\nSynopsis<\/p>\n

1. Sonny Styles, LB
Ohio State<\/a>
\n6050
244
\n4.46
\nStyles, a former safety, jumps off the film as a block deconstructor. A rare athlete for his size, evidenced by his outstanding NFL Combine numbers, he showcases elite range, sound tackling ability, and coverage instincts that will only improve with more reps. He projects as a starting MIKE with an All-Pro caliber skill set.<\/p>\n

2. Jeremiyah Love, RB
Notre Dame<\/a>
\n6000
212
\n4.36
\nLove is an exciting runner with excellent burst, contact balance and vision to quickly turn a short gain into a chunk-yardage play paired with receiving upside and willingness to pass protect. His speed was apparent when he tested at the Combine, running a 4.36-second 40. He sets up his blocks at a pro level and is a dynamic threat defenses will need to game plan against to slow down.<\/p>\n

3. Caleb Downs, S
Ohio State<\/a>
\n6-0
212
\nN\/A
\nDowns is a floor raiser for a defense with elite instincts playing at multiple levels of it. He has the strength to defend tight ends and play in the box and is a heat-seeking missile who is involved in nearly every play. Though he did not test at the Combine or his Pro Day, he wore multiple hats at the college level and projects as a low-hole safety who can erase the middle of the field and roll down as an extra box defender on run downs.<\/p>\n

4. Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE
Miami (FL)<\/a>
\n6022
263
\nN\/A
\nBain, who also opted not to test athletically, is a hell-raiser who has unbelievable power behind his hands with excellent pursuit speed and explosiveness as a pass rusher and run defender. While his arm length continues to be a discussion point after measuring in at 30-7\/8\u00a0inches, Bain\u2019s skill set and strength will allow him to be a scheme-versatile player who can fill multiple defensive line roles.<\/p>\n

5. Arvell Reese, LB
Ohio State<\/a>
\n6041
241
\n4.46
\nReese burst onto the scene last season as an explosive, relentless player with impressive pop behind his hands, elite run-and-chase ability, and eye-popping closing speed as a QB spy and flat-coverage defender. The athleticism checked out at the Combine in physical testing. Whether he\u2019s a pass rusher or off-ball linebacker remains a big question, but he\u2019s at his best attacking downhill to chase down quarterbacks and ball carriers. He is more comfortable from the off-linebacker spot.<\/p>\n

6. Fernando Mendoza, QB
Indiana<\/a>
\n6046
236
\nN\/A
\nMendoza has an adequate NFL arm, but his sharp accuracy, willingness to deliver passes in the pocket even as it closes around him, and his mental processing will allow him to handle the rigors of being an NFL quarterback. Though he\u2019s not an elite athlete, he has functional mobility to make plays with his legs or extend them to find receivers downfield and elevated the players around him at Cal and Indiana.<\/p>\n

7. <\/a>Carnell Tate, WR Ohio State<\/a>
\n6022
192
\n4.53
\nTate ran a 4.53-second 40 at the Combine, but that shouldn\u2019t scare teams off because of how he excels in one-on-one situations against defensive backs and utilizing his varied releases at the line of scrimmage. He can also play above the rim on throws downfield. He has enough speed to win vertically. While he won\u2019t make many players miss in the open field, he creates separation with ease and makes throwing windows for his quarterbacks much wider.<\/p>\n

8. Kenyon Sadiq, TE Oregon<\/a>
\n6031
241
\n4.39
\nSadiq\u2019s production may not match up to previous first-round tight ends but, as his Combine performance showed, he\u2019s an elite athlete who is willing to do the dirty work as a blocker and dynamic when the ball is in his hands. He has upside as a pass catcher on the vertical plane and his filled-out frame can handle the physicality of the position in the NFL, as an in-line player and flexed-out wideout.<\/p>\n

9. <\/a>Francis Mauigoa, OT
Miami<\/a>
\n6054
329
\n5.12
\nMauigoa is a dancing bear at offensive tackle who has excellent grip strength, plays with a nasty demeanor as a run blocker, and is smooth in his mirroring ability as a pass protector. He\u2019s not overly explosive, and his pro day numbers showed he\u2019s an average athlete, but it\u2019s not what his game is predicated on. He doesn\u2019t have elite length or athleticism but is technically sound as a blocker. Middling athleticism, though, likely causes him to move inside to guard in the NFL.<\/p>\n

10. <\/a>Mansoor Delane, CB LSU<\/a>
\n5116
187
\n4.38
\nDelane has extremely patient feet and rarely panics in man or zone coverage. He also has a nose for the football. After an up-and-down 2024 season at Virginia Tech, Delane was dominant in 2025. While there were questions about his long speed, Delane answered them at his Pro Day, running a 4.38 second 40 and continuing to check boxes throughout this process, and leaping himself into the top 10 of my big board. He can excel in press or off-man coverage and rarely allowed completions while playing on an island for LSU.<\/p>\n

11. <\/a>Spencer Fano, OT\/OG Utah<\/a>
\n6054
311
\n4.91
\nA three-year starter who played both tackle spots, Fano really came into his own at right tackle, showcasing excellent grip strength and pad leverage. His Combine performance in field drills in Indy really accentuated the athleticism he has to mirror pass rushers and utilize his hands in pass pro. His lean build and body type could give him problems against NFL d-linemen. Still, Fano is a skilled pass protector and can thrive in a wide-zone style of offense, at guard or tackle.<\/p>\n

12. <\/a>Keldric Faulk, EDGE Auburn<\/a>
\n6057
276
\n4.67
\nFaulk is an enigma in this draft given his lack of pass-rushing production, but he played on a defensive front that focused more on containing than attacking. Despite the pass-rushing questions, Faulk excels as a run defender and has powerful hands and length to create separation from offensive linemen. Faulk tested like an elite athlete for his size. At only 20 years old, it\u2019s reasonable to believe he can develop into a well-rounded player.<\/p>\n

13. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee<\/a>
\n6006
188
\nN\/A
\nBy all accounts, McCoy had a strong showing at his Pro Day, and proved he was still as athletic and fluid after he missed all of the 2025 season with a torn ACL. McCoy has the best mix of patience in man coverage and the ability to manipulate quarterbacks in zone coverage. His ability to throttle down and drive on throws outside the numbers separates him from other cornerbacks in this draft, but he needs to prove it on the field in front of NFL scouts.<\/p>\n

14. <\/a>Jordyn Tyson, WR Arizona State<\/a>
\n6021
203
\nN\/A
\nTyson has big question marks around his health, especially following a report that a lingering hamstring injury has prevented him from physical testing. When he was on the field and healthy, his quickness and size to be a three-level threat at the NFL level popped. He is extremely competitive at the catch point, can make catches in a crowd of defenders, and can win as a route runner as a slot receiver and outside receiver. He could ultimately fall in the draft, though, if he can\u2019t quell those injury concerns.<\/p>\n

15. David Bailey, EDGE Texas Tech<\/a>
\n6035
251
\n4.50
\nBailey has elite first-step quickness and snap-count timing to wreck plays as both a run defender and pass rusher. Testing like an elite athlete in the linear drills like the 40, vertical jump and broad jump, Bailey\u2019s top priority in the NFL will be getting after the quarterback. His lack of flexibility turning the corner (he hasn\u2019t done any agility tests) and struggles holding the point of attack on the edge as a run defender are weaknesses in his game. Still, he\u2019s a relentless pass rusher who can win inside and outside and has double-digit sack ability.<\/p>\n

16. Olaivavega Ioane, OG
Penn State<\/a>
\n6042
\nN\/A
\nIoane is a mauling offensive lineman who generates power behind his hands, especially as a run blocker. He opted not to do athletic testing beyond jumps, but the way he wins as a lineman is not solely based on athleticism. He consistently creates running lanes with his physicality and torque and has functional athleticism to move in space and climb to the second level. While he can do a better job of handling speedier rushers, he projects as a Day 1 NFL starting guard.<\/p>\n

17. Kadyn Proctor, OT
Alabama<\/a>
\n6065
352
\n5.21
\nProctor, who tested well athletically for a player his size, is another prospect who could be either a reliable starting tackle or guard. His skill set, length, and athleticism all pop for the big offensive lineman. He\u2019s a solid mover in space and when Proctor gets his hands on edge rushers and defensive tackles first, he has the power and size to overwhelm defenders. Improving his blocking technique and pad level is needed but he\u2019s a capable prospect who could turn his great tools into an excellent NFL player.<\/p>\n

18. Makai Lemon, WR USC<\/a>
\n5111
192
\n4.46
\nLemon, who ran a solid 4.46 40 at his Pro Day, does most of his damage from the slot. He has excellent concentration and body control on downfield passes, and he can force missed tackles at a high level after the catch. He does not project as an outside receiver, but his play strength and ability to make catches in traffic give him a chance to be extremely productive early in his NFL career, though his ceiling may be limited.<\/p>\n

