17. NFL Team Logo for Commanders Washington Commanders: Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama

Washington needs more playmakers for Jayden Daniels.

In 2025, Coleman-Williams had 49 catches for 689 yards and four scores. He has had some problems with dropped passes in 2025. Coleman-Williams (6-0, 175) was very impressive in his freshman season for the Crimson Tide, catching 48 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He could stand to add some weight for the NFL, but he is a dynamic playmaker and capable of changing the game on any play.


18. NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Sammy Brown, LB, Clemson

The Broncos could use more young talent at linebacker.

In 2025, Brown had 106 tackles with five sacks, one forced fumble, an interception, and five passes broken up. Brown impressed in 2024 with 80 tackles, five sacks, and three passes broken up. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder has good instincts.

19. 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.

20. NFL Team Logo for Vikings Minnesota Vikings: Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida

Minnesota could use an upgrade in the backfield and a difference maker to help their ground game.

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, 228-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.


Tampa Bay could use more young receiver talent to go with Emeka Egbuka.

Marsh was highly targeted in the transfer portal, and Indiana won the bidding war to add him to their 2026 roster. In 2025, Marsh had 59 receptions for 662 yards with six touchdowns at Michigan State. The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Marsh is very talented and has a ton of upside. In 2024, he caught 41 passes for 649 yards and three touchdowns. He could take off in 2025 or 2026.



22. NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: K.J. Bolden, S, Georgia

The Chiefs grab a difference-maker for the back end.

In 2025, Bolden had 76 tackles with two interceptions and five 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.


23. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Jelani McDonald, S, Texas

New York grabs a long-term safety and difference maker for the back end.

McDonald had a strong 2025 season for the Longhorns, showing an ability to make plays as a run defender and in pass coverage. He totaled 80 tackles with three interceptions and three passes defended. McDonald (6-2, 195) has good size and is fast.

24. NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M

The Seahawks could use more receiver talent to pair with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Cooper Kupp is not a long-term starter.

Carver is an explosive receiver with dangerous speed to challenge defenses deep downfield. The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder is small but very fast. In 2025, Carver had 59 catches for 917 yards and four touchdowns.

25. NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Ahmad Moten Sr., DT, Miami

The Texans grab an interior defender to pair with Kayden McDonald.

Moten was a key contributor and an interior pass rusher on the tough Hurricanes defense that carried them to the National Championship. In 2025, Moten totaled 4.5 sacks with 31 tackles. Moten (6-3, 325) has a good skill set with upside to develop.

26. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Trey’Dez Green, TE, LSU

The Ravens could use a young mismatch tight end.

Green flashed dynamic receiving ability as a sophomore, hauling in 33 passes for 433 yards with seven touchdowns. The 6-foot-6, 238-pound Green has surprising speed and fluid athleticism for a big-bodied tight end. He could be a mismatch weapon in the NFL. As a freshman backing up Mason Taylor, Green caught four touchdowns with 101 yards on 13 catches.


27. NFL Team Logo for Lions Detroit Lions: Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama

The Lions need more cornerback talent.

In 2025, Brown had 39 tackles, two interceptions, and five passes broken up. Brown flashed a lot of ability in 2024 with 18 tackles, three interceptions, and two passes broken up. Brown (6-0, 192) has a lot of upside.

28. NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Will Heldt, DE, Clemson

Bradley Chubb is not a long-term starter. Here is a solution for Buffalo.

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.

29. NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: A’Mauri Washington, DT, Oregon

It will be interesting to see how things play out with some of the veterans nearing the end of their contracts in Philadelphia. Here is more interior defensive line youth.

In 2025, Washington had 31 tackles with 1.5 sacks and seven passes broken up. Washington (6-3, 330) is known to have an excellent skill set and upside. He is very strong, physical, and has surprising speed and athleticism for a heavy defensive tackle. Last year, Washington was a rotational backup behind Derrick Harmon. In 2024, Washington totaled 10 tackles and two passes broken up.


30. NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: Brandon Baker, OT, Texas

The Bengals grab a replacement for Orlando Brown.

The 6-foot-4, 308-pound Baker has a lot of talent and upside to improve. He has technique issues to clean up, but he has an excellent skill set. Baker has size, speed, and athleticism to be a starting edge protector.

31. NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: David Stone, DT, Oklahoma

The Chargers could use some interior defensive line youth next to Akheem Mesidor.

The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Stone flashed some next-level ability in 2025. He was a disruptive run defender with 43 tackles on the season. Stone had 1.5 sacks as a sophomore. Improving as a pass rusher would help him to rise.


32. NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: Quincy Rhodes Jr., DE, Arkansas

The Browns grab a young edge rusher to go across from Jared Verse.

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.
