There’s some talk that Taylor Decker may retire soon, so the Lions will need a new tackle if/when that happens.

Wilkin Formby is a massive tackle with loads of upside.

C.J. Stroud has gotten worse every year. If he has another disappointing playoff performance, the Texans may explore other options rather than sign him to a long-term deal.

Nico Iamleava transferred from Tennessee to UCLA due to a family issue. He has plus arm strength and rushing ability.

Michael Penix Jr. was a disappointment in his second season. If he continues to struggle, the Falcons may look at another quarterback.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

The Patriots have lost some talented safeties lately, so they’ll need to find a replacement.

K.J. Bolden is a gifted safety, but needs to bulk up for the pros.

Joey Bosa is gone, and Khalil Mack won’t be too far behind him. The Chargers will need new pass rushers.

Will Heidt has good size and upside.

The Rams had cornerback issues during the 2025 season that must be addressed.

Zabien Brown has tremendous upside to be a No. 1 cornerback in the NFL.

The Seahawks don’t have much at receiver outside of Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed.

Nick Marsh is a 6-foot-3 receiver with plenty of potential.

Courtland Sutton will be approaching his mid-30s when the 2027 NFL Draft comes around, so the Broncos will need another receiver.

Ryan Wingo has plenty of upside as a big receiver.

The Vikings signed Jonathan Allen to a big contract, but they need better play at defensive tackle.

Will Echoles has a good blend of quickness, athleticism, and strength.

The 49ers could stand to get better at cornerback.

Daniel Harris is a huge cornerback with plenty of upside.

Dion Dawkins will be a 33-year-old entering his contract season when the 2027 NFL Draft arrives.

Brandon Baker has plenty of talent and upside, but must work on his technique.

Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will be 32 and 31, respectively, when the 2027 NFL offseason begins. Washington will need some young blood at receiver.

Charlie Becker can stretch defenses downfield with his big-play ability.

The Jaguars have been trying to replace Calais Campbell for nearly a decade. Perhaps they’ll finally do it with this pick.

James Smith is a talented defensive tackle with disruptive ability.

Like Dion Dawkins, Ronnie Stanley will be a 33-year-old entering his contract season when the 2027 NFL Draft arrives.

Austin Siereveld is a strong right tackle prospect.

I’m not sure how much longer the Eagles will tolerate A.J. Brown’s behavior, but there’s a chance he won’t be on the roster until 2027.

Evan Stewart tore his patellar tendon, so he has a long recovery ahead of him.