19. KC Concepcion, WR
Texas A&M<\/a>
\n5115
196
\nN\/A
\nConcepcion didn\u2019t do any athletic testing, but his film shows an explosive player who can generate big gains after the catch and is a natural vertical field stretcher from the slot or as an outside receiver. He snaps off his routes and accelerates with the ball in his hands, but he needs to add play strength and clean up drops. He\u2019s a three-level threat at receiver who has dynamic, game-altering speed and seems like he could push to be the second wide receiver off the board with the uncertainty surrounding Tyson and Lemon likely being a slot-only player.<\/p>\n

20. Monroe Freeling, OT Georgia<\/a>
\n6073
315
\n4.93
\nFreeling, whose stock only continues to soar after a strong Combine performance, is an excellent athlete with light feet in pass protection. He can also climb to the second level and block in space in the run game. His hands can get more consistent in pass protection, his upper-body strength needs to improve, and he\u2019s just a one-year starter, but Freeling has a desirable skill set that could see him become the first o-lineman drafted.<\/p>\n

21. Caleb Lomu, OT Utah<\/a>
\n6062
313
\n4.99
\nLomu, who has quietly had a very strong pre-draft process that included a standout testing day, is a skilled pass protector with quick, nimble feet and recovery ability. Lomu has the athleticism to move in pass protection and play on an island against speed and power rushers. Improving his play strength will help him become more consistent in the run game. He\u2019s not as polished as other tackles in this draft, but a player with his skill set rarely makes it past the first round.<\/p>\n

22. <\/a>Aveion Terrell, CB
Clemson<\/a>
\n5106
186
\nN\/A
\nTerrell is a smaller defensive back who struggles when matched up against bigger wideouts and tight ends but is competitive at the catch point, has good zone-coverage instincts to close on routes developing in front of him, and has some nickel versatility to his game. His lack of speed during testing was a bit surprising considering the opportunity he had to jump into the top-15 discussion, but his allure will be his ability to play multiple secondary roles in the NFL.<\/p>\n

23. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S Toledo<\/a>
\n6034
201
\n4.52
\nMcNeil-Warren didn\u2019t have the testing day I was expecting at the Combine, but he still proved that he\u2019s an explosive safety who can run the alley in run support, has short-area coverage ability, and good instincts in a robber and two-high safety structure. His ability to generate takeaways, both by interceptions and forcing fumbles, showed just how strong his ball skills were in college. His tackling and tackling angles can improve, and he\u2019s likely not a fit in a one-high safety defense, but McNeil-Warren has the makings of an impactful starting NFL safety.<\/p>\n

24. <\/a>Peter Woods, DT Clemson<\/a>
\n6024
298
\nN\/A
\nWoods\u2019 pre-draft process hasn\u2019t been ideal, from skipping testing at the Combine to only opting to do jumps and a 10-yard split at his pro day. On film, Woods showed flashes of explosiveness by slipping blocks in the run game and winning in one-on-one situations as a pass rusher. He took a major step back in his productivity and effectiveness in 2025, but his talent is apparent. Still, there\u2019s a chance he\u2019s not among the 32 players selected in the first round with more questions than answers about his game.<\/p>\n

25. <\/a>Cashius Howell, EDGE Texas AM\u00a0<\/a>
\n6024
253
\n4.59
\nFor a player without ideal arm length, Howell didn\u2019t test as well as some of his peers, but he is still an explosive and relentless pass rusher who has the bend and pass-rush arsenal to thrive as a designated pass rusher (DPR) at the NFL level. His lack of length and power shows up in the run game and against more powerful tackles, but his pass-rushing skills and ability to turn the corner will be of value for NFL teams.<\/p>\n

26. Omar Cooper Jr., WR Indiana<\/a>
\n6001
199
\n4.42
\nCooper, who continues to check boxes in the pre-draft process, primarily operated as a slot receiver in college, but he has the speed (4.42 second 40) to run by defensive backs and is tough to bring down in the open field after the catch. Cooper has strong hands at the catch point and terrific body control, making catches through contact and with defenders draped all over him, and there\u2019s reason to believe that can translate into a Z-receiver role in the NFL. He didn\u2019t run a diverse route tree at Indiana, but he thrives on vertical throws and has proven wins in one-on-one matchups in the slot against nickels and safeties.<\/p>\n

27. Denzel Boston, WR Washington<\/a>
\n6035
212
\nN\/A
\nBoston, who did not run the 40 but had elite times in the agility and jump testing at his pro day, is a big receiver who can win vertically and thrives at the catch point with his strong hands and impressive body control on jump balls. He won\u2019t be for every team because he\u2019s not an elite separator but his catch radius and reliability in contested situations will make it difficult for NFL teams to defend him.<\/p>\n

28. <\/a>Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon<\/a>
\n6001
201
\n4.35
\nThieneman, one of the Combine\u2019s big winners with his 4.35 second 40, has excellent coverage instincts and ball production, runs the alley well, and played multiple secondary roles across his time at Purdue and Oregon. He\u2019s at his best playing a robber role, working top down and closing on balls thrown in front of him.<\/p>\n

29. Kayden McDonald, DT Ohio State<\/a>
\n6020
326
\nN\/A
\nMcDonald is a massive space eater with the knock-back power to disrupt running plays and the quickness to beat reach blocks. He didn\u2019t test athletically at the Combine or Ohio State Pro Day, but he thrives pushing the pocket on true drop-back passing situations. He needs to have a better pass-rush approach other than bull rushing and trying to knock interior linemen backward, but he has resetting-the-line-of-scrimmage power and pop behind his hands on running downs.<\/p>\n

30. R Mason Thomas, EDGE Oklahoma<\/a>
\n6022
241
\n4.67
\nThomas is an undersized pass rusher with a relentless motor and the athleticism and bend to win high side against offensive tackles, but his athletic testing didn\u2019t match the explosiveness you see on his tape. He\u2019s got some length issues that show up in the run game, and while he projects as a DPR at the NFL level, he\u2019s gone from a possible Round 1 candidate to almost certainly going on Day 2.<\/p>\n

31. <\/a>Caleb Banks, DT Florida<\/a>
\n6062
327
\n5.04
\nBanks, who broke his foot the night before testing at the Combine, only played in three games in 2025. His testing numbers were remarkable despite the injury, and he possesses incredible length and power to push interior offensive linemen back at the line of scrimmage. However, there is some concern about Banks\u2019 health and if he can look like the player people were expecting to see in 2025. He had a strong Senior Bowl and if he can clean up his pad level, become more consistent, and quickly recover from this latest ailment, Banks could turn out to be a bargain if he doesn\u2019t go in Round 1.<\/p>\n

32. CJ Allen, LB
Georgia<\/a>
\n6006
230
\nN\/A
\nAllen, who did not test athletically due to knee swelling from a meniscus injury suffered in November, is a physical player with terrific instincts to react sideline to sideline and cover a lot of ground as a run defender and in coverage. His eye discipline and coverage drop depth in pass coverage can improve, but he\u2019s got the skill set and instincts to become an instant contributor on an NFL defense if his knee injury does not linger.<\/p>\n

33. T.J. Parker, EDGE Clemson<\/a>
\n6035
263
\n4.68
\nParker, who showed he\u2019s a good enough NFL athlete with his athletic testing, is a no-nonsense pass rusher who wants a runway to utilize speed-to-power conversions while also utilizing his long-arm move. He\u2019s a physical run defender willing to take on pulling linemen. He\u2019s a pretty stiff player turning the corner and needs to build on his power profile, but Parker is set to thrive as a 4-3 defensive end in the NFL.<\/p>\n

34. Akheem Mesidor, EDGE Miami (FL)<\/a>
\n6030
259
\nN\/A
\nMesidor, who opted not to test athletically and turns 25 in early April, is an older prospect but has violent, active hands as a pass rusher. He is also savvy enough that if he doesn\u2019t win his initial rush with speed, he can counter and win on an inside track. He\u2019s not super physical stacking and shedding blocks, and his best wins usually come from working inside counters, but Mesidor projects as an immediate contributor to an edge rusher room with a complementary skill set.<\/p>\n

35. Blake Miller, OT Clemson<\/a>
\n6066
317
\n5.04
\nMiller, who had an elite testing day at the Combine, was a consistent pass protector for the last two seasons at Clemson. He has light feet and a vice grip to stop pass rushers in their tracks. He\u2019s made his most strides as a run blocker, but improving his core strength and filling out his lower body need to be priorities transitioning to the NFL. He seems to be trending toward a Round 1 player.<\/p>\n

36. D\u2019Angelo Ponds, CB Indiana<\/a>
\n5085
182
\nN\/A
\nPound for pound, there may not be a more physical and fearless player in the draft than Ponds, a ball magnet and willing tackler despite being undersized. He ran and unofficial 4.31 second 40 at his pro day and jumped an eye-popping 43.5-inch vertical at the combine. With his small stature, he will give up catches to bigger wideouts, but he has excellent recovery speed, zone coverage instincts, and ball skills.<\/p>\n

37. Josiah Trotter, LB
Missouri<\/a>
\n6020
237
\nN\/A
\nTrotter, who did not test athletically at his pro day or at the Combine, has NFL lineage and plays like it as a physical, throwback linebacker who can shed blocks and get after the quarterback as a blitzer. His coverage eyes and route recognition need to improve but he thrives as a downhill thumper and run game menace.<\/p>\n

