Brazzell gives Carolina a rare size-speed receiver with vertical and red zone upside for Bryce Young. His 6’4” frame and 4.37 speed fit as a developmental outside target alongside Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. The concern is polish, as his production trails the athletic profile, but at pick 83 this is a reasonable traits-based swing at a position of need. 84). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via GB): Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State Grade: B Hurst gives Tampa Bay a developmental size-speed receiver with vertical ability and the frame to fit Zac Robinson’s 12-personnel passing structure. His athletic profile and rising draft buzz make the value reasonable at pick 84, especially after the Buccaneers addressed edge earlier. The concern is need and timeline, as wide receiver was not a priority and Hurst projects more as a Year 2 or Year 3 contributor than an immediate offensive piece. 85). Pittsburgh Steelers: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia Grade: B Everette gives Pittsburgh a long, fast outside corner with developmental starter upside in Patrick Graham’s multiple defensive structure. His 6’1” frame and 4.38 speed fit the boundary profile, while the addition of Jamel Dean allows the Steelers to bring him along without forcing an immediate starting role. The concern is production, as his athletic tools are ahead of his on-ball impact, but the value is solid at pick 85. 86). Cleveland Browns (via LAC): Austin Barber, OT, Florida Grade: B Barber gives Cleveland another developmental offensive line piece with rare size and enough athleticism to project at tackle or guard. After taking Spencer Fano in Round 1, the Browns continue rebuilding a front that struggled badly in pass protection. The concern is consistency, as his production profile trails the traits, but the value and positional depth make this a solid Day 2 investment. 87). Miami Dolphins (via PHI): Will Kacmarek, TE, Ohio State Grade: C+ Kacmarek gives Miami a big in-line tight end with the frame to help as a blocker and develop into a secondary receiving option. The fit makes some sense as support for Malik Willis in a rebuilt offense, but tight end was not a primary need after major losses at wide receiver, corner, edge, and offensive line. The value is reasonable, but this is more of a depth/developmental pick than a meaningful roster upgrade. 88). Jacksonville Jaguars: Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon Grade: B+ Pregnon gives Jacksonville a powerful interior blocker with starter-level traits and the athletic profile to fit Liam Coen’s gap and West Coast run structure. He fills a real need up front, giving Trevor Lawrence better interior protection and the run game more physicality. The value is strong at pick 88, with Pregnon carrying Day 2 upside and a clear path to early snaps. 89). Chicago Bears: Zavion Thomas, WR, LSU Grade: C+ Thomas brings elite vertical speed (4.28) and explosive traits that fit Ben Johnson’s spacing-based offense as a gadget and field-stretching option. He fills a depth need at receiver and offers special teams value, but the production profile (53 PROD) and low starter probability make this a clear reach at pick 89. High-end athletic upside, but the value does not align with the draft slot. 90). San Francisco 49ers (via MIA): Kaelon Black, RB, Indiana Grade: C+ Black gives San Francisco a developmental back who would need to win with receiving value, special teams, and fit in Kyle Shanahan’s outside-zone run game. The issue is roster priority, with Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo, and other depth already in place while bigger needs remained at OL, EDGE, DL, and safety. This feels like a luxury pick and a slight reach for a back projected later on Day 3. 91). Las Vegas Raiders (via BUF): Trey Zuhn III, C, Texas A&M Grade: B- Zuhn gives Las Vegas a rare athletic interior lineman with developmental upside in Klint Kubiak’s movement-based run game. The Raiders needed offensive line help after allowing 64 sacks, and Zuhn’s flexibility to develop behind Tyler Linderbaum or compete at guard adds value. The concern is range and production, as he profiles closer to a fourth-rounder and his tape has not consistently matched the elite athletic traits. 92). Dallas Cowboys (via SF): Jaishawn Barham, EDGE, Michigan Grade: B+ Barham gives Dallas another developmental edge rusher as the defense continues to rebuild around pressure and athleticism. His frame and traits fit as a situational rusher behind Rashan Gary and Malachi Lawrence, but he needs added strength before handling a full-time role. The value is fair at pick 92, though the modest NGS profile and low starter probability keep this as a rotational upside pick rather than a major defensive upgrade. 93). Los Angeles Rams: Keagen Trost, OT, Missouri Grade: C Trost addresses a real need for the Rams after Rob Havenstein’s retirement, giving Sean McVay a technically sound tackle with strong production and developmental starter traits. His profile fits a play-action and outside-zone offense that values assignment soundness up front. The issue is value, as Trost projects much later than pick 93, making this a significant reach even with the roster need. 94). Miami Dolphins (via DEN): Chris Bell, WR, Louisville Grade: A- Bell gives Miami a potential WR1-caliber talent at a discount, pairing size, physicality, and YAC ability with a clear path to targets in a depleted receiver room. The fit is clean for a rebuilding offense around Malik Willis, and the value aligns with a Day 2 talent slipping due to injury. The only concern is the ACL recovery timeline, but the upside justifies the investment at this stage of the draft. 95). New England Patriots: Eli Raridon, TE, Notre Dame Grade: B Raridon gives New England a developmental tight end with the size and speed to become a seam and red zone option for Drake Maye. The need is real with Hunter Henry aging, and Raridon’s athletic profile gives him a path to grow into a larger role. The production is still catching up to the tools, but the value at pick 95 makes this a smart upside play. 96). Pittsburgh Steelers (via SEA): Gennings Dunker, G, Iowa Grade: B+ Dunker gives Pittsburgh a high-upside interior lineman with the athleticism and Iowa development background to compete for early snaps. The need is clear after losing Isaac Seumalo, and his movement skills fit a gap/zone hybrid run game. The production profile is the only concern, but the starter probability and value at pick 96 make this a strong Day 2 addition. 97). Minnesota Vikings: Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern Grade: B+ Tiernan gives Minnesota a high-floor offensive line prospect with the size, athleticism, and starting experience to compete at tackle or guard. The need is clear after offensive line turnover and pressure issues, and his movement skills give the Vikings flexibility up front. The short-arm profile may push him inside, but the value at pick 97 is strong for a prospect with Day 2 grades and real starter probability. 98). Minnesota Vikings (via PHI): Jakobe Thomas, S, Miami Grade: B Thomas adds depth at safety with the size and physicality to contribute on special teams early while developing into a rotational defender. Minnesota needed additional bodies at the position, but he projects more as a long-term depth piece than an immediate impact player. Slight reach in value, but a reasonable roster-based selection at this stage of the draft. 99). Seattle Seahawks (via PIT): Julian Neal, CB, Arkansas Grade: B Neal gives Seattle a long, athletic press corner with the size-speed profile to replace some of the outside presence lost with Riq Woolen. His frame and man-coverage upside fit the Seahawks’ defensive identity, and cornerback was a real need. The concern is consistency, as his production did not fully match the tools, but the value and developmental starter upside are solid at pick 99. 100). Jacksonville Jaguars (via DET): Jalen Huskey, S, Maryland Grade: C+ Huskey gives Jacksonville needed safety depth after losing Andrew Wingard, with the instincts and production profile to compete for sub-package and special teams work. The fit makes sense from a roster standpoint, especially with this being a compensatory selection. The concern is upside, as his athletic limitations and Day 3 projection make him more of a depth piece than a clear future starter. Day 3, Rounds 4-7 of the 2026 NFL Draft 101). Las Vegas Raiders (via TEN): Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Grade: A This is a high-end value swing on a Round 1-caliber corner who slid because of knee concerns. McCoy fits the Raiders’ zone-heavy, pressure-oriented defensive structure with the length, fluidity, and sideline disruption to compete early in Cover 3 and Cover 4 looks. The medical is the only caveat, but at this point in the draft, Las Vegas lands a potential starting outside corner at a major discount. 102). Buffalo Bills (via LV): Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College Grade: C+ This is a tools-based swing tackle pick, but the value is light at No. 102. Bowry has the athletic profile and pass-protection feet to develop, yet his inconsistent hand usage, anchor, and run-game impact make him more projection than plug-and-play option. Buffalo needs offensive line depth, but this feels early for a developmental tackle when the bigger roster need is inside at guard or center. 103). New York Jets: Darrell Jackson Jr., DT, Florida State Grade: B This is a clean need-and-value pick for a Jets front that still needed interior defensive line depth. Jackson brings the size, length, and odd-front projection to develop as a rotational run defender with starter upside if the technique catches up. The floor is more backup than immediate impact player, but at No. 103, the frame and developmental ceiling make sense. 104). Arizona Cardinals: Kaleb Proctor, DT, Southeastern Louisiana Grade: B- This is an upside-based defensive line swing built around rare athletic traits for a 291-pound interior defender. Proctor gives Arizona a developmental penetrator with the burst to factor into a rotational pass-rush role, which fits a front that still needs more interior juice. The concern is value and projection, as the small-school jump and low early-impact profile make this feel slightly early at No. 104. 105). Los Angeles Chargers (via NYG): Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State Grade: A- This is a clean value-and-fit pick for a Chargers offense that needed more vertical speed around Justin Herbert. Thompson’s 4.26 speed gives Los Angeles a field-stretching slot/Z option with immediate special teams value and manufactured-touch upside. The frame limits his projection as a full-volume receiver, but at No. 105, the explosiveness and role clarity make this a strong Day 3 add. 106). Houston Texans (via WSH): Febechi Nwaiwu, OG, Oklahoma Grade: A- This is a smart roster-building pick for a Texans offense that still needed interior offensive line help. Nwaiwu brings a balanced, production-first profile with enough size, technique, and early contribution upside to compete for guard snaps right away. At No. 106, Houston gets a legitimate need fit at the right value point while continuing to prioritize protection for C.J. Stroud. 107). San Francisco 49ers (via CLE): Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma Grade: B This is a solid scheme-fit pick for a 49ers front that needed more interior defensive line depth. Halton profiles as an undersized, gap-penetrating 3-technique with the first-step quickness and lateral agility to work in a movement-based one-gap front. The anchor and early-down run value are concerns, but at No. 107, San Francisco gets a rotational interior rusher with developmental upside. 108). Denver Broncos (via NO): Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington Grade: B+ This is a strong Day 3 value pick for a Broncos offense that can use more physicality and reliability in the backfield. Coleman gives Denver a compact, productive runner with the size and contact balance to handle short-yardage work while giving Bo Nix another dependable outlet. He is not a true explosive-play back, but at No. 108, the floor, production profile, and early rotational value make sense. 109). Kansas City Chiefs: Jadon Canady, CB, Oregon Grade: B+ This is a clean need-and-value pick for a Chiefs defense that had to restock the cornerback room. Canady profiles best as a slot or zone corner with the instincts, positioning, and route awareness to fit Steve Spagnuolo’s coverage structure. The athletic ceiling limits his outside projection, but at No. 109, Kansas City gets a smart developmental defensive back with a defined role. 110). New York Jets (via CIN): Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson Grade: A This is the right way to take a Day 3 quarterback swing without forcing the position. Klubnik gives the Jets a mobile, developmental passer with enough production and starter upside to sit behind Geno Smith while Frank Reich builds out the offense. The frame and durability need work, but at No. 110, New York gets legitimate long-term quarterback upside without touching its premium 2027 draft capital. 111). Denver Broncos (via MIA): Kage Casey, OT, Boise State Grade: C+ This is a fair-range pick, but the roster fit is harder to justify for a Denver team built to win now. Casey has developmental tackle size and enough baseline traits to compete for swing depth, but his athletic and production profile does not point to early impact. At No. 111, the Broncos would have been better served adding another weapon for Bo Nix or defensive line depth to replace lost front-seven snaps. 112). Dallas Cowboys: Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State Grade: C This is a need-adjacent pick, but the value does not line up cleanly at No. 112. Shelton has the size and athletic profile to develop as a swing tackle, yet the production and early-impact profile make him more of a late Day 3 project. Dallas had more urgent needs at edge, defensive line, and corner, and with multiple fourth-round picks, this feels like a player they could have waited on. 113). Indianapolis Colts: Jalen Farmer, OG, Kentucky Grade: B- This is a solid Day 3 interior offensive line add for a Colts roster that needed more competition up front. Farmer brings guard-only projection, but his length, movement skills, and run-blocking profile give Indianapolis a developmental piece with enough upside to compete for depth snaps early. He is not a plug-and-play starter, but at No. 113, the value and roster fit are reasonable. 