Arizona Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami |
|
Jonah Williams has issues staying healthy and could be upgraded. The Cardinals could use a long-term right tackle to pair with Paris Johnson.
Mauigoa was a star recruit and one of the top players in the nation. After choosing the Hurricanes, Mauigoa has been a starting tackle the past two seasons. The 6-foot-6, 315-pounder has a quality skill set with upside, but has not been dominant yet. Some team sources feel he might be better off moving inside to guard in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson |
|
The Vikings could use more cornerback talent.
Terrell has 22 tackles with two forced fumbles, a sack, and a pass batted. Terrell (5-11, 180) is a fast and fluid cover corner who is extremely adept at running the route to prevent separation. He has excellent ball skills, instincts, and plays bigger and stronger than his size. The size and future durability are the biggest concerns for the NFL. Terrell worked his way onto the field as a freshman and had five starts. He recorded 19 tackles with four passes broken up and an interception. In 2024, Terrell started every game and totaled 58 tackles with two interceptions, 12 passes broken up, three forced fumbles, and 4.5 tackles for a loss. Terrell is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

Cincinnati Bengals: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson |
|
The Bengals add some more young talent to their defensive line. Here’s a three-technique to go between Shemar Stewart and Kris Jenkins.
Woods had 15 tackles and a pass batted. Woods got his season off to a strong start against Georgia, and he has been disruptive for Clemson. In 2024, he had three sacks and 26 tackles. Woods (6-3, 315) has upside to be better in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon |
|
The Chiefs get their replacement for Travis Kelce.
Thus far in 2025, Sadiq has 15 catches for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Sadiq flashed in 2024 with 24 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Sadiq is a dangerous receiver, and he has athletic upside. Team sources are raving about Sadiq as a talent and mismatch weapon.

Dallas Cowboys: David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech |
|
The Cowboys take a young edge rusher to replace Micah Parsons.
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Bailey is a fast edge rusher. In 2024, he recorded 31 tackles with seven sacks and five forced fumbles with Stanford. Thus far in 2025, he has 3.5 sacks and eight tackles. Bailey was not impressive against Bailey could be a riser through the 2026 draft process.

Cleveland Browns: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee |
|
Greg Newsome is a free agent after this season, and Cleveland may need to devote money to other positions, given what they have already invested in Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett.
McCoy has yet to play in 2025, but his 2024 tape was so good that he could still be a first-round pick. The 6-foot, 190-pound McCoy had an excellent sophomore season with 44 tackles, four interceptions, and seven passes broken up. He played well in 2023 with 31 tackles, two interceptions, and seven breakups. McCoy is an instinctive corner with good ball skills and a willing tackler.

Seattle Seahawks: Nyck Harbor, WR, South Carolina |
|
The Seahawks could use more receiver talent to go with Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Harbor (6-5, 241) is a big receiver who has sprinter speed. For years, scouts have been talking him up to me as a prospect with an elite skill set. Perhaps 2025 will be the season where Harbor plays up to his potential. He has 10 receptions for 210 yards and a touchdown thus far. In 2024, Harbor had 26 catches for 376 yards and three scores.

Los Angeles Rams: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State |
|
The Rams could use more long-term starters at linebacker. Here’s an impact player for their defense.
Thus far in 2025, Reese has 20 tackles with two sacks and two passes broken up. Team sources feel that Reese is a special player as they like his instincts in combination with being big and athletic. At 6-foot-4. 238 pounds, Reese is a large linebacker with a versatile skill set. In 2024, Reese had 43 tackles with .5 sacks as a rotational backup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU |
|
The Bucs could use some young linebacker and edge rush talent. Lavonte David and Haason Reddick are not long-term starters anymore.
In 2025, Perkins has 19 tackles, two passes batted, and a sack. In 2024, Perkins had 16 tackles before suffering a season-ending injury early in the year. Perkins was a beast and was all over the field for LSU as a freshman in 2022, totaling 72 tackles, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one interception, and four passes batted. In 2023, Perkins recorded 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, 74 tackles, and four passes batted. The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder possesses a unique body type and is undersized as an edge defender, but there is no doubt about his explosive speed and tremendous instincts.