38. <\/a>Max Iheanachor, OT Arizona State<\/a>
\n6057
321
\n4.91
\nIheanachor is still relatively new to playing football but has the size, arm length, and lateral quickness to mirror pass rushers and to cut off backside and frontside defensive linemen. His elite athleticism, displayed at the Combine, also makes easy to bet on as a developmental player at the position. While his hand placement, strike timing, and core strength all need to develop, Iheanachor has tools to eventually develop into a quality NFL starter.<\/p>\n

39. Chris Bell, WR Louisville<\/a>
\n6017
222
\nN\/A
\nIf not for an ACL injury, Bell would have a strong case to get drafted late Round 1. His size and explosiveness allow him to win jump-ball, 50\/50 passes and create after the catch. He\u2019s not an elite route runner and uses his size to box out smaller defensive backs, but he\u2019s a legit vertical threat and dynamo with the ball in his hands. If healthy, he could be an impactful rookie.<\/p>\n

40. Ty Simpson, QB Alabama<\/a>
\n6011
211
\nN\/A
\nSimpson, who did not test athletically, was a one-year starter who didn\u2019t look quite the same down the stretch of the 2025 season compared to earlier in the year, but he has NFL level arm talent, processing, and accuracy. He needs more experience and to be a more consistent decision maker under pressure. If Simpson lands with a team that doesn\u2019t ask him to start right away, he can turn into an above-average NFL starter.<\/p>\n

41. Chase Bisontis, OG
Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6052
315
\n5.02
\nBisontis, who tested like a solid athlete at the Combine, is a physical interior lineman who has active hands to hand fight in pass protection and quick feet to mirror in pass protection. He sometimes overextends himself with a high pad level and doesn\u2019t always root out defensive linemen in one-on-one blocking situations. But his physical blocking demeanor and balance as a pass protector will give him a chance to start as a rookie.<\/p>\n

42. Lee Hunter, DT Texas Tech<\/a>
\n6034
318
\n5.13
\nHunter was dominant at the Senior Bowl, but poor athletic testing likely took him out of Round 1 discussions. He excels as a run-stuffing defensive tackle who is hard to block and can wreak havoc on interior offensive lines from multiple alignments. He\u2019s a limited athlete who doesn\u2019t bring much pass-rushing juice, but his motor and playmaking as a run defender will get him on the field early in his career.<\/p>\n

43. Gabe Jacas, EDGE Illinois<\/a>
\n6040
260
\nN\/A
\nJacas, who has a workout scheduled for early April, is a densely framed edge rusher with heavy hands to knock back offensive linemen. He also has enough wiggle to beat tackles on their outside shoulder. He can pass rush from the interior and from the edge. He just doesn\u2019t offer much explosiveness to bend the corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

44. Christen Miller, DT Georgia<\/a>
\n6036
321
\nN\/A
\nMiller, who didn\u2019t test athletically, has powerful hands and a strong upper body, allowing him to lock out, stack and shed offensive linemen. He particularly excels at splitting double-team blocks. He will excel in early downs as a run defender, with the ability to maintain his gap and defeat double-team blocks. He has a limited experience as a pass rusher, likely making him an early-down player to start his career.<\/p>\n

45. Treydan Stukes, CB\/S Arizona<\/a>
\n6005
190
\n4.33
\nStukes ran a blazing fast 40 and has been a consistent riser during the pre-draft process. He has some of the best ball skills of any defensive back in the draft. He showcased them while playing multiple roles in Arizona\u2019s defense, including safety and nickel. Stukes has good recovery speed, mirroring ability, and physicality at the catch point. There are questions about the former walk-on\u2019s durability (torn ACL in 2024), but he has the skill set to be an NFL starting nickel or can play free safety.<\/p>\n

46. Jadarian Price, RB
Notre Dame<\/a>
\n5105
203
\n4.49
\nPrice, who had a strong testing day at the Combine, is a sturdy, downhill runner who sets up his blocks nicely at the second and third levels of a defense and can make defenders miss in the open field. He accelerates through contact and can hit a second gear in the open field. His pass-protection and receiving opportunities were limited behind Jeremiyah Love, but Price projects as a change-of-pace back for a team that employs a running back-by-committee approach.<\/p>\n

47. <\/a>Keylan Rutledge, OG Georgia Tech<\/a>
\n6040
316
\n5.05
\nRutledge, who tested like an above-average athlete at Indianapolis, is one of the most physically imposing players in this draft as a run-blocking mauler with strong hands and torque to move defensive linemen against their will. He clears space when he pulls across the line of scrimmage. His lack of foot speed and redirect skills in pass protection won\u2019t make him a fit for every team, but he will be an excellent addition to gap-scheme NFL teams.<\/p>\n

48. Billy Schrauth, OG
Notre Dame<\/a>
\n6050
310
\nN\/A
\nA knee injury limited Schrauth to just seven games in 2025 and during the pre-draft process. He did not test but did position drills at the Combine. When healthy, he showed a sturdy anchor, run displacement ability as a combo and one-on-one blocker, and nice strain ability. Schrauth started games at both guard spots at Notre Dame, and while he lacks the foot quickness to consistently climb to the second level as a run blocker, he\u2019s got starter-level traits and rarely allows pressure in pass protection.<\/p>\n

49. <\/a>Chris Johnson, CB
San Diego State<\/a>
\n6000
193
\n4.40
\nJohnson, who blew away his Combine testing and answered questions about his long speed, is a sticky coverage player in man and zone coverage. He\u2019s competitive at the catch point even if he gives up some size and strength. He doesn\u2019t always find the ball cleanly while he\u2019s in coverage, but he\u2019s a scheme-versatile player with starter-level traits for an NFL secondary.<\/p>\n

50. Brandon Cisse, CB
South Carolina<\/a>
\n5116
189
\n4.40
\nCisse is a speedy cover corner (ran a 4.4 40 at his pro day) who can run hip to hip on vertical throws and can flip his hips and close on passes in the boundary and over the middle of the field. He\u2019s not great with his press man-coverage jam technique and has trouble at times finding the football when his back is turned. But he is worth taking a shot on as a developmental corner with traits and upside.<\/p>\n

51. Chris Brazzell II, WR Tennessee<\/a>
\n6040
198
\n4.37
\nBrazzell is an explosive athlete who thrives on a vertical plane, as evidenced by the speed he showcased at the Combine. He can sink his hips and has strong hands at the catch point. He doesn\u2019t have many routes in his route tree yet because of the offense he played in and was inconsistent in beating press at the line of scrimmage Still, he can immediately upgrade an offense with his natural field-stretching ability. He can also create after the catch.<\/p>\n

52. Derrick Moore, EDGE Michigan<\/a>
\n6040
255
\nN\/A
\nMoore, who only did his jump testing at his pro day and did not run at the Combine, is a speed-to-power savant who can win across multiple alignments and has the length to stack and shed as a run defender. The power doesn\u2019t always show up in the run game, but Moore can be a nice complementary piece in a defensive line room.<\/p>\n

53. <\/a>Colton Hood, CB Tennessee<\/a>
\n5115
193
\n4.44
\nHood is a physical press man cover corner who transitions smoothly out of his back pedal and consistently got his hands on the football in 2025. He also is a willing tackler and embraces contact on the perimeter, showing nice skills stacking and shedding. His zone-coverage eyes and discipline can improve \u2014 he is overeager at times to break on a pass before the ball is thrown \u2014 and he can clean up his missed tackles. Hood is at his best when utilizing his speed, physicality, and length to disrupt a receiver\u2019s timing.<\/p>\n

54. Genesis Smith, S Arizona<\/a>
\n6021
202
\n4.48
\nSmith, who ran in the high 4.4s in the 40 at his pro day, flies to the football and excels in one-high safety coverages. His ball production and range stood out at Arizona, but he had a glaring missed tackle rate. They were often a result of the poor angles he is prone to taking and attacking downhill recklessly. If teams can live with his missed tackles at times, Smith can be a ball-hawking single-high safety.<\/p>\n

55. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech<\/a>
\n6013
231
\n4.57
\nRodriguez, who had a strong testing day at the Combine, is an instinctual linebacker who plays with excellent urgency and has a nose for the football in tracking down running backs and getting his hands on the football. He struggles stacking and shedding consistently in the box as a smaller linebacker. He can get manipulated in coverage over the middle of the field, but the 2025 Bednarik and Butkus award winner projects as a run-and-chase backer who can make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n

56. Malachi Fields, WR
Notre Dame<\/a>
\n6044
218
\n4.61
\nFields is a big-bodied receiver with solid athleticism and field-stretching ability. Because he is a taller receiver, he doesn\u2019t always sink his hips well in and out of route-running breaks and often has to make jump-ball receptions downfield because he doesn\u2019t have breakaway speed, as shown in his Combine 40 time. But he is a fantastic ball winner with excellent body control and reliable hands to win 50\/50 throws downfield.<\/p>\n