114). Dallas Cowboys (via ATL): Devin Moore, CB, Florida Grade: C+ This addresses a real need for a Cowboys defense that had to add depth and length at corner. Moore fits best in a zone-heavy structure, where his size and route awareness can help him compete as a rotational outside corner or special teams piece. The issue is ceiling, as the injury history and average athletic profile make him more of a depth fix than a true answer for a secondary that needs impact talent. 115). Baltimore Ravens: Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana Grade: B This is a strong value pick for a Ravens offense that needed more reliability at wide receiver. Sarratt gives Baltimore a pro-ready route runner with dependable hands and the processing to settle into Lamar Jackson’s RPO and play-action structure. The ceiling may be more high-end WR3 than dynamic WR1, but pairing him with Ja’Kobi Lane gives the Ravens two different receiver profiles and a cleaner offensive depth chart. 116). Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Keionte Scott, CB/NB, Miami Grade: A- This is one of the better value picks of early Day 3 for a Buccaneers defense that needed more cornerback flexibility. Scott fits Todd Bowles’ system as an explosive nickel defender with the burst, blitz timing, and run-game urgency to create negative plays from the slot. The age and occasional missed tackles are the only real concerns, but at No. 116, Tampa Bay lands a high-impact sub-package defender with immediate role clarity. 117). Los Angeles Chargers (via MIN/JAX): Travis Burke, OT, Memphis Grade: B This is a sensible offensive line depth pick for a Chargers team that has clearly prioritized the trenches. Burke gives Los Angeles a developmental swing tackle with enough size and baseline tools to compete for a roster spot while providing insurance behind the starters. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 117, the value is fair and the roster-building logic is sound. 118). Detroit Lions: Jimmy Rolder, LB, Michigan Grade: B+ This is a clean value pick for a Lions defense that needed more linebacker depth behind Jack Campbell. Rolder brings the instincts, toughness, and special teams floor to contribute early while developing into a potential rotational starter. The Michigan connection adds local fit, but the real value is landing a high-floor Day 3 linebacker with starter traits at No. 118. 119). Jacksonville Jaguars (via CAR): Wesley Williams, EDGE, Duke Grade: B This is a solid need-based pick for a Jaguars defense that needed more edge depth behind Josh Hines-Allen. Williams gives Jacksonville a developmental pass rusher with enough athletic ability and motor to contribute on special teams while working toward a rotational defensive role. The value matches the range, and adding edge help after addressing defensive tackle and safety makes this a logical Day 3 roster-building move. 120). Green Bay Packers: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State Grade: B+ This is a strong Day 3 value pick for a Packers defense continuing to add athleticism up front. Dennis-Sutton gives Green Bay a high-motor rotational edge with the speed, urgency, and physical profile to contribute early in sub-package rush situations. He is still developing as a refined pass rusher, but at No. 120, the athletic traits and Day 2-caliber grade make this a quality value play. 121). Pittsburgh Steelers: Kaden Wetjen, WR, Iowa Grade: B- This is a solid depth pick for a Steelers offense that has rebuilt the receiver room around multiple body types and roles. Wetjen gives Pittsburgh a polished, reliable route runner with enough speed and football IQ to compete for special teams snaps and back-end receiver work. The room is crowded after adding Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard, so the path to targets is limited, but at No. 121, the value and developmental fit are reasonable. 122). Las Vegas Raiders (via ATL): Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas Grade: A- This is a strong value pick for a Raiders offense that needed a real complement behind Ashton Jeanty. Washington brings rare explosive traits for the position with home-run speed, lower-body burst, and enough size to handle rotational early-down work. The production never fully matched the athletic profile at Arkansas, but at No. 122, Las Vegas lands a high-upside RB2 with legitimate big-play juice. 123). Houston Texans (via LAC): Wade Woodaz, LB, Clemson Grade: B This is a clean depth-and-development pick for a Texans defense that values linebacker discipline and special teams reliability. Woodaz gives Houston an experienced Clemson linebacker with enough instincts and processing ability to compete for early core-four work while developing into a rotational defender. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 123, the need, value, and defensive culture fit all line up. 124). Chicago Bears (via JAX): Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas Grade: B+ This is a strong value pick for a Bears secondary that still needed more cornerback depth and long-term upside. Muhammad brings legitimate outside speed, Power conference experience, and enough coverage tools to compete early while developing into a potential starter. At No. 124, Chicago lands a quality developmental corner at a fair value point after already addressing multiple offensive needs earlier in the draft. 125). Buffalo Bills (via CHI/KC): Skyler Bell, WR, Connecticut Grade: A- This is a high-upside value pick for a Bills offense that can always use more explosiveness around Josh Allen. Bell brings legitimate vertical speed, sharp agility testing, and big-play ability that can translate as a deep threat, motion piece, or packaged-touch receiver. The non-Power Five jump adds some projection risk, but at No. 125, Buffalo lands a dynamic athlete with clear offensive upside. 126). Buffalo Bills: Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LB, TCU Grade: B+ This is a strong athletic depth pick for a Bills defense that needed more speed at linebacker. Elarms-Orr has the range and movement profile to contribute early on special teams while developing into a sub-package defender who can match backs and tight ends in space. At No. 126, Buffalo gets a legitimate Day 3 linebacker with clear developmental traits and immediate coverage-unit value. 127). San Francisco 49ers: Carver Willis, OT, Washington Grade: B- Assuming the pick is Carver Willis, this is a reasonable offensive line depth add for a 49ers offense that values developmental tackles with enough movement ability to function in a zone-based run game. Willis gives San Francisco a swing tackle candidate who can compete for a roster spot while adding needed depth behind the starters. The ceiling is not especially high, but at No. 127, this is a practical trench investment with fair value. 128). Cincinnati Bengals (via DET/HOU): Connor Lew, C, Auburn Grade: B+ This is a strong calculated value pick for a Bengals offense that still has to prioritize interior protection for Joe Burrow. Lew brings high-end center tape, especially as a run blocker, with the intelligence and leverage profile to eventually compete for a starting role. The ACL recovery and frame concerns explain the slide, but at No. 128, Cincinnati lands one of the top centers in the class at a clear discount. 129). Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M Grade: B This is a solid value-and-depth pick for a Panthers secondary that needed more competition at corner. Lee brings a balanced profile with enough size, athletic ability, and SEC experience to compete for a roster spot while developing into a rotational defensive back. The ceiling is not elite, but at No. 129, Carolina gets a reasonable developmental corner in the right range. 130). Miami Dolphins (via DEN): Trey Moore, EDGE, Texas Grade: B This is a solid need-and-value pick for a Dolphins defense that had to add more edge depth after moving on from Bradley Chubb. Moore profiles as a rotational pass-rush specialist with enough athleticism and motor to contribute in sub-packages while developing behind Chop Robinson. At No. 130, Miami gets a useful Day 3 rusher at a fair cost, especially with this pick coming from the Jaylen Waddle trade. 131). Los Angeles Chargers (via NE): Genesis Smith, S, Arizona Grade: C+ This is an upside-based secondary pick, but the need alignment is not ideal for the Chargers. Smith brings range, length, and ball skills as a developmental post safety with turnover potential in single-high looks. The value is reasonable this late, but the tackling concerns and stronger roster needs at wide receiver, corner, and the defensive front keep this closer to a C+ than a true value win. 132). New Orleans Saints (via SEA): Jeremiah Wright, OG, Auburn Grade: B- This is a practical depth pick for a Saints roster that already addressed bigger needs earlier in the draft. Wright brings size, power, and SEC experience to compete for an interior offensive line spot while giving New Orleans a developmental run-game piece. He may not offer immediate starter value, but at No. 132, this is a sensible trench investment with low-risk depth appeal. 133). Baltimore Ravens (via SF): Matthew Hibner, TE, SMU Grade: B This is a logical need-based pick for a Ravens offense that had to rebuild its tight end depth behind Mark Andrews. Hibner gives Baltimore a receiving-oriented developmental option with enough speed to work the seams and contribute in multi-tight end looks. He is not a complete player yet, but at No. 133, the fit, opportunity, and offensive role clarity all make sense. 134). Atlanta Falcons (via LV): Kendal Daniels, LB, Oklahoma Grade: B- This is a sensible need-based pick for a Falcons defense that needed more linebacker depth and competition. Daniels brings instincts, production, and enough versatility to compete on special teams while developing into a rotational second-level defender. The athletic ceiling is not high-end, but at No. 134, Atlanta gets a legitimate Day 3 linebacker with a clear path to the roster. 135). Indianapolis Colts: Bryce Boettcher, LB, Oregon Grade: B This is a solid value pick for a Colts defense that continues to rebuild its linebacker depth. Boettcher brings instincts, toughness, and special teams value with enough football IQ to compete for a rotational role behind CJ Allen. Indianapolis already addressed linebacker earlier, but at No. 135, getting a player with this kind of board value makes the double-dip defensible. 136). New Orleans Saints: Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State Grade: A- This is one of the best upside values of Day 3 for a Saints offense that needed to keep adding weapons around Tyler Shough. Lance brings rare size-speed traits, elite explosiveness, and legitimate outside receiver tools to pair with Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson. The FCS jump and route-running polish are the developmental flags, but at No. 136, New Orleans lands a high-ceiling vertical threat at a major discount. 137). Dallas Cowboys (via PHI): LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama Grade: B This is a strong value swing for a Cowboys defense that needed more front-seven talent. Overton may not have tested like a true bend-and-burst edge, but his power, size, and inside-out versatility give Dallas a developmental hybrid defender who can reduce inside on passing downs. The movement limitations cap the ceiling, but at No. 137, getting this kind of pedigree and positional flexibility is good Day 3 work. 138). Miami Dolphins (via SF): Kyle Louis, LB/NB, Pittsburgh Grade: A- This is a major value pick for a Dolphins defense adding versatile, modern sub-package pieces. Louis gives Miami a hybrid linebacker/nickel defender with the speed, coverage range, and box physicality to create matchup flexibility in Jeff Hafley’s system. The positional projection needs clarity, but at No. 138, landing a top-60 caliber defensive chess piece is a clear Day 3 win. 139). San Francisco 49ers: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington Grade: B+ This is a strong value pick for a 49ers secondary that needed more size and competition at corner. Prysock brings the length, speed, and catch-point toughness to develop into a boundary corner who can function in both man and zone looks. He is not a guaranteed immediate starter, but at No. 139, San Francisco gets Day 2-caliber traits at a discounted Day 3 price. 140). Cincinnati Bengals: Colbie Young, WR, Georgia Grade: C+ This is a depth-based receiver pick for a Bengals offense that already has Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins locked into the top two roles. Young brings size, functional speed, and developmental red-zone upside, but he needs more route polish and consistency at the catch point to earn offensive snaps. At No. 140, the value is reasonable, but this feels more like a future WR4 swing than a direct answer to Cincinnati’s bigger trench needs. Day 3, Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft 141). Houston Texans (via LV/CLE): Kamari Ramsey, S, USC Grade: B This is a smart sub-package value pick for a Texans defense that prioritizes versatility in the secondary. Ramsey brings safety/nickel flexibility, functional speed, and the football IQ to handle communication responsibilities in complex coverage structures. He is not a high-end traits outlier, but at No. 141, Houston gets a dependable developmental defensive back with a real path to early defensive snaps. 142). Tennessee Titans (via NYJ/BAL): Fernando Carmona, OG, Arkansas Grade: B- This is a reasonable developmental offensive line pick for a Titans roster still building around Will Levis. Carmona brings guard size, movement skills, and enough athletic upside to compete in a zone or gap-based run scheme once the technique catches up. He is not a high-floor starter, but at No. 142, Tennessee gets a traits-based interior lineman in the right range. 143). Arizona Cardinals: Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech Grade: C+ This is a fair-range developmental receiver pick for a Cardinals offense continuing to add depth around Kyler Murray. Virgil brings functional speed, Air Raid experience, and enough athletic profile to compete as a complementary route runner in the back half of the receiver room. The value is fine at No. 143, but this is more of a depth swing than a clear early-impact weapon. 144). Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Sam Hecht, C, Kansas State Grade: B+ This is a strong value pick for a Panthers offense that continues to rebuild the line in front of its quarterback. Hecht brings center-specific intelligence, technical polish, and enough movement ability to compete for interior snaps while developing into a potential starter. Center may not have been Carolina’s biggest need, but at No. 144, landing a player with Day 2-level board value is a clear win. 145). Los Angeles Chargers (via NYG/CLE): Nick Barrett, DT, South Carolina Grade: B This is a solid developmental defensive line pick for a Chargers front that needed more interior depth and long-term insurance. Barrett brings enough size, power, and baseline athletic ability to compete for rotational snaps while developing behind the starters. The ceiling is more early-down depth than high-end starter, but at No. 145, the need, value, and trade-back context make this good Day 3 process. 