2026 NFL Draft Big Board

1.

Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama. Previously: 1 Avg. 1 per 7
12/03/25: After Alabama lost to Florida State in the season opener, Simpson has been superb, leading the Crimson Tide to a string of wins against quality opponents. In 2025, Simpson has completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,056 yards with 25 touchdowns, four interceptions, and two rushing touchdowns. Simpson has shown some serious arm talent, making some beautiful throws downfield with superb ball placement to beat tight coverage. In tight games, Simpson made some great passes to lead his team to wins over Georgia and Missouri. Simpson (6-2, 208) is accurate, smart, has a strong arm, and throws with timing and anticipation. Simpson has shown superb ball security this season as well, with only one interception. If Simpson stays consistent, he could be a high first-round pick in the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft.

2.

Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame. Previously: 2 Avg. 3.9 per 16
12/03/25: In 2025, Love has averaged 6.9 yards per carry for 1,372 yards with 18 touchdowns. He has 27 catches for 280 yards with three touchdowns receiving, and Love has blocked well in pass protection.



In 2024, Love had a breakout season for the Fighting Irish, producing a lot of clutch plays to help the Irish reach the National Championship. As a sophomore, Love averaged 6.9 yards per carry for 1,125 yards with 17 touchdowns. He also caught 28 passes for 237 yards. Love has a strong build and is a physical downhill runner. Love is a talented runner with speed and instincts. He reminds me of Nick Chubb at Georgia.

3.

David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech. Previously: 3 Avg. 11.8 per 12
12/03/25: The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Bailey is a fast edge rusher. Thus far in 2025, he has 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and 37 tackles. Bailey could be a riser through the 2026 draft process. He is a fast edge rusher with natural quarterback-hunting ability. In 2024, he recorded 31 tackles with seven sacks and five forced fumbles with Stanford.

4.

Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State. Previously: 4 Avg. 4.1 per 16
12/03/25: Downs has 52 tackles with two interceptions, one pass broken up, and one sack. He was quiet against Texas but had an interception against Gambling. Downs played well overall against Penn State.



In 2024, Downs had 76 tackles with six passes broken up and two interceptions while helping the Buckeyes to win a National Championship. Downs was phenomenal for Alabama in 2023, recording 107 tackles, two interceptions, three passes broken up, and a forced fumble. After the season, he transferred to Ohio State. Downs (6-0, 205) has the potential to be a star prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

5.

Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State. Previously: 7 Avg. 14.2 per 11
12/03/25: Thus far in 2025, Reese has 61 tackles with 6.5 sacks and two passes broken up. Team sources feel that Reese is a special player as they like his instincts in combination with being big and athletic. At 6-foot-4. 238 pounds, Reese is a large linebacker with a versatile skill set. He is capable dropping in coverge, rushing the passer, and is a sideline-to-sideline run defender. In 2024, Reese had 43 tackles with .5 sacks as a rotational backup.

6.

Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State. Previously: 6 Avg. 5.7 per 16
12/03/25: Tyson has 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns.



Tyson was a dangerous weapon for the Sun Devils in 2024 as he hauled in 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tyson is fast with easy acceleration. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder has adequate size and showed some serious speed and explosiveness in 2022 when he averaged 21.4 yards per reception (22-470-4).

7.

Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn. Previously: 8 Avg. 3.1 per 16
12/03/25: Faulk has 29 tackles with two sacks and three passes batted.



Faulk was a beast for Auburn in 2024, with a big-time presence behind the line of scrimmage. He had seven sacks, 45 tackles, and one forced fumble. He has shown speed and power as a pass rusher while being a big-bodied lineman to defend the run. The 6-foot-6, 288-pounder has upside to develop as he gains experience.

8.

Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU. Previously: 5 Avg. 11 per 16
12/03/25: Delane has 45 tackles with two interceptions and 11 passes broken up. He has played well this season for LSU.



Delane is an instinctive defender with a quality skill set for the next level. In 2024, he had four interceptions with seven passes defended, two forced fumbles, and 54 tackles with Virginia Tech. In 2023, he had one interception, one pass batted, and 54 tackles. He had eight breakups with an interception in 2022 as a freshman. The 6-foot-1, 188-pounder has good size to him with upside to continue to get better as he gains experience.

9.