57. LT Overton, EDGE Alabama<\/a>
\n6030
274
\n4.87
\nOverton is a big, physical defensive lineman who can play from multiple alignments. He shows powerful hands, a nasty long arm on run downs, and has stack-and-shed ability. His best reps come as an interior defender, which could very well be his position after a much slower 40 time than most typical edge rushers coupled with a lack of bend and flexibility off the edge. Overton is a physically imposing player with strong hands and power to be an excellent NFL run defender with pocket-pushing power.<\/p>\n

58. Emmanuel Pregnon, OG Oregon<\/a>
\n6042
314
\n5.21
\nPregnon, who is a solid athlete for his size, is a stout offensive lineman with a strong anchor, power and leg drive in the run game. He also recognizes and passes off stunts with relative ease. His pad level is spotty, and he doesn\u2019t always consistently climb to the second level as a run blocker, but he has experience at both guard spots with borderline NFL starter-level tape.<\/p>\n

59. Germie Bernard, WR Alabama<\/a>
\n6012
206
\n4.48
\nBernard, who has solid athleticism across the board, is a smooth athlete with the route-running feel to find the soft spots against zone coverage and generates enough separation while working in the boundary. He isn\u2019t an overly explosive athlete, and his lack of a second gear will prevent him from being a primary receiving option. But his ability to create after the catch coupled with reliable, strong hands while working over the middle of the field will make him a nice WR2 or WR3 for an NFL team.<\/p>\n

60. Davison Igbinosun, CB Ohio State<\/a>
\n6021
189
\n4.45
\nIgbinosun is a physical outside corner who makes life difficult for opposing receivers. He disrupts timing by jamming receivers and altering their release path. He also has the length and linear speed to defend vertical passes downfield. He is feisty, competes at the catch point, and had excellent ball production in college. Penalties were a negative for him (21 over the last two years) but became far less of an issue in 2025. He projects best though in a zone coverage-based scheme where he can get his hands on receivers at the line of scrimmage and minimize some of his one-on-one targets against speedy wideouts.<\/p>\n

61. Oscar Delp, TE Georgia<\/a>
\n6050
245
\n4.48
\nDespite underwhelming college production, Delp, who tested well after a hairline fracture was found in his foot at the Combine, has an explosive, yards-after-catch skill set with some blocking skills on the move that will help him carve out an NFL role. He has a nice route-running pace with speed to threaten the seams. He is neither strong enough nor has the blocking technique to be a full-time NFL in-line tight end, but his receiving ability will be valued by teams.<\/p>\n

62. Jake Golday, LB Cincinnati<\/a>
\n6044
239
\n4.62
\nGolday is an excellent athlete, which he proved at the Combine, who took most of his snaps in 2025 as an overhang defender. However, it\u2019s easy to see his twitchiness closing on ball carriers from depth and flowing to make tackles in space and behind the line of scrimmage. He also shows some promise as a middle-of-the-field coverage defender, but his block-deconstruction ability and feel in the box both need to improve. He projects as a WILL linebacker who can stay on the field on third downs in coverage as he continues to develop his feel for playing inside the box.<\/p>\n

63. Zakee Wheatley, S
Penn State<\/a>
\n6020
203
\n4.62
\nWheatley, who ran a 40 slower than expected at his pro day, showcased consistency filling downhill to run the alley, making plays as a single-high safety, and getting his hands on passes when he was targeted or in the area. He can come downhill a little too recklessly but does a nice job covering ground in coverage and as a run defender to fit a top-down role in the NFL.<\/p>\n

64. Kyle Louis, LB\/S Pittsburgh<\/a>
\n5117
220
\n4.53
\nLouis is an explosive player though he is undersized for the linebacker position. He has tremendous instincts, closing speed, and route-recognition ability to undercut routes in man and zone coverages. He is fast enough, as he showed at the Combine, to outrun blocks as a run defender but not strong enough to stack and shed consistently. However, the coverage upside is too great for him to not find an NFL role as a dime linebacker or even as a nickel back.<\/p>\n

65. Antonio Williams, WR Clemson<\/a>
\n5114
187
\n4.41
\nWilliams was banged up early in the 2025 season, but a team will find value in his field-stretching ability and winning one-on-one matchups primarily as a slot receiver. A willing blocker who excels attacking the middle of the field and vertically when matched up with safeties and nickels, Williams does his most damage after the catch and has the wheels to break loose, as he proved with his 40 time.<\/p>\n

66. Max Klare, TE
Ohio State<\/a>
\n6040
246
\nN\/A
\nKlare, who opted not to test athletically, is a fluid mover with solid speed to get open from tight and wide-out alignments. He has the effort and technique to be a solid run blocker as well. He is not dynamic after the catch and is a decent-but-not-great separator as a route runner but can win vertically and up the seam. He projects as a second or third option in a tight end room.<\/p>\n

67. Keionte Scott, CB Miami (FL)<\/a>
\n5112
193
\n4.33
\nScott, who ran a blazing fast 4.33 40 at his pro day, plays with his hair on fire, blows up screens and run plays, and is a physical coverage player who can force turnovers. That play style can get him in trouble with missed tackles and being out of position, but his ability to play multiple spots in the secondary and his physicality working downhill give him the chance to find an NFL role at either nickel or safety.<\/p>\n

68. Caleb Tiernan, OT Northwestern<\/a>
\n6080
323
\nN\/A
\nTiernan, who had the best vertical jump at the Combine among offensive linemen, is a technically refined prospect with smooth feet. He consistently hits his targets as a run blocker and pass protector. His lack of length shows up against edge rushers, and he struggles to refit his hands after he\u2019s knocked backward or out of position. But he\u2019s a quality player with spot level-starting skills. At worst, he can be a depth offensive tackle or interior lineman.<\/p>\n

69. Gennings Dunker, OG Iowa<\/a>
\n6050
319
\n5.18
\nA three-year starter at right tackle for Iowa, Dunker displayed the power to displace defensive linemen in the run game and anchor down against power rushers. He is a decent athlete but lacks the foot quickness and recovery ability to last at tackle. If he can play with better pad level and consistency on a down-to-down basis, he can turn into an eventual starter as an interior lineman on a gap-scheme running team.<\/p>\n

70. A.J. Haulcy, S
LSU<\/a>
\n5115
215
\n4.52
\nHaulcy, who ran a solid 40 time at the Combine, is a middle-of-the-field safety who is at his best when attacking downhill and driving on passes developing in front of him. His ball skills, ability to run the alley and deliver jarring hits, and route recognition stand out. He will likely not be tasked with playing single-high coverages in the NFL and is an average man-coverage defender.<\/p>\n

71. Zachariah Branch, WR Georgia<\/a>
\n5085
177
\n4.35
\nBranch, who proved his explosiveness at the Combine, is dynamic with the ball in his hands with the speed to take the top off a defense. But he is a tough evaluation because he was primarily used on passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. He\u2019s also an undersized receiver who was not asked to play outside much or run the full route tree. He projects as at least a productive NFL slot receiver.<\/p>\n

72. Garrett Nussmeier, QB
LSU<\/a>
\n6020
203
\nN\/A
\nExpectations for Nussmeier\u2019s 2025 season were not matched, but in a weak QB class, he\u2019s rehabilitated his draft stock with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and he threw well at the Combine. He has an adequate arm, confidence attacking all areas of the field, and negotiates the pocket well. But he struggles as a decision maker and too often doesn\u2019t live to fight another down. He projects as an NFL spot starter\/backup.<\/p>\n

73. Ted Hurst, WR
Georgia State<\/a>
\n6037
206
\n4.42
\nA linear wide receiver who makes most of his money after the catch or in contested-catch situations, Hurst has the body type and speed to be an X receiver in the NFL. He had some concentration drops in 2025 and is not a big-time separator, but his long speed, which he proved at Indy, and strong hands will allow him to carve out an NFL role.<\/p>\n

74. Domonique Orange, DT Iowa State<\/a>
\n6020
322
\nN\/A
\nKnown as \u201cBig Citrus,\u201d Orange, who has not yet worked out during the pre-draft process, is a space-eating defensive tackle with heavy hands to knock back offensive linemen and adequate quickness to make plays in either gap when he aligns as nose tackle. Like most players of his skill set and size, he does not offer much as a pass rusher other than an occasional bull rush. But he projects as a run-stuffing nose tackle who can give an NFL defense an immediate boost on run downs.<\/p>\n

75. Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE Penn State<\/a>
\n6055
256
\n4.63
\nDennis-Sutton, who was among the best testers at the Combine, is a linear player with heavy hands and enough juice to win in multiple alignments, including as a 4-3 defensive end and in reduced formations. He utilizes his length to stack and shed as a run defender, and though he primarily wins with push-pull pass rushes or speed to power, Dennis-Sutton is a reliable three-down player who can be a nice NFL EDGE 2 or EDGE 3.<\/p>\n

76. Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana<\/a>
\n6024
210
\nN\/A
\nSarratt is a big-bodied wideout who is quicker off the line of scrimmage than he is fast and truly excels in utilizing his body and athleticism to make catches in tightly contested quarters. He\u2019s a crisp route runner who can attack open space in zone coverage but is a below average separator who struggles to shake away from defensive backs at route breaks. He projects as a power slot\/possession receiver who can make tough catches on critical third downs.<\/p>\n

