Cleveland Browns: Arch Manning , QB, Texas |
|
Cleveland is wasting evaluation snaps on Deshaun Watson. At some point, they have to get answers on if Shedeur Sanders can be the long-term starter. The Browns grab a future starter at quarterback. Until he proves he is the long-term starter, the Browns look poised to take a quarterback next April.
Manning has completed 62 percent of his passes for 664 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions.After struggling in the first half, Manning led an epic fourth-quarter comeback for a legendary win against Ohio State.
In 2025, Manning completed 61 percent of his passes for 3,163 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had 10 rushing touchdowns. Manning flashed his excellent skill set in relief work for Quinn Ewers in 2024. Manning has completed 68 percent of his passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has two rushing touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has a strong arm and is athletic with running ability for the NFL.

Miami Dolphins: Jeremiah Smith , WR, Ohio State |
|
Even if Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell play well, Miami could use an elite playmaker to go with them.
Smith has dominated against Ball State, Texas, and Kent State, totaling 21 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns..
In 2025, Smith caught 87 passes for 1,243 yards and 12 touchdowns. Smith (6-3, 215) took college football by storm as a freshman, and he dominated for the Buckeyes. In his debut season, Smith caught 76 passes for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns. He showed size, speed, athleticism, and natural feel in a tremendous freshman year, helping Ohio State win a National Championship. As I wrote in the preseason scouting report on Smith (link above), Smith reminds me of Julio Jones. Smith has shocking deep speed in a powerful frame with excellent size, outstanding route-running, twitch and explosion to get separation, and huge, strong hands. Smith is a freak athlete and is among the best NFL Draft prospects over the past 20 years.

Tennessee Titans: Dylan Stewart , DE, South Carolina |
|
The Titans could use a young edge rusher across from Keldric Faulk.
In 2026, Smith has one tackle after missing the first two games with injury. In 2025, Stewart had 33 tackles, 4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two passes defended. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Stewart was superb for the Gamecocks in 2024. As a freshman, he was an immediate impact player, totaling 6.5 sacks with three forced fumbles, one pass batted, and 23 tackles. Stewart has a lot of potential to develop.

Arizona Cardinals: Darian Mensah , QB, Miami |
|
The Cardinals grab their next potential franchise quarterback.
Mensah has completed 90 percent of his passes for 873 yards with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Mensah (6-3, 205) played well in his season with Duke. He completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 34 touchdowns, six interceptions, and one rushing touchdown. After the season, he transferred to Miami to replace Carson Beck. He has a quality skill set with some arm talent and mobility. In 2024, Mensah had a good season as Tulane's starting quarterback, which led to him getting big-money offers in the transfer portal. Mensah has good accuracy and feel as a passer. He does not have elite athleticism or size, but Mensah is a dangerous passer and a point producer.

Las Vegas Raiders: K.J. Duff , WR, Rutgers |
|
The Raiders foolishly passed on Luther Burden and Denzel Boston over the past two drafts. Las Vegas badly needs more receiving talent for Fernando Mendoza.
In 2026, Duff has dominated against UMass (9-196-3) and Boston College (8-137-2). He has 24 receptions for 418 yards with six touchdowns.
Duff has generated a nice buzz early in the process after a breakout 2025 season to go along with special height, weight, and speed. The advance scouts have him listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, with a projected 40 time around 4.5 seconds. His speed and size translated to being a chunk-producing receiver in 2025 with an average of 18.1 yards per catch. Duff totaled 60 receptions for 1,084 yards with seven touchdowns. Rutgers fought hard to keep Duff from leaving, and sources say they think Rutgers paid upwards of $3 million to get Duff back in 2026. Duff could be a riser for the 2027 draft.

New York Giants: Cam Coleman , WR, Auburn |
|
I think New York made a big mistake passing on Jordyn Tyson and not giving more receiving weapons to Jaxson Dart. Here’s a playmaker that could form a special tandem with Malik Nabers.
Thus far, Coleman has 11 catches for 178 yards and four touchdowns.
Coleman entered the transfer portal and will play with Texas in 2026. In 2025, Coleman had 56 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns with Auburn. While other freshman receivers got more attention, Coleman (6-3, 197) flashed tremendous ability with size, speed, and athleticism. He caught 37 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns in his debut. If Auburn can give Coleman more consistent quarterback play, he could explode as a sophomore or junior.

Atlanta Falcons: Dante Moore , QB, Oregon |
|
Unless Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix proves to be the long-term starter, the new Falcons regime could target a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Moore has completed 69 percent of his passes for 849 yards with nine touchdowns.
Moore was a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore completed 73 percent of his passes for 3,280 yards with 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore (6-2, 215) is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend. He has shown impressive arm talent and feel as a passer. Moore throws some beautiful deep balls and shows impressive composure and poise for a young player. Moore has adequate size, and team sources who have stood next to and spoken with Moore and Rams quarterback Ty Simpson say they are close to the same height and weight.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Colin Simmons , OLB/DE, Texas |
|
Tampa Bay could use more linebacker talent, and edge rush talent across from Rueben Bain. Here’s a versatile defender and disruptive presence.
In 2026, Simmons had four tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery in 2026.
In 2025, Simmons had 43 tackles, 12 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two passes broken up. In 2024, Simmons had an excellent debut for Texas and showed serious pass-rush ability with nine sacks. He also had three forced fumbles, 48 tackles, two passes defended, and one interception. Simmons (6-3, 245) has upside and could be even better after gaining experience.