146). Cleveland Browns: Parker Brailsford, C, Alabama Grade: B+ This is a clean value pick for a Browns offense that has clearly prioritized rebuilding the offensive line. Brailsford brings center athleticism, movement skills, and the processing profile to fit a zone-based front while giving Cleveland a developmental option at the pivot. At No. 146, the board value lines up and the long-term roster fit is strong. 147). Washington Commanders: Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee Grade: A- This is a strong value pick for a Commanders defense that still needed more pass-rush depth despite adding veteran help. Josephs brings natural edge-rush ability, length, and developmental starter traits that fit Dan Quinn’s front as a rotational disruptor early. At No. 147, Washington lands top-100 caliber value at a premium position, which makes this one of the better Day 3 defensive swings. 148). Seattle Seahawks (via KC/CLE): Beau Stephens, OG, Iowa Grade: B+ This is a clean need-and-value pick for a Seahawks offense that had to reinforce the interior offensive line. Stephens brings Iowa-developed technique, size, and developmental starter traits at a spot where Seattle needed a right guard option to help protect Sam Darnold. At No. 148, the board value matches the roster need, making this a purposeful Day 3 trench investment. 149). Cleveland Browns (via CIN): Justin Jefferson, LB, Alabama Grade: B This is a solid depth pick for a Browns defense adding more speed and special teams value at linebacker. Jefferson brings Alabama pedigree, a functional athletic profile, and enough developmental traits to compete for a roster spot right away. At No. 149, the value lines up with the range, and Cleveland gets a clean Day 3 linebacker with coverage-unit upside. 150). Las Vegas Raiders (via NO): Dalton Johnson, S, Arizona Grade: B This is a solid athletic depth pick for a Raiders secondary that continues to add young competition. Johnson brings 4.41 speed, special teams value, and enough range to compete for a back-end safety role behind Treydan Stukes. Safety was not the top roster need, but at No. 150, Las Vegas gets a developmental defensive back with clear roster and coverage-unit value. 151). Carolina Panthers (via MIA): Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State Grade: A- This is a strong value pick for a Panthers secondary that needed more long-term talent and competition. Wheatley brings Day 2-caliber safety value, Penn State defensive pedigree, and enough versatility to compete for early rotational snaps while developing into a potential starter. At No. 151, Carolina lands a legitimate secondary piece at a clear discount. 152). Denver Broncos (via DAL): Justin Joly, TE, N.C. State Grade: A This is a high-end value pick for a Broncos offense pushing to maximize Bo Nix’s window. Joly brings Day 2-caliber tight end value, receiving upside, and enough versatility to work as a complementary pass-game piece alongside Denver’s upgraded receiver group. At No. 152, landing a top-100 caliber prospect at a position that can expand the offense makes this one of Denver’s best Day 3 picks. 153). Green Bay Packers (via ATL/PHI): Jager Burton, C, Kentucky Grade: B This is a solid developmental interior offensive line pick for a Packers roster that consistently invests in depth up front. Burton brings center experience, functional athleticism, and enough SEC background to compete for a backup interior role early. The value is fair at No. 153, and while the ceiling is not high-end, Green Bay gets a practical depth piece at a position where roster flexibility matters. 154). San Francisco 49ers (via BAL): Jaden Dugger, LB, Louisiana Grade: B- This is a depth and special teams pick for a 49ers defense that needed more second-level competition. Dugger looks like a team-specific evaluation, going earlier than most public projections, but his path to the roster comes through coverage units and developmental linebacker depth. The value is a little light at No. 154, but for San Francisco, this is a reasonable late-round traits-and-fit swing. 155). Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson Grade: A- This is a high-upside value pick for a Buccaneers defense continuing to rebuild its front with size and athleticism. Capehart brings rare length, power, and movement skills for a 313-pound interior defender, giving Tampa Bay a developmental penetrator to pair with Rueben Bain Jr. up front. At No. 155, landing a Day 2-caliber defensive tackle with starter traits is a clear win. 156). Indianapolis Colts: George Gumbs Jr., EDGE, Florida Grade: B This is a need-based athletic swing for a Colts defense that still needed more edge depth behind Laiatu Latu. Gumbs brings real speed off the edge and immediate special teams value while developing into a rotational pass-rush option. The overall profile is still more backup than starter, but at No. 156, Indianapolis gets a traits-based defender at a priority position. 157). Detroit Lions: Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State Grade: A- This is a strong value pick for a Lions defense adding needed cornerback depth on Day 3. Abney brings competitive toughness, tackling ability, and catch-point fight that should translate early on special teams and sub-package work. Detroit already addressed offensive tackle in Round 1, and at No. 157, landing a Day 2-caliber corner with this profile is a clear value win. 158). Miami Dolphins (via MIN): Michael Taaffe, S, Texas Grade: B This is a solid depth pick for a Dolphins secondary that has been a clear investment point throughout the draft. Taaffe brings functional speed, Texas-tested experience, and immediate special teams value while competing for a reserve safety role. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 158, Miami gets a reliable Day 3 defensive back who fits the broader roster-building plan. 159). Minnesota Vikings (via CAR): Max Bredeson, FB, Michigan Grade: B- This is a role-specific pick for a Vikings offense adding a physical H-back/fullback type to the run game. Bredeson brings blocking utility, special teams value, and pro-style experience from Michigan, giving Kevin O’Connell a functional short-yardage and formation-flexibility piece. The positional value is limited, but at No. 159, this is a reasonable Day 3 specialist selection. 160). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via GB): Billy Schrauth, OG, Notre Dame Grade: B+ This is a strong Day 3 value pick for a Buccaneers roster adding needed interior offensive line depth. Schrauth brings Notre Dame trench pedigree, functional power, and enough developmental starter upside to compete for guard snaps down the line. At No. 160, Tampa Bay gets a legitimate depth piece with more long-term ceiling than most players available in this range. 161). Kansas City Chiefs (via PIT): Emmett Johnson, RB, Nebraska Grade: B+ This is a strong tape-over-testing value pick for a Chiefs offense that can maximize versatile running backs. Johnson’s Combine hurt his stock, but the three-down profile, contact balance, and receiving ability fit Andy Reid’s structure as a rotational back with upside. At No. 161, Kansas City gets a legitimate developmental RB2 option who can help reduce the burden on Patrick Mahomes as he works back from injury. 162). Baltimore Ravens (via LAC): Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke Grade: B+ This is a strong value pick for a Ravens defense that consistently adds depth and competition in the secondary. Rivers brings 4.40 speed, ACC experience, and enough developmental coverage upside to fit Baltimore’s zone-heavy structure. At No. 162, landing a Top 150-caliber corner with starter traits is clean Day 3 work. 163). Minnesota Vikings: Charles Demmings, CB, Stephen F. Austin Grade: B- This is a traits-based cornerback swing for a Vikings defense that needed more size and speed in the secondary. Demmings has the boundary frame, 4.41 speed, and developmental profile to fit Brian Flores’ disguise-heavy coverage structure while competing on special teams early. The FCS jump adds real projection risk, but in Round 5, the upside and roster fit make this a reasonable pick. 164). Jacksonville Jaguars: Tanner Koziol, TE, Houston Grade: C+ This is a developmental tight end swing for a Jaguars roster that had enough Day 3 capital to add depth at non-premium spots. Koziol brings a big in-line frame, adequate athletic traits, and enough size to compete as a blocker while developing behind Jacksonville’s established offensive pieces. The need is not strong and the production profile is modest, but at No. 164, this is a reasonable depth-and-upside pick. 165). Tennessee Titans (via BUF): Nick Singleton, RB, Penn State Grade: B+ This is a strong upside swing for a Titans offense that needed a long-term plan at running back. Singleton brings elite athletic traits, home-run potential, and enough receiving upside to fit Brian Daboll’s offense as a space player around Cam Ward. The production never fully matched the tools at Penn State, but at No. 165, Tennessee gets a high-ceiling back at a clear value point. 166). Chicago Bears (via SF/PHI): Keyshaun Elliott, LB, Arizona State Grade: C+ This is a depth and special teams pick for a Bears defense that did not have linebacker as a primary need. Elliott has the size and athletic profile to compete for a roster spot, but the production profile leaves real questions about how quickly he can earn defensive snaps. At No. 166, the upside is reasonable, but this feels more like a developmental coverage-unit swing than a clear roster upgrade. 167). Buffalo Bills (via HOU): Jalen Kilgore, S, South Carolina Grade: A- This is a strong value-and-need pick for a Bills secondary that needed more long-term answers. Kilgore brings the size, 4.40 speed, and starter-probability profile to develop into a real back-end contributor in Jim Leonard’s defense. He may need a year before handling full-time snaps, but at No. 167, Buffalo lands a Day 2/early Day 3 safety prospect at a clear discount. 168). Detroit Lions (via BUF): Kendrick Law, WR, Kentucky Grade: C+ This is a tools-based receiver swing for a Lions offense adding depth rather than solving a primary need. Law brings good athletic traits, functional speed, and developmental upside, but the production profile makes him more projection than proven contributor. At No. 168, the value is acceptable, but Detroit had more pressing needs at edge, safety, linebacker, and offensive line. 169). Pittsburgh Steelers (via LAR): Riley Nowakowski, TE, Indiana Grade: C+ This is a need-based depth pick for a Steelers tight end room that needed a TE3/H-back option. Nowakowski has the size and functional speed to compete on special teams while developing as a blocking-capable reserve behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. The issue is upside, as the athletic and production profile looks modest, making this more of a roster-depth add than a future impact piece. 170). Cleveland Browns (via DEN): Joe Royer, TE, Cincinnati Grade: C+ This is a fair-range developmental tight end pick for a Browns roster still adding competition across the depth chart. Royer has the size and frame to work as an in-line option with some receiving upside in Todd Monken’s offense. The need was not urgent and the early-impact profile is limited, but at No. 170, this is a reasonable depth swing with a path to a TE3 role. 171). New England Patriots: Karon Prunty, TE, Texas A&M Grade: C+ This is a scheme-fit depth pick for a Patriots offense that values multiple tight end personnel around Drake Maye. Prunty gives New England another developmental option behind Hunter Henry and Eli Raridon, with a path to compete for TE3 snaps and special teams work. The issue is redundancy, as the Patriots already addressed tight end earlier, making this more of a roster-depth add than an immediate-impact selection. 172). New Orleans Saints (via SEA): Lorenzo Styles Jr., S, Ohio State Grade: C+ This is a speed-based developmental swing for a Saints roster still looking for talent across the board. Styles brings rare 4.27 range, coverage upside, and immediate special teams value, which fits Brandon Staley’s preference for versatile defensive backs. The production profile and frame concerns make him a longer-term project, so at No. 172, this is more traits bet than impact pick. 173). Baltimore Ravens: Josh Cuevas, TE, Alabama Grade: B- This is a scheme-specific tight end pick for a Ravens offense that values physicality and multi-tight end flexibility. Cuevas is not a high-end athlete, but his production profile, blocking utility, and football-first skill set give him a path to a roster spot in Baltimore’s run-heavy structure. At No. 173, this is a reasonable developmental TE swing with clear offensive fit. 174). Baltimore Ravens: Adam Randall, RB, Clemson Grade: B This is a strong scheme-fit swing for a Ravens offense that consistently maximizes physical backs. Randall brings rare size, functional speed, and power-back traits that fit Baltimore’s run-heavy structure as a developmental complement to Lamar Jackson. The production profile creates some risk, but at No. 174, the scouting grade and offensive fit make this a worthwhile Day 3 upside pick. 175). Las Vegas Raiders: Hezekiah Masses, CB, California Grade: D+ This is a low-upside depth swing for a Raiders secondary that had already added more viable cornerback talent earlier in the draft. Masses has enough production and instincts to compete in camp, but the athletic profile and 179-pound frame create major concerns against NFL receivers. At No. 175, Las Vegas needed higher-upside depth at wide receiver or defensive line, making this feel more like a roster flyer than a meaningful value pick. 176). Kansas City Chiefs: Cyrus Allen, WR, Cincinnati Grade: C+ This is a need-based receiver swing for a Chiefs offense that still has to add more reliable targets around Patrick Mahomes. Allen brings productive college tape and enough route versatility to compete for a developmental depth role, but he is not a clear answer to Kansas City’s boundary receiver problem. At No. 176, the value is fair, but the pick is capped by the gap between the roster need and the player’s likely early role. 177). Miami Dolphins (via DAL): Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Missouri Grade: C This addresses a major need for a Dolphins offense that lost significant receiver firepower, but Coleman profiles more as depth than a solution. He has enough short-area quickness and slot/gadget ability to compete for packaged touches, yet the modest athletic, production, and starter-probability profile limits the ceiling. At No. 177, the range is fine, but Miami still needs a true impact receiver. 