New York Giants: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida |
|
The Giants could use a tackle upgrade next to Dexter Lawrence. Here is the final piece to finish off a tremendous defensive line.
Banks injured his foot in September and missed over two months. He has three tackles in 2025.

Cleveland needs multiple offensive line upgrades. Here’s a right tackle to replace the aging and declining Jack Conklin.

He had 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns. Lemon contributed 52 receptions for 764 yards and three touchdowns to the Trojans’ offense in 2024. For the NFL, he might fit best as a slot receiver.

Rd: 1 Pk: 6 | Rd: 1 Pk: 24The Chiefs could use more defensive line talent.

In 2025, Ramsey had 27 tackles and two passes defended. Ramsey played well for the Trojans in 2024, totaling 60 tackles with an interception, five passes defended, and two forced fumbles.

Rd: 1 Pk: 10The Saints add a mismatch receiver for their young quarterback.
Bernard played well in 2025, coming up with some clutch plays for Alabama. He had 64 catches for 862 yards and seven touchdowns. Bernard played well in 2024, with 50 catches for 794 yards and two touchdowns. Bernard has the upside to produce more in 2025. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder has solid size, speed, and athleticism. While Bernard might not become a true No. 1, he could be a solid No. 2 and capable NFL starter.

Rd: 1 Pk: 8The Dolphins need more cornerback talent.
Hood had a strong 2025 season for Tennessee, recording 50 tackles with one interception, eight passes broken up, and one forced fumble.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson |
|

Rd: 1 Pk: 15The Colts could add to their offensive line with an option to play tackle or guard.
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 gifted. There could be some debate about whether he should be a guard or tackle in the NFL. He could be a candidate to move from left tackle to the right side as well.
The Falcons could use more wide receiver talent to pair with Drake London.
In 2025, Branch had 81 receptions for 811 yards and six touchdowns. He showed big play ability with explosive speed to test defenses downfield. Branch (5-10, 180) flashed with the Bulldogs in 2024 with 47 receptions for 503 yards and a touchdown. He was capable of producing more, but Georgia dealt with streaky quarterback play with Carson Beck.

Rd: 1 Pk: 18The Lions grab a true replacement for Frank Ragnow.

Rd: 1 Pk: 19Green Bay really missed Kenny Clark and the Packers need more defensive tackle talent.
In his first season with the Red Raiders, Hunter totaled 41 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 2025. He was excellent in the playoff loss to Oregon. Hunter is quick off the ball with surprising speed and athleticism for a heavy nose tackle. He also has the power to shed, and plays hard. He had 44 tackles with one sack in 2024 and 69 tackles with three sacks in 2023. Hunter is a big tackle and gap filler at the point of attack.

Pittsburgh could use more cornerback talent.
In 2025, Guilbeau had 40 tackles, one interception, and three passes broken up.

Philadelphia Eagles: Isaiah World, OT, Oregon |
|
Philadelphia grabs some offensive line youth.
The 6-foot-8, 309-pounder World dominated at Nevada, and has played well at Oregon in 2025. As a pass blocker, World has a natural build with good size, strength, and length to play on the edge. He does a nice job of sinking his weight to stop bull rushes, and he shows an impressive ability to kill speed to power attempts. World does an excellent job of sustaining his blocks with the upper body strength to tie up defenders. In the ground game, World uses his strong upper body to knock defenders back and manipulate them. He has some power at the point of attack and blocks with a mean streak. With overwhelming mass, he can knock defenders flat on their backs and will bury them with a violent pancake block. World needs some development, but the potential is there for him to be developed.

In 2025, Thieneman had 92 tackles with five passes batted and two interceptions for the Ducks. Thieneman (6-0, 207) was a tough safety for Purdue over the previous two seasons.

The previous season, he had 106 tackles with six interceptions, two passes batted, and two forced fumbles.

Chicago Bears: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama |
|

In 2024, Jackson had 51 tackles with seven passes defended and two interceptions. 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.

San Francisco 49ers: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville |
|
With Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk done in San Francisco, the 49ers could use more wide receiver talent for Brock Purdy.
In 2025, Bell was superb for the Cardinals, recording 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns. He was huge in leading a win over Miami, but Bell unfortunately suffered a late-season ACL tear. Bell (6-2, 220) was a solid receiver for the Cardinals in 2024, catching 43 passes for 737 yards and four touchdowns. With a strong build, Bell is physical and tough, but he also has good speed and runs well for a thick-built receiver. He is dangerous after the catch and looks like a reliable possession receiver for the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 27Houston adds an edge rusher to rotate and an understudy for Danielle Hunter.
In 2025, Dennis-Sutton had 42 tackles with 8.5 sacks, three passes broken up, three forced fumbles, and a blocked punt. 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.

Rd: 1 Pk: 26Los Angeles could use some youth at linebacker.
Rutledge is a bit of a love/hate prospect with team evaluators. Some see him as a second-round pick while others have him as a mid-rounder. Rutledge had a quality 2025 season for the Yellow Jackets, showing strength at the point of attack. At 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Rutledge has a thick frame with some strength to contribute to the ground game.

Denver Broncos: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson |
|
Denver adds some young receiver talent.
Williams had 55 receptions for 604 yards and four touchdowns. Williams flashed playmaking ability for the Tigers in 2024 with 75 catches for 904 yards and 11 touchdowns. Williams (5-11, 190) has enough size and some natural talent as a route-runner.

Seattle Seahawks: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU |
|
The Seahawks could add more linebacker youth.
Perkins had 55 tackles, three passes batted, four sacks, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. 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.
