|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): NONE

Los Angeles Rams: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Mansoor Delane, CB and Isaiah World, OT
By the 2026 NFL Draft, the Rams could target a replacement for Matthew Stafford.
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.

2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Jeremiyah Love, RB
Washington grabs some safety youth.
In 2025, Bolden has 66 tackles with two interceptions and four passes broken up. In a talented secondary, Bolden (6-0, 185) was able to earn playing time as a freshman and had an excellent debut next to Malaki Starks. Bolden totaled 59 tackles with one interception, one pass broken up, one sack, and one forced fumble. After gaining some experience, Bolden could be even better. He could stand to add some weight to his frame for tackling in the NFL.

|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Peter Woods, DT

|
Baltimore Ravens: Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Keldric Faulk, DE
DeAndre Hopkins is not a long-term contributor. The Ravens could look to add more receiver talent.
In 2025, Williams has 42 catches for 631 yards and four scores. He has had some problems with dropped passes in 2025. Williams (6-0, 175) was very impressive in his freshman season for the Crimson Tide, catching 48 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. Williams could stand to add some weight for the NFL, but he is a dynamic playmaker and capable of changing the game on any play.

San Francisco 49ers: Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Spencer Fano, OT

| 28. |
|
Buffalo Bills: Will Heldt, DE, Clemson |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Chris Bell, WR
The Bills add a long-term end to replace Joey Bosa.
Thus far in 2025, Heldt has 39 tackles with 7.5 sacks and one forced fumble. Heldt has played well for Clemson showing speed and athleticism off the edge. Heldt played well for Purdue in 2024, recording 56 tackles with five sacks. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder has good size, a surprising burst, and plays really hard. Heldt has upside, and he could be a nice value pick in the first or second round.

|
Philadelphia Eagles: Anthonie Knapp, OT, Notre Dame |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Cashius Howell, DE
The Eagles add a tackle to replace the aging Lane Johnson.
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.

Cincinnati Bengals: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Sonny Styles, LB

Kansas City Chiefs: Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M |
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Kenyon Sadiq, TE
The Chiefs could use more long-term weapons for Pat Mahomes.

Detroit Lions: Wilkin Formby, OT, Alabama |
|
2026 NFL Mock Draft (as of 12/9/25): Will Heldt, DE
The Lions are going to have a hard time affording large extensions with Aidan Hutchinson, Brian Branch, and Sam LaPorta. Taylor Decker is aging and expensive. The Lions could draft his replacement and devote his salary towards those young veterans.
Formby (6-7, 324) is a big tackle with a lot of upside. He could be a riser over 2025 and 2026.
