Trades

Fernando Mendoza QB, IND

OVR RK: 1 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 236

This was a no-brainer. Mendoza was the best quarterback in college football last season. That was especially the case under pressure and in clutch situations. He’s a perfect fit for Klint Kubiak’s offense. (Mike Renner)

A

David Bailey EDGE, TXTECH

OVR RK: 20 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 250

Bailey is a solid pass-rusher who will give less athletic offensive tackles fits at the next level. He’s a hot and cold run defender, though, who struggles to set the edge. The Jets unfortunately already have one of those in Will McDonald. (Mike Renner)

C-

Jeremiyah Love RB, ND

OVR RK: 7 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 214

Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn’t an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They’ll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length. (Mike Renner)

C+

Carnell Tate WR, OHIOST

OVR RK: 18 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 192

Tate is exactly what the Titans don’t have on their roster: a rangey outside receiver with elite hands and crisp route-running chops. He’ll be a Cam Ward favorite from day one. While he doesn’t fit the physical profile of a usual top-5 pick at receiver, beggars can’t be choosers. (Mike Renner)

B

Arvell Reese EDGE, OHIOST

OVR RK: 3 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 243

The Giants just became the scariest edge-rushing group in the NFL and truthfully it’s not even close. Their third down packages are going to be a true sprint to the quarterback. Reese has special play strength for someone with 4.46 speed. And he’s only scratching the surface at 20-years old. (Mike Renner)

A+

Mansoor Delane CB, LSU

OVR RK: 14 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 187

Delane is the safest pick at corner in this draft class. If you can do what he did in the SEC last season, you can produce in the NFL. It’s more the desperation of having to give up a 3rd-rounder to do so that bumps this down. It’s a position that historically teams have been able to find later in the draft as the Chiefs themselves know well. (Mike Renner)

B-

Sonny Styles LB, OHIOST

OVR RK: 9 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 243

One of the least athletic front-sevens in the NFL a season ago completes their make over with one of the most athletic linebackers in draft history. His ability to cover ground in coverage at his size is nothing short of special. He’ll allow Dan Quinn so much flexibility on the defensive side of the ball. (Mike Renner)

A

Jordyn Tyson WR, ARIZST

OVR RK: 23 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 203

Tyson got the best tape grade from me of all the receivers. His size, movement skills, and body control are that of a number one receiver. And he’s the one receiver in the draft class that was truly treated as such by his offense as Arizona State went his way in every big situation. I can’t give it an A, though, because of his injury history as he missed time in all four of his collegiate seasons. (Mike Renner)

B+

Spencer Fano OT, UTAH

OVR RK: 5 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 311

Fano is the cleanest offensive lineman in the draft class. He pairs high-end athleticism with technical prowess and strong hands. He’s an elite zone blocker who has the size to play anywhere along the offensive line if needed. His arm length may scare some off, but it was never a massive issue for him on tape. (Mike Renner)

A+

Francis Mauigoa OT, MIAMI

OVR RK: 16 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 329

The Giants lock in the missing piece to their starting five with Mauigoa. He’ll kick inside to right guard for now where he’ll be a butt-kicker in the run game. His ability to move people off the line of scrimmage is special for a player who hasn’t even turned 21 yet. Jaxson Dart is somewhere celebrating. (Mike Renner)

A-

Caleb Downs S, OHIOST

OVR RK: 8 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 205

The much maligned Cowboys secondary got a much needed infusion of both talent and leadership. Downs is true do-it-all safety with no true holes in his game. Downs will be able to do anything new defensive coordinator Christian Parker asks him to do on the back end. (Mike Renner)

A

Kadyn Proctor OT, BAMA

OVR RK: 4 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 352

Proctor has most prodigious power in this tackle class with special movement skills for a 350+ pounder. His weight will be worth monitoring, but when he was at his trimmest, Proctor was dominant at the end of the season. He can start inside at guard or stick at tackle. (Mike Renner)

A+

Ty Simpson QB, BAMA

OVR RK: 11 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 211

Simpson showed high-end ability last season before injuries started piling up. He understands how to attack tight windows and play with the anticipation necessary to translate to the NFL. I also think he gets underrated physically as he’s got very light feet in the pocket and an NFL caliber arm. The Rams don’t plan on picking this high until Matthew Stafford retires, and now they have their transition plan. (Mike Renner)

A

Olaivavega Ioane IOL, PSU

OVR RK: 15 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 323

The mock drafts finally nailed one. Ioane is an incredibly clean guard prospect. I’ve described his tape as “boring” repeatedly which is exactly what you want form a guard. He ends pass pro reps before they start with his quick sets and strong anchor. He’s exactly what the Ravens were missing up front. (Mike Renner)

A

Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE, MIAMI

OVR RK: 2 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 263

Bain was the most dominant force in college football last season. He’s can set a hard edge in the run game and collapse pockets with ease. What I love most about his game is that he almost never came off the field for the runner up Hurricanes last year. He fills what was easily the biggest need on the Bucs. (Mike Renner)

A+

Kenyon Sadiq TE, OREG

OVR RK: 24 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 241

The Jets add one of the most explosive tight ends in NFL history to a budding offense. I’m guessing we’ll see a lot of 12 personnel (1-back, 2-tight ends) in New York this season after they took Mason Taylor in the 2nd-round last year. That’s Sadiq’s ideal role, though, as a movable TE2 who can block in space and run past linebackers. He’s still raw as a route-runner, but athletes like him don’t come around every year. (Mike Renner)

B+

Blake Miller OT, CLEM

OVR RK: 29 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 317

Miller is an explosive and experienced offensive tackle who will fit in perfectly with the culture they’ve built in Detroit. This likely confirms Penei Sewell to the left side as Miller was a four-year starter at right tackle. Why I went lower with the grade here is because it felt like the Lions prioritized readiness given their tackle need over best player available. (Mike Renner)

C

Caleb Banks DL, FLA

OVR RK: 92 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 327

Banks is the most prodigious physical talent in this defensive tackle class. At 6-foot-6, 327 pounds with an over 7-foot wingspan, when he fires off low into contact he’s nearly impossible to block. The worry is that we never saw it consistently before his 2025 season was cut short with a foot injury that required surgery. He then had another foot surgery after an injury suffered during the combine week. That’s a big swing for Vikings to take at 18. (Mike Renner)

D

Monroe Freeling OT, UGA

OVR RK: 25 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 315

Freeling is a wild card in this offensive tackle class. That’s because he really only started looking like a first-round tackle for the final few games of 2025. He’s got prototypical left tackle size and athleticism, though, to develop and he goes to a spot where they don’t need him to start right away after the Rasheed Walker signing. (Mike Renner)

B+

Makai Lemon WR, USC

OVR RK: 17 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 192

With AJ Brown’s impending departure, the Eagles get an NFL ready receiver who plays with a similar physicality – even if he doesn’t have Brown’s size. Lemon has very few weaknesses outside of his size and should be able to step into a slot role and be productive from Day 1. (Mike Renner)

A

Max Iheanachor OT, ARIZST

OVR RK: 31 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 321

This is definitely not a win now move, but I like it. Iheanachor has the most intriguing developmental tools in the draft class with truly everything you could want to play the tackle position in the NFL. And the kicker: he only started playing football five years ago. For the Steelers, they won’t need necessarily need him to start year one with Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu already set at tackle. (Mike Renner)

B+

Akheem Mesidor EDGE, MIAMI

OVR RK: 30 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 259

Mesidor’s tape this past fall was top-10 pick worthy. He was truly dominant vs. both run and pass. The problem is he doesn’t quite have top-10 tools and at 25-years old is one of the oldest position players after drafted in the first round. The Chargers need the help ASAP, though, and Mesidor will bring that. (Mike Renner)

B+

Malachi Lawrence LB, UCF

OVR RK: 52 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 253

Lawrence has the highest-end tools in this edge-class after the players that went top-5. HIs explosiveness is all over his tape. He’s undoubtedly a project, though, who flashed more on reps than he did for long stretches of time. What worries me about this pick was his lack of awareness in the run game which was already an issue for the Cowboys edges last year. (Mike Renner)

C

KC Concepcion WR, TXAM

OVR RK: 12 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 196

Concepcion was the best separator in the entire draft class. He can win with speed, wiggle, and physicality at times. He can play on both the outside or slot for the Browns and has even taken 68 handoffs in his career. The only issue is a 9.3% career drop rate. If his hands improve, the Browns got a steal. (Mike Renner)

A+

Dillon Thieneman S, OREG

OVR RK: 47 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 201

Thieneman is exactly the kind of player the Bears were looking for this offseason: a deep safety with range. Thieneman had eight picks and 11 pass-breakups in his college career to go along with 4.35 speed. He’ll be a day one starter for Chicago. (Mike Renner)

B

Keylan Rutledge IOL, GATECH

OVR RK: 36 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 316

Rutledge fits exactly what the Texans offense morphed into down the stretch last season. He’s a hard-nosed guard who you’ll never have to worry about playing through the whistle. He’s a people mover at the point of attack and physical in pass protection. The Texans get a building-block piece to protect C.J. Stroud. (Mike Renner)

A-

Chris Johnson CB, SDGST

OVR RK: 27 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 195

The Dolphins just got another cornerstone piece at pick 27. Johnson’s tape was incredibly clean last fall as he dominated the Mountain West. The cherry on top was his Senior Bowl performance where, in my opinion, he was the most impressive cornerback in attendance. Miami agreed. While Johnson doesn’t “wow” physically, he impresses in his reliability and technical prowess. (Mike Renner)

