New York Jets: Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame |
|
The Jets could use more wide receiver talent.
Fields had 36 catches for 630 yards and five touchdowns. Fields (6-4, 223) is a big receiver and has been a solid contributor for the Irish. He is dangerous along the sideline to win on 50-50 catches and is a red zone weapon. In 2024, he had 55 catches for 808 yards and five scores. The previous season, he had 58 receptions for 811 yards with five touchdowns. Fields is a good boundary receiver with his size. He lacks some explosion, but is consistent in winning contested catches. He could be a safe day-two pick to develop into a solid starter.

Arizona Cardinals: Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama |
|
I could see Arizona trading back into the first round to land Simpson.
Simpson was very good in 2025, leading the Crimson Tide to big wins against tough opponents and advancing to the College Football Playoff. In 2025, Simpson completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,500 yards with 28 touchdowns, five interceptions, and two rushing touchdowns. Simpson showed serious arm talent, making beautiful downfield throws with superb ball placement to beat tight coverage. In tight games, Simpson made some great passes to lead his team to wins over Georgia and Missouri. However, he was not as good at the end of the season while playing with some injuries. Simpson is accurate, smart, has a strong arm, and throws with timing and anticipation. He also has great character, is intelligent, works hard, and loves football. Simpson showed superb ball security last season as well, with excellent decision-making. Teams that are not high on Simpson (6-1, 211) feel he lacks height, strength, was a one-year starter, and have durability concerns.
“He’s better than J.J. McCarthy, and his tape is a lot better than McCarthy’s was,” said an NFC assistant general manager. “There was a 3-4 game period where Ty’s tape was really good. Then other games where he is not high-end. I would say he is not elite, not a future high-level starter. Perhaps he could be in the winning starter category with good pieces around him.”
“I would say Ty is a better prospect than McCarthy, [Michael] Penix, and [Jaxson] Dart,” said an NFC general manager at the NFL Scouting Combine. “Ty lacks height, strength, and durability concerns with the lack of body armor.”

Tennessee Titans: Gabe Jacas, DE, Illinois |
|
The Titans have some edge rushers on short-term contracts and could use more long-term answers.
In 2025, Jacas had 11 sacks, three forced fumbles, one pass batted, and 43 tackles. Jacas (6-3, 275) played well for the Fighting Illini in 2024, providing an impact at the point of attack. In the ground game, Jacas has functional strength to hold his ground and get in on runs outside of his gap. Jacas is strong and quick in the pass rush, showing the ability to get after the quarterback as a versatile rusher. He had eight sacks, 74 tackles, and three forced fumbles in 2024.

Las Vegas Raiders: Kage Casey, OT, Boise State |
|
The Raiders badly need more blocking talent for Fernando Mendoza. Here’s a versatile blocker that could be a starter
Casey (6-5, 311) has been a solid left tackle for the Bronocs the past few seasons. Casey could be a starting right tackle, and he could also move inside to guard. Casey has the talent to start out as a backup that develops into being a starter.

|
New York Giants: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida |
|
The Giants could use a tackle upgrade next to Dexter Lawrence.
In 2025, Banks injured his foot in September and missed over two months. He had six tackles for the season, but Banks (6-6, 325) was excellent at the Senior Bowl. He is a quick interior pass rusher with the size and strength to defend the run. Banks is well-rounded, but gets in trouble when he stands up and plays too high. In his second season with the Gators, Banks showed his pass-rush ability in 2024. He recorded 4.5 sacks with 21 tackles, one forced fumble, and one pass defended. He had 19 tackles with a sack in 2023. Prior to that, Banks had two tackles with a sack while playing at Louisville. Banks has a good skill set with upside.

Houston Texans: C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia |
|
Houston could use more young linebacker talent. This is a great scheme fit for the Texans.
In 2025, Allen had 88 tackles with 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four passes broken up. Allen came on for the Bulldogs during the 2024 season and showed improvement throughout the season. In 2024, he totaled 76 tackles with an interception and four passes broken up. As a freshman in 2023, Allen had 41 tackles with two breakups. The 6-foot-1, 235-pounder is a smart linebacker with instincts, toughness, and versatility.

|
Cleveland Browns: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville |
|
Cleveland needs more receiving talent for whoever is their starting quarterback.
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.

Kansas City Chiefs: L.T. Overton, DT, Alabama |
|
The Chiefs add an interior rusher and understudy for Chris Jones.
In 2025, Overton had 40 tackles and four sacks. Overton (6-5, 283) is a tough defender at the point of attack with height, length, quickness, and athleticism. Overton is a versatile lineman with the ability to line up as a five-technique end and a three-technique tackle. In 2024, he totaled 42 tackles with two sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass defended.

