2026 NFL Draft Stock Up
Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Boston created a buzz with a strong pro day workout. While Boston did not run the 40-yard dash, he did well on other timed tests and looked good in the field work. Boston is going on a lot of pre-draft visits, and there is a lot of interest in him from teams that are targeting a wide receiver in the first round. If the interviews go well, Boston could lock in being a pick on the opening night of the draft.
Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
The Sun Devils right tackle has been a consensus early second-rounder since his excellent week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Iheanachor is seen as a high upside tackle with good size, length, strength, and athleticism. However, he is raw and developing. Still, there are a lot of teams that like him, and Iheanachor has the potential to be even better with pro coaching. As a result, Iheanachor could sneak into the late picks of the first round of the draft.
Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia
Delp had an excellent workout at the Georgia pro day, showing speed in the 40 and doing well in the timed drills. Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq is the only first-round tight end for the 2026 NFL Draft, but Delp made a strong argument to be the second tight end drafted. He was underutilized as a receiver with the Bulldogs, but Delp has a good skill set with size, speed, and athleticism. He showed blocking and receiving ability during his time in Athens. Delp could go as high as the second round next month.
2025 NFL Draft Stock Down
Makai Lemon, WR, USC
Lemon’s combine interviews were discussed widely in the media, and there seems to be some validity to those reports. Lemon had some strange behavior, according to some sources, and that has given an uneasy feeling about how Lemon will assimilate into the team’s locker room. Lemon still is a projected first-rounder, but the number of teams that feel taking him that high could be decreasing.
Caleb Banks, DT, Florida
Banks’ chances of being a first-round pick took a real shot with another foot injury. Banks’ injury is not long-term, but considering he barely played in 2025 because of injury, it adds to durability and medical concerns. As a result of another injury, Banks is more likely to go on the second day of the draft rather than being a first-rounder.
Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn
Faulk has some team sources that really like him, but there are a number of others that are just lukewarm. The sources that like him talk about his skill set, potential, his 2024 tape, and his outstanding character. The lukewarm evaluators refer to his underwhelming 2025 tape. As a result, sources say they think Faulk could go in the 20-40 range next April.