A

Caleb Lomu OT, UTAH

OVR RK: 13 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 308

To get a tackle with Lomu’s tape in pass protection at 28 overall is nothing short of a steal. He falls here because he needs to get stronger, more consistent, and to play more with an edge, but he goes to a great spot to develop him in all three of those areas. He has special feet and hand usage on tape to be their future starting tackle. (Mike Renner)

A+

Peter Woods DL, CLEM

OVR RK: 19 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 298

With Chris Jones turning 32 this offseason, the Chiefs nab his successor in Peter Woods. He’s a quintessential 3-technique with an incredible blend of explosiveness and play strength. He falls to this point in the draft because of lackluster tape this past fall compared to 2024, but now he gets to learn from the best in the business on how to rush the passer. (Mike Renner)

A+

Omar Cooper Jr. WR, IND

OVR RK: 21 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 199

What a special receiving corps the Jets are building. Cooper is the exact skillset they were missing in that unit. A rugged receiver who can consistently make tough catches over the middle of the field and create after the catch. To get both him and Kenyon Sadiq in this draft will make Geno Smith’s job a lot easier this fall. (Mike Renner)

A+

Keldric Faulk EDGE, AUBURN

OVR RK: 46 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 276

The Titans complete the overhaul of their non-existent edge-room from a season ago with one of the draft’s best run defenders. Faulk has the length to be a hard edge-setter across from Jermaine Johnson in the Titans defense. He also has the body type that can kick inside to rush the passer as well. He’ll need some development as a true rusher, but he offers intriguing tools in that regard. (Mike Renner)

B+

Jadarian Price RB, ND

OVR RK: 62 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 203

Price is not only the best back available, he’s the only one if you want a true starter based on my evaluations of this class. For that reason it felt like a necessity for the Super Bowl champs who lost Kenneth Walker this offseason. Price has tremendous vision and runs decisively. His learning curve will be minimal when translating to the league. (Mike Renner)

B-

De’Zhaun Stribling WR, MISS

OVR RK: 120 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 207

The 49ers tab Stribling as their Jauan Jennings replacement. He’s one of the better blockers in the class and will do the dirty work in the offense. Stribling will add more of a vertical element than Jennings did as well. The Ole Miss receiver just isn’t near the route-runner than Jennings was in the offense. (Mike Renner)

C+

Chase Bisontis IOL, TXAM

OVR RK: 39 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

After taking Jeremiyah Love in round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option. (Mike Renner)

A

T.J. Parker EDGE, CLEM

OVR RK: 75 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 263

The Bills were in desperate need of pass-rushing help and add just that at the top of round-2. Parker is a physical edge-rusher who’s been a plus run defender and pocket-collapser since Day 1 at Clemson. He would have gone much higher than this after his sophomore year, but his lackluster 2025 tape drops him to Round 1. (Mike Renner)

B-

Kayden McDonald DL, OHIOST

OVR RK: 32 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 326

If there was any weakness on this Texans defense, well, it just got fixed. McDonald is nothing short of an elite run-defending nose tackle prospect. His ability to envelope double teams and make plays in the run game will allow DeMeco Ryans to dedicate more resources to the back end in coverage – a scary thought. (Mike Renner)

A+

Colton Hood CB, TENN

OVR RK: 59 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 195

New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson gets himself one of the better press-corners in the class. Hood is physical at the line of scrimmage and has top end speed to make up ground deep. While he can get a little overly aggressive, he’s still one of the younger corners in the class only just turning 21 with room for development. (Mike Renner)

B+

Treydan Stukes CB, ARIZ

OVR RK: 35 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 190

Stukes was college football’s top slot corner in coverage last season. He has the length and athleticism to play man as well as the quick processing for zone. He could end up at either slot, outside corner, or safety for Las Vegas – that’s how versatile he is. A tremendous influx of talent for a secondary in need. (Mike Renner)

A

Denzel Boston WR, WASH

OVR RK: 45 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 210

The Browns double up at receiver a year after doubling up at running back. It’s an indictment of their current room, for sure, but also indicative of the loaded receiver class. Boston is a distinctly different type of receiver from KC Concepcion as he’s more of a possession receiver with a big wingspan and catch radius. He also has some of the best hands in the entire class. (Mike Renner)

A

R Mason Thomas EDGE, OKLA

OVR RK: 37 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 241

Thomas represents a distinct departure from the bigger bodied edges that Steve Spagnuolo has coveted in the past and I like it. He’s a speed rusher who already has one of the more refined toolboxes in this class. He may not be much of a run defender, but the Chiefs won’t have to use him on run downs to get their money’s worth. (Mike Renner)

A

Cashius Howell EDGE, TXAM

OVR RK: 33 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 253

If you can do what Howell did this past season to SEC tackles, you can rush the passer in the NFL. Short arms be damned. He’s a twitchy mover who sets up tackles with his pacing extremely well. He goes to the perfect spot in a Cincinnati team that needs edge-rushing help and can also afford to let him be a specialist. (Mike Renner)

A+

Christen Miller DL, UGA

OVR RK: 56 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 321

Miller is one of the safer run defenders in the class. He has prototypical 3-4 defensive end traits although he could probably even kick into nose if you really wanted him too. He may never be an elite pass-rusher, but he can at least walk back guards occasionally. (Mike Renner)

B+

Jacob Rodriguez LB, TXTECH

OVR RK: 55 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 231

The Dolphins continue their strategy of drafting high-floor football players. Rodriguez was the best linebacker in all of college football last season. He may not have the prototypical frame, but he’s got great range and has the best instincts in the class. He’ll be an extension of Jeff Hafley on the field. (Mike Renner)

A

Derrick Moore EDGE, MICH

OVR RK: 72 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 255

Moore is nothing if not a culture fit for the Lions. The man treats every rep like he’s upset at the offensive lineman in front of him. While he’s a middling athlete, he maximizes his traits through sheer force and effort. (Mike Renner)

A-

Zion Young EDGE, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 99 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 262

Young is somewhat reminiscent of former Missouri defensive end Darius Robinson in that he’s a bit of a tweener. He’s a jumbo defensive end, but his athletic testing numbers are closer to that of a defensive tackle. The problem is we never really saw him play on the interior in college. He’ll at minimum be a hard edge-setter who can spell Trey Hendrickson on early downs. (Mike Renner)

C+

Josiah Trotter LB, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 41 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 237

Trotter is the perfect linebacker for Todd Bowles defense. He’s a tremendous blitzer who plays on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage better than any other linebacker in this draft class. The Bucs front seven just got a couple of butt-kickers. (Mike Renner)

A

Germie Bernard WR, BAMA

OVR RK: 40 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 204

If the Steelers wanted to come away with a tackle and receiver in this class, they did about as good as they could have expected given their draft capital. Bernard is a nuanced route-runenr who can create on his own after the catch. While he lacks the juice to be a true downfield weapon, he can get open at the intermediate level consistently. (Mike Renner)

A+

Avieon Terrell CB, CLEM

OVR RK: 10 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 180

The Terrell brothers are reunited once again. I say again, but being six years apart they’ve likely never played on the same team until now. Avieon is the shorter, scrappier version of his brother AJ. He has the same smooth coverage skills with a little more of an edge that comes from being the younger brother. (Mike Renner)

A+

Lee Hunter DL, TXTECH

OVR RK: 28 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 318

Hunter was the best playmaker in this defensive tackle class last season. He’s a violent shedder one-on-one and his range in the run game is special for a man his size. While he doesn’t eat double teams exceptionally well, the Panthers have Derrick Brown for that. (Mike Renner)

A+

D’Angelo Ponds CB, IND

OVR RK: 26 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 5-9 • WT: 182

This one was written in the stars. Ponds is a carbon copy at corner of Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. He’s the smallest corner drafted top-50 since Glenn himself went 12th overall in 1994. Ponds has a dog mentality and doesn’t back down from anyone. The only receiver that really “got” him in his three years as a starter was Jeremiah Smith and he gets everyone. (Mike Renner)

A+

Jake Golday LB, CINCY

OVR RK: 38 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 240

Golday went to the perfect scheme for his skillset. He’s a former edge-rusher who moved off-ball at Cincinnati. He can range sideline-to-sideline while still looking like an edge-rusher. His pass-rushing prowess will be perfect for Brian Flores’s scheme. (Mike Renner)

A

Brandon Cisse CB, SC

OVR RK: 51 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 190

Cisse is one of the most explosive movers in this corner class. His ability to click-and-close is special. He goes to the perfect defense for his skillset with how much off-zone coverage the Packers ask from their corners. Cisse is also one of the youngest players in the entire draft class and hasn’t yet turned 21-years old. (Mike Renner)

A-

CJ Allen LB, UGA

OVR RK: 48 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 230

The Colts had a desperate need at linebacker and they get arguably the most physical one in the class. Allen is a thumper in every sense of the word who’ll be a tone-setter for Lou Anaruomo’s defense on Day 1. (Mike Renner)

A

Eli Stowers TE, VANDY

OVR RK: 91 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 239

This is a big swing of the bat for the Eagles under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. It’s an indication that they’re going to be a little more creative in personnel deployment than years past as Stowers is a movable chess piece TE2. The biggest worry with the pick is that he’s a really poor blocker still and is very much a tweener at 239 pounds. (Mike Renner)