77. Kamari Ramsey, Safety\/Nickel USC<\/a>
\n6002
202
\n4.47
\nRamsey played more nickel than safety out of necessity for USC\u2019s defense, and didn\u2019t look out of place doing so, even though he\u2019s a more natural fit at the roof of a defense. He has nice click-and-close ability, recovery speed to close on deep passes, and doesn\u2019t mind running the alley in the ground game. His run-game angles and lack of ball production leave more to be desired, but he projects as an early starter in his NFL career, at nickel or safety.<\/p>\n

78. Keith Abney II, CB Arizona State<\/a>
\n5100
187
\nN\/A
\nAbney is sticky in coverage and is extremely competitive at the catch point, though his average size at corner allows bigger and more nuanced route runners to take advantage of him. His off-coverage click-and-close ability stands out, and if his zone-coverage eyes and route-recognition skills continue to improve, he can be a nice complementary CB2 in the NFL.<\/p>\n

79. Bryce Lance, WR North Dakota State<\/a>
\n6033
204
\n4.34
\nLance has natural speed and vertical-threat ability to fit into an NFL offense. He also tracks the ball well, has the toughness to make contested catches, and can create after the catch with the ball in his hands. He does, however, need to be more physical against defensive backs who jam or re-route him, and he lets the ball get into his body in tight coverage then can lead to pass breakups. Still, he projects as a vertical Z receiver who can also take snaps in the slot.<\/p>\n

80. Daylen Everette, CB Georgia<\/a>
\n6012
196
\n4.38
\nEverette is a physical, press man corner who can mirror at the line of scrimmage, disrupt at the catch point, and is a willing tackler in run support. He can get grabby when he is beat during a rep and needs to find the ball better when he is isolated on an island, but he projects as a starting CB2 in the NFL.<\/p>\n

81. Sam Hecht, C Kansas State<\/a>
\n6041
303
\n5.10
\nHecht is a stoutly built lineman with nice movement skills to block on the move. He keeps his hands inside defenders\u2019 frame while blocking them and does a nice job sorting out defensive line stunts crossing his face or going away from him. His lack of length and lack of power show up in the run game with his struggles to move defensive linemen, but he works well on double-teams and can take over starting duties early in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

82. Malachi Lawrence, EDGE UCF<\/a>
\n6040
253
\n4.52
\nLawrence is a twitchy, bendy edge rusher who utilizes his length to his advantage and can win on the inside and outside shoulders of offensive tackles. His push-pull and swim moves are especially effective. He doesn\u2019t control the line of scrimmage consistently as a run defender, struggling to get off blocks, but if NFL teams are looking for upgrade their edge-rusher room with more juice, Lawrence can do that immediately.<\/p>\n

83. Sam Roush, TE Stanford<\/a>
\n6060
267
\n4.70
\nRoush runs his routes with urgency and does a nice job with his route pacing and finding soft spots in zone coverage over the middle of the field. He displays effort as a blocker, though is not always consistent because of his lack of arm length. He at the very least can be a move or insert blocker and has the athleticism to attack the seams and create separation in man coverage.<\/p>\n

84. Skyler Bell, WR UConn<\/a>
\n5115
192
\n4.40
\nBell is an older receiver prospect but has inside-out versatility and is a precise route runner who consistently creates separation. He has a limited catch radius and does not offer much as far as creating after the catch. But Bell projects as a productive NFL starter as a WR2 or WR3.<\/p>\n

85. Darrell Jackson Jr., DT Florida State<\/a>
\n6054
315
\nN\/A
\nJackson is a massive defensive tackle who thrives as a run defender by using his length and upper-body power to lock out and shed interior defensive linemen. He doesn\u2019t offer much as a pass rusher outside of a bull rush and doesn\u2019t always handle double-teams well, but in one-on-one, run-down situations, he\u2019s tough to deal with and projects as an early-down interior lineman in an attacking defensive front.<\/p>\n

86. Jalon Kilgore, Safety\/Nickel South Carolina<\/a>
\n6013
210
\n4.40
\nKilgore, who had exceptional ball production over the last two seasons, is an active run defender who displays physicality on underneath routes as a nickel and has the speed to carry and make plays on vertical routes downfield. He played more nickel than safety in college and often got grabby in man coverage, but his value in multiple spots in the secondary will be attractive to NFL teams.<\/p>\n

87. Jonah Coleman, RB Washington<\/a>
\n5080
220
\nN\/A
\nColeman is a small, compact running back with excellent feel and vision for cutback lanes and the contact balance to bounce off tacklers in the open field. He is also an asset as a pass protector, which should allow him to see early snaps in the NFL. He doesn\u2019t have breakaway speed and doesn\u2019t add much as a receiver out of the backfield, but he will get early touches in the NFL due to his knack of finding holes and finishing runs with authority.<\/p>\n

88. Julian Neal, CB Arkansas<\/a>
\n6015
203
\n4.49
\nNeal is a long, physical corner who wants to disrupt wide receivers\u2019 timing at the line of scrimmage and can drive and finish on routes developing in front of him in off-coverage alignments. He struggles in press-coverage scenarios where a receiver is twitchy or quick off the line of scrimmage and while his recovery speed is solid, he is susceptible to getting beat deep. Neal projects as a solid off-man coverage corner who will be at his best in a zone-coverage system that allows him to break and drive on the football.<\/p>\n

89. Justin Joly, TE NC State<\/a>
\n6034
241
\nN\/A
\nJoly is a polished route runner who can stretch a defense vertically with his speed and find soft spots over the middle of the field against zone coverage. While he is a solid but not great blocker, his best usage in the run game is on the move or out in space. His lack of production and physicality at times likely makes him an \u201cF\u201d type of tight end, but he has reliable hands and a nice feel for the position as a receiver.<\/p>\n

90. Markel Bell, OT Miami (FL)<\/a>
\n6092
346
\n5.36
\nBell is a massive offensive tackle with excellent feet in pass protection and the length to make it difficult for edge rushers to get around him. He has a light lower half that shows up when he\u2019s trying to move defensive linemen and edge rushers off their spot in the run game. He also plays with high pad level because of his size, but he projects as a developmental tackle who can start in the NFL within a year or two if his pad level becomes more consistent.<\/p>\n

91. Eli Stowers, TE Vanderbilt<\/a>
\n6036
239
\n4.51
\nStowers tested off the charts at the NFL Combine and is an explosive tight end who is more receiver than an in-line player. His play strength needs to improve, especially at the catch point, and he doesn\u2019t offer much as a blocker, if anything. But he projects as a H-back\/slot receiver who can be a nice vertical threat and can win routes against safeties and linebackers.<\/p>\n

92. Mike Washington Jr., RB Arkansas<\/a>
\n6010
223
\n4.33
\nWashington was a surprise breakout player this season, using a blend of explosiveness to break off long runs and power to finish runs through contact. He\u2019s a decisive runner in the hole, though he doesn\u2019t add much yet as a receiver out of the backfield and has struggled with fumbles in his career. He projects as a role player in a by-committee approach in an NFL backfield.<\/p>\n

93. Anthony Hill Jr., LB Texas<\/a>
\n6020
238
\n4.51
\nHill is a physical, downhill linebacker who has the speed to run and chase and has the versatility to be an effective blitzer on passing downs. He rarely misses tackles and has had flashes of solid zone coverage, although it\u2019s not consistent down to down. He\u2019s a little too stiff to be a full-time pass rusher and can be a little slow to diagnose plays, but Hill fits the modern NFL as a WILL or SAM backer who can make plays in space and get after the quarterback.<\/p>\n

94. Jalen Farmer, OG Kentucky<\/a>
\n6047
312
\n4.93
\nFarmer is a strong and physical offensive lineman who thrives in displacing defensive linemen on double-team blocks and can anchor against power as a pass rusher. He is a rigid athlete who can struggle to block moving targets and is susceptible to getting beat on his outside shoulder when forced to move quickly laterally. He projects as a depth interior player who could eventually fight for a starting spot.<\/p>\n

95. Trey Zuhn III, IOL Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6064
312
\nN\/A
\nZuhn played mostly left tackle at Texas A&M, but he will almost certainly be an interior player and possibly a center in the NFL He pops out of his stance and has nice quickness and mirroring ability, despite his lack of length. His functional strength and recovery ability can improve, and he projects as a depth interior offensive line player who could eventually develop into a long-term center.<\/p>\n

96. Devin Moore, CB Florida<\/a>
\n6032
198
\n4.50
\nMoore could be ranked much higher on this list if not for an injury-plagued college career. A taller corner with fluid hips, recovery ability, and plus ball skills, he could quickly emerge as an NFL starter. Because he\u2019s a taller corner, his click-and-close ability isn\u2019t always smooth, but he has great coverage eyes and attacks the football in the air. He could easily outplay his draft slot.<\/p>\n

97. Deion Burks, WR Oklahoma<\/a>
\n5096
180
\n4.30
\nBurks is a smaller receiver but is dynamic after the catch and is a true vertical threat from the slot and the boundary. His lack of length, tendency to round off routes, and struggles to make catches through contact likely make him a slot only player in the NFL. But he is fast and sudden at the route break and can create explosive plays with the ball in his hands.<\/p>\n