New York Jets: Charlie Becker , WR, Indiana |
|
The Jets take another mismatch weapon for their new quarterback.
Becker has 12 catches for 272 yards and six touchdowns thus far in 2026..
Becker flashed big-play ability with the Hoosiers in 2025 and showed an ability to stretch defenses downfield. In 2025, he had 30 catches for 614 yards with five scores. Becker illustrated some serious speed with his average of 20.5 yards per reception. To go along with speed, Becker has size and length at 6-foot-4, 204 pounds. He is reminiscent of Alec Pierce at Cincinnati.

Detroit Lions: Leonard Moore , CB, Notre Dame |
|
With Terrion Arnold turning into a bust, the Lions badly need more cornerback talent. Here is a true No. 1 corner and a dream come true pick for Detroit.
Moore played well against Wisconsin with five solo tackles, a pass break-up, blanket coverage, and a near interception.
Moore dealt with injuries but played really well in 2025. He had 31 tackles with five interceptions and seven passes defended. With Benjamin Morrison hurt, Moore was phenomenal in 2024, helping the Fighting Irish reach the National Championship. He totaled 48 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 11 passes broken up as a freshman. Moore (6-2, 195) has an excellent skill set with size, speed, and athleticism, and is a natural football player.

San Francisco 49ers: Trevor Goosby , OT, Texas |
|
The 49ers could use more youth on the offensive line. Here’s a blocker who could start at guard or right tackle and then take over for Trent Williams.
Goosby (6-7, 325) took over as the starting left tackle for Texas in 2025 and had an impressive debut for the Longhorns. Goosby has good size, athleticism, strength, quickness, and upside to get better as he gains experience.

New Orleans Saints: Ashton Hampton , CB, Clemson |
|
The Saints could use a true No. 1 corner for their defense.
To open 2026, on the second play of the blowout loss to LSU, Hampton had a nice interception of Sam Leavitt. He has seven tackles, one interception, and four passes broken up thus far. Hampton (6-3, 204) is a big cover corner who is long and physical. In 2025, he totaled 45 tackles with eight passes broken up and an interception. He had 27 tackles with two interceptions and five breakups as a freshman. His speed and ability to run with speed receivers are a point of emphasis for his evaluation as a junior.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Vicari Swain , CB, South Carolina |
|
Pittsburgh seems poised to move on from Joey Porter Jr. and that would create big need at corner.
Swain has four tackles in 2026. South Carolina has had a number of good cornerbacks come through the program in recent years, and Swain will keep that tradition alive in 2027. In 2025, Swain totaled 28 tackles with one sack, two interceptions, and five passes broken up. Swain (6-1, 190) has a good skill set with size, speed, and athleticism.

New York Jets: LaNorris Sellers , QB, South Carolina |
|
Sellers has completed 63 percent of his passes for 648 yards, five passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and three interceptions..
Sellers completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 passing touchdowns, eight interceptions, five rushing touchdowns, and some yardage on the ground. He has been inconsistent, with some flashes of amazing passes and then missing some completions that he must complete for the NFL. In terms of his development as a football player, he probably should go back to college in 2026, but most players don’t think that way.
Sellers (6-3, 242) has a big-time skill set and could be a special quarterback. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. Sellers is a true dual-threat quarterback with dangerous running ability and impressive arm talent. With a cannon for an arm, Sellers can push the ball to all levels of the field with ease. His mobility, athleticism, escapability, and creativity to ad-lib his team into a big play are very desirable to pro teams.

Los Angeles Chargers: Will Echoles , DT, Ole Miss |
|
The Chargers could use some interior defensive line youth next to Akheem Mesidor.
To open 2026, Echoles has nine tackles and a sack. Echoles was a disruptive force for the Rebels in 2025 and made a lot of big plays for them at the point of attack. The 6-foot-3, 310-pounder showed run defense and pass rush ability as he totaled 68 tackles with five sacks and five passes batted. Echoles has quickness, athleticism, and strength. Sources say that Echoles has great character. They say he loves football, is a team leader, hard worker, and is not motivated by money.

New England Patriots: Reed Harris, WR, Arizona State |
|
The Patriots add another weapon for Drake Maye. Any of Cam Coleman, Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker, Reed Harris, or Ryan Coleman-Williams would be a great weapon to go across from A.J. Brown.
Thus far in 2026, Harris has 19 receptions for 323746 yards with five touchdowns. In 2025, Harris had 39 catches for 673 yards with five touchdowns. Harris (6-4, 220) is a big receiver with a strong build and showed some speed with an average of 17.3 yards per reception in 2025. As the No. 1 to replace Jordyn Tyson, Harris could be a riser for the 2027 NFL Draft.