B

Gabe Jacas EDGE, ILL

OVR RK: 34 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 260

Jacas is well-rounded pass-rusher who only added more tools to his toolbox every season. He’s a former wrestler and you see that with the twitch in his hands. That’s a recipe for a productive edge-rusher in the NFL. (Mike Renner)

A

Nate Boerkircher TE, TXAM

OVR RK: 86 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 245

This one feels like a misappropriation of value even if I think Boerkircher is a very solid all-around tight end. He’s one of the better blockers in the class with reliable hands and separation ability underneath. Still, he’ll be a 25-year old rookie and backup to Brenton Strange. (Mike Renner)

C

Logan Jones IOL, IOWA

OVR RK: 145 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 299

I had three centers on my board considerably higher than Jones that were all good scheme fits for Ben Johnson’s offense. Jones’s ability to run outside zone is why he comes off the board here, but you’re going to consistently give up a lot in pass protection with him in the middle. (Mike Renner)

D+

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren S, TOLEDO

OVR RK: 22 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 202

McNeil-Warren is the best box safety prospect in the draft class. His violence as a hitter caused 11 forced fumbles over his career. I love how fluid he is tracking in space or in man coverage against tight ends. The Browns continue to rack up immediate impact starters in the draft. (Mike Renner)

A+

Marlin Klein TE, MICH

OVR RK: 185 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 250

The most head-scratching pick of the entire draft so far. The Texans not only have a ton of recently drafted tight ends on their roster, but they also have Dalton Schultz and the recently signed Foster Moreau. Klein might be a little intriguing given how new he is to football, but he’s a bit too stiff to be called a developmental route-runner. (Mike Renner)

D-

Anthony Hill Jr. LB, TEXAS

OVR RK: 57 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 238

Robert Saleh has turned numerous high-end athletes in productive linebackers in his career and Hill looks like he’ll be the next one. No one after Sonny Styles in this linebacker class has better tools at the position. He’s a smooth all-around athlete who can really roll. He just needs to improve his read-and-react ability. (Mike Renner)

A-

Max Klare TE, OHIOST

OVR RK: 67 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 246

Klare is the most natural receiver at tight end in the draft class. He’s a smooth route-runner who makes it look easy catching outside his frame. While I know the Rams are majoring in 3-tight ends sets right now, I’m not sure what skillset Klare offers that’s not on the roster and that’s keeping this from an A-grade. (Mike Renner)

B+

Davison Igbinosun CB, OHIOST

OVR RK: 170 • POS RK: 20 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 189

Igbinosun is a press-corner who is at his best in zone coverage. He’s a reliable tackler with a big wingspan to continue to be one in the NFL. I just saw a limited coverage athlete who’s going to struggle against speedier receivers at the next level. (Mike Renner)

C+

Jake Slaughter IOL, FLA

OVR RK: 110 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 303

This is an interesting pick given Slaughter looked like a center only on tape and the Charger just signed center Tyler Biadasz to a 3-year, $30-million deal this offseason. Slaughter’s ability to play on the move is perfect for Mike McDaniel’s scheme, but by the time Biadasz’s contract expires, will McDaniel still even be their OC? (Mike Renner)

C+

Bud Clark S, TCU

OVR RK: 76 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 190

If there was any safety in this draft class outside of the first-round that you would want replacing Coby Bryant’s role in their defense, it’s Clark. He’s a tremendous and versatile coverage player even if he’s not going to be a guy you want around the box. The good news is Seattle doesn’t need anymore help in the box. (Mike Renner)

A

Carson Beck QB, MIAMI

OVR RK: 202 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 225

This feels like a relative slap in the face to Cardinals fans. Your offseason investment at the most valuable position is a 24-year old with limited tools after you’ve taken a running back and a guard. Is this guy really going toe-to-toe with Matt Stafford or Sam Darnold in that division? It feels like when the Texans drafted Davis Mills 67th in 2021. I’d rather they passed on quarterback entirely and prayed for a better crop of quarterbacks in 2027. (Mike Renner)

D

Tyler Onyedim DL, TXAM

OVR RK: 112 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 295

Onyedim is an explosive, long, and physical defensive tackle. While’s he’s not a pure one-to-one replacement for Jonathan Franklin-Myers, he can fill a similar role in a defense. The only worry is a lack of pass-rushing prowess, but he can be more of a scheme rusher on stunts and slants. (Mike Renner)

B-

Keyron Crawford EDGE, AUBURN

OVR RK: 54 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 255

Crawford has some of the most intriguing developmental pass-rushing tools in this class and we already saw big-time improvement in that regard from 2024 to 2025 on tape. He’s a twitchy mover who should be able to carve out a 3rd-down role immediately. (Mike Renner)

A

Markel Bell OT, MIAMI

OVR RK: 90 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-9 • WT: 345

The Eagles snag the tallest tackle in the draft to continue their theme of having the most imposing offensive line in the NFL off the bus. It’s amazing how well Bell moves for someone over 6-foot-9 and nearly 350-pounds. He’s a great developmental option at this point. (Mike Renner)

B+

Sam Roush TE, STNFRD

OVR RK: 104 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 260

Roush is one of the best blocking tight ends in the draft. At nearly 270-pounds, he can legitimately go toe-to-toe with NFL defensive ends. This gives the Bears now easily the best run-blocking trio of tight ends in the NFL. (Mike Renner)

A

Romello Height EDGE, TXTECH

OVR RK: 78 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 240

The 49ers had the fewest sacks in the NFL last season. That’s hopefully changing with Height. He’s an NFL-ready pass-rusher who has a lot of different refined moves at his disposal. At only 239-pounds, though, he’s a pass-rush only guy who won’t be on the field for run downs. (Mike Renner)

A

Antonio Williams WR, CLEM

OVR RK: 42 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 187

Williams is an NFL-ready route-runner who’s reliability is his calling card. While he was a slot only at Clemson, he showed the ability to be more versatile than that in the NFL. (Mike Renner)

A+

Tacario Davis CB, WASH

OVR RK: 147 • POS RK: 17 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 200

Davis is a long corner who’s at his best shutting down routes before the start. He’s a bit up and down on tape, but his length and speed gives him a lot of leeway. He’s a true outside corner which means Dax Hill is likely to be kicked inside to the slot. (Mike Renner)

B-

Oscar Delp TE, UGA

OVR RK: 121 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 245

Everyone is getting their TE2s and TE3s in the top-75 this year it seems. Delp is the perfect TE2 for a Kellen Moore offense for two big reasons. He’s a great blocker on the move which is where he’ll be utilized as the detached tight end and he’s got 4.5 speed that will be a weapon coming across the formation on play action. (Mike Renner)

B+

Malachi Fields WR, ND

OVR RK: 63 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 218

The Giants missed out on their big-bodied receiver in the top-10, but secure a darn good one now. Fields was the best receiver in the one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl where he showed outstanding fluidity for a big wide out. I see him filling more of a slot/Rashee Rice role in Matt Nagy’s offense than the outside role he had at Notre Dame. (Mike Renner)

A

Caleb Douglas WR, TXTECH

OVR RK: 312 • POS RK: 47 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 206

This is easily one of the biggest reaches of the draft so far, not only on my board, but also the consensus board where he was outside the top-200. Douglas has some speed, but he gets pushed around far too easily on tape and his hands are suspect through contact. (Mike Renner)

D+

Drew Allar QB, PSU

OVR RK: 157 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 235

Allar is the perfect quarterback in this class to take for Mike McCarthy to develop. He’s got the size, the arm, and the feet to evade pressure in the pocket. Unfortunately, he’s never had the accuracy. Can Mike McCarthy fix that? If the new head coach can, Allar can start in the NFL. (Mike Renner)

B

Chris McClellan DL, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 80 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 313

The Packers first two picks come off the board at nearly identical spots to where they’re ranked on my board so I tacitly approve. They needed a nose tackle so badly and McClellan has the traits to be a good one. His high-end reps are very impressive with how flexible he is with his lower half. He just needs to be more consistent. (Mike Renner)

A-

A.J. Haulcy S, LSU

OVR RK: 64 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 215

This is the Nick Cross replacement if I’ve ever seen one. Haulcy is an outstanding box safety who can be Lou Anarumo’s version of Vonn Bell in Indy. (Mike Renner)

A

Zachariah Branch WR, UGA

OVR RK: 74 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 5-9 • WT: 177

The Falcons may not have added much size in this draft, but they added attitude. Branch is a rocked up slot receiver who can make plays with the ball in his hands. While he has a relatively small catch radius, he’s willing to go over the middle of the field and make plays in traffic. (Mike Renner)

A

Ja’Kobi Lane WR, USC

OVR RK: 119 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 200

The Ravens wanted an infusion of size in their receiving corps this offseason and get it with Lane. I see Lane as a project which is why he falls to this point in the draft, but he has unique movement skills for a 6-foot-4 receiver. (Mike Renner)

B-

Albert Regis DL, TXAM

OVR RK: 140 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 317

I thought the Jaguars might try to add some pass-rushing juice to the interior of the defense in this draft, but that’s not really the case with Regis. His 13 pressures this past season were a career high. No, he’s more of just a solid run-defender to add to their interior rotation. (Mike Renner)