178). Philadelphia Eagles: Cole Payton, QB, North Dakota State Grade: B This is a smart developmental quarterback swing for an Eagles roster that does not have to force the position. Payton brings size, mobility, and FCS quarterback pedigree that fits Philadelphia’s offensive structure behind Jalen Hurts. The competition jump is the main concern, but at No. 178, the athletic upside and backup-development profile make this a worthwhile Day 3 value pick. 179). San Francisco 49ers (via NYJ): Enrique Cruz, OT, Kansas Grade: D+ This is a major traits-over-tape swing for a 49ers offense that does value athletic linemen in its outside-zone structure. Cruz has the movement profile, size, and testing numbers to fit what Kyle Shanahan wants up front, but the production profile and 7th-round/UDFA projection make this a clear reach at No. 179. The athletic upside is real, but San Francisco likely paid too early for a developmental tackle who may have been available much later. 180). Miami Dolphins (via DAL): Seydou Traore, TE, Mississippi State Grade: B- This is a developmental upside swing for a Dolphins offense adding pass-catching flexibility under Bobby Slowik. Traore brings rare athletic traits, a wide receiver background, and legitimate receiving instincts for a tight end, which gives him more upside than a standard late Day 3 project. The need is reduced after Miami already added Will Kacmarek, but at No. 180, the international pathway story, tools, and developmental ceiling make this a worthwhile bet. 181). Buffalo Bills (via DET): Zane Durant, DT, Penn State Grade: B+ This is a strong athletic upside pick for a Bills front that needed more interior disruption. Durant fits Buffalo’s one-gap structure as a quick, explosive rotational 3-technique behind Ed Oliver, with the burst to penetrate and create backfield disruption. The production profile is the concern, but at No. 181, the rare athletic traits and clear positional need make this a quality Day 3 value. Day 3, Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft 182). Cleveland Browns: Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas Grade: B- This is a worthwhile developmental quarterback swing for a team without a locked-in long-term solution. Green brings rare size, mobility, and play-extension traits, giving Carolina a toolsy backup with upside if the accuracy and decision-making stabilize. At No. 182, the volatility is acceptable because the physical ceiling is worth developing. 183). Arizona Cardinals: Karson Sharar, LB, Iowa Grade: C+ This is a depth and special teams pick for an Arizona defense that needed more second-level competition. Sharar brings size, Iowa defensive background, and enough physicality to compete for a roster spot, but the athletic ceiling and overall profile look limited. At No. 183, this is a reasonable depth add, though linebacker feels like a position Arizona could have addressed earlier. 184). Tennessee Titans: Jackie Marshall, DL, Baylor Grade: B- This is a practical defensive line depth pick for a Titans roster still building out the trenches. Marshall gives Tennessee a big-bodied interior defender with enough size to compete for rotational early-down snaps and help strengthen the run front. The ceiling is more depth than impact starter, but at No. 184, this is a sensible front-seven investment. 185). Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bauer Sharp, TE, LSU Grade: B- This is a functional depth pick for a Buccaneers offense that can expand its personnel groupings under Zac Robinson. Sharp brings size, in-line ability, and enough receiving utility to support heavier two and three-tight end sets. The value is modest, but at No. 185, Tampa Bay gets a developmental TE with a clear offensive role. 186). New York Giants: Bobby Jamison-Travis, DL, Auburn Grade: C+ This is a specific run-defense pick for a Giants front that needed more mass after moving on from Dexter Lawrence. Jamison-Travis brings a stout 328-pound frame and early-down interior value as a gap-plugging rotational defender. The pass-rush ceiling is limited, but at No. 186, the role clarity makes the pick understandable. 187). Washington Commanders: Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State Grade: B+ This is strong Day 3 value for a Commanders offense that needed to add another backfield option. Allen brings size, contact balance, and a physical running style that can complement Washington’s existing committee. At No. 187, landing a top-five positional back by ranking is a clear value win. 188). New York Jets: Anez Cooper, IOL, Miami Grade: B- This is a practical interior offensive line depth pick for a Jets roster that already addressed its likely Alijah Vera-Tucker replacement. Cooper brings rare size, guard versatility, and enough power to compete for backup snaps early. The ceiling is not high-end, but at No. 188, this is sensible trench depth. 189). Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Parker II, IOL, Duke Grade: A- This is excellent sixth-round value for a Bengals offense continuing to add protection in front of Joe Burrow. Parker brings interior versatility and enough developmental upside to coexist with the earlier Connor Lew pick rather than duplicate it. At No. 189, Cincinnati lands a useful depth piece with better board value than the slot suggests. 190). New Orleans Saints: Barion Brown, WR, LSU Grade: C+ This is a speed and return-game swing for a Saints offense that keeps adding receiver depth. Brown brings legitimate track speed and special teams versatility, giving New Orleans a field-position piece with package-play potential. The offensive projection is limited, but at No. 190, the speed gives him a path to the roster. 191). Jacksonville Jaguars: Josh Cameron, WR, Baylor Grade: B This is a solid late-round receiver pick built around toughness and yards-after-catch ability. Cameron has the size and contact balance to work through traffic and create after the catch, giving his offense a developmental possession target with special teams upside. At No. 191, the value is clean for a physical WR depth add. 192). New York Giants: J.C. Davis, OT, Illinois Grade: B This is a good swing tackle investment in the sixth round. Davis has the foot speed and size to develop as a reserve edge protector, with enough movement ability to compete for backup tackle snaps early. At No. 192, landing a potential swing tackle is strong roster value. 193). New York Giants: Jack Kelly, LB, BYU Grade: B This is a solid late-round linebacker value with real defensive utility. Kelly brings size, range, and pass-rush production, including 10 sacks last season, which gives him a path to contribute as a pressure-package linebacker and special teams player. At No. 193, that kind of activity and role flexibility is worth the pick. 194). Tennessee Titans: Pat Coogan, IOL, Indiana Grade: B- This is a practical interior offensive line depth pick in the sixth round. Coogan brings good size, center/guard flexibility, and enough experience to compete for a backup role early. The ceiling is likely reserve interior lineman, but at No. 194, that is acceptable roster value. 195). Las Vegas Raiders: Malik Benson, WR, Oregon Grade: C+ This is a speed-based receiver depth swing with return-game potential. Benson has enough athletic ability to compete for a back-end roster spot, but the production and overall board value are more modest than the trait profile. At No. 195, he is a reasonable late-round flyer, though the path to offensive snaps will depend on special teams value. 196). New England Patriots: Dametrious Crownover, OT, Texas A&M Grade: A This is excellent sixth-round value for a Patriots offense that still needed to keep adding protection around Drake Maye. Crownover brings rare mass, right tackle power, and developmental upside, giving New England quality depth behind Caleb Lomu. At No. 196, landing a tackle with this size profile and top-160 board value is a strong roster-building win. 197). Los Angeles Rams: CJ Daniels, WR, Miami Grade: B This is a solid depth receiver pick for a Rams offense that values reliable hands and route detail. Daniels brings productive college tape and the ability to finish plays when the ball is placed accurately, giving Sean McVay another developmental target. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 197, this is a reasonable receiver-room add. 198). Minnesota Vikings: Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest Grade: A This is a strong value pick for a Vikings backfield that needed more explosiveness. Claiborne is undersized, but his burst, long speed, and change-of-pace profile give Minnesota a dynamic complement to its existing power structure. At No. 198, landing this kind of big-play ability after trading future capital is a worthwhile swing. 199). Seattle Seahawks: Emmanuel Henderson Jr., WR, Kansas Grade: B- This is a speed-based receiver swing for a Seahawks offense that retained Rashid Shaheed but still needed vertical depth. Henderson has a thin frame, but his acceleration and field-stretching ability give Seattle a developmental Z/slot option with special teams upside. At No. 199, the value is fair if the speed translates. 200). Miami Dolphins: DJ Campbell, IOL, Texas Grade: B This is a practical interior offensive line pick for a Dolphins roster that needed more run-game mass and depth. Campbell brings a thick lower half, power, and the ability to create movement when his technique is right. The volatility is real, but at No. 200, Miami gets a developmental guard with useful physical tools. 201). Green Bay Packers: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama Grade: A This is excellent value for Green Bay this late in the sixth round. Jackson has the height, weight, speed profile, and former blue-chip pedigree to develop into a legitimate outside corner if the technique and consistency catch up. At No. 201, the Packers land one of the better upside swings on the board. 202). Los Angeles Chargers: Logan Taylor, OT, Boston College Grade: A This is a strong offensive line value pick for the Chargers. Taylor comes from a Boston College pipeline that consistently produces NFL-caliber linemen, and he gives Los Angeles another developmental tackle option after Jude Bowry came off the board earlier. At No. 202, landing a preferred remaining tackle with swing-depth potential is clean Day 3 work. 203). Jacksonville Jaguars: CJ Williams, WR, Stanford Grade: C This is a depth-based receiver pick for a Jaguars roster already investing heavily in the position. Williams brings size and developmental traits, but the overall board value and crowded wide receiver room make the path to snaps difficult. At No. 203, it is a reasonable flyer, but not a clear value win. 204). Houston Texans: Lewis Bond, WR, Boston College Grade: B This is a solid late-round receiver pick for a Texans offense adding more route-running depth around C.J. Stroud. Bond does not have ideal top-end speed, but he understands spacing, finds soft spots, and can create enough separation in the short-to-intermediate game. At No. 204, Houston gets a useful developmental possession receiver. 205). Detroit Lions: Skyler Gill-Howard, DL, Texas Tech Grade: B+ This is a strong value pick for a Lions defensive front that needed more interior depth. Gill-Howard is undersized, but his quickness and active disruption profile give Detroit a rotational interior defender who can penetrate and create movement. The limited pass-rush production caps the grade, but at No. 205, this is good Day 3 value. 206). Los Angeles Chargers: Alex Harkey, IOL, Oregon Grade: C This is an inconsistent value pick for a Chargers team that has already invested heavily in the offensive line. Harkey has the size and flashes to develop as interior depth, but the evaluation varies enough by game that the floor is a concern. At No. 206, this is a reasonable developmental swing, though Los Angeles has now spent significant Day 3 capital on the same position group. 207). Philadelphia Eagles: Micah Morris, IOL, Georgia Grade: B- This is a practical trench-depth pick for an Eagles roster that consistently invests in offensive line development. Morris brings SEC experience, guard size, and enough power to compete for a reserve interior role. The ceiling is more backup than starter, but at No. 207, Philadelphia gets a developmental lineman from a proven program. 208). Atlanta Falcons: Anterio Thompson, DT, Washington Grade: C+ Atlanta had a real defensive line need after losing David Onyemata, so the positional fit is legitimate. Thompson offers rotational interior depth with some late pass-rush flashes, but the anchor and run-defense consistency are concerns. At No. 208, this is a reasonable depth swing, though the floor keeps the grade capped. 209). Washington Commanders: Matt Gulbin, C, Michigan State Grade: B- This addresses a real need after Washington moved on from Tyler Biadasz, giving the Commanders a developmental center with a path to compete. Gulbin’s production profile is encouraging, but the below-average athletic profile makes him more projection than plug-and-play starter. At No. 209, the fit works, but the value is more solid than standout. 210). Pittsburgh Steelers: Gabe Rubio, DL, Notre Dame Grade: C+ This is a size-and-depth pick for a Steelers front adding more early-down mass. Rubio fits as a rotational run defender, but the lack of pass-rush upside limits his overall ceiling. At No. 210, the role is clear, but this is more depth insurance than impact value. 211). Baltimore Ravens: Ryan Eckley, P, Michigan State Grade: B- This is a specialist pick tied to Baltimore’s field-position identity. Eckley has the leg to compete for a roster spot and help flip the field, but the positional value is limited in Round 6. The fit makes sense, though the Ravens had more pressing needs at offensive line and defensive line. 212). New England Patriots: Namdi Obiazor, LB, TCU Grade: C+ This is an athletic special teams swing for a Patriots roster that needed more back-end depth. Obiazor has the movement skills to compete on coverage units, but the production profile and 7th-round/UDFA projection make this feel early. At No. 212, New England is betting on traits more than proven defensive value. 