98. Chandler Rivers, CB Duke<\/a>
\n5094
185
\n4.40
\nRivers has the inside-out versatility to play both the corner and nickel spots and has made plays from a variety of alignments in the secondary. His instincts in coverage and ability to play through the hands of wide receivers allow him to make plays on the ball at nickel and as an outside defensive back. He is a willing tackler but needs to clean up his angles. He is prone to whiffing on tackles and is susceptible to getting beat vertically on double moves, but Rivers can carve out a role early in his career, likely as a nickel corner.<\/p>\n

99. Drew Allar, QB Penn State<\/a>
\n6052
228
\nN\/A
\nAllar was disappointing in 2025 and is erratic when throwing to all areas of the field, but his strong arm, size, and functional mobility inside and out of the pocket make him a polarizing projection in this draft. His footwork and throwing base need work and he has to limit his tendency to aim throws rather than throwing with confidence. Allar will need time to develop and at best could be a low-end starting NFL quarterback.<\/p>\n

100. Romello Height, EDGE Texas Tech<\/a>
\n6026
239
\n4.64
\nHeight is a lean edge rusher who has an explosive burst off the line of scrimmage and is relentless getting after the quarterback. Because he has a lean frame, Height struggles with shedding blocks in the run game. He\u2019s also an older prospect, set to turn 25 this fall. He projects as a pass-rush specialist at the NFL level who will rely on his twitchiness to win.<\/p>\n

101. Travis Burke, OT Memphis<\/a>
\n6086
325
\n5.17
\nBurke, a tall offensive tackle, gets after it in the run game, consistently driving defenders through the ground, and utilizes his arm length, size to slow down pass rushers. Because of his size, he plays with high pad level, and his lack of foot quickness can give him trouble against twitchy pass rushers. He has experience playing both tackle spots and projects as a developmental player with swing tackle potential.<\/p>\n

102. Brenen Thompson, WR Mississippi State<\/a>
\n5093
164
\n4.26
\nEven though Thompson is likely a gadget, vertical threat at the NFL level, he has three-level speed with an excellent release package to beat press man coverage at the line of scrimmage. As speedy as he is, Thompson doesn\u2019t force a lot of missed tackles, and his lack of size is apparent on contested-catch situations. He projects at the next level as a WR3 or WR4 who can be utilized on a vertical plane in an offense looking to manufacture downfield shots.<\/p>\n

103. Zane Durant, DT Penn State<\/a>
\n6011
290
\n4.75
\nDurant is a sawed-off defensive tackle who has an explosive first step and gap-shooting ability as a run defender. Because he\u2019s a smaller player, Durant can get swallowed up in the run game and his lack of length can make it difficult for him to launch a counter move as a pass rusher. Durant won\u2019t be a three-down player early in his career but projects rotational, disruptive three-technique in the NFL.<\/p>\n

104. Dae\u2019Quan Wright, TE Ole Miss<\/a>
\n6040
246
\nN\/A
\nWright is a linear tight end who utilizes his big frame well and can elevate and extend on passes that are outside of his frame. He is a build-to-speed player who is a solid but not great blocker, mostly executing his best blocks as a move player. His ceiling is an effective seam stretcher and red zone threat who can be a nice complement to other players in a tight end room with his impressive athleticism at his size.<\/p>\n

105. Jude Bowry, OT Boston College<\/a>
\n6051
314
\n5.08
\nBowry is an athletic tackle who explodes out of his stance and has a nice tool bag of pass-pro approaches (short set, three-step set) and pass-pro techniques (snatch-trap, flash technique). His hands can be more active in replacing when they get swatted off and he slips off run blocks too frequently to be an effective run blocker early in his NFL career. He projects as a developmental tackle who could develop into a low-end starter or swing tackle.<\/p>\n

106. Joshua Josephs, EDGE Tennessee<\/a>
\n6030
242
\nN\/A
\nThe speed and length that Josephs possesses especially stand out as a pass rusher. He can turn the corner, control reps with his length, and showcase his relentless effort to get to the quarterback. He is a one-trick pony right now as a speed rusher and doesn\u2019t always use his hands well to shed books as a run defender. He projects as a developmental player who has the skill set to become a productive NFL pass rusher.<\/p>\n

107. Brian Parker II, IOL Duke<\/a>
\n6052
309
\n5.14
\nParker is another tackle who is set to move inside at the NFL level after arriving at Duke as a center prospect. He has excellent grip strength, does a nice job redirecting his hands if they\u2019re swatted off, and works well on double-teams to climb to linebackers. He has middling athleticism that shows up when he\u2019s asked to climb or block in space and his lack of length shows up when pass rushers get into his chest. He projects as a depth interior player who can fill a need at center for an NFL team.<\/p>\n

108. Keyshaun Elliott, LB Arizona State<\/a>
\n6020
231
\nN\/A
\nElliott is a physical, downhill linebacker who has excellent eyes to diagnose and close on plays as a run defender and has the speed to cover and close on passes to the flat. He does a pretty good job navigating traffic in coverage and is a solid blitzer on passing downs. He lacks some overall athleticism to make plays in the backfield, and he can get caught up while trying to disengage from blocks. He projects as a depth linebacker who will likely have to earn an early role on special teams.<\/p>\n

109. Malik Muhammad, CB Texas<\/a>
\n6000
182
\n4.42
\nMuhammad is a slender but physical corner who can press at the line of scrimmage and drive on throws from off coverage. His athleticism pops, especially when he has to click and close, and he has the speed to turn and run with wide receivers. His slender frame especially shows up as a tackler in space, and he can get grabby at the top of routes against more physically imposing wide receivers. He does have the ball skills and scheme versatility to fit in most NFL defenses as a depth corner who can challenge for a starting spot during his rookie contract.<\/p>\n

110. Bud Clark, Safety\/Nickel TCU<\/a>
\n6007
188
\n4.41
\nClark may be undersized, but he is a fearless, versatile secondary player with outstanding ball production and closing speed to break on passes thrown in his zone or when he\u2019s in man coverage. He\u2019s at his best working the roof of a defense, and while his tackling consistency and tendency to get grabby in man coverage needs to improve, Clark has a chance to carve out an NFL role as a nickel or safety.<\/p>\n

111. Tyler Onyedim, DL Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6034
292
\nN\/A
\nPlaying multiple spots along the Aggies\u2019 defensive line, Onyedim has short-area quickness and uses his length (34-inch arms) to bench press offensive linemen and make plays as a run defender. He also has some juice as a pass rusher and in shooting gaps. While his pass rush plan and ability to handle double teams needs to improve, he projects as a rotational defensive lineman.<\/p>\n

112. Bryce Boettcher, LB Oregon<\/a>
\n6010
233
\nN\/A
\nBoettcher has excellent range and the motor to run and chase at linebacker and to diagnose and trigger in the run game. His lack of hip fluidity and eye discipline on play-action passes can leave him out of position. His coverage ability is solid on throws in front of him, but he struggles with deeper-zone drops. He projects as a depth linebacker who will need to find a home on special teams early in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

113. Carson Beck, QB Miami (FL)<\/a>
\n6046
233
\nN\/A
\nBeck has deep ball touch, can read through progressions in a passing concept, and got the ball quickly out of his hands in his final season at Miami. UCL surgery on his elbow took away some of his velocity to drive footballs over the middle of the field and on long throws toward the sideline, but his experience, functional mobility, and decisiveness will make him a long-term backup with the chance to start NFL games.<\/p>\n

114. Devon Marshall, CB NC State<\/a>
\n5103
\n197
\nMarshall is one of the most disruptive corners in the draft. He has excellent anticipatory skills breaking on underneath routes, shows the ability to turn and run on passes downfield, and is physical through the catch point. His downfield speed and tendency to get grabby at the top of routes are areas of concern, but he\u2019s got the ball skills and coverage ability to quickly ascend an NFL depth chart.<\/p>\n

115. De\u2019Zhaun Stribling, WR Ole Miss<\/a>
\n6021
207
\nN\/A
\nStribling is a versatile wideout who can win vertically from multiple alignments, can win in contested-catch scenarios, and can create after the catch. He is a solid route runner but won\u2019t be a high-level separator in the NFL. Still, he has power-slot ability and can be a nice WR3 option at the NFL level.<\/p>\n

116. Jake Slaughter, C Florida<\/a>
\n6050
303
\n5.10
\nSlaughter is a stoutly built, center-only prospect who has excellent grip strength, recovery ability in pass protection, and enough athleticism to cut off interior defensive linemen and climb to the second level in the run game. He struggles generating displacement in solo blocks in the run game and his lack of length leaves him vulnerable to push-pull pass rushes, but Slaughter has the skill set to compete for a starting job early in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

117. Will Lee, CB Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6014
189
\n4.52
\nLee is a lanky defensive back with excellent press-coverage physicality, click-and-close ability and ball skills at the catch point. He struggles tackling in the open field and does not always find the ball cleanly in man coverage situations on downfield throws. He projects as a depth defensive back who will need to earn a role on special teams to see the field early in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