C+

Domonique Orange DL, IOWAST

OVR RK: 89 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 322

Orange is the perfect penetrating nose tackle for a scheme like the Vikings where gap control is secondary to havoc creation. That’s what he’s uniquely capable of doing for a 322 pounder. (Mike Renner)

B+

Chris Brazzell II WR, TENN

OVR RK: 84 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 198

Brazzell is one of the most talented receivers in this draft class. The explosiveness and fluidity for a 6-foot-4 receiver is nothing short of rare. He just is rail thin and built more like someone that should be on hardwood instead of turf. (Mike Renner)

A-

Ted Hurst WR, GAST

OVR RK: 155 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 195

Hurst is their best swing at replacing Mike Evans. At 6-foot-4, 206 pounds with 4.42 speed, Hurst is an outside receiver that can win on the vertical tree. I just see him as a massive project in his route-running, but coming from a small school there’s hope that can improve. (Mike Renner)

B-

Daylen Everette CB, UGA

OVR RK: 81 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 196

Everette has some of the best man cover traits in the entire draft class. Long arms, 4.38 speed, and fluid hips – it’s all there. He just never grew into a consistent player over his four years at Georgia. (Mike Renner)

A

Austin Barber OT, FLA

OVR RK: 85 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 318

The Browns add more tackle depth with Barber who’s one of the more consistent run-blockers in this tackle class. I actually believe that even at 6-foot-7, Barber’s best position in the NFL may come at guard. He’s got great flexibility for a man that tall that would allow him to go toe-to-toe with squattier defensive tackles and it would protect his foot speed issues on the edge. (Mike Renner)

A-

Will Kacmarek TE, OHIOST

OVR RK: 129 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 261

Kacmarek was my favorite blocking tight end in the draft class. That’s all you’re getting, but my word is he a physical blocker. (Mike Renner)

B

Emmanuel Pregnon IOL, OREG

OVR RK: 65 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 314

The Jaguars get one of the most physically imposing offensive linemen in the draft class. There’s not much body fat on the 314-pounder. He can really move people in the run game and provide firm pockets in pass protection. (Mike Renner)

A

Zavion Thomas WR, LSU

OVR RK: 197 • POS RK: 30 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 192

I think we’ve reached the “we’re drafting kick returners” portion of the draft. Thomas is far from a complete receiver, but his 4.28 speed will be put to good use in Ben Johnson’s offense. (Mike Renner)

C+

Kaelon Black RB, IND

OVR RK: 296 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 211

I’ll say this about Black, the man runs HARD. He runs like he’s mad at the ground. He’s just a much older prospect who’ll be a 25-year old rookie. He’s also limited athletically and struggles to change directions efficiently. (Mike Renner)

D+

Trey Zuhn III IOL, TXAM

OVR RK: 49 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 312

Zuhn is going to be a perfect fit for Klint Kubiak’s running scheme. He’s one of the better blockers on the move in this offensive line class and has some of the best hands in pass protection. He has the body type to start anywhere the Raiders need him on the offensive line. (Mike Renner)

A+

Jaishawn Barham LB, MICH

OVR RK: 66 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 240

The Cowboys got their pass-downs edge in round one and now they get their run-downs edge in round three. Barham is one of the most physical players in the entire class who loves throwing his body around in the box. (Mike Renner)

A

Keagen Trost IOL, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 88 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 311

Trost’s tape was incredibly clean last year at right tackle Missouri. He falls to here, though, because he’s already 25-years old and is a limited athlete. The Rams have been taking offensive linemen in a similar archetype in recent years. (Mike Renner)

A

Chris Bell WR, LVILLE

OVR RK: 114 • POS RK: 17 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 220

The Dolphins obviously wanted to add some size to their receiving room and now they get one of the biggest receivers in the draft. At 6-foot-2, 222 pounds, Bell beat up corners on tape last season. He unfortunately tore his ACL late in the year, though, putting his availability as a rookie in jeopardy. (Mike Renner)

A-

Eli Raridon TE, ND

OVR RK: 148 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 245

The tight end run continues with Raridon. He’s a rocked up 245-pounds who can be an impact blocker at that size. He’s got speed to get vertical, but struggles to create separation on his own consistently. (Mike Renner)

B

Gennings Dunker IOL, IOWA

OVR RK: 166 • POS RK: 20 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 319

Dunker is widely-built offensive tackle who’ll likely kick inside to guard at the next level. He can really drive defenders off the ball in the run game when he locks in. I worry about his play in space and balance issues I saw on tape. (Mike Renner)

B-

Caleb Tiernan OT, NWEST

OVR RK: 53 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-8 • WT: 323

Tiernan is the Day 2 swing tackle that I would trust the most to start tomorrow in the NFL. That’s exactly what the Vikings need after their injury woes last season. (Mike Renner)

A

Jakobe Thomas S, MIAMI

OVR RK: 209 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 211

Thomas is a crazy explosive athlete who plays with no fear. He’s going to attack what he sees. He’s just a really rough tackler out in space. (Mike Renner)

C+

Julian Neal CB, ARK

OVR RK: 113 • POS RK: 15 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 203

Neal is a big, physical, and ascending corner. He was at his best in zone coverage and as a tackler last season. I thought he could even be an interesting safety convert at his size ala his new teammate Julian Love. (Mike Renner)

B+

100

Jalen Huskey S, MD

OVR RK: 230 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 196

Husky has played both corner and safety throughout his career and the Jaguars obviously coveted that versatility. He’s probably too limited of an athlete to stick at corner full-time in the NFL, though. (Mike Renner)

C+

101

Jermod McCoy CB, TENN

OVR RK: 6 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 188

McCoy is one of the ten best prospects in this draft class, but the medicals caused him to slide. The Raiders determined that the fourth round was the point where they were comfortable taking the risk. (Josh Edwards)

A+

102

Jude Bowry OT, BC

OVR RK: 131 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 314

Bowry is a big, powerful offensive lineman who brings versatility to Buffalo’s offensive line after the team lost David Edwards in free agency. His better tape may have been in 2024. (Josh Edwards)

A

103

Darrell Jackson Jr. DL, FSU

OVR RK: 195 • POS RK: 23 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 315

Jackson’s final season in Tallahassee did not live up to the hype but there could be some untapped potential for Aaron Glenn and Co. Jackson can get upfield quickly as the team rebuilds its defense. (Josh Edwards)

B

104

Kaleb Proctor DL, SELOU

OVR RK: 71 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 291

Proctor has some serious potential as an interior rusher, but he’s a bit undersized and can get washed out of run fits. Arizona will be able to get after teams with Walter Nolen and Proctor on the field together on passing downs. (Josh Edwards)

B

105

Brenen Thompson WR, MISSST

OVR RK: 50 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 5-9 • WT: 164

Thompson has some serious speed and will be able to create separation, but lacks the size. (Josh Edwards)

C+

106

Febechi Nwaiwu IOL, OKLA

OVR RK: 134 • POS RK: 15 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 319

Nwaiwu brings some versatility to the offensive line, but there were better players at his position on the board. Houston continues re-making its offensive line. (Josh Edwards)

C-

107

Gracen Halton DL, OKLA

OVR RK: 77 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 292

The league apparently got together and determined this is where the upfield charging defensive tackles should be taken. Halton comes off the board shortly after Kaleb Proctor. San Francisco wasn’t happy with its interior play last year and has addressed it in a big way (Josh Edwards)

C+

108

Jonah Coleman RB, WASH

OVR RK: 128 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 5-8 • WT: 220

Coleman is only the fourth running back to be taken in a historically down draft for the position. Denver adds to the room for the second consecutive year after taking R.J. Harvey a year ago. (Josh Edwards)

B+

109

Jadon Canady CB, OREG

OVR RK: 82 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 181

Canady is an aggressive, versatile defensive back who often finds himself around the football. Kansas City is obviously having to replace Trent McDuffie and other lost pieces in that secondary. (Josh Edwards)

B-

110

Cade Klubnik QB, CLEM

OVR RK: 227 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 210

Klubnik actually became underrated over the course of the process. He was never a first-round prospect, which put people in a position to talk him down. He can be an efficient processor as the Jets chase stability from the position. (Josh Edwards)

B+

111

Kage Casey IOL, BOISE

OVR RK: 189 • POS RK: 24 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 310

Casey was announced as a tackle, but he has the capability to kick inside to guard like former Boise State Bronco Ezra Cleveland before him. Casey is a personal favorite at this stage. (Josh Edwards)

A

112

Drew Shelton OT, PSU

OVR RK: 171 • POS RK: 17 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 313

Shelton is an athletic player with a relatively high floor in terms of technical refinement. Dallas has historically done well drafting and developing offensive linemen, so this is a good spot for him to reach that potential. (Josh Edwards)

A-

113

Jalen Farmer IOL, UK

OVR RK: 111 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 318

Farmer is a powerful interior player who will lean on defenders in the run game and create roadways for Jonathan Taylor. He has the athleticism to improve in the pass game as well. Good developmental player landing in a place who has done well developing offensive linemen. (Josh Edwards)

B+

114

Devin Moore CB, FLA

OVR RK: 115 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 198

Moore is a really skilled, long boundary cornerback. The potential is really high at this stage of the draft. Dallas is targeting athletic traits early Day 3. (Josh Edwards)