213). Chicago Bears: Jordan van den Berg, DT, Georgia Tech Grade: C+ This is a late-round defensive line flyer for a Bears front that needed more long-term depth. Van den Berg has some quickness and effort, but the ability to hold up at the point of attack remains the concern. At No. 213, this is a reasonable traits-based depth swing, not a clear value pick. 214). Indianapolis Colts: Caden Curry, EDGE, Ohio State Grade: B This is a solid value pick for a Colts defense that needed more edge depth. Curry brings a balanced profile, Power Four pedigree, and enough production to project as a rotational defensive end with developmental upside. At No. 214, Indianapolis gets a 4th–5th round type of player in Round 6, which makes the value work. 215). Atlanta Falcons: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU Grade: B+ This is a strong upside swing for a Falcons defense that needed linebacker help after losing Kaden Elliss. Perkins brings legitimate speed, range, and blitz versatility, giving Atlanta a sub-package weapon if the role is defined properly. The production profile and starter probability temper the grade, but at No. 215, the athletic ceiling is worth the bet. 216). Green Bay Packers: Trey Smack, K, Florida Grade: C+ This is a specialist pick with a clear camp-competition purpose. Smack gives Green Bay another leg to evaluate, but the positional value is limited and the Packers still had more urgent depth needs on both lines. At No. 216, it is acceptable roster management, but not a premium value play. Day 3, Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft 217). Arizona Cardinals: Jayden Williams, OT, Ole Miss Grade: B This is a practical offensive tackle depth swing for a Cardinals roster that needed more competition on the edge. Williams does not carry major pre-draft buzz, but Arizona needed multiple shots at improving its tackle depth and right tackle competition. At No. 217, this is reasonable roster-building at a position of need. 218). Dallas Cowboys: Anthony Smith, WR, East Carolina Grade: C+ This is a developmental receiver flyer for a Cowboys offense that did not have wide receiver as a top priority. Smith brings some size and production, but the lack of tracked prospect value makes this feel closer to UDFA territory than a clear draftable value. At No. 218, the program connection is not enough to push this above a depth swing. 219). New Orleans Saints: TJ Hall, CB, Iowa Grade: B- This is a sensible need-based cornerback pick for a Saints secondary that needed more competition after losing Alontae Taylor. Hall brings instincts, Iowa defensive background, and enough production to compete for special teams and reserve snaps. The athletic ceiling is limited, but at No. 219, the fit and floor make this a reasonable late-round add. 220). Buffalo Bills: Toriano Pride Jr., CB, Missouri Grade: B- This is a solid traits-based cornerback pick for a Bills secondary that needed more depth. Pride brings Power Four experience, functional athleticism, and enough coverage tools to compete for reserve snaps and special teams work. The production profile keeps the ceiling modest, but at No. 220, Buffalo gets a reasonable developmental defensive back. 221). Cincinnati Bengals: Jack Endries, TE, Texas Grade: B+ This is strong late-round value for a Bengals offense that can always use another receiving option around Joe Burrow. Endries brings a balanced profile with size, production, and enough pass-game upside to develop into a useful TE2. Tight end was not a top need, so the grade comes down slightly, but landing a 4th–5th round type in Round 7 is still quality value. 222). Detroit Lions: Tyre West, DT, Tennessee Grade: B+ This is a strong developmental defensive line swing for a Lions front that needed more interior depth. West may need a full-time positional transition inside, but his tools and flashes give Detroit a moldable rotational piece. The Lions have the defensive line infrastructure to bet on this type of profile, making the fit and value strong at No. 222. 223). Washington Commanders: Athan Kaliakmanis, QB, Rutgers Grade: C+ This is a low-cost quarterback depth pick for a Commanders roster that already has Jayden Daniels locked in as the franchise starter. Kaliakmanis brings size and starting experience, but the ceiling looks capped and there is no immediate path to meaningful snaps. At No. 223, this is QB3 insurance more than a true developmental investment. 224). Pittsburgh Steelers: Robert Spears-Jennings, S, Oklahoma Grade: B- This is a reasonable athletic safety swing for a Steelers defense adding back-end competition. Spears-Jennings brings size, speed, and special teams upside, but the production profile is modest and safety was not Pittsburgh’s most urgent roster need. At No. 224, the value is solid, just not strong enough to push above B range. 225). Tennessee Titans: Jaren Kanak, TE, Oklahoma Grade: C+ This is a raw projection pick for a Titans roster taking a late swing on athletic versatility. Kanak’s two-way background creates some intrigue, but his tight end projection is still undeveloped and the production profile is light. At No. 225, this is a roster flyer with special teams value more than a clear offensive answer. 226). Cincinnati Bengals: Landon Robinson, DL, Navy Grade: B- This is a practical defensive line depth pick for a Bengals front that needed more run-defense help. Robinson brings toughness, leverage, and rotational early-down potential, which fits a team that had to get stronger inside. The pass-rush ceiling is limited, but at No. 226, the need and role clarity make this a solid late-round add. 227). Carolina Panthers: Jackson Kuwatch, LB, Miami Ohio Grade: B- This profiles as a late-round linebacker and special teams swing for Carolina. Kuwatch does not carry much pre-draft traction, and linebacker was not one of the Panthers’ clearest needs, which keeps the grade capped. The path to the roster would need to come through coverage units and depth competition rather than early defensive snaps. 228). New York Jets: VJ Payne, S, Kansas State Grade: C+ This is an athletic safety flyer for a Jets defense adding more back-end competition. Payne has the size, downhill physicality, and movement traits to compete on special teams, but the production profile and coverage ceiling limit the projection. At No. 228, the value is acceptable, though safety was not one of New York’s most pressing needs. 229). Las Vegas Raiders: Brandon Cleveland, DT, N.C. State Grade: C+ This is a need-based nose tackle swing for a Raiders front that needed more interior mass in its new 3-4 structure. Cleveland has the frame and play strength to compete as a run-down interior defender, but the overall athletic and production profile points more to depth than upside. At No. 229, the fit is clear, but this is not a high-end value pick. 230). Pittsburgh Steelers: Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy Grade: B+ This is a strong late-round value pick built on athleticism, versatility, and special teams utility. Heidenreich has the movement profile and all-purpose background to compete as a depth back, receiver, and coverage-unit contributor. Running back was not a top need, but at No. 230, the role flexibility gives him a real path to stick. 231). Atlanta Falcons: Ethan Onianwa, IOL, Ohio State Grade: C+ This is a developmental offensive line swing for a Falcons roster with more urgent needs on the defensive front. Onianwa brings rare size and some positional flexibility, but the lack of tracked prospect value makes this more projection than proven depth. At No. 231, the traits are worth a flyer, but the early-impact path is limited. 232). Los Angeles Rams: Tim Keenan III, DT, Alabama Grade: B- This is a reasonable defensive line depth pick for a Rams front that can use more rotational bodies. Keenan brings SEC experience, size, and early-down run value, but the athletic and production profile does not suggest major upside. At No. 232, this is solid trench depth, not a standout value. 233). Jacksonville Jaguars: Zach Durfee, EDGE, Washington Grade: B- This is a sensible edge-depth swing for a Jaguars defense that needed more pass-rush competition. Durfee does not carry much pre-draft traction, but the positional value and Jacksonville’s need up front make the pick defensible. At No. 233, this is a traits-based flyer with a realistic special teams and rotational path. 234). New England Patriots: Behren Morton, QB, Texas Tech Grade: C+ This is a quarterback depth pick for a Patriots roster already built around Drake Maye. Morton has enough arm talent and experience to compete for a QB3 role, but the production profile and lack of immediate roster need cap the value. At No. 234, this is camp competition more than a meaningful long-term investment. 235). Minnesota Vikings: Gavin Gerhardt, C, Cincinnati Grade: C+ This is a practical center-depth pick for a Vikings roster with a real interior offensive line need. Gerhardt does not carry major pre-draft traction, which makes this more of a late-round roster competition add than a value pick. At No. 235, the positional logic is sound, but the ceiling keeps the grade capped. 236). Seattle Seahawks: Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo Grade: A- This is a strong late-round value pick for a Seahawks secondary that needed cornerback depth after losing Riq Woolen. Fuller brings a balanced athletic and production profile, a 5th–6th round projection, and legitimate starter-probability value this late in the draft. The MAC competition jump is the only real caveat, but at No. 236, Seattle lands one of the better seventh-round value plays. 237). Indianapolis Colts: Seth McGowan, RB, Kentucky Grade: B- This is a reasonable athletic backfield depth swing for the Colts. McGowan brings size, movement skills, and SEC experience, but the production profile and low starter probability keep the projection modest. Running back was not a top need for Indianapolis, so at No. 237, this is more developmental depth than a true value win. 238). Miami Dolphins: Max Llewellyn, EDGE, Iowa Grade: B This is a strong need-based value pick for a Dolphins defense that had to keep adding edge depth. Llewellyn has a balanced profile, Iowa defensive pedigree, and a projected range that suggests he should have come off the board earlier. The starter upside is limited, but at No. 238, Miami gets a legitimate rotational edge candidate at a clear discount. 239). Buffalo Bills: Tommy Doman, P, Florida Grade: D+ This is a difficult value pick to justify for Buffalo. Doman profiles as a UDFA-level specialist, and the Bills still had more actionable needs at interior offensive line, cornerback, and edge. Unless Buffalo views him as a clear immediate upgrade in the kicking game, using a seventh-round pick here feels like poor roster-value allocation. 240). Jacksonville Jaguars: Parker Hughes, LB, Montana State Grade: C This is a depth linebacker pick for a Jaguars defense that needed bodies after moving on from Devin Lloyd. Hughes brings tackling production and a potential special teams path, but the size profile and lower-level competition make the projection modest. At No. 240, this is more camp competition than clear roster value. 241). Buffalo Bills: Ar’maj Reed-Adams, IOL, Texas A&M Grade: B This is a solid need-based interior offensive line pick for a Bills roster that needed more depth after losing David Edwards. Reed-Adams brings size, power, and production, with enough guard flexibility to compete for a reserve role. The athletic profile keeps the ceiling modest, but at No. 241, Buffalo gets a legitimate developmental trench piece. 242). Seattle Seahawks: Deven Eastern, DT, Minnesota Grade: D+ This is a tough value pick to justify for Seattle. Eastern has size and length, but the production profile, leverage issues, and UDFA-level projection make this feel early even in Round 7. At No. 242, the Seahawks are betting on traits, but the roster need and prospect value do not line up cleanly. 243). Houston Texans: Aiden Fisher, LB, Indiana Grade: B+ This is strong late-round value for a Texans defense that needed linebacker depth with multiple contracts approaching. Fisher brings excellent production, size, and enough instincts to compete for early special teams work while developing into a rotational defender. The athletic ceiling is modest, but at No. 243, landing a 4th–5th round type with a strong overall grade is a clear win. 244). Philadelphia Eagles: Cole Wisniewski, S, Texas Tech Grade: B- This is a depth safety pick for an Eagles defense adding more back-end competition. Wisniewski brings size, physicality, and developmental upside after beginning his career at North Dakota State. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 244, he has a realistic path through special teams and reserve safety work. 245). New England Patriots: Jam Miller, RB, Alabama Grade: B+ This is a strong late-round value pick for a Patriots offense adding quality depth behind TreVeyon Henderson. Miller has a strong Alabama pedigree, three-down traits, and enough talent to have come off the board earlier if not for injury concerns. At No. 245, New England gets a worthwhile backfield swing with legitimate roster value. 246). Denver Broncos: Miles Scott, S, Illinois Grade: C This is a depth safety pick for a Broncos defense that already had more competition at the position. Scott brings special teams value and enough coverage background to compete in camp, but the overall profile is modest. At No. 246, this feels more like roster competition than a clear value add. 247). New England Patriots: Quintavious Hutchins, EDGE, Boston College Grade: B+ This is a strong need-and-value pick for a Patriots front that needed another developmental edge rusher. Hutchins brings quickness, gap-shooting ability, and enough pass-rush instincts to compete as a designated rusher. He may be role-specific early, but at No. 247, New England gets a useful pressure piece with developmental upside. 248). Cleveland Browns: Carsen Ryan, TE, BYU Grade: B This is a reasonable developmental tight end pick for a Browns offense adding more competition at the position. Ryan brings good size, athletic ability, and receiving upside, with enough tools to compete for a TE3 role. The finer points of the position still need work, but at No. 248, the value is solid. 