Isaiah World, OT, Oregon. Previously: 9 Avg. 11.2 per 16
12/03/25: World has been solid as the blind side protector for Dante Moore this season. World has played with an ankle injury. He has been a steady pass blocker, and had a decent outing against Penn State while taking on some future pros. While he was not bad, he was not dominant and was not overly impressive. World is huge, but could stand to add more power to generate more movement at the point of attack.

10.

Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana. Previously: 10 Avg. 13.8 per 10
12/03/25: Mendoza has completed 72 percent of his passes for 2,758 yards with 32 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has five rushing touchdowns as well. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder has a quality arm, reads the field well, makes good decisions, and has dangerous pocket passing ability. Mendoza played well for Cal in 2024. He completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,004 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Mendoza has good size, and it will be interesting to see how he develops at Indiana.

11.

Dante Moore, QB, Oregon. Previously: 11 Avg. 10.4 per 10
12/03/25: Moore (6-3, 206) 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 2,733 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. Moore is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend, but against Indiana, Moore struggled. He showed that he needs to improve his processing speed and was holding the ball too long, leading to taking unnecessary sacks. In 2023 with UCLA, Moore completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore has a good arm and can throw some beautiful passes deep down the field. Moore has a lot of talent and upside.

12.

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon. Previously: 12 Avg. 23 per 13
12/03/25: Thus far in 2025, Sadiq has 40 catches for 490 yards and eight touchdowns. Sadiq flashed in 2024 with 24 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Sadiq is a dangerous receiver, and he has athletic upside. Team sources are raving about Sadiq as a talent and mismatch weapon.

13.

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington. Previously: 13 Avg. 9.3 per 16
12/03/25: Boston has 56 catches for 755 yards and 10 touchdowns. Boston has played well for Washington and has been consistent. He is a size mismatch problem with a style of play similar to Tet McMillan or Drake London.



After Washington lost a trio of good receivers to the NFL, Boston enjoyed a breakout season for the Huskies in 2024. He had 64 receptions for 834 yards and nine touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 209-pounder has mismatch size and looks like he is just scratching the surface of his potential.

14.

Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama. Previously: 14 Avg. 14.6 per 16
12/03/25: Proctor was solid against Florida State and Georgia. He was solid but had a few plays get away from him against Missouri and their dynamic edge rush tandem. He had some problems with Auburn’s Keldric Faulk. Proctor had an ugly game against South Carolina that made him look more like a right tackle for the NFL. Proctor has a good skill set, but weight issues are a problem for the NFL.



Overall, Proctor played well in 2023 as a freshman. Except for struggling against Michigan in the college football playoff, Proctor was generally reliable in protecting Jalen Milroe. Proctor (6-7, 360) is a massive lef tackle who could also be a right tackle candidate in the NFL. Sources from Alabama have said that Proctor has make-up and character concerns.

15.

Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina. Previously: 15 Avg. 27.6 per 5
12/03/25: Cisse has been an impressive cover corner for South Carolina in 2025. He has 27 tackles with an interception, five passes batted, and a forced fumble. In 2024, he had 28 tackles with five passes broken up. The 6-foot, 190-pounder has quality size to go with speed and athleticism. He could be a starting man corner in the NFL.

16.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville. Previously: 16 Avg. 23.6 per 10
12/03/25: In 2025, Bell has 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns. Bell (6-2, 220) was a solid receiver for the Cardinals in 2024, catching 43 passes for 737 yards and four touchdowns. With a strong build, Bell is physical and tough, but he also has good speed and runs well for a thick-built receiver.

17.

Spencer Fano, OT, Utah. Previously: 17 Avg. 6.4 per 16
12/03/25: Fano has had a mixed performance this season. Taking on Texas Tech, he did a nice job overall with Red Raiders edge rusher David Bailey, but Fano had a critical penalty that canceled out a long touchdown pass. Team sources have been mixed on Fano, and some feel his 2025 tape has been underwhelming.



The 6-foot-5, 304-pound Fano has a lot of talent, and has played well at tackle for the Utes. He has been a versatile tackle with 11 starts at left tackle and 13 at right tackle heading into the 2025 season. For the most part, Fano played on the left side in 2023 and on the right side in 2024.

18.