B+

115

Elijah Sarratt WR, IND

OVR RK: 101 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 210

Baltimore has chased size at the position in complement of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, but they had done it with veterans to this point. Sarratt would be a power forward on the basketball court playing above the rim and that’s the skill set he brings to the Ravens offense. (Josh Edwards)

B+

116

Keionte Scott S, MIAMI

OVR RK: 68 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 193

Scott is an older prospect, but a prospect who is physical over the middle of the field. Tampa Bay has a few of those slot types, but the franchise has done well finding places for versatile defensive backs and putting them in a position to succeed. (Josh Edwards)

B

117

Travis Burke OT, MEMP

OVR RK: 79 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-9 • WT: 315

Burke was a late riser in the process and was a candidate to be taken on Day 2. Burke is a bit raw, but has the athletic skill set to be a starter one day in the NFL. (Josh Edwards)

B

118

Jimmy Rolder LB, MICH

OVR RK: 103 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 240

Rolder is a personal favorite in this draft class and he gets an opportunity to stay close to home. He is a smart player capable of playing sideline to sideline, but sometimes gets stuck on blocks in the box. (Josh Edwards)

B+

119

Wesley Williams EDGE, DUKE

OVR RK: 356 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 256

At this stage of the draft boards vary heavily and Williams is a good example. Although I was not as big a fan of him as some in the league, Jacksonville is not asking him to be a primary piece to its pass rush operation. Instead, he is part of a rotation that already features Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. (Josh Edwards)

C

120

Dani Dennis-Sutton EDGE, PSU

OVR RK: 108 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 256

Athletic and productive is the profile on Dennis-Sutton. He should have been gone much sooner as a player who can set the edge, but his availability is to Green Bay’s advantage. (Josh Edwards)

A-

121

Kaden Wetjen WR, IOWA

OVR RK: 315 • POS RK: 48 • HT: 5-9 • WT: 193

Wetjen’s selection is a perfect opportunity to remind everyone that this stage of the draft is used to address multiple objectives. Wetjen has ample experience in the return and provides special teams value for a team that already has its top three receivers entrenched. (Josh Edwards)

C

122

Mike Washington Jr. RB, ARK

OVR RK: 152 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 228

Washington is a bigger body who breaks down defenders better than his size would indicate. There is three down ability for this player and Washington could be the thunder to Ashton Jeanty’s lightning. (Josh Edwards)

A

123

Wade Woodaz LB, CLEM

OVR RK: 223 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 236

Woodaz is a really smart player who began the year as a top 100 prospect, but fell into the bucket of the underperforming Clemson defense. If anyone can help him reach that potential, it is former linebacker DeMeco Ryans. (Josh Edwards)

B

124

Malik Muhammad CB, TEXAS

OVR RK: 93 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 182

Chicago is a team that seems to view the position in a similar light, because they always find cornerbacks I like. Muhammad is good value at this stage and can help replace Nahshon Wright. (Josh Edwards)

B+

125

Skyler Bell WR, UCONN

OVR RK: 136 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 185

In my fourth round mock draft, I had the Bills taking Bell at No. 126 overall. He is depth, but also a missing piece to the collection assembled. (Josh Edwards)

B

126

Kaleb Elarms-Orr LB, TCU

OVR RK: 137 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 234

Buffalo is just checking boxes of its list of needs to address in this draft class. It will be a competitive position battle in training camp with the likes of Terrel Benard and Dorian Williams. (Josh Edwards)

C+

127

Carver Willis OT, WASH

OVR RK: 98 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 303

While preparing for Day 3 of the NFL Draft, I perused recent drafts and players who have been successful at this stage of the festivities. San Francisco had multiple starting offensive linemen found on Day 3. Willis could be next. (Josh Edwards)

B-

128

Connor Lew IOL, AUBURN

OVR RK: 43 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 310

Lew was arguably the best prospect available. He was my favorite center in the class prior to his injury. Cincinnati may have found its center of the future in the fourth round. (Josh Edwards)

A

129

Will Lee III CB, TXAM

OVR RK: 163 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 189

Lee brings length to the Panthers secondary. Carolina has significantly invested in the defense this offseason and that continues. (Josh Edwards)

B-

130

Trey Moore LB, TEXAS

OVR RK: 213 • POS RK: 20 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 243

Moore is a prospect who was deserving of more steam throughout the process. He has versatility and pass rush potential. (Josh Edwards)

B

131

Genesis Smith S, ARIZ

OVR RK: 61 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 204

Safety was a point of emphasis for Los Angeles in this draft. He was a ball hawk on the back end of that Arizona secondary. Half of the globe will be covered by Derwin James and the other half belongs to Smith. (Josh Edwards)

B

132

Jeremiah Wright IOL, AUBURN

OVR RK: 168 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 331

Wright was a bit sloppy in pass protection last season, but created displacement in the run game. New Orleans lost some depth in free agency and are re-stocking the cupboard. (Josh Edwards)

C+

133

Matthew Hibner TE, SMU

OVR RK: 239 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 251

Hibner spent the early part of his collegiate career buried behind some really talented Michigan tight ends before transferring to SMU. He is built like an NFL tight end and has a really well-rounded skill set. Baltimore is likely envisioning him as a Charlie Kolar, Isaiah Likely replacement. (Josh Edwards)

C

134

Kendal Daniels LB, OKLA

OVR RK: 293 • POS RK: 30 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 242

Daniels is a player without a position. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will have to be creative in how he is used, but there could be some special teams value here. (Josh Edwards)

D

135

Bryce Boettcher LB, OREG

OVR RK: 226 • POS RK: 23 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 232

Boettcher is a personal favorite in this class. As a centerfielder for the Oregon baseball team, he has legitimate range. Although a bit undersized, he plays the game 100 miles per hour. The idea of Boettcher in Lou Anarumo’s defense is fun. (Josh Edwards)

A-

136

Bryce Lance WR, NDST

OVR RK: 154 • POS RK: 25 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 209

Lance has legitimate play-making ability and size. I like this pick for New Orleans to build out some depth and give themselves options for Tyler Shough. (Josh Edwards)

A-

137

LT Overton DL, BAMA

OVR RK: 196 • POS RK: 24 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 274

Overton has prototypical size for the position but never became the effective pass rusher many anticipated. He is the third edge rusher drafted by the team this year to go along with Rashan Gary and Donovan Ezeiruaku. It will be interesting to see how it all fits together. (Josh Edwards)

B+

138

Kyle Louis LB, PITT

OVR RK: 60 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 220

Louis is a versatile defender who was announced as a linebacker, but will offer flexibility playing in space if used appropriately. There is a lot of special teams value also. (Josh Edwards)

B-

139

Ephesians Prysock CB, WASH

OVR RK: 70 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 210

Washington is a long cornerback landing on a team who historically gives Day 3 defensive backs an opportunity to compete. He is a little stiff in coverage, but Upton Stout and those safeties will be there to deliver punishment over the middle of the field. (Josh Edwards)

B-

140

Colbie Young WR, UGA

OVR RK: 133 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 218

Cincinnati returns to the Georgia receiver well after recently selecting Jermaine Burton, who began his career with the Bulldogs. The hope is that this plan goes a bit more smoothly than it had for Burton. Young is a long athlete to play on the perimeter. (Josh Edwards)

C+

141

Kamari Ramsey S, USC

OVR RK: 139 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 202

Ramsey is an instinctual safety who will sometimes gamble and find himself out of position, but he looks the part of a Texans safety. Good value for Houston. (Josh Edwards)

B+

142

Fernando Carmona IOL, ARK

OVR RK: 162 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 316

Carmona has played multiple positions in his collegiate career so there is some versatility. Versatility is important when teams carry just a few backups on the active roster during the season, but have to account for the possibility of injury. (Josh Edwards)

C

143

Reggie Virgil WR, TXTECH

OVR RK: 179 • POS RK: 29 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 190

Virgil was likely a victim of a strong receiver class. He had been thought of as a potential Day 2 prospect, but there were so many options that he got pushed down the board. Arizona has a lot of tall targets in the offense. (Josh Edwards)

B

144

Sam Hecht IOL, KSTATE

OVR RK: 58 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 300

Hecht has the talent that warranted a Day 2 selection, so this is great value for Carolina, who is replacing Austin Corbett. Hecht could really push Luke Fortner for the starting job. (Josh Edwards)

A

145

Nick Barrett DL, SC

OVR RK: 118 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 312

There is nothing flashy about Barrett, but he is incredibly consistent. He has a professional approach to the game and has the potential to play in the league a long time. Jim Harbaugh is an ideal situation for him. (Josh Edwards)

A

146

Parker Brailsford IOL, BAMA

OVR RK: 96 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 290

The Browns needed a center. It is unknown if they may have preferred Sam Hecht, who just came off the board, but they address the position nonetheless. Brailsford is an athletic blocker who can get out in space. (Josh Edwards)

Joshua Josephs EDGE, TENN

OVR RK: 94 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 240

Josephs is a quick, explosive sub-package rusher. Washington picked up a few veteran rushers in free agency, so that is all Josephs has to be for the Commanders. (Josh Edwards)

148

Beau Stephens IOL, IOWA

OVR RK: 193 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

Selecting Iowa offensive lineman has historically been a fruitful venture. Stephens brings versatility to Seattle’s offensive line. (Josh Edwards)