249). Kansas City Chiefs: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU Grade: A This is outstanding value for Kansas City and one of the best late-round picks in the draft. Nussmeier was widely expected to come off the board much earlier, and landing with Andy Reid behind Patrick Mahomes is an ideal developmental environment. At No. 249, the Chiefs get a high-level backup quarterback prospect with Day 2-caliber traits at almost no cost. 250). Baltimore Ravens: Rayshaun Benny, DL, Michigan Grade: B This is a solid late-round defensive line pick for a Ravens front that values size, strength, and rotational depth. Benny brings Big Ten experience, interior mass, and enough run-game value to compete for early-down snaps. At No. 250, Baltimore gets a functional trench piece with a clear developmental role. 251). Philadelphia Eagles: Uar Bernard, DL, Nigeria Grade: B This is a rare athletic upside swing for an Eagles front that has the infrastructure to develop international defensive line talent. Bernard is raw and coming through the International Player Pathway, but the size, movement profile, and developmental ceiling are worth betting on this late. At No. 251, Philadelphia gets a traits-based stash with more upside than most seventh-round picks. 252). Philadelphia Eagles: Keyshawn James-Newby, EDGE, New Mexico Grade: B- This is a productive small-school pass-rush swing for an Eagles defense adding more developmental edge depth. James-Newby brings sack production and a defined pressure profile, but the jump in competition and refinement needs keep the projection modest. At No. 252, this is a reasonable late-round rusher to develop behind Philadelphia’s established front. 253). Baltimore Ravens: Evan Beerntsen, IOL, Northwestern Grade: B This is a smart late-round interior offensive line pick for a Ravens roster that needed more versatility up front. Beerntsen brings guard/center flexibility, intelligence, and enough functional size to compete for a reserve role. At No. 253, Baltimore gets a developmental trench piece with a clear roster path. 254). Indianapolis Colts: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma Grade: A+ This is excellent late-round value for a Colts offense adding more explosive playmaking around its quarterback. Burks is undersized, but his speed, suddenness, and open-field ability give Indianapolis a slot/gadget weapon with real package value. At No. 254, landing a receiver with his acceleration and movement traits is a strong Day 3 win. 255). Seattle Seahawks: Michael Dansby, CB, Arizona Grade: C This is a depth cornerback flyer for a Seahawks secondary that already added competition earlier in the draft. Dansby brings production and Pac-12 experience, but the athletic ceiling and overall profile look limited. At No. 255, this is more camp competition than a strong value play. 256). Denver Broncos: Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah Grade: B- This is a reasonable tight end depth pick for a Broncos offense adding more developmental size. Bentley brings a big frame, blocking utility, and enough receiving upside to compete for a TE3 role. The ceiling is modest, but at No. 256, the roster path is clear. 257). Denver Broncos: Red Murdock, LB, Buffalo Grade: B This is a solid final-pick value for a Broncos defense adding linebacker depth and special teams competition. Murdock brings production, size, and enough second-level toughness to compete for a roster spot through coverage units. At No. 257, Denver gets a functional developmental linebacker with a real path to stick.

Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft sets up as a defense-heavy board. After Round 1 leaned into offensive line, pass rush, and skill-position talent, several of the top remaining Football Scout 365 prospects are still available at cornerback, linebacker, safety, and interior defensive line. Cornerback is the headline. Jermod McCoy is the top player left on the FS365 board, while Colton Hood, Avieon Terrell, D’Angelo Ponds, and Brandon Cisse give teams multiple starting-caliber options. Cincinnati, New Orleans, Minnesota, Kansas City, Miami, and Seattle are all teams to watch if the corner run starts early. Linebacker could also move quickly after only one came off the board in Round 1, with C.J. Allen, Josiah Trotter, Jake Golday, Kyle Louis, Jacob Rodriguez, and Anthony Hill Jr. still available. The board also remains strong at safety and interior defensive line, led by Kayden McDonald, Lee Hunter, Jalon Kilgore, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, A.J. Haulcy, and Treydan Stukes. Denzel Boston is the top wide receiver left, but the bottom line is clear: Day 2 should be defined by defensive value, with cornerback as the premium position to monitor early. 2026 NFL Draft Hub Track the NFL Draft with predictive mock draft projections, big board rankings, and team needs analysis for all 32 NFL teams, powered by Football Scout 365. Click Here to Go To the NFL Draft Hub Football Scout 365 Best Available Players In The 2026 NFL Draft 1. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 17 McCoy is the top remaining player on the Football Scout 365 board and the biggest Round 1 slide from our perspective. The talent is still first-round caliber. He brings press-man physicality, patient footwork, recovery speed, and advanced route recognition. The medical variable tied to his ACL recovery is the reason he remains available, but the coverage profile still points to CB1 upside. Best Team Fits: The Dallas Cowboys make the most sense if McCoy reaches their Day 2 range. Cornerback remains a clear need, and McCoy’s press-man traits fit a defense that needs more high-end perimeter coverage. The Minnesota Vikings also stand out after passing on cornerback in Round 1. McCoy would give them the type of long-term outside corner they have been searching for. 2. Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 22 Hood is one of the cleanest cornerback values left on the board. He has the size, speed, length, and competitive profile to play outside, while also offering enough short-area quickness to handle certain slot matchups. His ball skills and route recognition translate well to press-man, off-man, and match-zone systems. Best Team Fits: The New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks all fit the profile. New Orleans needs cornerback help early on Day 2. Green Bay could use another physical coverage player in the secondary. Seattle passed on cornerback in Round 1 and could circle back to the position if Hood slides into their range. 3. Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 24 Kilgore is one of the most versatile defensive backs still available. He can align at safety, in the slot, and in certain boundary looks, giving defensive coordinators a movable piece on the back end. His best traits are processing speed, zone awareness, short-area burst, and the ability to trigger downhill with urgency. Best Team Fits: The Cincinnati Bengals are a strong fit because of their need for defensive upgrades at multiple levels. Kilgore’s versatility would give them flexibility in sub-packages. The Atlanta Falcons also make sense for a defense that can use more speed and multiplicity in the secondary. Minnesota is another logical landing spot if it wants to add a defensive back with more alignment flexibility. 4. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 25 Boston is the top remaining wide receiver on the Football Scout 365 board. He is a big-bodied boundary receiver who wins with catch strength, body positioning, and red-zone production. He is not a pure vertical separator, but he understands leverage and creates throwing windows with size, timing, and physicality. Best Team Fits: The New York Jets are the cleanest fit at the top of Round 2. Boston would give them a physical boundary option to complement Garrett Wilson. The Tennessee Titans also make sense if they want to add size and reliability to the passing game. Cleveland could be in play as well if it prioritizes a possession-based perimeter target. 5. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 28 Terrell is a twitchy, competitive corner with quick feet, fluid hips, and strong route recognition. He plays bigger than his size and brings excellent run support value. His instincts, motor, and coverage discipline give him one of the higher floors among the remaining defensive backs. Best Team Fits: Kansas City is a strong fit after losing key pieces in the secondary and needing more cornerback depth. New Orleans could also target Terrell if it wants a competitive nickel/outside hybrid. Green Bay makes sense as a team that values coverage intelligence and physicality in the secondary. 6. Kayden McDonald, IDL, Ohio State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 29 McDonald is one of the top interior defensive linemen left on the board. At 6’3”, 326 pounds, he brings density, leverage, power, and true anchor strength. He is not a finished pass rusher, but his value as an early-down run defender is clear. He can occupy double teams, reset the line of scrimmage, and protect linebackers. Best Team Fits: The New York Giants make a lot of sense after trading Dexter Lawrence and needing to rebuild the interior defensive front. Houston also fits if it wants a physical early-down presence inside. Kansas City could be another landing spot if it prioritizes defensive line depth and run-game structure. 7. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 31 McNeil-Warren is a long, downhill, tone-setting safety with a defined NFL role. He thrives near the line of scrimmage as a box defender, robber, or split-safety trigger player. His anticipation, physicality, and urgency against the run give him immediate sub-package value. Best Team Fits: The Chicago Bears stand out as a natural fit after losing safety depth and needing more physicality on the back end. Cincinnati also makes sense if it wants a downhill defender who can play robber looks and help stabilize the middle of the field. 8. T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 32 Parker is a power-based edge defender with NFL-ready strength, violent hands, and strong edge-setting ability. He wins with leverage and force more than elite bend, but his ability to compress the pocket and play through contact gives him a clear Day 2 profile. Best Team Fits: Cleveland is a logical fit if it wants more edge depth and power opposite its primary rushers. New Orleans also makes sense given its need for defensive front help. Baltimore could value Parker’s toughness, physicality, and ability to play heavy downs in a multiple-front structure. 9. Lee Hunter, IDL, Texas Tech Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 36 Hunter is a massive, powerful interior defender built to control the A-gaps. He wins with leverage, heavy hands, and functional explosiveness off the snap. He is not a dynamic penetrator, but he can collapse the pocket with power and create structure for the rest of the front. Best Team Fits: Houston is one of the cleanest fits if it wants a high-floor interior anchor early on Day 2. The New York Giants also make sense as they continue reshaping the defensive line after the Dexter Lawrence trade. Hunter would give either team early-down mass and power inside. 10. Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 37 Moore is a power-based edge defender with starter traits built around leverage, leg drive, and speed-to-power conversion. His game is not built on elite first-step burst or corner flexibility, but he can collapse tackles into the pocket and win through physicality. Best Team Fits: Kansas City fits if it wants another edge/front player with power and inside-out flexibility. New Orleans is also a logical landing spot because of its need for defensive line help. Green Bay could be in play if it wants another strong-side edge who can set the edge and rush with force. 11. D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 38 Ponds is one of the most productive defensive backs still available, with seven interceptions and 32 pass breakups across his college career. The size profile will be the debate, but the instincts, route recognition, competitiveness, and ball production are legitimate Day 2 traits. He projects best as a high-impact nickel or versatile CB2 in a match-zone or off-man-heavy system. Best Team Fits: Miami, Kansas City, New Orleans, Detroit, and Dallas all make sense. Miami and Kansas City need immediate cornerback help, New Orleans remains active in the Day 2 corner market, Detroit could use more nickel flexibility, and Dallas hosted Ponds on a Top 30 visit. 12. Christen Miller, IDL, Georgia Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 39 Miller is one of the better developmental interior defensive linemen still available. He has the frame, first-step quickness, and active hands to play as a rotational 3-technique early, with the upside to become more impactful as his rush plan matures. The consistency is still developing, but the front versatility and physical profile are strong. Best Team Fits: Atlanta is the cleanest fit based on need and pre-draft engagement. The Falcons need more interior disruption and spent significant time on Miller during the process. The Giants, Packers, Broncos, and Bears also make sense as teams that could use defensive line depth and hybrid-front flexibility. 13. Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 41 Cisse is a traits-based corner with real movement upside. He brings speed, burst, fluidity, and vision in coverage. His ability to stay connected vertically and close on throws gives him one of the more intriguing ceilings among the remaining cornerbacks. He is not a finished press-man corner, but the athletic profile gives him starter upside with technical development. Best Team Fits: Seattle is the strongest team fit. The Seahawks have been heavily connected to Cisse and make sense if they want a long, explosive corner with developmental upside. Kansas City, Cleveland, Miami, and Green Bay also fit as teams that need more perimeter coverage depth. 14. A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 42 Haulcy has one of the strongest safety profiles left on the board. He brings experience, production, and alignment versatility with 44 career starts, 347 tackles, and 10 interceptions. At 215 pounds with 4.52 speed, he has the size and range to handle multiple safety roles. He can play deep, rotate down, cover the boundary, or function as a big nickel. Best Team Fits: Chicago is the best fit if the Bears want to replace lost safety production and add a reliable back-end defender. Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Carolina, Philadelphia, and Buffalo also make sense. Carolina and Buffalo both had notable pre-draft interest. 15. Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 43 Howell is one of the top remaining pass rushers on the Football Scout 365 board. He is slightly undersized, but he wins with twitch, urgency, leverage, and a diverse rush plan. His explosiveness and technical development give him a clear Day 2 profile as a stand-up rusher or hybrid edge in a multiple-front defense. Best Team Fits: Detroit, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and Miami are logical fits. Tampa Bay stands out as a strong connection, while Detroit and Arizona both make sense for a twitchy edge who can add pass-rush juice. Miami could also view Howell as one of the better edge values left. 16. