Las Vegas Raiders: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville |
|
The Raiders need more receiving talent.
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.
The Jets could move on from Jermaine Johnson. Here’s an end to pair with Will McDonald.
Jackson was playing well before an injury knocked him out of the opener against Texas. He has 27 tackles, two passes defended, and 6.5 sacks thus far. Jackson (6-6, 258) was a solid defender for the Buckeyes in 2024, rotating behind Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau. In 2024, Jackson totaled 16 tackles with 1.5 sacks and a pass batted. He could produce more as a starter in 2025 with the potential to rise. Sources say that Jackson has a good skill set and could be a high riser.

Rd: 2 Pk: 14The Titans could use more receiving weapons.
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 grabs more young edge rush talent.
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.
The Giants could use more offensive line talent to protect .
The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Miller was a solid starting tackle for Clemson with 54 consecutive starts. He is a good athlete with quickness and agility on the edge. Miller could stand to get stronger and play with more physicality, but he has the ability to develop into a solid pro.
Houston grabs a blocker that could help them at center or guard.
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.

Rd: 2 Pk: 2The Ravens could use more receiving weapons for Lamar Jackson. DeAndre Hopkins is not a long-term contributor.
Harbor (6-5, 241) is a big receiver who has sprinter speed. For years, scouts have been talking him up to me as a prospect with an elite skill set. In 2025, he had 30 receptions for 618 yards and six touchdowns thus far. Until recently, Harbor was also a college track competitor, as he is extremely fast. Harbor has had some issues with his hands and is very raw as a route-runner. In 2024, Harbor had 26 catches for 376 yards and three scores.
The Vikings take a replacement for Harrison Smith.
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.

The Lions have some big contract extensions looming for Jahmyr Gibbs, Jack Campbell, Sam LaPorta, and Brian Branch. They could save money by moving on from Taylor Decker after the 2026 season, and there is talk Decker is considering retiring. Here is a tackle to develop behind Decker.
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 end up getting starter grades with early-round potential.

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.
Pittsburgh could use 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. Hood was supposed to be the No. 2 corner, but with Jermod McCoy out with an injury, Hood ended up being the best cover corner for the Volunteers. Hood had 24 tackles with two interceptions and six passes broken up in 2024. Prior to Tennessee, Hood played for Colorado and Auburn.
Green Bay moved on from Jaire Alexander and could use more young talent at corner.
In 2025, McKinney has 34 tackles with an interception and five passes defended.

McKinney totaled 61 tackles with three interceptions and eight passes broken up. McKinney (6-2, 190) is big and has quality ball skills.
Joey Bosa is aging and has issues staying healthy. The Bills could use more youth at edge rusher.

Los Angeles Rams: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU |
|
Los Angeles could use some youth at linebacker.
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.
The Chargers could use more young cornerback talent to go with Cam Hart.
Ferrell has 38 tackles with four interceptions and six passes defended thus far in 2025. In 2024, Ferrell was a tough defender for the Hoosiers. He had 49 tackles with four interceptions and one pass batted. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has good size to go along with ball skills.

Houston Texans: Kyle Louis, OLB, Pittsburgh |
|
Houston could consider adding more young linebacker talent.
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.

Rd: 2 Pk: 6Philadelphia grabs some offensive line youth.
The 6-foot-4, 334-pound Ioane is a strong blocker at the point of attack with the ability to generate movement in the ground game. He is also a reliable pass protector. Ioane is explosive, can mirror speed rushers, and plays with physicality with a nasty streak. Ioane looks like a guard for the NFL and probably does not have the length to kick outside to tackle.
The 49ers could use more offensivce line talent.
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 Jaguars could use more pass rush talent.
In 2025, Uiagalelei has 28 tackles, five sacks, and three passes defended. He has looked good on some plays, but has been inconsistent. Uiagalelei flashed big-time ability for the Ducks in 2024, recording 10.5 sacks with two forced fumbles, one interception, one pass batted, and 38 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 270-pounder has good size, strength, and athleticism. Team sources feel that Uiagalelei looks awesome in flashes but lacks consistency in 2024.
Chicago 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.
The Patriots grab a young right tackle option.
Carmona (6-5, 322) played well for Arkansas in 2025 and 2024, showing ability as a run blocker and pass protector at left tackle. He is a solid player who looks like a safe pick to be a solid and tough NFL starter. Carmona played left tackle at San Jose State in 2023 and 2022. Carmona might be a candidate to move to right tackle or kick inside to guard.

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: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson |
|
The Seahawks could add some edge rush youth.