B-

149

Justin Jefferson LB, BAMA

OVR RK: 220 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 223

Jefferson has athleticism that pops off the chart and they have done well developing linebackers recently, but this is definitely a bit more of a gamble on the upside. (Josh Edwards)

B-

150

Dalton Johnson S, ARIZ

OVR RK: 292 • POS RK: 20 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 192

Las Vegas has taken some big swings on offense, but they did a nice job upgrading the floor of the defense through free agency as well. Safety is a position they had to address. (Josh Edwards)

C+

151

Zakee Wheatley S, PSU

OVR RK: 156 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 203

The expectation was that Wheatley would be in the conversation for a Day 2 selection. He has high end athleticism and there is room for him to immediately compete in Carolina’s secondary. (Josh Edwards)

A-

152

Justin Joly TE, NCST

OVR RK: 124 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 263

The belief was that Denver was in the market for a field-stretching move tight end. After missing out on the first wave of the position, the Broncos tap into the next group with Justin Joly whose 2024 tape was better than 2025. (Josh Edwards)

B

153

Jager Burton IOL, UK

OVR RK: 126 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 312

Burton played all three interior offensive line positions at one time or another during his Kentucky career, but really settled in at center. The Packers covet positional flexibility and certainly accomplished that with this selection. (Josh Edwards)

B-

154

Jaden Dugger LB, UL

OVR RK: 366 • POS RK: 38 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 250

Dugger has great size and athleticism, but is a bit unrefined. San Francisco has done well with those types over the years. (Josh Edwards)

C+

155

DeMonte Capehart DL, CLEM

OVR RK: 190 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

Capehart at one point in time was viewed as an early round prospect, but the vision and production never intersected. I do like this selection as a flyer on a player who could become better than his draft slot. (Josh Edwards)

B

156

George Gumbs Jr. EDGE, FLA

OVR RK: 280 • POS RK: 24 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 245

Gumbs has a well-rounded skill set and his story is really cool as a one-time Northern Illinois transfer. There always seems to be a MAC defensive lineman on Day 3 who goes on to find NFL success, but maybe the Gators found him two years in advance. (Josh Edwards)

B

157

Keith Abney II CB, ARIZST

OVR RK: 44 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 187

Abney is a Dan Campbell-type addition. He is on the smaller side but plays bigger. Lions received good value with this pick. (Josh Edwards)

A-

158

Michael Taaffe S, TEXAS

OVR RK: 210 • POS RK: 15 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 189

Taaffe was in this range on my board. For a team needing a totally new secondary, Taaffe has an opportunity to compete for playing time as a rookie. (Josh Edwards)

B

159

Max Bredeson TE, MICH

OVR RK: 370 • POS RK: 29 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 252

Bredeson is an H-Back type who can inflict punishment in the run game. There is not a lot of upside to this pick, but he fills a role. (Josh Edwards)

C+

160

Billy Schrauth IOL, ND

OVR RK: 87 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 310

Schrauth should have been off the board a long time ago. Tampa Bay had a Notre Dame offensive lineman at a position of need staring them down in the fifth round? It’s a no-brainer. (Josh Edwards)

A

161

Emmett Johnson RB, NEB

OVR RK: 173 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 200

Kansas City is making a statement this off-season: the run game was not good enough last season. After signing Kenneth Walker III in free agency, the team adds more depth. This is about the range I thought Johnson would go. (Josh Edwards)

B

162

Chandler Rivers CB, DUKE

OVR RK: 107 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 185

Rivers is going to be knocked for his size but his football IQ is high. John Harbaugh may be gone, but Baltimore continues to just take good football players. (Josh Edwards)

A-

163

Charles Demmings CB, SFA

OVR RK: 283 • POS RK: 33 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 193

Demmings is one of the rare small school players who found his way into this draft class. Demmings had some fans in regards to his handling of the pre-draft process and the Vikings had a need at cornerback. (Josh Edwards)

B-

164

Tanner Koziol TE, HOU

OVR RK: 233 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 247

The tight end options have been bled dry to this point, but Koziol was a high-volume pass catcher last season for the Cougars. Liam Coen puts his players in a position to succeed. (Josh Edwards)

B+

165

Nicholas Singleton RB, PSU

OVR RK: 212 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 224

The wait for Singleton may have gone longer than anticipated, but he is a bigger back to offset the Titans’ current room. (Josh Edwards)

A

166

Keyshaun Elliott LB, ARIZST

OVR RK: 122 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 235

Elliott missed out on the linebacker run earlier in the day, but joins a renovated Bears linebacker room after Devin Bush was brought in and Tremaine Edmunds was ushered out. (Josh Edwards)

B-

167

Jalon Kilgore S, SC

OVR RK: 132 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 210

I love the fit of Kilgore in Jim Leonhard’s defense. He brings a lot versatility to the field for a team that has struggled to replace Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer. (Josh Edwards)

A-

168

Kendrick Law WR, UK

OVR RK: 160 • POS RK: 27 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 203

Law was used at or near the line of scrimmage on most of his touches, but there is room for him to adopt a more diverse route tree. Law will not have to contribute immediately, but he does bring added value as a returner. (Josh Edwards)

B+

169

Riley Nowakowski TE, IND

OVR RK: 288 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 250

Nowakowski is the unheralded piece of Indiana’s championship offense. He could be this year’s Jackson Hawes in that he brings a lot of value to the run game as a blocker. Pittsburgh has invested a lot into its tight end room and may now be preparing for the eventuality that they have to let one or more go. (Josh Edwards)

B

170

Joe Royer TE, CINCY

OVR RK: 186 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 247

The Browns seemed to be caught off-guard by an early run on the tight end position. They eventually address the position, but options were more limited. (Josh Edwards)

B-

171

Karon Prunty CB, WAKE

OVR RK: 474 • POS RK: 49 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 192

Prunty is a big cornerback who has continued moving upward through the transfer portal era. (Josh Edwards)

C-

172

Lorenzo Styles Jr. CB, OHIOST

OVR RK: 252 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 194

Styles and his brother, first-round linebacker selection Sonny Styles, took over the NFL Combine. The secondary was a big need for New Orleans and they are aggressively addressing that area of their roster. (Josh Edwards)

B

173

Josh Cuevas TE, BAMA

OVR RK: 198 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 245

It feels as though everyone has taken a tight end in this class and Baltimore has used the strong class to double up after losing Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar. (Josh Edwards)

B

174

Adam Randall RB, CLEM

OVR RK: 194 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 232

Derrick Henry and Randall are pushing about 290 pounds between the two of them. Opposing teams don’t want to find themselves trailing against the Ravens late. (Josh Edwards)

B-

175

Hezekiah Masses CB, CAL

OVR RK: 199 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 185

California has done really well producing secondary players over the past few years and it begins with identifying the talent in the transfer portal. Masses, a Florida International transfer, immediately looked like he belonged on the Power 4 level. Good pick for the Raiders. (Josh Edwards)

B+

176

Cyrus Allen WR, CINCY

OVR RK: 83 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 180

Kansas City will be Allen’s fourth team in as many years. The transition to a new environment will not be daunting for him. Being with Patrick Mahomes is a good spot if you want to outperform your draft spot. (Josh Edwards)

B-

177

Kevin Coleman Jr. WR, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 109 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 180

Coleman has been one of the most productive pass catchers in college football over the past two years. Miami has made a million picks this weekend and Coleman is the third receiver. (Josh Edwards)

B

178

Cole Payton QB, NDST

OVR RK: 73 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 233

The Eagles quarterback room is suddenly very interesting with Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton and now…Payton. The big lefty has great athleticism, but will need time. (Josh Edwards)

A-

179

Enrique Cruz Jr. OT, KANSAS

OVR RK: 234 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 313

Cruz is one of the offensive tackle prospects I’d want to work with on Day 3, because there is definitely some potential there. Again, San Francisco has identified and developed multiple Day 3 offensive linemen and Cruz could be next. (Josh Edwards)

B-

180

Seydou Traore TE, MISSST

OVR RK: 354 • POS RK: 25 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 235

Traore is a really athletic tight end prospect originally from France. He is the first draft pick from the NFL Academy. (Josh Edwards)

B-

181

Zane Durant DL, PSU

OVR RK: 181 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 290

Durant is a shorter interior defender with good quickness to get into gaps. Buffalo is not going to guarantee him a roster spot, so he will have to compete in camp. (Josh Edwards)

B+

182

Taylen Green QB, ARK

OVR RK: 117 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 227

Taylen Green is probably a worthwhile project for a team without a long-term solution at the quarterback position. Green is big, fast and possesses all of the requisite arm strength, but the accuracy and decision-making is volatile. (Josh Edwards)

B-

183

Karson Sharar LB, IOWA

OVR RK: 345 • POS RK: 37 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 231

Linebacker is a position I thought Arizona may address earlier in the draft, but they could ill afford reach for need. Sharar brings some special teams value. (Josh Edwards)

C+

184

Jackie Marshall DL, BAYLOR

OVR RK: 295 • POS RK: 35 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 293

I love the idea of Marshall landing with Robert Saleh in Tennessee. He has some twitch and good size as an interior rusher. (Josh Edwards)

B+

185

Bauer Sharp TE, LSU

OVR RK: 368 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 249

Sharp is an example of what the transfer portal and NIL were created to accomplish. Two years ago, he was playing at Southeastern Louisiana. Sharp has great size for the position and will allow new Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to utilize more two and three tight end sets. (Josh Edwards)