Cincinnati Bengals: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo |
|
The Bengals could use more safety talent.
In 2025, McNeil-Warren had 77 tackles with two interceptions, three forced fumbles, and five passes defended. McNeil-Warren was a good player for the Rockets in 2024 and showed good tackling ability. He had 61 stops with an interception, four passes defended, and a forced fumble. He had four forced fumbles, two interceptions, three breakups, and 68 tackles in 2023. McNeil-Warren (6-2, 202) has a good skill set with size, speed, and athleticism. He could develop into a solid starter.

New Orleans Saints: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M |
|
The Saints add more young cornerback talent.
In 2025, Lee had 50 tackles, one interception, and eight passes broken up. Lee (6-0, 190) has solid size for the NFL. Some sources say he is tough and good in man coverage. In 2024, Lee totaled 42 tackles with two interceptions, 10 passes broken up, and one forced fumble. He had 42 tackles with two picks and six breakups in 2023.

Miami Dolphins: Gennings Dunker, OT/G, Iowa |
|
Miami grabs a right guard competitor who could also be a candidate to be the long-term right tackle.
Dunker looks like a day-two pick who could develop into a starter. Moving inside to guard could be his best fit. Dunker (6-5, 315) has quality size and strength and is a nasty run blocker. Dunker has power and physicality at the point of attack. He has some stiffness and limitations with his athleticism, quickness, and agility that make him look like a better fit at guard in the NFL.

|
New York Jets: Chase Bisontis, OT, Texas A&M |
|
The Jets could have some interior offensive line turnover in free agency. Here’s a long-term guard to go with their young tackles.
Bisontis (6-4, 320) is a power guard who creates movement at the point of attack. He is strong enough to knock back and drive back defenders to open holes in the tackle box. Bisontis lacks some length, and that gives him some issues in pass protection. He has starter ability, but could use some development as a pass blocker for the NFL. Bisontis was a two-year starter at guard and started at right tackle in 2023.

Baltimore Ravens: Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College |
|
Baltimore takes a blocker that could start out inside but be the eventual replacement for Ronnie Stanley.
The 6-foot-5, 309-pound Bowry was the starting left tackle for Boston College the past couple of seasons. Bowry is athletic, tough, and has upside. He could be a riser during the process.

|
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kyle Louis, OLB, Pittsburgh |
|
The Bucs add a linebacker with some similarities to Lavonte David.
In 2025, Louis had 79 tackles with three sacks, three passes defended, a forced fumble, and two interceptions. In 2024, Louis was a breakout star and one of the best linebackers in the nation as a sophomore. Louis was all over the field for the Panthers and made some clutch plays for his team. Louis was tremendous with 97 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, seven sacks, one forced fumble, four interceptions, and seven passes broken up. In pass coverage, Louis really stands out as a future contributor for the NFL. He is very smooth dropping in coverage and covers a lot of ground in zone. For the NFL, Louis (6-0, 225) is undersized, so he will need to work on taking on blocks, stacking, shedding, and getting on tackles. Given his size, that could be a persistent issue for him.

Indianapolis Colts: Drew Shelton, OT/G, Penn State |
|
The 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.

Atlanta Falcons: Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia |
|
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 the Bulldogs, stretching defenses with explosive speed downfield. Branch (5-10, 180) flashed with the Trojans in 2024 with 47 receptions for 503 yards and a touchdown. He lacks size, but is a shifty playmaker with burst as a route-runner and an ability to create separation.

|
Minnesota Vikings: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon |
|
The Vikings take a replacement for Harrison Smith.
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. He was a good run defender who made some nice plays in coverage as well. In 2024, he had 104 tackles with six passes broken up. The previous season, he had 106 tackles with six interceptions, two passes batted, and two forced fumbles.

Detroit Lions: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson |
|
The Lions need more edge rush talent across from Aidan Hutchinson.
In 2025, Parker had 37 tackles with five sacks and a pass broken up. Parker has had a breakout sophomore season for the Tigers, recording 57 tackles, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles in 2024. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound Parker has solid size and quality instincts. In his freshman season, Parker posted 5.5 sacks and 33 tackles.

Carolina Panthers: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas |
|
Carolina could use more linebacker youth.
Hill had 70 tackles with three forced fumbles, two interceptions, and a pass defended. Hill (6-3, 235) was impressive as a true freshman in 2023, and it looked like he was scratching the surface of his ability. He totaled 67 tackles with five sacks, one forced fumble, and two passes defended. In 2024, Hill had 113 tackles with eight sacks, one pass broken up, and an interception.

Green Bay Packers: Jake Slaughter, C, Florida |
|
Green Bay could use more interior offensive line talent and competition after losing Elgton Jenkins in free agency. Slaughter could helpt them at guard or center.
Slaughter (6-5, 300) has had some good games and has been a solid blocker in 2025. Slaughter has upside and has gotten better as he gained experience. At 6-foot-5, 300 pounds, Slaughter has quality size, strength, and athleticism. Slaughter took over as the starter for the Gators in 2023 and has been a reliable starter. Slaughter’s run blocking was ahead of his pass protection, but he has developed into a well-rounded player. On top of being able to play the middle, Slaughter has the ability to move to guard.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Jaylon Guilbeau, CB, Texas |
|
Pittsburgh could use more cornerback talent.
In 2025, Guilbeau had 40 tackles, one interception, and three passes broken up. Gulbeau demonstrated impressive coverage skills in 2024, consistently blanketing receivers to prevent them from getting open. In 2024, he had 58 tackles with three passes broken up. The 6-foot, 190-pounder has good size and upside to be better in 2025.

