2026 NFL Draft Big Board

1.

Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame. Previously: 1 Avg. 3.5 per 19
12/24/25: In 2025, Love averaged 6.9 yards per carry for 1,372 yards with 18 touchdowns. He had 27 catches for 280 yards with three touchdowns receiving, and Love blocked well in pass protection. He is a worthy top-10 pick and is a back that is comparable to other top-16 picks like Bijan Robinson, Ezekiel Elliott, and Leonard Fournette.



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.

2.

Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State. Previously: 2 Avg. 3.8 per 19
12/24/25: Downs has 60 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.

3.

Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana. Previously: 3 Avg. 11.5 per 13
12/24/25: Mendoza has completed 72 percent of his passes for 2,980 yards with 33 touchdowns and six 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 while he is not a running threat, he has some functional mobility to move around and pick up yards on the ground.

4.

Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama. Previously: 4 Avg. 1.6 per 10
12/24/25: 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. His only really ugly game was the SEC Championship loss to Georgia when he was under constant pass pressure, and the Bulldogs had Simpson rattled. In 2025, Simpson has completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,500 yards with 28 touchdowns, five 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.

5.

Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State. Previously: 5 Avg. 12.1 per 14
12/24/25: Thus far in 2025, Reese has 62 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 very good at dropping in coverage, 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 19
12/24/25: Tyson had 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns. He missed a few games with injuries, and that has been a common theme for Tyson. Thus, some team sources have medical concerns about Tyson’s lack of durability for the NFL.



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.

David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech. Previously: 7 Avg. 10.8 per 15
12/24/25: The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Bailey is a fast edge rusher. Thus far in 2025, he has 13.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 42 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.

8.

Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn. Previously: 8 Avg. 3.8 per 19
12/24/25: Faulk had 29 tackles with two sacks and three passes batted. He played well, but the lack of pass rush production was disappointing.



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.

9.

Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU. Previously: 9 Avg. 10.7 per 19
12/24/25: Delane had 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.

10.

Dante Moore, QB, Oregon. Previously: 11 Avg. 10.5 per 13
12/24/25: 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 74 percent of his passes for 3,046 yards with 28 touchdowns and eight 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.

11.

Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee. Previously: 24 Avg. 15.9 per 19
12/24/25: McCoy did not play this season as he works his way back from a torn ACL. Some team sources think McCoy is worthy of going top-20.



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.

12.

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon. Previously: 12 Avg. 20.9 per 16
12/24/25: Thus far in 2025, Sadiq has 42 catches for 509 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. 9.8 per 19
12/24/25: Boston had 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. 14.5 per 19
12/24/25: 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. 22.9 per 8
12/24/25: Cisse has been an impressive cover corner for South Carolina in 2025. He had 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.

Zion Young, DE, Missouri. Previously: 16 Avg. 28.3 per 13
12/24/25: 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. Young got a DUI arrest and has some character concerns.

17.

Spencer Fano, OT, Utah. Previously: 17 Avg. 8.1 per 19
12/24/25: 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.

Isaiah World, OT, Oregon. Previously: 10 Avg. 11.4 per 19
12/24/25: 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.

19.

Damon Wilson II, DE, Missouri. Previously: 19 Avg. 29.9 per 13
12/24/25: 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. 11.8 per 18
12/24/25: Mateer completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and eight 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 that Mateer is inclined to go back to Oklahoma next season.

21.

Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State. Previously: 31 Avg. 54.1 per 19
12/24/25: In 2025, Styles had 81 tackles, three passes defended, one interception, .5 sacks, and a forced fumble. Styles (6-4, 243) has a lot of talent and started to play up to his potential during the 2024 season. He finished with 100 tackles, six sacks, one forced fumble, and five passes broken up. In 2023, he recorded 53 tackles, two sacks, and one pass batted, plus he has been very good in pass coverage. Styles started out as a safety, but was eventually moved to linebacker. Given his size, he fits best as a linebacker in the NFL. Styles is fast, athletic, and versatile. He could be a valuable zone coverage linebacker who is also a sideline-to-sideline run defender.

22.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville. Previously: 22 Avg. 22.8 per 13
12/24/25: In 2025, Bell had 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns. A late-season torn ACL will probably hurt Bell in the NFL Draft. 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.

23.

Peter Woods, DT, Clemson. Previously: 23 Avg. 20.5 per 19
12/24/25: 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.

Harold Perkins Jr, LB, LSU. Previously: 18 Avg. 18.2 per 19
12/24/25: 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.

25.

Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson. Previously: 21 Avg. 19.4 per 19
12/24/25: 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.