B-

186

Bobby Jamison-Travis DL, AUBURN

OVR RK: 339 • POS RK: 40 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 328

Jamison-Travis is a stout interior defender who immediately supplements New York’s run defense. He fills a very specific role for a team who no longer has Dexter Lawrence. (Josh Edwards)

C+

187

Kaytron Allen RB, PSU

OVR RK: 116 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 219

Two days ago, we were wondering if Washington may be the team to draft Jeremiyah Love, but the team does not address its running back need until Saturday. Washington is cobbling together a room with a variety of skill sets again. (Josh Edwards)

B+

188

Anez Cooper IOL, MIAMI

OVR RK: 229 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 334

The Jets already added the likely replacement for Alijah Vera-Tucker, so Cooper represents depth for the franchise. (Josh Edwards)

B-

189

Brian Parker II IOL, DUKE

OVR RK: 161 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 309

Parker has some versatility, so the fact Cincinnati took center Connor Lew earlier is not a problem. Parker is just good value in the sixth round. Savvy pick by the Bengals. (Josh Edwards)

A-

190

Barion Brown WR, LSU

OVR RK: 241 • POS RK: 35 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 185

Brown has legitimate track speed and brings versatility as a returner. New Orleans continues adding to its receiver room. (Josh Edwards)

C+

191

Josh Cameron WR, BAYLOR

OVR RK: 217 • POS RK: 34 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 220

Cameron’s film is initially a little jarring because he wore No. 34 for the Bears, but it illustrates his flexibility. He is tough to bring down with the ball in open space. (Josh Edwards)

B

192

J.C. Davis OT, ILL

OVR RK: 175 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 322

Davis has the foot speed to play on the edge and would likely serve as a swing tackle early in his career. (Josh Edwards)

B

193

Jack Kelly LB, BYU

OVR RK: 258 • POS RK: 25 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 240

It may come as a surprise that a player listed as a linebacker had 10 sacks this past season, but he flies around the field and puts himself in a position to make plays. (Josh Edwards)

B

194

Pat Coogan IOL, IND

OVR RK: 192 • POS RK: 25 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 311

Coogan may be a bit more athletically limited but he handles his assignment and sets the tone at the point of attack. Coogan has played a lot of college football. (Josh Edwards)

B-

195

Malik Benson WR, OREG

OVR RK: 243 • POS RK: 36 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 189

Benson has made the rounds in college football, but never quite reached his potential. He is a naturally gifted athlete who is worthy of a flyer at this stage of the event. (Josh Edwards)

B

196

Dametrious Crownover OT, TXAM

OVR RK: 153 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 336

Crownover is a massive right tackle prospect who had the potential to go much earlier. Caleb Lomu was presumably drafted in the first round to be the right tackle, so Crownover is depth. (Josh Edwards)

A

197

CJ Daniels WR, MIAMI

OVR RK: 274 • POS RK: 41 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 202

Daniels has been a productive collegiate receiver. He is effective with the ball in his hands, so Sean McVay should be able to put him in a position to make plays. (Josh Edwards)

B-

198

Demond Claiborne RB, WAKE

OVR RK: 144 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 188

Claiborne is a smaller back with breakaway speed. The Vikings obviously love his potential having traded a future pick for the right to select him. (Josh Edwards)

A-

199

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. WR, KANSAS

OVR RK: 301 • POS RK: 45 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 185

Henderson has a thin frame and great speed. Seattle retained Rashid Shaheed, but add depth to the room. (Josh Edwards)

B-

200

DJ Campbell IOL, TEXAS

OVR RK: 265 • POS RK: 34 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 313

Campbell has a thick lower body build to lean on defenders in the run game and create path ways for the running back. He has been a volatile player for the Longhorns, but has ability. (Josh Edwards)

B-

201

Domani Jackson CB, BAMA

OVR RK: 255 • POS RK: 30 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 196

Jackson was a big-time recruit out of high school and never totally lived up to the expectations. Green Bay is betting that they will be able to cultivate that potential. In terms of height, weight and speed, he checks all the boxes. (Josh Edwards)

A

202

Logan Taylor IOL, BC

OVR RK: 180 • POS RK: 23 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 314

Boston College’s track record producing NFL linemen continues. His teammate, Jude Bowry, was taken earlier. Taylor was a personal favorite among the remaining options at the position. (Josh Edwards)

A-

203

CJ Williams WR, STNFRD

OVR RK: 475 • POS RK: 70 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 205

The Jaguars are the leaders in the clubhouse in regards to making the biggest wild card selections. Jacksonville has drafted back to back wide receivers, which gives credence to the idea Travis Hunter Jr. will be a full-time cornerback. (Josh Edwards)

C

204

Lewis Bond WR, BC

OVR RK: 346 • POS RK: 50 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 190

Bond lacks ideal top end speed, but he has a good feel for finding gaps in open space and creating separation into and out of the stem. Wide receivers continue to fly off the board. (Josh Edwards)

B

205

Skyler Gill-Howard DL, TXTECH

OVR RK: 182 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 290

Gill-Howard is a smaller interior defender who had a lot of fans among the draft community. The Northern Illinois transfer had limited pass rush production. (Josh Edwards)

B+

206

Alex Harkey IOL, OREG

OVR RK: 95 • POS RK: 10 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 308

Harkey is a prospect whose evaluation really depends on the game watched. He had some really good moments but the more you watch, some concerns start to rear its head. Los Angeles has now taken three interior offensive linemen. (Josh Edwards)

B

207

Micah Morris IOL, UGA

OVR RK: 263 • POS RK: 33 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 330

Surprise, surprise, Philadelphia drafts another Georgia Bulldog. Morris is a massive body who will move defenders in the run game. The Eagles had taken offensive tackle Markel Bell earlier in the draft. (Josh Edwards)

A-

208

Anterio Thompson DL, WASH

OVR RK: 471 • POS RK: 48 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 310

Thompson will hold his ground at the point of attack, but there is really no pass rush upside. He has 2.5 sacks over the last three seasons. (Josh Edwards)

C+

209

Matt Gulbin IOL, MICHST

OVR RK: 169 • POS RK: 22 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 305

Gulbin may eventually push Nick Allegretti for the starting center gig. He has the upside to be one of the team’s best five. (Josh Edwards)

A-

210

Gabriel Rubio DL, ND

OVR RK: 476 • POS RK: 50 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 321

Rubio is a big body who is just going to occupy space in that Pittsburgh defense. He does not have any pass rush production, but fills a role for the team. (Josh Edwards)

C+

211

Ryan Eckley P, MICHST

OVR RK: 477 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 200

Eckley has a big leg and can flip the field. At this stage of the draft, I do not mind a team using a pick on a punter or kicker because they fill a role like any other potential addition. (Josh Edwards)

B

212

Namdi Obiazor LB, TCU

OVR RK: 278 • POS RK: 29 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 229

Obiazor is a willing enforcer and athletic linebacker who can provide special teams value. (Josh Edwards)

B-

213

Jordan van den Berg DL, GATECH

OVR RK: 188 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 310

Van den Berg has a bit of quickness but gets into the blocker’s body and can not detach at times. The defensive tackle waters have been fished dry, but van den Berg is an interesting late round flyer. (Josh Edwards)

C+

214

Caden Curry EDGE, OHIOST

OVR RK: 174 • POS RK: 18 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 260

Indianapolis certainly has a type. First and foremost, the position has to be able to hold the edge and contain the run game. Curry is a tough and reliable in that regard. (Josh Edwards)

B

215

Harold Perkins Jr. LB, LSU

OVR RK: 176 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 222

Perkins arrived in Baton Rouge as a freshman and was an immediate contributor. His career was disrupted by injuries and perhaps a tweener skill set, but the athleticism is exciting. (Josh Edwards)

A-

216

Trey Smack K, FLA

OVR RK: 481 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 188

The Packers have been chasing consistency at kicker since Mason late career Mason Crosby. Smack could be that guy, but the history of drafted specialists is not all rose buds and sunshine; at least for the initial team. (Josh Edwards)

B

217

Jayden Williams OT, MISS

OVR RK: 285 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 320

Williams’ size and foot speed is worth Arizona exploring at this stage of the draft. They have taken multiple offensive linemen to give themselves several bites of the apple. (Josh Edwards)

B

218

Anthony Smith WR, ECU

OVR RK: 441 • POS RK: 63 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 189

Smith popped up on the radar late, but has good size and production. The Cowboys will have one of the taller receiver rooms in the league between George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and now Smith. (Josh Edwards)

B-

219

TJ Hall CB, IOWA

OVR RK: 251 • POS RK: 27 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 190

I really like Hall’s tape. He is an instinctual player who will play through the receiver, but he lacks the high end traits that are often non-negotiables of the position. It is still good value. (Josh Edwards)

B+

220

Toriano Pride Jr. CB, MIZZOU

OVR RK: 291 • POS RK: 35 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 185

The Clemson transfer has four interceptions over the past two years. He is fast and physical relative to his size, but gives up a lot of cushion in zone coverage. (Josh Edwards)

B-

221

Jack Endries TE, TEXAS

OVR RK: 178 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 245

Endries looked better in 2024 playing with Fernando Mendoza than he did in 2025. It is surprising that he is still available in the seventh-round. Cincinnati has played the board well. (Josh Edwards)

