NFL Team Logo for 49ers San Francisco 49ers: Isaiah World, OT, Oregon Image for ORE

It sounds like the 49ers were hoping Kelvin Banks would fall to them. They need a long-term left tackle once Trent Williams retires.

Isaiah World is a lengthy tackle with good power.

Pick change; previously Francis Mauigoa, OT

NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Image for

The Texans need to make sure that C.J. Stroud’s blocking is as good as possible.

Spencer Fano needs to fill out his frame, but he was stationed at left tackle as a freshman.

NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Amare Farrell, CB, Indiana Image for IND

Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay are obviously short-term solutions at cornerback.

Amare Farrell has good size and ball skills.

NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU Image for LSU

The Buccaneers really need to improve their pass rush if they don’t want to be shredded by Michael Penix Jr.

Harold Perkins is a beast who broke on to the scene with 7.5 sacks as a freshman. He’s an explosive player with tremendous instincts.

Pick change; previously Francis Mauigoa, OT

NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State Image for PSU

The Broncos missed out on all the top running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft, so they could address this position early in 2026 if R.J. Harvey disappoints.

Nicholas Singleton is a dynamic back who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball.

NFL Team Logo for Lions Detroit Lions: Drew Shelton, OT/G, Penn State Image for PSU

The Lions suddenly have a very shaky interior line. They need help at guard and center.

Drew Shelton is an athletic lineman who has played every position at Penn State.

NFL Team Logo for Vikings Minnesota Vikings: Javon Kilgore, CB/S, South Carolina Image for

The Vikings could stand to improve at cornerback, so that position must be addressed soon.

Javon Kilgore is tall and thickly built. He picked off five passes this past season.

NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Earnest Greene III, OT, Georgia Image for UGA

Rob Havenstein is an impending free agent following the 2025 season, so the Rams may need to find a new right tackle.

Earnest Greene is a massive right tackle and a powerful run blocker.

NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: Jaylon Guilbeau, CB, Texas Image for Tex

The Chargers have a weak group of cornerbacks that must be addressed.

Jaylon Guilbeau displayed terrific coverage ability.

NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami Image for MIA

The Chiefs might be jealous of the pass rush the Eagles were able to generate against them in the Super Bowl.

Rueben Bain was very productive as a freshman and has a ton of upside.

Pick change; previously Tyreak Sapp, DE

NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami Image for MIA

If Tyler Guyton continues to play like a bust, the Cowboys will need to find a new tackle.

Francis Mauigoa has immense upside as a potential left tackle in the NFL. His brother was just drafted in the fifth round.

Pick change; previously Tyreak Sapp, DE

NFL Team Logo for Commanders Washington Commanders: Kenyatta Jackson, DE, Ohio State Image for OSU

The Redskins put together a strong draft class, but the one thing they failed to do was acquire an edge rusher.

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

Pick change; previously Harold Perkins, DE

NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson Image for Clem

Here’s another receiver for the Bills in case their current group doesn’t perform well.

Antonio Williams has excellent play-making ability and quality route-running skills.

NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson Image for Clem

The Eagles may have to replace Lane Johnson soon, so they may use this pick to do that.

Blake Miller is a good athlete with plus quickness. He needs to get stronger for the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU Image for LSU

The Ravens signed Jaire Alexander and Chidobe Awuzie, but they need a long-term solution at cornerback.

Mansoor Delane is very instinctive with nice size.
