Also, if you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

The Raiders will need to replace Maxx Crosby in the near future.

Damon Wilson has great speed off the edge.

The Jets drafted a cornerback in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but they still need one more talented player at the position.

Jamari Sharpe is a tall and lengthy cornerback with great speed. He hasn’t produced turnovers, but is a sure tackler.

The Titans need to continue to upgrade every level of their poor defense.

Ben Roberts is an extemely instinctive linebacker and a team captain. He’s a sure tackler with no true weaknesses.

The Cardinals failed to acquire a much-needed right tackle. They need to protect their new quarterback.

Austin Siereveld is a strong right tackle prospect, but his arm length could ding him. He’s a bit raw.

The Falcons need a replacement for the retired Kaleb McGary.

Andrew Sprague is a big and lengthy tackle with plus athleticism. His pass protection is ahead of his run blocking.

The Browns could use a bookend for Myles Garrett and an eventual replacement for the future Hall of Famer.

Jordan Ross is an athletic, lengthy pass rusher, but must get stronger and fill out his frame.

The Steelers have a bunch of mediocre running back, so they could look into acquiring a permanent solution at the position.

Nate Frazier runs with blazing 4.3 speed and does a great job of breaking through tackles. He needs to improve his pass protection and ball security.

The Giants failed to add a receiver in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, so they could do that with this pick.

Mario Craver is a small receiver who needs to get stronger, but has extremely explosive ability.

The Buccaneers needed a cornerback even before Jamel Dean left for Pittsburgh.

A.J. Harris is a tall cornerback with great coverage skills, but misses some tackles and has been penalized too often.

The Panthers may want to upgrade Chuba Hubbard at some point in the near future.

Jadan Baugh has great burst and ability to get yards after contact.

The Colts have a weakness at safety they’ll need to address in the near future.

Rod Moore is a versatile safety with nice ball skills. He’s very fast, but has a torn ACL in his past.

You can’t count on Kyler Murray to remain healthy, so the Vikings could be in the market for a new quarterback next offseason.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

The Packers lost a couple of receivers lately, so they could be looking to replenish talent at the position, especially if Christian Watson continues to suffer injuries.

T.J. Moore is a huge receiver with great play-making ability. Some coaches will have issues with his poor blocking and ball security.

Travis Kelce could be retired heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.

Terrance Carter is a great receiver who runs routes well and can make big plays after the catch, but his height and blocking ability are both negatives.

The Redskins can continue to bolster their weak defensive line to give them a chance at stopping the Cowboys and Eagles offenses.

Will Echoles has a good blend of quickness, athleticism, and strength.

Sonny Styles would’ve been the pick for Dallas had he been available. Linebacker continues to be a huge weakness.

Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa thrives in both run support and pass coverage, but has two torn ACLs in his injury history.

Mike McGlinchey is entering his contract year and is in his 30s, so the Broncos may be looking for a new tackle.

Anthonie Knapp is a nasty, powerful blocker, but has some issues in pass protection.

The Saints may want to add a running back to pair with Travis Etienne, or one to replace him if he struggles like he did prior to 2025.

Ahmad Hardy breaks through tackles with ease and possesses great vision. He’s definitely not a very fast running back though.

The Bears failed to draft an edge rusher, so they’ll need to make amends for that in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Kenyatta Jackson has a huge frame with plenty of upside. He has a solid skill set.

The Bengals need to continue to bolster every level of their poor defense.

Jay’Vion Cole is an instinctive cornerback with great ball-hawking ability, but he’s short and very light. He also misses lots of tackles.

The Texans were expected to address offensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they traded out of the first round instead.

Carter Smith is a very strong run blocker, but hi pas protection can be an issue, especially with his limited arm length.

Travis Hunter is moving to cornerback, while Brian Thomas Jr. could be traded soon.

Brandon Staley has blazing low 4.3 speed and game-breaking ability, but drops too many passes.

The Lions signed Cade Mays to replace Frank Ragnow. Here’s a long-term replacement.

Joe Otting is a great athlete for a center, but he’s raw and needs to improve his technique.

Lane Johnson will retire soon, so the Eagles will need to find a successor.

Trinidad Chambliss is a small quarterback, but he can make plenty of plays with his quality arm and mobility.

The Patriots spent a first-round pick on a guard the past two years. Here’s a second-round pick on a guard to bolster the interior blocking.

Evan Tengesdahl is a solid run blocker. He has to improve in pass protection.

The 49ers will have to find a future replacement for Trent Williams.

Xavier Chaplin has massive size and length, but is stiff and lacks technique.

The Ravens have been looking for a solid No. 2 receiver across from Zay Flowers for quite some time.

Ian Strong is a massive receiver and a major red zone threat. Speed is a concern, as is his route-running ability.

Quentin Johnston’s contract will expire soon, so here’s a replacement if he departs.

Bryant Wesco has plus height and great speed with great play-making ability, but he drops too many passes. He also needs to bulk up for the NFL.

The Seahawks can always stand to add talent to their defensive line, given that they need to beat the Rams.

Jayden Jackson is a surprisingly fast mover for a big nose tackle. He’s much better in run support than he is in the pass rush.

D.J. Moore was added, but the Bills could use another receiver to go along with him and Khalil Shakir.

Mike Matthews has plus size and speed. However, he’ll frustrate coaches with his frequent drops and poor blocking.

Rob Havenstein is gone, while Alaric Jackson is someone who gets injured often.

Trevor Goosby is a phenomenal athlete who can take care of speed rushers. He needs to get stronger for run blocking.
