2026 NFL Draft Big Board

1.

Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama. Previously: 1 Avg. 1 per 2
10/29/25: After Alabama’s rough start to the year in a loss to Florida State, Simpson has been superb, leading the Crimson Tide to six straight wins.In 2025, Simpson has completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,184 yards with 20 touchdowns and an interception. 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.

Spencer Fano, OT, Utah. Previously: 2 Avg. 5.5 per 11
10/29/25: Fano has played well thus far in 2025. 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 said Fano was very impressive when watching him during fall camp.



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.

3.

Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame. Previously: 3 Avg. 4.6 per 11
10/29/25: In 2025, Love has averaged 6.1 yards per carry for 758 yards with nine touchdowns. He has 19 catches for 197 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.

4.

Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn. Previously: 4 Avg. 1.7 per 11
10/29/25: Faulk has 20 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.

5.

Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State. Previously: 5 Avg. 5 per 11
10/29/25: Tyson has57 catches for 628 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).

6.

Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State. Previously: 6 Avg. 3.8 per 11
10/29/25: Downs has 34 tackles with an interception. He was quiet against Texas but had an interception against Gambling.



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.

7.

Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU. Previously: 7 Avg. 13.2 per 11
10/29/25: Delane has 33 tackles with an interception and seven 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.

8.

David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech. Previously: 14 Avg. 16.7 per 7
10/29/25: The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Bailey is a fast edge rusher. In 2024, he recorded 31 tackles with seven sacks and five forced fumbles with Stanford. Thus far in 2025, he has 10.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and 25 tackles. Bailey could be a riser through the 2026 draft process.

9.

Isaiah World, OT, Oregon. Previously: 9 Avg. 12.2 per 11
10/29/25: Team sources say that Worlds looked good in practice during fall camp, and they are eager to see how he handles the tougher competition this season. Thus far, World has been solid. He had a decent outing against Penn State. While he was not bad, he was not dominant and was not overly impressive.

10.

Dante Moore, QB, Oregon. Previously: 10 Avg. 10 per 5
10/29/25: 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 72 percent of his passes for 1,772 yards with 19 touchdowns and four 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.

Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana. Previously: 12 Avg. 17.4 per 5
10/29/25: Mendoza has completed 73 percent of his passes for 1,923 yards with 24 touchdowns and three interceptions. He has two 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.

12.

John Mateer, QB, Oklahoma. Previously: 11 Avg. 7.7 per 10
10/29/25: Mateer has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,790 yards with eight touchdowns, six interceptions, and four 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. It would not surprise this analyst if Mateer ends up rising high for the 2025 NFL Draft.

13.

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington. Previously: 13 Avg. 7.5 per 11
10/29/25: Boston has 44 catches for 668 yards and seven 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: 8 Avg. 14.8 per 11
10/29/25: 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. 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.

Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee. Previously: 15 Avg. 13.7 per 11
10/29/25: McCoy has not played yet this season, but is expected to be back soon.



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.

16.

Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State. Previously: 16 Avg. 16 per 6
10/29/25: Thus far in 2025, Reese has 42 tackles with 5.5 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. In 2024, Reese had 43 tackles with .5 sacks as a rotational backup.

17.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville. Previously: 17 Avg. 30.6 per 5
10/29/25: To open 2025, Bell has 44 catches for 638 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.

18.

Harold Perkins Jr, LB, LSU. Previously: 18 Avg. 17.7 per 11
10/29/25: Perkins played well against Clemson and did a good job as a spy to limit Cade Klubnik. Perkins has 33 tackles, three passes batted, and two sacks. 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.

Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE, Penn State. Previously: 19 Avg. 15.9 per 7
10/29/25: In 2025, Dennis-Sutton has 24 tackles with two sacks, two passes broken up, two forced fumbles, and a blocked punt. Dennis-Sutton (6-5, 272) is a big body at the point of attack, and he has upside with untapped potential. In 2024, he recorded 36 tackles, 6.5 sacks, three passes defended, and a forced fumble. He had 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2023. Dennis-Sutton has day-two ability and could be an impressive tester in pre-draft workouts.

20.

LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina. Previously: 20 Avg. 11 per 11
10/29/25: Sellers has completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,356 yards with six touchdowns passing, three interceptions, two 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.

21.

Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson. Previously: 21 Avg. 17.8 per 11
10/29/25: Terrell has 28 tackles with three forced fumbles, a sack, and seven passes batted.



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. 40.8 per 5
10/29/25: Young has 25 tackles with five sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes batted thus far, but has been among the nation’s leaders in pressures. 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. 18.6 per 11
10/29/25: Woods has 21 tackles with one 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.

Blake Miller, OT, Clemson. Previously: 24 Avg. 22.6 per 11
10/29/25: Miller had a painful missed assignment, but blocked reasonably well against LSU. He has been solid but not dominant for Clemson in 2025.



The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Miller has been a starting tackle for Clemson. He is a good athlete with quickness and agility on the edge. Miller could stand to get stronger and play with more physicality.

25.

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon. Previously: 25 Avg. 25 per 8
10/29/25: Thus far in 2025, Sadiq has 22 catches for 311 yards and five 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.
