New York Jets: Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech |
|
The Jets take more defensive line talent to help replace Quinnen Williams.
Last 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. Hunter was at Auburn in 2021 before playing three seasons at UCF prior to finishing with Texas Tech.

Buffalo Bills: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State |
|
TRADE! I have Buffalo trading down with Arizona and the Cardinals taking Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. The Bills traded away a second-round pick for D.J. Moore, so Buffalo is a prime candidate to move down. The Bills lost David Edwards in free agency and could use more offensive line talent to protect Josh Allen.
Iheanachor was starting at right tackle for Arizona State and was a solid blocker for the Sun Devils. The 6-foot-6, 330-pounder is a power run blocker who is nasty at the point of attack. He is long, strong, and bullies defenders. Iheanachor needs to improve and develop his pass protection for the NFL. He has issues with fast edge rushers who have the ability to bend. Iheanachor has the talent to block on the edge, but he is inconsistent and needs development.

|
Tennessee Titans: Zion Young, DE, Missouri |
|
The Titans have some edge rushers on short-term contracts and could use more long-term answers.
Young had 42 tackles with 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes batted, and was among the nation’s leaders in pressures. In 2024, Young had 41 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Young has good size, length, and upside to develop. While Young has good size, he is also quick to close and shows good instincts as a rusher. Young could be a riser throughout the 2026 draft process.

|
Las Vegas Raiders: Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana |
|
The Raiders need multiple receivers for Fernando Mendoza. Here’s a familiar face to help him transition to the pro game.
In 2025, Cooper had 69 catches for 937 yards with 13 touchdowns. Cooper had two catches for 52 yards to open the 2025 season. In 2024, Cooper had 28 catches for 594 yards and seven touchdowns. He was a shifty and dangerous receiver for the Hoosiers in his final season, showing the quickness to get open and create separation. Cooper (6-0, 199) is as well-rounded receiver with starting potential.

|
New York Giants: Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M |
|
The Giants add more interior offensive line talent..
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.

|
Houston Texans: Cashius Howell, DE, Texas A&M |
|
Houston grab some edge rush rotational talent.
In 2025, Howell had 11.5 sacks, one forced fumble, 31 tackles with six passes batted. The 6-foot-2, 248-pound Howell is fast off the edge with a repertoire of pass-rushing moves. Howell’s size might make him an odd fit as a linebacker/defensive end, but his production of getting after the quarterback is going to make him an early-round pick next April.

|
Cleveland Browns: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson |
|
Cleveland could use more edge rush talent across from Myles Garrett.
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.

|
Kansas City Chiefs: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida |
|
The Chiefs add an interior rusher and understudy for Chris Jones.
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.

|
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: Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame |
|
The Saints need more 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.

|
Miami Dolphins: Christian Miller, DT, Georgia |
|
Miami takes more defensive line talent.
In 2025, Miller had 23 tackles and 1.5 sacks. He has some talent, but has not produced much on the field. In 2024, he had 27 tackles with 1.5 sacks. Miller (6-4, 305) has a nice skill set, but never produced up to it in college.

|
New York Jets: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State |
|
The Jets grab a big outside receiver to pair with Garrett Wilson and A.D. Mitchell.
In his final season, Hurst caught 71 passes for 1,004 yards with six touchdowns. After the season, Hurst had a good week of practice at the Senior Bowl and worked out well at the NFL Scouting Combine. For the NFL, Hurst is a big receiver with speed to stretch defenses vertically. Hurst has easy, straight-line acceleration to stretch defenses vertically and challenge them downfield. With his big size, Hurst is dangerous on back shoulder throws and gives his quarterback a big target with a large catch radius. The 6-foot-4, 206-pounder has a lot of upside to develop.

|
Baltimore Ravens: Gennings Dunker, OT/G, Iowa |
|
Baltimore grabs a guard who also provides some depth at 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.

|
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas |
|
The Bucs need some linebacker youth, and Hill could be a plug-and-play starter next to Alex Anzalone.
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.

|
Indianapolis Colts: Malachi Lawrence, DE, Central Florida |
|
The Colts could stand to add to their offensive line with an option to play tackle or guard.
Lawrence is a fast and physical edge rusher with upside to develop with pro coaching. Lawrence had a strong senior season with 28 tackles, seven sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes batted. The 6-foot-4, 253-pounder could be a solid second-round pick.

|
Atlanta Falcons: Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern |
|
The Falcons grab an understudy for Jake Matthews.
The 6-foot-7, 325-pound Tiernan started at left tackle the past two seasons for the Wildcats after starting at right tackle as a sophomore. Tiernan is a tall, long tackle who could also move inside to guard in the NFL. He is strong at the point of attack with the ability to tie up defenders. Tiernan has the talent to start out as a backup and rise into being a starter.

Rd: 3 Pk: 15 | Rd: 4 Pk: 22 | Rd: 6 Pk: 34 | Rd: 7 Pk: 15| 49. |
|
Minnesota Vikings: Derrick Moore, DE, Michigan |
|
The Vikings could draft more edge rush talent as Jon Greenard may not be a long-term Viking.
Moore was a productive edge rusher for the Wolverines in 2025, putting some good pressure on the quarterback. Moore totaled 10 sacks with 30 tackles, two forced fumbles, and three passes defended. He had four sacks in 2024 and five sacks in 2025. For the NFL, Moore (6-3, 260) is undersized, so he could be a rotational designated pass rusher to start out his career.

|
Detroit Lions: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee |
|
The Lions take a risk on McCoy, but he could be the No.1 corner Detroit badly needs.
McCoy did not play in 2025, coming off a torn ACL, but his 2024 tape was so good that he could still be a first-round pick. The 6-foot, 190-pound McCoy had an excellent sophomore season with 44 tackles, four interceptions, and seven passes broken up. He played well in 2023 with 31 tackles, two interceptions, and seven breakups. McCoy is an instinctive corner with good ball skills and a willing tackler. He could be a steal if he returns to his 2024 form.

|
Carolina Panthers: Kyle Louis, OLB, Pittsburgh |
|
Carolina could use more linebacker talent to go with Devin Lloyd.
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.

|
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: L.T. Overton, DT, Alabama |
|
Pittsburgh could use more defensive line youth.
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.

|
Philadelphia Eagles: Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia |
|
Philadelphia grabs a playmaker for offense and special teams.
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.

|
Los Angeles Chargers: Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon |
|
The Chargers could use some youth at guard.
Pregnon (6-5, 318) played at three different schools in college while working himself into a potential day-two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Pregnon started out at Wyoming before playing a couple of seasons at USC, and then finishing his career at Oregon. At 6-foot-5, 318-pounds Pregnon has good size for the NFL and could compete quickly.

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: Gabe Jacas, DE, Illinois |
|
The 49ers could use more edge rush youth.
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.

Houston Texans: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech |
|
Houston could use more young linebacker talent. This is a great scheme fit for the Texans.
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.

|
Chicago Bears: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama |
|
Chicago could stand to add more talent at wide receiver after trading 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 grab some edge rush talent.
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: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina |
|
The Seahawks get a replacement for Riq Woolen.
Cisse has been an impressive cover corner for South Carolina in 2025. He had 27 tackles with an interception, five passes batted, and a forced fumble. In 2024, he had 28 tackles with five passes broken up. The 6-foot, 190-pounder has quality size to go with speed and athleticism. He could be a starting man corner in the NFL.