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 44 Rodriguez is one of the most instinctive linebackers left on the board. He is undersized by traditional standards, but his processing, toughness, run fits, and turnover production are outstanding. Thirteen career forced fumbles, including seven last season, match the tape. He fits best as a MIKE/WILL in a 4-3 zone-match defense or hybrid 4-2-5 structure. Best Team Fits: Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Arizona all make sense. Cincinnati hosted Rodriguez on a Top 30 visit and has a clear need for more linebacker range and toughness. Tampa Bay is another strong fit because of his downhill instincts and defensive temperament. 17. Keionte Scott, CB, Miami Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 45 Scott is a scheme-specific nickel defender with legitimate playmaking ability. His value comes from versatility, blitz timing, downhill trigger ability, and sub-package impact. He is one of the most effective blitzing defensive backs in this class and brings real disruption from the slot. He is not a full-time outside corner, but he can be a valuable STAR, nickel, or hybrid box defender. Best Team Fits: Houston, Miami, Chicago, Washington, and Seattle all fit. Houston hosted Scott on a Top 30 visit and makes sense if it wants more slot pressure and sub-package versatility. Chicago and Washington also showed pre-draft interest and could use his nickel/box flexibility. 18. Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 47 Hill is the best athletic linebacker left on the board. His testing backs up the tape: 4.51 speed, 37-inch vertical, and 10’5” broad jump at 238 pounds. The production is also strong, with 249 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and eight forced fumbles. He is at his best attacking downhill, blitzing interior gaps, scraping to the perimeter, and closing with force. Best Team Fits: Jacksonville, the Rams, Cincinnati, and Buffalo all make sense. Jacksonville could use a rangy second-level defender. The Rams fit if they want more athleticism and blitz value. Cincinnati and Buffalo both have logical linebacker needs and could value Hill’s explosive profile. 19. Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 48 Abney is a strong processing corner with instincts, awareness, and ball production. He is not an elite athlete, but he sees routes develop quickly, communicates well, and plays with a “see ball, get ball” mentality in zone and off coverage. His best NFL fit is in Cover 3, match-zone, and off-man systems that protect him from excessive isolated press-man reps. Best Team Fits: Washington is one of the cleanest fits if Abney reaches Round 3. Carolina and Jacksonville also make sense as teams that could target value at corner later in the draft. His projection is more late Day 2 than early Round 2. 20. Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 49 Wheatley is a long, rangy safety with developmental upside. His best projection comes in two-high structures where he can play with vision, overlap routes, and use his range from depth. He still needs to become more consistent as a processor and tackler, but the length and coverage traits give him a path to an NFL role. Best Team Fits: Pittsburgh and New England are the top fits. Pittsburgh could target him later as a developmental safety with special teams value. New England hosted him on a Top 30 visit and could see him as a two-high developmental piece. 21. Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 51 Stukes is a versatile nickel/safety hybrid with explosive testing and sub-package value. His 4.33 speed and 10’10” broad jump show up in his downhill trigger and ability to close space. He is at his best playing with vision, matching routes, and creating disruption from the slot or big nickel alignment. Best Team Fits: Minnesota is a strong fit because of its safety need and schematic flexibility. Pittsburgh, the Rams, Arizona, and Atlanta also make sense. Arizona had notable pre-draft engagement, while the Rams fit because of Stukes’ nickel/safety versatility. 22. Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 52 Trotter is a physical, box-oriented linebacker with downhill temperament and tone-setting value against the run. He wins with toughness, contact balance, and the ability to trigger into interior gaps. The concern is the athletic profile in space, where hip stiffness and zone coverage limitations could create matchup issues at the next level. He projects best as an early-down MIKE or downhill run defender in a system that protects him from extended man coverage and allows him to play forward. Best Team Fits: Denver, the Rams, Cincinnati, and Dallas all make sense. Denver has been a frequent landing spot and needs more linebacker stability. The Rams could use second-level physicality. Cincinnati had notable pre-draft interest, and Dallas remains a logical fit given its linebacker need. 23. C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 53 Allen is one of the cleanest linebacker evaluations left on the board. He profiles as a three-down MIKE with strong processing, tackling efficiency, and communication skills. He is not the flashiest athlete in the class, but he wins with instincts, technique, and the ability to keep a defense organized. With only one linebacker selected in Round 1, Allen becomes one of the top second-level defenders available. He has the profile of an immediate floor-raiser for a defense that needs stability in the middle. Best Team Fits: Denver, Dallas, Buffalo, and Tampa Bay all fit. Denver has one of the clearest linebacker needs in this range. Dallas did not address the position in Round 1. Buffalo has long-term uncertainty at linebacker, and Tampa Bay could use another steady second-level presence. 24. Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 54 Golday is a big, explosive linebacker with a pass-rush background and tone-setting traits near the line of scrimmage. He has the tools to impact the run game, pressure interior gaps, and add value as a downhill attacker. The developmental question is processing consistency, particularly when asked to sort through misdirection and coverage spacing. He fits best in an aggressive front that lets him play downhill, blitz, and use his size-speed profile as a pressure piece. Best Team Fits: Cincinnati is the strongest fit based on need and pre-draft engagement. Indianapolis, the Rams, and Denver also make sense. The Colts need more linebacker range, the Rams could use an explosive second-level defender, and Denver remains firmly in the linebacker market. 25. Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh Football Scout 365 Overall Rank: 55 Louis is an athletic, coverage-capable linebacker with sub-package value. His best traits show up in space, where he can run, match, and operate as a WILL or rover type in a modern defensive structure. The frame and block deconstruction are the concerns, especially if teams ask him to consistently take on guards in the box. He projects best in a 4-2-5 or nickel-heavy defense that can use his range, coverage ability, and pursuit speed while limiting the number of direct interior collisions. Best Team Fits: Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta stand out. Tampa Bay could use a coverage-capable linebacker in sub-packages. Pittsburgh makes sense as a team that values physical, instinctive second-level defenders and could use more range. Atlanta fits if it wants a hybrid linebacker who can function in space within a 4-2-5 structure.

The 2026 NFL Draft is a needs-driven class with a lot of starter value throughout. Quarterback is not strong beyond the top two names, Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, and running back could dry up quickly after the Notre Dame duo of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price come off the board. But for teams looking for inside-outside offensive line versatility, edge rushers, versatile linebackers, and quality No. 2 and No. 3 wide receivers, this is the kind of draft where key needs can be addressed, and rosters can be strengthened. The trade market in this draft feels active, and we could see multiple deals before or during it, starting on Day 1. We already saw one major move the weekend before the draft, with the Giants sending defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for the 10th overall pick. There are also strong indications that the Cardinals could look to move back from their top-five spot, and the Cowboys at No. 12 stand out as one potential trade partner. Arizona has also been widely linked to Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, which only adds more intrigue to what they could do near the top of the board. In this final 2026 NFL Mock Draft, Football Scout 365 projects all 32 first-round picks using team needs, player evaluations, predictive mock draft trends, and league intel. Each selection also connects back to the new NFL Draft Hub, which features a full predictive mock draft, a Top 50 Big Board, written scouting reports, and individual player evaluation videos. The Final 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. Las Vegas Raiders Projected Pick: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana Why This Pick Fits: The Raiders are positioned to reset the franchise at quarterback, and Mendoza gives them a high-floor distributor with elite accuracy, anticipation, and poise from the pocket. Once quarterback is addressed, Las Vegas can use its strong early capital to build around him at wide receiver and defensive tackle. 2. New York Jets Projected Pick: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State Why This Pick Fits: Reese gives the Jets a true front-seven chess piece with the size, power, and versatility to impact the game as an off-ball linebacker and pressure defender. New York still has enough capital after this selection to circle back to wide receiver and quarterback depth. Note: The Jets could be a trade-back candidate for a team that loves David Bailey or Arvell Reese here. 3. Arizona Cardinals Projected Pick: David Bailey, ED, Texas Tech Why This Pick Fits: Arizona needs premium impact talent, and David Bailey gives the defense an explosive edge rusher with first-step burst, bend, and true finishing ability. Offensive line, quarterback, and safety remain major needs, but this adds a high-end disruptor to anchor the defensive reset. Note: Watch out for the Cardinals to be a team to trade back in this spot, especially if there is a team that loves David Bailey or Arvell Reese. 4. Tennessee Titans Projected Pick: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame Why This Pick Fits: Tennessee needs more difference-making talent around its young offensive core, and Jeremiyah Love gives the offense an explosive centerpiece with home-run speed, receiving upside, and every-down value. Edge, wide receiver, and center still remain priorities, but adding a dynamic weapon here helps raise the ceiling of the unit. Note: The theme in this year's top 10 could be to trade back and gain draft capital in this draft or the 2027 draft. The Titans are a candidate to do just that. Again, if a certain player is available here and a team is in love, the Titans could seek to capitalize. 5. New York Giants Projected Pick: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State Why This Pick Fits: The Giants need more size, range, and toughness in the middle of the defense, and Sonny Styles gives them a versatile front-seven defender who can impact the run game and create alignment flexibility. Defensive tackle, guard, and cornerback remain important, but this addition would help reshape the identity of the defense. Note: I can see the Giants going offensive line, but would they be willing to pass up on a talented premium player in this draft class to gain more draft capital? The Giants are on the radar as a possible trade-back candidate. 6. Cleveland Browns Projected Pick: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State Why This Pick Fits: Cleveland needs more reliability and polish on the perimeter, and Carnell Tate gives the offense a receiver with advanced route detail, strong body control, and consistent catch-point production. Wide receiver is one of the clearest roster needs, and this move gives the Browns a steady target while they continue addressing tackle and quarterback long term. Note: I believe this is a possible trade-back spot for the Browns. They could go offensive line, but will they do it in this spot? I like Spencer Fano or Monroe Freeling. If they stay here, they go premium pick. 7. Washington Commanders Projected Pick: Rueben Bain Jr., ED, Miami Why This Pick Fits: Washington needs more high-end disruption off the edge, and Rueben Bain Jr. gives the defense a powerful, polished pass rusher with every-down value. Cornerback and wide receiver remain important needs, but this adds a premium defensive piece to raise the ceiling of the front. Note: The Commanders could use more picks in the class to fill more holes, and they are a prime trade-back target for teams looking to move into position to grab a WR, or one of the top offensive linemen. In addition, if Bain, Bailey, or Styles were to fall, they could be in the perfect position. 8. New Orleans Saints Projected Pick: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Why This Pick Fits: New Orleans has several realistic paths here, but Jermod McCoy gives the defense a high-upside corner with press-man ability, recovery speed, and long-term CB1 traits. Wide receiver and edge remain strong options, but this adds a premium coverage piece to a secondary that needs more long-term stability. Note: I think the Saints are in a good spot, and they could pivot a lot of different ways to fill needs. They could snag a top WR here. I have seen some Jordyn Tyson mocks to the Saints. They could go with Delane or McCoy here at corner. 9. Kansas City Chiefs Projected Pick: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Why This Pick Fits: Kansas City can take the best available premium player here, and Spencer Fano gives the offense a high-floor tackle with starting versatility and long-term value. Edge, cornerback, and wide receiver remain clear needs, but this keeps the offensive line pipeline strong before the Chiefs pick again later in Round 1. Note: I went back and forth here with cornerback, WR or offensive line. I like Delane or McCoy in this spot, but the Chiefs are in a good spot to take the best available premium player here and then grab a need at the back end of round one. 10. New York Giants (via Cincinnati) Projected Pick: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Why This Pick Fits: The Giants now own two top-10 picks in this mock, giving them a chance to keep reshaping the roster with premium talent. After landing Sonny Styles earlier in the round, New York doubles down on defensive speed and versatility with Caleb Downs, one of the most instinctive and complete defenders in the class. 