Harold Perkins Jr, LB, LSU. Previously: 18 Avg. 17.8 per 16
12/03/25: Perkins played well against Clemson and did a good job as a spy to limit Cade Klubnik. Perkins has 55 tackles, three passes batted, four sacks, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. LSU does not let Perkins rush very much and has him dropping in coverage typically.



In 2024, Perkins had 16 tackles before suffering a season-ending injury early in the year. Perkins was a beast and was all over the field for LSU as a freshman in 2022, totaling 72 tackles, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one interception, and four passes batted. In 2023, Perkins recorded 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, 74 tackles, and four passes batted. The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder possesses a unique body type and is undersized as an edge defender, but there is no doubt about his explosive speed and tremendous instincts.

19.

Damon Wilson II, DE, Missouri. Previously: 19 Avg. 33.2 per 10
12/03/25: In 2025, Wilson has 20 tackles, nine sacks, two passes batted, and one interception thus far. Wilson was a rotational backup at Georgia in 2024, totaling 22 tackles with three sacks and two forced fumbles. He transferred to Missouri after the season, and Wilson has been impressive with the Tigers. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Wilson has quality size with speed off the edge. Sources say he has good character as well.

20.

John Mateer, QB, Oklahoma. Previously: 20 Avg. 10.2 per 15
12/03/25: Mateer has completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,578 yards with 12 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, and six rushing touchdowns. Mateer rushed back after only 17 days after thumb surgery, but he had a horrible game against Texas. For the NFL, Mateer looks like a starter who could be a devastating passer. Mateer (6-1, 224) is an accurate passer with excellent ball placement overall. He has a few throws get away from him, but Mateer has impressive precision as a passer. Mateer is very mobile in the pocket and can hurt defenses on the ground. As a passer, Mateer is similar to Baker Mayfield, but Mateer is a better athlete and more dangerous with his feet. Team sources are hearing Mateer is inclined to go back to Oklahoma next season.

21.

Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson. Previously: 21 Avg. 18.8 per 16
12/03/25: Terrell has 48 tackles with four forced fumbles, three sacks, and nine passes batted. Terrell is a fast cover corner to run the route and prevent separation. He has an amazing knack for forcing fumbles. However, Terrell is very undersized for the NFL.



Terrell (5-11, 180) is a fast and fluid cover corner who is extremely adept at running the route to prevent separation. He has excellent ball skills, instincts, and plays bigger and stronger than his size. The size and future durability are the biggest concerns for the NFL. Terrell worked his way onto the field as a freshman and had five starts. He recorded 19 tackles with four passes broken up and an interception. In 2024, Terrell started every game and totaled 58 tackles with two interceptions, 12 passes broken up, three forced fumbles, and 4.5 tackles for a loss. Terrell is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

22.

Zion Young, DE, Missouri. Previously: 22 Avg. 31.4 per 10
12/03/25: Young has 38 tackles with 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes batted thus far. He was very productive in producing pressures as well. In 2024, Young had 41 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Young has good size, length, and upside to produce more as he gets developed.

23.

Peter Woods, DT, Clemson. Previously: 23 Avg. 20 per 16
12/03/25: Woods has 30 tackles with two sacks and a pass batted.



Woods got his season off to a strong start against Georgia, and he has been disruptive for Clemson. In 2024, he had three sacks and 26 tackles. Woods (6-3, 315) has upside to be better in 2025.

24.

Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee. Previously: 24 Avg. 15.3 per 16
12/03/25: McCoy did not play this season as he works his way back from a torn ACL.



The 6-foot, 190-pound McCoy had an excellent sophomore season with 44 tackles, four interceptions, and seven passes broken up. He played well in 2023 with 31 tackles, two interceptions, and seven breakups. McCoy is an instinctive corner with good ball skills and a willing tackler.

25.

LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina. Previously: 25 Avg. 14.4 per 16
12/03/25: Sellers has completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing, and some yardage on the ground. Sellers was inconsistent against Missouri, with some amazing passes, some bad sacks, and some painful misses on open receivers, which helped the team lose the game. Sellers left the game against Vanderbilt in the first half after taking a hard hit to the head. He struggled against LSU.



Sellers (6-3, 242) has a big-time skill set and could be a breakout star in 2024 or 2025. 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 has real arm talent. His mobility, athleticism, and creativity to ad lib his team into a big play are very desired by pro teams, and Sellers could rise high if he has a big 2025 season.