118. Nicholas Singleton, RB Penn State<\/a>
\n6000
219
\nN\/A
\nSingleton is an explosive running back who has breakaway speed as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. He is also a willing pass protector in the backfield. His vision, contact balance, and overall feel for the position are inconsistent and he has a tendency to bounce plays or miss cutback lanes. But his athleticism and speed will allow him to find the field early in his career as long as he can consistently take what is in front of him instead of trying to create big plays on every touch.<\/p>\n

119. Jaishawn Barham, EDGE\/LB Michigan<\/a>
\n6034
240
\n4.64
\nBarham is a former off-ball linebacker who was utilized more as an edge rusher in his final season at Michigan. That is where he projects best in the NFL as a fluid, twitchy player who primarily relies on his athleticism. He cannot consistently yet stack and shed blockers and will run himself out of plays by working vertically without re-direct. He projects as a developmental pass rusher who has the flexibility to drop into coverage, too.<\/p>\n

120. Nick Barrett, DT South Carolina<\/a>
\n6027
312
\n5.10
\nBarrett is a big nose tackle with space eating ability as a run defender with his heavy hands and plays with nice leverage to get under the pads of interior offensive linemen. He doesn\u2019t offer much as a pass rusher and is an OK athlete, but his run-stuffing ability will make him valued as a two-down player in the NFL.<\/p>\n

121. Nate Boerkircher, TE Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6054
245
\nN\/A
\nBoerkircher is one of the few true \u201cY\u201d tight ends in this draft class, doing the dirty work as an in-line blocker and finding soft spots in the middle of zone coverage. He didn\u2019t have overwhelming production in college and lacks high-end athleticism needed to be more than a TE2 at the NFL level. But Boerkircher is the type who sticks around as a sub-package player with value in a tight end room.<\/p>\n

122. Austin Barber, OT Florida<\/a>
\n6067
318
\n5.12
\nBarber is a well-built tackle with excellent grip strength and pop in his hands. He has an aggressive run-blocking demeanor and a nasty snatch-trap technique that can keep edge rushers on their toes. He is solid in the run game, but struggles to recover as a pass protector and is susceptible to dipping his head upon contact, causing him to lose control of reps. He has decent athleticism but overall projects as a depth offensive lineman who could develop into a swing tackle in the NFL.<\/p>\n

123. Ja\u2019Kobi Lane, WR USC<\/a>
\n6040
200
\n4.47
\nLane is a big, linear receiver who does his best work in contested catch situations and has outstanding catch radius and body control when the football is in the air on vertical routes. He does not change direction well and needs work as a route runner, but he projects as a red zone threat and big-bodied vertical threat.<\/p>\n

124. Nadame Tucker, EDGE Western Michigan
\n6017
247
\n4.73
\nTucker is a slender but effective, high-motor edge rusher who can turn the corner and close to finish. He is a late bloomer and older prospect who may have a capped ceiling since he struggles to stack and shed as a run blocker due to his lack of length. He projects as a sub-package edge rusher who can find a role as a rotational player in the NFL.<\/p>\n

125. Connor Lew, C Auburn<\/a>
\n6034
310
\nN\/A
\nLew\u2019s projection is muddied with him coming off an ACL injury, but he\u2019s got excellent grip strength, functional mobility, and independent hand usage to keep interior pass rushers at bay. His lack of leg drive and not consistently displacing defensive linemen can limit his effectiveness, and he needs to fill out more of his frame to harness more of his untapped power in his profile. He projects as a developmental center who could compete for a starting job by his second year in the NFL.<\/p>\n

126. Emmett Johnson, RB Nebraska<\/a>
\n5102
202
\n4.36
\nJohnson is a downhill runner who quickly and decisively finds the hole and hits it with urgency. He also brings an added boost as a receiver out of the backfield. He doesn\u2019t create much after the catch and does not hit second gear in the open field, which has caused him to get chased down from behind. But his running style and vision will give him a rotational running back role in a committee approach in the NFL.<\/p>\n

127. Kaleb Proctor, DL Southeastern Louisiana<\/a>
\n6020
291
\n4.79
\nProctor is a twitchy athlete who utilizes his speed and heavy hands to win as a pass rusher and run defender. He\u2019s undersized and struggles detaching from bigger, more powerful linemen, but brings enough juice as a pass rush\/stunt player who can develop into a rotational player in an NFL defensive line room.<\/p>\n

128. Jadon Canady DB\/S, Oregon<\/a>
\n5104
181
\nN\/A
\nCanady, experienced at nickel and safety, has excellent instincts, ball skills, and can undercut routes in man coverage. He does a pretty good job evading blockers from the slot, but his small stature and lack of length could make him a slot only player in the NFL.<\/p>\n

129. Dallen Bentley, TE Utah
\n6041
253
\n4.62
\nBentley did his most damage up the seam as a receiver and has a knack for finding the soft spots in zone coverage. His blocking needs major improvement to be an effective three-down NFL player, but he projects as a depth tight end who could eventually develop into a TE2.<\/p>\n

130. Kaytron Allen, RB Penn State<\/a>
\n5110
216
\nN\/A
\nAllen is a bruising running back with excellent vision and downhill ability to break off chunk-yardage gains. He lacks the long speed to be a true home run threat and is lacking as a receiver out of the backfield. But he can be a short-yardage\/change-of-pace back who can be an asset in a by-committee approach in an NFL backfield.<\/p>\n

131. Logan Jones, C Iowa<\/a>
\n6027
299
\n4.90
\nJones is a smaller offensive lineman likely scheme dependent as an outside-zone blocker, so everyone won\u2019t be in on him as a prospect. But he excels at getting underneath the pads of interior defensive linemen, cutting them off on outside runs, and climbing to the second and third level of a defense.<\/p>\n

132. Keyron Crawford, EDGE Auburn<\/a>
\n6043
253
\nN\/A
\nCrawford is an athletic, high effort pass rusher who relies on his quickness to win as a pass rusher. He doesn\u2019t always play as big as his size suggests he should and struggles setting the edge, but he\u2019s a developmental edge rusher worth betting on his tools on Day 3.<\/p>\n

133. Harold Perkins Jr., LB LSU<\/a>
\n6010
223
\nN\/A
\nPerkins is an enigma in this draft class. On one hand, he\u2019s got linear speed and can get after the quarterback as a blitzer or against heavy footed linemen. On the other hand, he\u2019s too small to play linebacker and not quite fast enough to play nickel. He\u2019s at his best attacking downhill and affecting the action with an attacking mindset.<\/p>\n

134. Cole Payton, QB North Dakota State<\/a>
\n6025
232
\n4.56
\nPayton, a one-year starter for the Bison, has a nice deep-ball touch on vertical throws, shows a strong arm to make throws at all three levels of a defense, and is an extremely athletic player who excelled so much as a runner that the staff used him in run-only packages early in his career. The lack of experience at the position, facing FCS-level competition, and not knowing when to let a play die are key reasons he will go on Day 3.<\/p>\n

135. Chris McClellan, DT Missouri<\/a>
\n6040
313
\nN\/A
\nMcClellan has nice initial quickness, pop in his hands, and relies on the arm over pass rush move to generate quick wins in the interior. He doesn\u2019t always consistently stack and shed and struggles to anchor against double teams, but he can be a rotational defensive linemen with his pass rushing juice.<\/p>\n

136. Taurean York, LB Texas A&M<\/a>
\n5110
226
\nN\/A
\nYork is an undersized linebacker who has excellent instincts and awareness and can shoot gaps and rush the quarterback as a blitzer. He is limited athletically, has a hard time detaching from blocks, and doesn\u2019t have the speed to keep up with tight ends and running backs in the pass game. He projects as a depth linebacker who will need to make an impact on special teams.<\/p>\n

137. Kevin Coleman Jr., WR Missouri<\/a>
\n5102
179
\n4.49
\nColeman is a slot receiver more quick than fast, can create after the catch with the ball in his hands, and has a nice feel for finding holes in zone coverage. Because he\u2019s small, he is a slot only player, doesn\u2019t have much length which limits his contested catch ability, and doesn\u2019t offer much as a blocker. He has return ability and will likely by a WR4\/5 candidate in a receiver room.<\/p>\n

138. Eli Raridon, TE Notre Dame<\/a>
\n6061
245
\n4.62
\nRaridon has vertical seam stretching ability, a nice catch radius with reliable hands, and blocking effort and technique that can get him on the field early in his career. He is not a natural separator running routes and needs to add mass to his frame but he has TE2 or TE3 potential in the NFL.<\/p>\n

139. Carver Willis, OT Washington
\n6050
303
\n5.11
\nWillis won\u2019t be big enough to play tackle in the NFL, but his run blocking ability and tenacity, strong pop in his hands in pass protection, and quick feet will allow him to make a transition to guard. He must get stronger and play more inside his frame, but his versatility playing both tackle spots makes him a candidate for a swing linemen in an NFL offensive line room.<\/p>\n

140. Josh Cameron, WR Baylor<\/a>
\n6014
220
\nN\/A
\nCameron is a big-bodied possession receiver who has strong hands at the catch point and knows how to box out defenders in contested catch situations and comes back to attack the ball on curl routes and crossers. His lack of top end speed, inability to consistently create separation, are limiting factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