Indianapolis Colts: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama |
|
The Colts could more cornerback talent.
Jackson has 11 tackles thus far. In 2024, Jackson had 51 tackles with seven passes defended and two interceptions. Jackson (6-1, 190) has a good skill set and potential to rise. Jackson did not become the star he was expected to be at USC, but he could blossom at Alabama. He had 32 tackles with three passes defended in 2023.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU |
|
The Steelers grab their replacement for Aaron Rodgers.
Nussmeier has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,159 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions. He did a good job of leading his team from a halftime deficit to a tough road win at Clemson.
Nussmeier (6-2, 200) spent a few seasons as the backup to Jayden Daniels, but now he has taken advantage of the opportunity to start and has turned himself into a legit prospect for the NFL. Nussmeier completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,403 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. There is no doubt that Nussmeier has the arm talent to be a pro starter, as he has a powerful arm that has no issue going vertically downfield. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Nussmeier is getting good pro preparation from Brian Kelly, and Nussmeier looks like an early-round prospect for the 2025 or 2026 NFL Draft.

Detroit Lions: Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE, Penn State |
|
The Lions have Marcus Davenport and Josh Paschal entering free agency after this season, and they need more consistent pass-rushing production across from Aidan Hutchinson. Here’s an upgrade.
In 2025, Dennis-Sutton has 16 tackles with two sacks, two passes broken up, and two forced fumbles Dennis-Sutton (6-5, 272) is a big body at the point of attack, and he is a tough run defender. In 2024, he recorded 36 tackles, 6.5 sacks, three passes defended, and a forced fumble. He had 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2023. Dennis-Sutton is a good run defender who shows some variety in pass-rushing moves, some quickness to close, and is a tough presence to set the edge.

Los Angeles Chargers: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida |
|
The Chargers could use more young talent on their defensive line.
Banks has yet to play this season. In his second season with the Gators, Banks (6-6, 325) is a large interior defender who flashed some pass-rush ability in 2024. He recorded 4.5 sacks with 21 tackles, one forced fumble, and one pass defended. He had 19 tackles with a sack in 2023. Prior to that, Banks had two tackles with a sack while playing at Louisville. Banks has a good skill set with upside.

San Francisco 49ers: L.T. Overton, DT, Alabama |
|
The 49ers could use more young talent on the inside of the defensive line. Here’s a three technique to pair with Alfred Collins.
In 2025, Overton has six tackles and 1.5 sacks. Overton (6-5, 283) is a tough defender at the point of attack with height, length, quickness, and athleticism. In 2024, he totaled 42 tackles with two sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass defended.

Buffalo Bills: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M |
|
Obviously Tre White is not a long-term player. The Bills grab a corner to go with Maxwell Hairston and Christian Benford.
To open 2025, Lee has 21 tackles and two passes broken up. Lee is a tall corner with excellent length and size for the NFL. He could be a good fit as a press man corner. In 2024, Lee totaled 42 tackles with two interceptions, 10 passes broken up, and one forced fumble. He had 42 tackles with two picks and six breakups in 2023. If Lee shows speed to run deep with fast receivers and the twitch to handle quickness underneath, he could skyrocket.

Philadelphia Eagles: Drew Shelton, OT/G, Penn State |
|
Philadelphia grabs an understudy for Lane Johnson.
Shelton saw some action as a freshman, filling in for injured left tackle Olu Fashanu, and then was a rotational contributor who also logged time at guard and center. After Fashanu moved on to the NFL, Shelton took over at left tackle for the Nittany Lions in 2024. The 6-foot-5, 308-pounder had a strong close to the 2024 season and put together some impressive tapes to end the season. Shelton has athletic ability and is technically sound with patience. There could be some debate about whether he should be a guard or tackle in the NFL, depending on how he measures leading up to the draft.
