1. NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: Arch Manning, QB, Texas

The Browns grab a future starter at quarterback.

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.

2. NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Dylan Stewart, DE, South Carolina

Las Vegas tried to trade Maxx Crosby and was successful in getting something for first-round bust Tyree Wilson. Here’s an end to go with Crosby.

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.


3. NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon

The Cardinals add their future starter.

Moore has been a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore has completed 73 percent of his passes for 3,280 yards with 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore (6-3, 203) 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.

4. NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State

The Dolphins land a No. 1 receiver for Malik Willis.

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.


5. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Jayden Maiava, QB, USC

The Jets grab their quarterback of the future.

Maiava took a big step forward in 2025, completing 66 percent of his passes for 3,711 yards with 24 touchdowns passing, six scores rushing, and 10 interceptions. Maiava (6-4, 230) has a good skill set, and if he builds on his 2025 season, he could be a first-round prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft.

6. NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Cam Coleman , WR, Auburn

John Harbaugh passed on the Giants helping Jaxson Dart with a mismatch weapon in the 2026 NFL Draft. Teams will send a lot of extra coverage to limit Malik Nabers, and Dart needs more playmakers to work with.

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.


7. NFL Team Logo for Bears Chicago Bears: Yhonzae Pierre, DE, Alabama

The Bears add more edge rush talent to go across from Montez Sweat.

The 6-foot-3, 248-pound Pierre has been a tough defender for the Crimson Tide in 2025. He has been a dangerous edge rusher with speed and physicality to push through blocks. In 2025, Pierre had 52 tackles with eight sacks, three forced fumbles, and one pass batted. He is an ascending player with a ton of upside.


8. NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame

The Panthers could use more cornerback talent to go with Jaycee Horn.

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, athleticism, and is a natural football player.


9. NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia

The Cowboys add a No.1 cornerback to continue their defensive overhaul.

In 2025, Robinson had a breakout season for the Bulldogs, playing as an effective cover corner. Robinson totaled four interceptions, seven passes broken up, and 20 tackles. Robinson (6-0, 180) could stand to fill out his frame to help him battle pro receivers.


10. NFL Team Logo for Falcons Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Seaton, OT, LSU

The Falcons could use a young offensive tackle with Jake Matthews aging and Kaleb McGary retired.

The 6-foot-5, 307-pounder has a good skill set with size, quickness, strength, and athleticism. He was impressive as the starting left tackle at Colorado for two seasons. It will be interesting to see how Seaton handles better competition in 2026.


11. NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Anthonie Knapp, OT, Notre Dame

The Titans grab some offensive line help to protect Cam Ward.

Knapp (6-4, 296) broke into the starting lineup as a freshman in 2024 and had an excellent season for the Irish. Knapp was just scratching the surface, and he should improve as he gains experience while developing his body. Knapp has good natural quickness, athleticism, and strength. He was very impressive at left tackle for the Irish and could be a riser during the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Knapp has had a mixed start to the 2025 season.


12. NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina

Tampa Bay could be headed for a franchise makeover, and Baker Mayfield is nearing the end of his contract. They could start a rebuild with a new quarterback as soon as next offseason.

Sellers completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing, 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.


13. NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Nico Iamaleava, QB, UCLA

The Steelers take a quarterback of the future.

In 2025, Iamaleava has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had four scores on the ground. In 2024, Iamaleava had an excellent debut as a freshman with Tennessee. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also ran for 358 yards and three touchdowns. After the season, Iamaleava got into a dispute with the Volunteers over NIL money and ended up transferring to UCLA. Family health issues for Iamaleava also played a big factor in the transfer. Iamaleava has a good arm, athleticism, and big-play ability.


14. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Will Echoles, DT, Ole Miss

The Jets add an interior disruptor to replace Quinnen Williams.

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.

15. NFL Team Logo for Jaguars Jacksonville Jaguars: Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida

If not sooner, the Jaguars could be looking for a replacement for Travis Etienne come the 2027 NFL Draft.

In 2025, Baugh averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,170 yards with eight touchdowns. He has 33 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Baugh flashed serious running ability for the Gators in 2024 as a freshman. While other backs got more carries, Baugh showed a dangerous burst and power to get yards after contact. Baugh averaged 5.1 yards per carry for 673 yards and seven touchdowns. He had four catches for 33 yards and a score. Baugh could explode if the Gators make him their feature back.

16. NFL Team Logo for Patriots New England Patriots: Colin Simmons, LB, Texas

In the next year or two, the Patriots might want some long-term talent at linebacker.

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.
