Las Vegas Raiders: Yhonzae Pierre, DE, Alabama |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 2/9/26): Fernando Mendoza, QB
Even if Maxx Crosby stays in Las Vegas, they could use more end talent across from him. Tyree Wilson has yet to become the player he was drafted to be, and was a pick from a few regimes ago.
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.

Rhodes has been a bright spot for Arkansas in 2025, racking up eight sacks with 43 tackles. At 6-foot-6, 276 pounds, Rhodes has good size to set the edge with height and length. Rhodes has enjoyed a breakout season and could be a riser during the 2026 or 2027 process.

Tennessee Titans: Cam Coleman, WR, Texas |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 2/9/26): Jeremiyah Love, RB
The Titans need a true No. 1 receiver for Cam Ward.

While other freshman receivers got more attention, Coleman (6-3, 197) flashed tremendous ability with size, speed, and athleticism.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 2/9/26): Zion Young, DE
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.

|