Philadelphia Eagles: Jaishawn Barham, LB, Michigan |
|
Philadelphia grabs some edge rush youth.
Barham had 32 tackles, four sacks, and four passes batted. In 2024, Barham (6-3, 248) had 66 tackles with one sack and two passes defended. In 2023, he had 37 tackles with three sacks, an interception, and one pass batted. Thus far, his best season was his freshman campaign, when he had 59 tackles with four sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass broken up.

Los Angeles Chargers: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech |
|
The Chargers could use some youth at linebacker.
In 2025, Rodriguez (6-1, 230) was one of the best defensive players in college football as he had a ton of big plays for the Red Raiders’ defense. Rodriguez totaled 128 tackles with seven forced fumbles, four interceptions, one sack, and six passes broken up. Rodriguez was a fantastic college player, but he could have some skill set limitations for the NFL. However, he is an instinctive playmaker, so those instincts could lead to him overcoming deficiencies in physical talent.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Darrell Jackson Jr., DT, Florida State |
|
The Jaguars could use more talent in the middle of their defensive line.
In 2025, Jackson had 44 tackles with one sack. In 2024, Jackson had a quality season for the Seminoles as one of the replacements for Braden Fiske. Jackson totaled 31 tackles with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble. His 2023 season was lost to NCAA transfer rules after Jackson left the Miami Hurricanes for the Seminoles. He had 27 tackles and three sacks in 2022. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Jackson is a large nose tackle who is tough against the run and shows an ability to push the pocket as a pass rusher.

Chicago Bears: Kamari Ramsey, S, USC |
|
Chicago takes more safety 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. With his speed and athleticism, Ramsey could fit as a free safety prospect for the NFL. Some team contacts are very high on Ramsey and his coverage skills.

San Francisco 49ers: Akheem Mesidor, DE, Miami |
|
The 49ers could grab some edge rush talent with their starters coming off injury.
In 2025, Mesidor had 63 tackles with 12.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. He has been a physical edge setter who has shown the ability to fight off blocks and get after the quarterback. In 2024, Mesidor had 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks. He had a good game against Florida and was active behind the line of scrimmage. He was also active against Florida State and Louisville. Mesidor (6-2, 281) was a consistent pass rusher for the Hurricanes in 2020-2022. In 2022, he had 38 tackles with seven sacks, one forced fumble, and four passes defended. The previous season, he had 4.5 sacks after totaling five sacks in 2020. In 2023, Mesidor only played two games before going out for the season with an injury. Mesidor lacks some height and length, but he is a quick and strong edge rusher.

Houston Texans: Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri |
|
Houston could use some young interior defensive line talent.
In 2025, McClellan had 48 tackles, six sacks, and two passes defended. He played well and was disruptive for the Tigers. In 2024, McClellan totaled 39 tackles with 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and two passes batted in his debut with the Tigers. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound McClellan has impressive quickness and athleticism for a big-bodied tackle.

Chicago Bears: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama |
|
Chicago takes a replacement for D.J. Moore.
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.

Los Angeles Rams: Keylon Rutledge, G, Georgia Tech |
|
Los 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: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU |
|
Denver could use more linebacker talent.
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.

New England Patriots: R. Mason Thomas, DE/OLB, Oklahoma |
|
The Patriots could use more edge rush talent. This is a great scheme fit.
Thomas is a fast edge rusher with serious speed off the edge. He shows some variety in moves and some functional strength to fight off blocks. In 2025, Thomas had 26 tackles with 6.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass batted while missing some time with injuries. In 2024, he totaled nine sacks with one forced fumble, one pass batted, and 23 tackles. The 6-foot-2, 249-pounder is undersized to be a defensive end in the NFL, so we will have to be an outside linebacker that moves to rush off the edge in the sub package.

Seattle Seahawks: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame |
|
The Seahawks get a replacement for Kenneth Walker.
In 2025, Price averaged six yards per carry for 674 yards with 11 touchdowns. He had six catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. He was also a dynamic kick returner with two returns for touchdowns. Price would have been a starter at most schools, but at Notre Dame, he was stuck behind Jeremiyah Love. Price is a tough runner with speed, good instincts, and elusiveness. In 2024, Price averaged 6.2 yards per carry for 746 yards with seven touchdowns. Price has the speed to break off long runs, power to get yards after contact, and good vision and instincts. He could be a very good starter in the NFL.
