He also has two rushing touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has a strong arm and is athletic with running ability for the NFL.

Las Vegas did a poor job of adding receiving weapons the past couple of offseasons under general manager John Spytek. The Raiders badly need a true No. 1 receiver for Fernando Mendoza.

In 2025, Smith caught 87 passes for 1,243 yards and 12 touchdowns. Smith (6-3, 215) took college football by storm as a freshman, and he dominated for the Buckeyes.

The Cardinals add their future starter.

Moore has been a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore has completed 73 percent of his passes for 3,280 yards with 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore (6-3, 203) is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend.

The Dolphins land an edge rusher to form a tandem with Chop Robinson.

In 2025, Stewart had 33 tackles, 4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two passes defended. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Stewart was superb for the Gamecocks in 2024. As a freshman, he was an immediate impact player, totaling 6.5 sacks with three forced fumbles, one pass batted, and 23 tackles. Stewart has a lot of potential to develop.

The Jets grab their quarterback of the future.

Mateer completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and eight rushing touchdowns. For the NFL, Mateer looks like a starter who could be a very dangerous signal-caller. Mateer (6-1, 224) is an accurate passer with excellent ball placement overall. He has a few throws get away from him, but Mateer has impressive precision as a passer. Mateer is very mobile in the pocket and can hurt defenses on the ground. As a passer, Mateer is similar to Baker Mayfield, but Mateer is a better athlete and more dangerous with his feet.

Mateer played well for Washington State in 2024 and impressed in his first year as a starter. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,139 yards with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mateer has some mobility and is a gritty competitor. Some team sources have compared Mateer to former Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield.

John Harbaugh passed on the Giants helping Jaxson Dart with a mismatch weapon in the 2026 NFL Draft. Teams will send a lot of extra coverage to limit Malik Nabers, and Dart needs more playmakers to work with.

Coleman entered the transfer portal and will play with Texas in 2026. In 2025, Coleman had 56 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns with Auburn. While other freshman receivers got more attention, Coleman (6-3, 197) flashed tremendous ability with size, speed, and athleticism. He caught 37 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns in his debut. If Auburn can give Coleman more consistent quarterback play, he could explode as a sophomore or junior.

The Bears add an elite cover corner to help them defend the dynamic receivers in their division.

Moore has dealt with injuries but has played well in 2025. He had 31 tackles with five interceptions and seven passes defended. With Benjamin Morrison hurt, Moore was phenomenal in 2024, helping the Fighting Irish reach the National Championship. He totaled 48 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 11 passes broken up. Moore (6-2, 195) has an excellent skill set with size, speed, athleticism, and is a natural football player.

Depending on how the young edge rushers play this year, Carolina could use more young talent at edge rusher and linebacker.

In 2025, Simmons had 43 tackles, 12 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two passes broken up. In 2024, Simmons had an excellent debut for Texas and showed serious pass-rush ability with nine sacks. He also had three forced fumbles, 48 tackles, two passes defended, and one interception. Simmons (6-3, 245) has upside and could be even better after gaining experience.

The Cowboys may not keep George Pickens in the long-term. Here’s a big receiver with upside to go with CeeDee Lamb.

Marsh was highly targeted in the transfer portal, and Indiana won the bidding war to add him to their 2026 roster. In 2025, Marsh had 59 receptions for 662 yards with six touchdowns with Michigan State. The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Marsh is very talented and has a ton of upside.

The Titans grab some edge rush youth to go with Keldric Faulk.

The 6-foot-3, 248-pound Pierre has been a tough defender for the Crimson Tide in 2025. He has been a dangerous edge rusher with speed and physicality to push through blocks. In 2025, Pierre had 52 tackles with eight sacks, three forced fumbles, and one pass batted. He is an ascending player with a ton of upside.

Tampa Bay could be headed for a franchise makeover, and Baker Mayfield is nearing the end of his contract. They could start a rebuild with a new quarterback as soon as next offseason.

In 2025, Iamaleava has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had four scores on the ground. In 2024, Iamaleava had an excellent debut as a freshman with Tennessee. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Steelers take a quarterback of the future.

Sellers completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing, and some yardage on the ground. He has been inconsistent, with some flashes of amazing passes and then missing some completions that he must complete for the NFL. In terms of his development as a football player, he probably should go back to college in 2026, but most players don’t think that way.

Sellers (6-3, 242) has a big-time skill set and could be a special quarterback. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. Sellers is a true dual-threat quarterback with dangerous running ability and impressive arm talent. With a cannon for an arm, Sellers can push the ball to all levels of the field with ease. His mobility, athleticism, escapability, and creativity to ad lib his team into a big play are very desirable to pro teams.

The Jets add a potential No. 1 corner to replace Sauce Gardner.

In 2025, Robinson had a breakout season for the Bulldogs, playing as an effective cover corner. Robinson totaled four interceptions, seven passes broken up, and 20 tackles. Robinson (6-0, 180) could stand to fill out his frame to help him battle pro receivers.

In 2025, Baugh averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,170 yards with eight touchdowns. He has 33 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Baugh flashed serious running ability for the Gators in 2024 as a freshman. While other backs got more carries, Baugh showed a dangerous burst and power to get yards after contact. Baugh averaged 5.1 yards per carry for 673 yards and seven touchdowns. He had four catches for 33 yards and a score. Baugh could explode if the Gators make him their feature back.

In the next year or two, the Patriots might want some long-term talent at linebacker.

In 2025, Brown had 106 tackles with five sacks, one forced fumble, an interception, and five passes broken up. Brown impressed in 2024 with 80 tackles, five sacks, and three passes broken up. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder has good instincts.