11. Miami Dolphins Projected Pick: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State Why This Pick Fits: Miami needs another high-end target in the passing game, and Jordyn Tyson gives the offense a polished, quarterback-friendly receiver with strong separation ability and catch-point consistency. Edge and cornerback still remain major needs, but this adds a needed playmaker to help structure the offense. Note: A lot of insiders believe Tyson could jump into the top 10 picks. Some speculate that the Giants are in contention, which is why they traded Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for the 10th overall pick. 12. Dallas Cowboys Projected Pick: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU Why This Pick Fits: Dallas still needs more long-term stability at cornerback, and Mansoor Delane gives the secondary a polished, scheme-versatile cover man with the movement skills, instincts, and competitive toughness to contribute early. Linebacker and edge remain important needs, but this adds a premium defensive piece to a cornerback room that still carries risk. Note: The Cowboys are in a spot where a trade-up could be possible. Speculation is that they really like David Bailey and Arvell Reese. They may have to part ways with picks 12 and 20 to get into the top 5. 13. Los Angeles Rams Projected Pick: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia Why This Pick Fits: The Rams need a long-term answer at right tackle, and Monroe Freeling gives them a traits-rich blocker with elite size, athleticism, and developmental starter upside. With Rob Havenstein retired and Warren McClendon in a contract year, this selection helps solidify an important long-term spot up front, while wide receiver and cornerback remain in play later. Note: Some believe Freeling has top-10 upside, and you can see it on tape. Many mocks have the Rams taking a WR here with the Puka Nacua off-field situation, but in this instance, I go tackle. 14. Baltimore Ravens Projected Pick: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State Why This Pick Fits: Baltimore needs to re-establish stability on the interior offensive line, and Olaivavega Ioane gives the unit a powerful, high-floor presence built for physical downhill football. Defensive tackle and wide receiver still matter, but this fills the clearest immediate need with a plug-and-play option. 15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Projected Pick: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Why This Pick Fits: Tampa Bay can add more offensive versatility here, and Kenyon Sadiq gives the unit a dynamic tight end with three-down value, explosive receiving ability, and alignment flexibility. Edge and linebacker remain major needs, but this adds a matchup piece who fits the offense’s use of multiple-tight-end looks. 16. New York Jets Projected Pick: Makai Lemon, WR, USC Why This Pick Fits: With a second first-round pick, the Jets are in position to come back and address wide receiver, and Makai Lemon gives the offense a polished, high-volume target with strong separation skills and reliable hands. Quarterback and edge still remain part of the long-term plan, but this adds another needed weapon opposite Garrett Wilson. Note: Makai Lemon is projected anywhere from pick 8 to pick 25 in mock drafts. I have mocked him in the top 10, and this would be my lowest for Lemon. This would be a massive get for the Jets, who I have mocked a WR in this spot a few times. 17. Detroit Lions Projected Pick: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami Why This Pick Fits: Detroit still needs to reinforce the offensive line, and Francis Mauigoa gives the roster a powerful, athletic tackle with Day 1 starter traits and long-term upside. Edge and cornerback remain important needs, but keeping the front strong is central to the Lions’ roster identity. Note: This is quite the fall for Mauigoa, but the fit would be perfect considering Dan Campbell mentioned a potential Penei Sewell transition to left tackle. I had Proctor here at one point. There are some rumors circulating about Mauigoa's health, so I am looking into that. If the rumors are false, he is unlikely to fall this far. 18. Minnesota Vikings Projected Pick: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon Why This Pick Fits: Minnesota has to address key transition points on the roster, and Dillon Thieneman gives the defense an instinctive, versatile safety with strong three-down value. Center and wide receiver still remain in play, but this adds a long-term answer in the secondary with immediate role flexibility. Note: I know, just like everyone else, I go with the Harrison Smith style safety. I have seen mocks with WR in this spot, and I have seen Kenyon Sadiq. 19. Carolina Panthers Projected Pick: Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana Why This Pick Fits: Carolina still needs another explosive playmaker in the passing game, and Omar Cooper Jr. gives the offense a compact, dynamic receiver with vertical juice and run-after-catch value. Safety and defensive line remain important needs, but this adds another needed weapon around the offense. 20. Dallas Cowboys Projected Pick: Akheem Mesidor, DL, Miami Why This Pick Fits: With a second first-round pick, Dallas can continue reinforcing the defense, and Akheem Mesidor gives the front a versatile pass rusher who can win outside or reduce inside. After adding Mansoor Delane at No. 12, this pick shifts the focus back to the defensive front while giving Dallas another disruptive piece with alignment flexibility. Note: I believe this is a spot a team like the Cardinals might look to move up to grab Ty Simpson. 21. Pittsburgh Steelers Projected Pick: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama Why This Pick Fits: Pittsburgh has a real need for more long-term stability at tackle, and Kadyn Proctor gives the offense a high-upside blocker with rare size, power, and starting-caliber traits. Wide receiver, interior offensive line, and safety still remain in play, but this adds a premium talent to one of the roster’s most important long-term spots. Note: I believe this is a spot a team like the Cardinals might look to move up to grab Ty Simpson. Who knows, maybe the Steelers are quietly interested in Simpson. 22. Los Angeles Chargers Projected Pick: Keldric Faulk, ED, Auburn Why This Pick Fits: The Chargers need more long-term depth on the edge, and Keldric Faulk gives the front a powerful, versatile defender with immediate rotational value and starter upside. Interior offensive line still remains the bigger roster need, but this is strong value at a premium position with expiring contracts creating urgency. Note: Faulk is projected to go anywhere between 12th and early day two, depending on the source. I think this is the sweet spot. 23. Philadelphia Eagles Projected Pick: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Why This Pick Fits: Philadelphia can add another big-bodied target to the passing game, and Denzel Boston gives the offense a physical boundary receiver with ball skills, catch-point toughness, and red-zone value. Edge, offensive line, and tight end remain important needs, but this adds a reliable perimeter option with starting upside. Note: The AJ Brown trade rumors are fueling this pick. 24. Cleveland Browns Projected Pick: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson Why This Pick Fits: Cleveland still needs a long-term answer at tackle, and Blake Miller gives the offensive line an experienced, starting-caliber blocker with the movement skills to develop into a steady presence up front. Wide receiver and quarterback remain major priorities, but this addresses one of the roster’s clearest needs with a premium position investment. 25. Chicago Bears Projected Pick: Kayden McDonald, IDL, Ohio State Why This Pick Fits: Chicago still needs more size and strength up front, and Kayden McDonald gives the defensive line a powerful interior presence with run-stopping value and long-term upside. Edge, safety, and center remain important needs, but this adds another needed piece to the front. 26. Buffalo Bills Projected Pick: T.J. Parker, ED, Clemson Why This Pick Fits: Buffalo needs a long-term edge presence opposite Greg Rousseau, and T.J. Parker gives the front a power-based rusher with strong hands, edge-setting ability, and starter upside. Linebacker and wide receiver remain important needs, but this addresses a premium position with a high-floor defender. 27. San Francisco 49ers Projected Pick: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State Why This Pick Fits: San Francisco still has long-term questions in the trenches, and Max Iheanachor gives the offense a traits-heavy tackle with movement skills that fit the scheme. Safety and edge remain in play, but this adds a high-upside offensive line piece with developmental starter potential. 28. Houston Texans Projected Pick: Peter Woods, IDL, Clemson Why This Pick Fits: Houston still needs more disruption on the interior, and Peter Woods gives the front an explosive defensive tackle with rare first-step quickness and one-gap penetration ability. Offensive line and cornerback depth remain important, but this adds a premium interior defender to pair with an already talented edge group. 29. Kansas City Chiefs Projected Pick: Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State Why This Pick Fits: With a second first-round pick, Kansas City can add more long-term stability in the secondary, and Chris Johnson gives the defense an instinctive, productive corner with strong ball skills and zone-match ability. Edge, wide receiver, and defensive tackle remain priorities, but this adds another coverage piece to a roster still built to contend. 30. Miami Dolphins Projected Pick: Malachi Lawrence, ED, UCF Why This Pick Fits: After addressing wide receiver earlier with Jordyn Tyson, Miami can turn back to the defensive front with Malachi Lawrence, an ascending edge rusher with prototypical size, length, and explosive get-off. Cornerback remains in play, but this gives the Dolphins another pressure piece with the rush polish and pro traits to develop into a consistent impact defender. Note: Miami's aggressive, blitz-heavy scheme under Hafley allows Lawrence to maximize his elite athleticism while developing his weaknesses in a rotational role. Lawrence is projected to go on day two, but he is quickly rising up draft boards. I also believe the Dolphins could trade back here and potentially get Lawrence early on day two. 31. New England Patriots Projected Pick: KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M Why This Pick Fits: New England needs more quick-separating talent in the passing game, and KC Concepcion gives the offense immediate burst, slot flexibility, and run-after-catch value. Offensive line and edge remain important needs, but this adds a quarterback-friendly target who can uncover quickly for an offense that needs more easy-access throws. Note: The Patriots have a clear trade-back opportunity in this mock. With the Cardinals and Jets sitting at picks 33 and 34, New England could move down a few spots and still land KC Concepcion or one of the top linebackers, such as Jacob Rodriguez. This feels like a realistic spot where a trade could happen. 32. Seattle Seahawks Projected Pick: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee Why This Pick Fits: Seattle could be tempted by running back here, but this spot also profiles as a realistic trade-back window. If the Seahawks stay put, Colton Hood gives them a competitive inside-outside corner with playmaking ability, physicality, and scheme versatility. He adds depth and long-term stability to a secondary built to contend. Note: The Super Bowl champs are being mocked to take an RB, EDGE, or CB here in some cases. All are valid needs. I can also see the Seahawks trading out of this spot, especially with teams like the Jets at No. 33 and Cardinals at No. 34 positioned to move up for Ty Simpson. Teams without a day one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft 41. Cincinnati Bengals Projected Pick: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech Why This Pick Fits: Cincinnati can use Day 2 to keep addressing the front seven, and Jacob Rodriguez gives the defense an instinctive, productive linebacker with strong range and playmaking ability. Defensive tackle, offensive tackle, and wide receiver still remain important needs, but this adds another active defender to the middle of the unit. 47. Indianapolis Colts Projected Pick: Derrick Moore, ED, Michigan Why This Pick Fits: Indianapolis still needs more juice off the edge, and Derrick Moore gives the front a power-based rusher with starting upside and strong developmental value. Linebacker and wide receiver remain important needs, but this adds another needed piece to a defense that is clearly prioritizing speed and disruption up front. 48. Atlanta Falcons Projected Pick: Christen Miller, IDL, Georgia Why This Pick Fits: Atlanta needs more size and power in the middle of the defense, and Christen Miller gives the front a disruptive interior presence with scheme versatility and strong run-defense value. Linebacker and wide receiver still remain important, but this helps reinforce the identity they are trying to build. 52. Green Bay Packers Projected Pick: Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State Why This Pick Fits: Green Bay still needs more long-term stability in the secondary, and Keith Abney II gives the defense an instinctive, competitive corner with scheme versatility and strong ball-production traits. Edge and offensive line depth still remain in play, but this adds needed competition to the back end. 56. Jacksonville Jaguars Projected Pick: Keionte Scott, CB, Miami Why This Pick Fits: Jacksonville still needs more speed and disruption on defense, and Keionte Scott gives the unit a versatile sub-package defender who can blitz, trigger downhill, and create energy in the secondary. Defensive tackle, edge, and linebacker remain the clearer needs, but this adds a movable defensive piece with immediate role value. 62. Denver Broncos Projected Pick: Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri Why This Pick Fits: Denver still needs more stability at linebacker, and Josiah Trotter gives the defense an instinctive downhill presence with strong run-game urgency and physicality. Tight end remains the bigger offensive need, but this adds a tone-setting front-seven piece to a defense that still needs second-level help.
