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

Austin Barber was inconsistent to start his collegiate career, but the upside is apparent.

Jake Matthews might be heading into retirement by the time the 2026 NFL Draft occurs.

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

The Vikings are really hurting at cornerback, so that position must be addressed soon.

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

Tyreek Hill may not be around much longer. Perhaps he’ll retire early to spend time with the family.

Aaron Anderson is undersized, but possesses blazing speed.

Jacksonville has severe issues stopping the pass, so cornerback must be upgraded.

Amare Farrell has good size and ball skills.

Josh Jacobs said it: The Packers need to find a No. 1 receiver to take their offense to the next level.

Germie Bernard looks to be the next great Alabama receiver in the pros with his nice size and upside.

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.

If the Broncos watched the Super Bowl, they saw how to beat Patrick Mahomes. You can never have enough pass rushers.

Mateo Uiagalelei has great size, strength, and athleticism. He’s been very productive at Oregon.

The Redskins could use a better right tackle in the present and a left tackle to eventually replace Laremy Tunsil down the road.

Elijah Pritchett is an athletic tackle with major upside.

The 49ers need some serious help in the interior of their offensive line.

Ipani Laloulu can play both center and guard in the NFL.

The Texans looked so strong at receiver heading into the 2024 season. Much has changed in just one year.

Carnell Tate didn’t do much as a freshman, but he could certainly break out soon.

The Lions could stand to add another weapon to a receiving corps with just two viable threats.

Deion Burks is small, but has terrific play-making ability.

The Bengals have severe issues throughout their defense, so taking the best player on that side of the ball makes sense.

Daniel Harris is a huge cornerback with plenty of upside.

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

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.

The Eagles lost Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham, so they could be interested in an early-round edge rusher in the near future.

Tyreak Sapp projects as a left end in the NFL. He has potential to be an impact player.