A

222

Tyre West DL, TENN

OVR RK: 381 • POS RK: 42 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 290

West played on the end a lot this season in Tennessee’s defense, but will probably settle into a more traditional interior role as a pro. I really like the potential of this player if lined up inside and given freedom to get after the quarterback. (Josh Edwards)

B+

223

Athan Kaliakmanis QB, RUT

OVR RK: 341 • POS RK: 14 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 212

Kaliakmanis played better in 2025 than earlier in his career, but the ceiling is capped. Interesting fit in Washington. (Josh Edwards)

B-

224

Robert Spears-Jennings S, OKLA

OVR RK: 204 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 205

Pittsburgh needed some youth in the safety room. Spears-Jennings could have come off the board earlier. (Josh Edwards)

225

Jaren Kanak TE, OKLA

OVR RK: 357 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 234

Kanak has played both sides of the ball in his collegiate career. He’s an athlete who will be played in a tight end role. (Josh Edwards)

C+

226

Landon Robinson DL, NAVY

OVR RK: 323 • POS RK: 39 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 287

Robinson is a shorter interior defender who is an Ohio native and recently got a close up look of the Bengals on a visit. (Josh Edwards)

B

227

Jackson Kuwatch LB, MIAOH

OVR RK: 123 • POS RK: 12 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 232

Kuwatch flies around the football field and will be a menace on special teams. Carolina has one of the most athletic linebacker rooms in the country. (Josh Edwards)

B

228

VJ Payne S, KSTATE

OVR RK: 207 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 208

Payne has great size and physicality. He will play downhill and set the tone in the new look Jets secondary. (Josh Edwards)

B-

229

Brandon Cleveland DL, NCST

OVR RK: 225 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 307

Las Vegas is getting plus value from Cleveland in the seventh round. He has NFL size and will hold his ground in the run game. (Josh Edwards)

A-

230

Eli Heidenreich RB, NAVY

OVR RK: 102 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 198

Do not get hung up on the position listed next to Heidenreich’s name. He will run the ball. He will run routes and catch passes. Whatever the team needs, the Navy Midshipman will provide. It would not be a surprise if he became a special teams ace as well. (Josh Edwards)

B+

231

Ethan Onianwa IOL, OHIOST

OVR RK: 321 • POS RK: 38 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 331

Onianwa showcased his versatility throughout the course of his collegiate career. He transferred from Rice to Ohio State for his final season. His case to make the roster as a seventh-round pick is strengthened by that positional flexibility. (Josh Edwards)

C+

232

Tim Keenan III DL, BAMA

OVR RK: 214 • POS RK: 25 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 327

Keenan is a classic Alabama defensive tackle. He has grown man strength and can hold his ground at the point of attack, but will not offer a lot of upside as a pass rusher. (Josh Edwards)

B+

233

Zach Durfee EDGE, WASH

OVR RK: 394 • POS RK: 32 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 258

The pre-draft process really drags on and it gets to a point where it feels as though you’re only watching undrafted free agent types. Durfee was a fun, late watch. He has a well-rounded skill set, but a relatively low ceiling. (Josh Edwards)

B

234

Behren Morton QB, TXTECH

OVR RK: 365 • POS RK: 16 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 210

Early in the season, Morton looked like a higher tier prospect, but really did not deliver when it mattered the most in high leverage games. It is interesting that quarterbacks like Morton and Athan Kaliakmanis are coming off the board before Garrett Nussmeier. (Josh Edwards)

Gavin Gerhardt IOL, CINCY

OVR RK: 482 • POS RK: 49 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 310

Minnesota will have a new center in 2026 and get a longer look at Gerhardt in the seventh-round. (Josh Edwards)

236

Andre Fuller CB, TOLEDO

OVR RK: 172 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 200

Toledo produced several NFL players under the direction of Jason Candle. Fuller watched as his teammate, safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, was drafted on Day 2, but Fuller now gets his moment. (Josh Edwards)

B

237

Seth McGowan RB, UK

OVR RK: 143 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 215

New Mexico State has multiple former transfers in this draft. McGowan was a touted recruit out of high school but rejuvenated his stock in his final collegiate season at Kentucky. (Josh Edwards)

B

238

Max Llewellyn EDGE, IOWA

OVR RK: 237 • POS RK: 21 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 263

Llewellyn has good strength at the point of attack. He finally got his opportunity to take on a larger role in 2025. I really like this value for the Dolphins. (Josh Edwards)

A-

239

Tommy Doman P, FLA

OVR RK: 478 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 214

If Buffalo landed its new starting punter, then that is a good use of a seventh-round pick. Doman watched as his teammate, kicker Trey Smack, had been picked a round earlier. (Josh Edwards)

B

240

Parker Hughes LB, MTSU

OVR RK: 480 • POS RK: 50 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 225

Hughes is a smaller linebacker in a Jaguars defense who no longer has Devin Lloyd. (Josh Edwards)

C

241

Ar’maj Reed-Adams IOL, TXAM

OVR RK: 146 • POS RK: 17 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 314

The thought was that Buffalo may take its replacement for David Edwards earlier in the festivities, but they added a body to the room before the draft ended. (Josh Edwards)

A-

242

Deven Eastern DL, MINN

OVR RK: 276 • POS RK: 31 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

Eastern is a tall interior defender who struggles to achieve leverage at times, which leads to getting washed out of the run game. Seattle is well-positioned to bring him along at his own pace. (Josh Edwards)

C+

243

Aiden Fisher LB, IND

OVR RK: 268 • POS RK: 28 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 231

Fisher is a smart player who shouldered a lot of the responsibility in that Indiana offense. Houston is adding depth and maybe signaling change at the linebacker position. (Josh Edwards)

B+

244

Cole Wisniewski S, TXTECH

OVR RK: 375 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 220

Wisniewski is a big safety who began his career at North Dakota State. It takes some creatively to maximize Wisniewski’s potential, but the pairing with Vic Fangio could be fun. (Josh Edwards)

B-

245

Jam Miller RB, BAMA

OVR RK: 254 • POS RK: 13 • HT: 5-10 • WT: 209

Miller may have gone earlier if he had not dealt with injuries this season. New England adds quality depth to a room that welcomed TreVeyon Henderson last season. (Josh Edwards)

B+

246

Miles Scott S, ILL

OVR RK: 390 • POS RK: 29 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 210

Scott is the latest Illinois defensive back to matriculate on to the NFL out of Champaign. Denver needed more competition at safety. (Josh Edwards)

C

247

Quintayvious Hutchins EDGE, BC

OVR RK: 260 • POS RK: 23 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 233

Hutchins is a smaller, quick-twitched edge rusher who knows how to get into gaps. He may only be a designated pass rusher, but there is a defined role for him at the next level. (Josh Edwards)

B+

248

Carsen Ryan TE, BYU

OVR RK: 420 • POS RK: 32 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 250

Ryan is a good athlete with good size, but needs some work on the finer points of the position. Ryan is the second tight end taken by the Browns. (Josh Edwards)

B

249

Garrett Nussmeier QB, LSU

OVR RK: 69 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 203

Nussmeier may have preferred not to be drafted at this point and just choose his own destination, but there are worse places to land than Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Nussmeier was worthy of a Day 2 pick in my opinion. He was penalized for playing through injury this season. (Josh Edwards)

A+

250

Rayshaun Benny DL, MICH

OVR RK: 105 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 298

The expectation was that Benny would be gone by this point. He steps in at a position of need for the Ravens. Good value. (Josh Edwards)

A-

251

Uar Bernard DL, NIGERIA

OVR RK: 472 • POS RK: 49 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 306

Bernard is out of the International Pathway Program. He is an insane athlete with no football playing experience. Will he be Philadelphia’s defensive version of Jordan Mailata? (Josh Edwards)

B

252

Keyshawn James-Newby EDGE, NMEX

OVR RK: 396 • POS RK: 33 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 244

James-Newby is a sawed-off pass rusher with good production last season. Philadelphia is hoping they can bring him along in a similar fashion as Jalyx Hunt. (Josh Edwards)

B-

253

Evan Beerntsen IOL, NWEST

OVR RK: 328 • POS RK: 39 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 301

Baltimore’s draft began with an offensive guard (Vega Ioane) and ends with an offensive guard. He is a smart player with positional versatility. (Josh Edwards)

B

254

Deion Burks WR, OKLA

OVR RK: 149 • POS RK: 24 • HT: 5-9 • WT: 188

Indianapolis is getting a steal moments before the draft ends. Yes, Burks is smaller and has dealt with injuries, but he is elusive in open space and knows what to do with the ball in his hands. (Josh Edwards)

A-

255

Michael Dansby CB, ARIZ

OVR RK: 479 • POS RK: 50 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 185

Dansby began his career at San Jose State, but has a consistent record producing turnovers. He is a smaller player and the latest Arizona secondary player to be called upon in the NFL. (Josh Edwards)

C

256

Dallen Bentley TE, UTAH

OVR RK: 141 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 259

Bentley has good size and will try to run over anyone in his path post-catch. (Josh Edwards)

B

257

Red Murdock LB, BUFF

OVR RK: 151 • POS RK: 15 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 240

Murdock is a spark plug playing sideline to sideline. At times, he runs a bit too hot and overruns the play. Murdock has 9 sacks and 17 forced fumbles over the past three seasons. Good value to end the draft. (Josh Edwards)