141. Jack Endries, TE Texas<\/a>
\n6045
245
\n4.62
\nEndries is a seam stretching tight end who has the effort and movement skills to block in-line and is a reliable catcher over the middle of the field. His route running needs to improve and he is more of a move blocker rather than generating movement in-line, but he projects as an NFL TE3 with TE2 upside.<\/p>\n

142. Keagen Trost, OG Missouri<\/a>
\n6045
311
\nN\/A
\nTrost, who has experience at both tackle spots, will likely move to guard with his short arms. He\u2019s a physical downhill blocker with a sturdy pass pro anchor and powerful punch. His lack of foot quickness likely makes him a better fit for a gap scheme offense.<\/p>\n

143. Michael Trigg, TE Baylor<\/a>
\n6040
240
\nN\/A
\nTrigg is a mismatch nightmare for safeties, linebackers, and smaller cornerbacks with his catch radius and athleticism downfield and is more receiver than tight end in that regard. He is a frustrating watch because of his lack of blocking ability and effort and struggles in contested catch situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

144. Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LB TCU<\/a>
\n6020
234
\n4.47
\nElarms-Orr, despite having short arms, has great instincts, range, and coverage ability to match up with tight ends and hit his depths in zone coverage. But he struggles with stacking and shedding consistently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

145, Charles Demmings, DB Stephen F. Austin<\/a>
\n6011
193
\n4.41
\nDemmings is a physical, press man corner who has length to get his hands on the football consistently and can locate the football while in coverage phase downfield. He can be a step slow transitioning out of his backpedal and closing on routes developing in front of him and has average zone coverage instincts. It likely makes him a depth piece in a secondary room.<\/p>\n

146. Cade Klubnik, QB Clemson<\/a>
\n6017
206
\nN\/A
\nKlubnik is an experienced three-year starter who has the mobility to create outside the pocket and enough arm strength to attack all areas of the field. His decision-making and downfield accuracy need to be more consistent, as he struggled in 2025 attacking vertically and driving those deep outside-the-numbers routes. If he can become more consistent in driving throws in between the numbers, he has spot starter ability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

147. Febechi Nwaiwu,, OG Oklahoma<\/a>
\n6042
319
\nN\/A
\nNwaiwu has experience at nearly every spot on the offensive line and is a sturdy run blocker who works well in double teams and has the strength to displace defensive linemen and grip strength to anchor down in pass protection. His lack of foot quickness and movement skills can give him issues when defenders cross his face or counter him in pass pro. He projects as a swing offensive linemen capable of playing multiple spots.<\/p>\n

148. Le\u2019Veon Moss, RB Texas A&M<\/a>
\n5110
211
\nN\/A
\nMoss is a physical running back with excellent vision and enough burst to create chunk yardage gains out of the backfield. His lack of top end speed and elusiveness in the open field, relatively lack of receiving ability, and injury history will have him a little lower on NFL draft boards. Still, he\u2019s a solid RB2 or RB3 for teams looking for a downhill, gap scheme runner.<\/p>\n

149. Hezekiah Masses, DB California<\/a>
\n6005
179
\n4.46
\nMasses, despite being undersized with short arms, is a physical player who can mirror routes in man coverage and is an in-breaking route eraser. He can get grabby at the top of routes and he\u2019s high-hipped, which limits how quickly he can flip his hips against out-breaking routes. His plus ball skills and production that will help him find a role in an NFL secondary room.<\/p>\n

150. Jimmy Rolder, LB Michigan<\/a>
\n6024
238
\nN\/A
\nRolder has an old-school game as a downhill thumper who is a quick processor with good instincts and a reliable tackler in space. He\u2019s also a violent blitzer, but his lack of length and sideline to sideline speed likely limits him to a depth linebacker role.<\/p>\n

151. Cyrus Allen, WR Cincinnati<\/a>
\n5113
183
\nN\/A
\nAllen is a twitchy route runner with the speed to threaten vertically and reliable hands to catch the ball outside of his frame, despite being undersized. He\u2019s likely a slot-only player and he doesn\u2019t add much in contested catch situations or as a blocker, but he has WR3 upside.<\/p>\n

152. Eric Gentry, LB USC<\/a>
\n6070
221
\nN\/A
\nGentry is a unique player with playmaking ability despite having an unusual linebacker frame. He also has a pass rushing in his background from earlier in his career. Lack of consistent play strength and not always driving through tackles allows players to bounce off of him, but the length, coverage ability, and uniqueness make him a player worth drafting and developing into a middle of the field coverage roamer.<\/p>\n

153. Ephesians Prysock, DB Washington<\/a>
\n6033
196
\n4.45
\nPrysock is a long, physical corner who can turn and run on vertical routes and has nice route recognition ability in off coverage alignments. He toes the line of physicality too much at times, getting grabby, and his lack of ball production and inconsistently tackling are areas he needs to improve to become a starter-level player.<\/p>\n

154. Will Kacmarek, TE Ohio State<\/a>
\n6054
261
\n4.74
\nKacmarek is reliable but doesn\u2019t offer much as a receiver. Still, he\u2019s a physical, traditional tight end who can handle run and pass blocking duties. His lack of speed will relegate him to a mainly blocking role, but he\u2019s one of the best blocking tight ends in this draft class and will find a Day 1 role in the NFL.<\/p>\n

155. Dametrious Crownover, OT Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6072
319
\n5.14
\nCrownover is a big, athletic lineman with length and athleticism as a former tight end turned offensive tackle. His arm placement, pass protection approach, and drive blocking ability are all a work in progress. He flashed some development at the Senior Bowl and projects as a depth player who could eventually become a swing tackle in the NFL.<\/p>\n

156. Taylen Green, QB Arkansas<\/a>
\n6057
227
\n4.36
\nGreen, who has an outstanding athletic profile, is at his best making throws between the numbers on intermediate routes such as curl, in-breaking, and seam routes. Because he\u2019s an elite athlete, he extends plays with his legs and makes throws on the run to create scrambling opportunities. The ball placement, accuracy, and mechanics all need work, and he does not yet strike a consistent balance of making something happen outside the pocket versus living to fight for another play.<\/p>\n

157. Jeff Caldwell, WR Cincinnati<\/a>
\n6046
216
\n4.31
\nCaldwell is a deep vertical threat with natural speed to threaten defensive backs and a catch radius that is hard to defend in one-on-one citations. He struggles to sink his hips at the top of routes and struggled with drops in his line season at Cincinnati. His height, weight, and speed combo is worth a Day 3 flier.<\/p>\n

158. J.C. Davis, OT Illinois<\/a>
\n6043
322
\n5.16
\nDavis is a physical offensive lineman who generates displacement with his run blocking and works well in tandem on double team blocks. As a pass protector, he\u2019s heavy handed, and gets caught leaning into blocks, has wide hands that can get swiped off. He has developmental tools at tackle, but his run blocking demeanor may be best served as guard.<\/p>\n

159. Demond Claiborne, RB Wake Forest<\/a>
\n5096
188
\n4.37
\nClaiborne, a three-year starter at Wake Forest, is a two-down running back who has kick return ability and the speed to create explosive plays out of the backfield. He has a smaller frame and his game is not predicated on being a short-yardage or power back, but his lateral agility, second gear in the open field, and receiving ability make him an intriguing Day 3 player.<\/p>\n

160. VJ Payne, S Kansas State<\/a>
\n6030
208
\n4.4
\nPayne is a downhill, physical safety who has an enforcer skill set and has the length and size to cover bigger receivers and tight end downfield. He needs to clean up his pursuit angles and does not always find the ball in downfield coverage, but he projects as a depth safety who has the size and physicality to potentially become a linebacker.<\/p>\n

161. Max Llewellyn, EDGE Iowa
\n6055
258
\n4.81
\nLlewellyn is a spin move artist who has the quickness to turn the corner and win on an inside track as a pass rusher and run defender. He struggles to stack and shed, set a firm edge, and lacks bend, but he\u2019s got a pass rush skill set that can earn him rotational snaps on third down.<\/p>\n

162. Albert Regis, DT Texas A&M<\/a>
\n6013
295
\n4.88
\nRegis is a squatty defensive tackle who is a stout run stopper, has powerful hands, and can take on double teams despite being a bit undersized. He does not offer much as a pass rusher, which limits his ability to be an every-down player, but he projects as a potential DT4 or DT5 in an NFL room thanks to his run stopping ability.<\/p>\n

163. TJ Hall, DB Iowa<\/a>
\n6006
189
\n4.59
\nHall is an extremely physical corner who consistently challenges wide receivers at the catch point and doesn\u2019t mind sticking his nose in as a run defender. He has patience and trust in his technique, even when he\u2019s trailing, but his long speed clouds his ability to start at the NFL level. He\u2019s likely a DB4 or DB5 in a secondary room.<\/p>\n

164. Max Bredeson, FB\/TE Michigan<\/a>
\n6020
252
\nN\/A
\nBredeson is undersized to be an in-line tight end but showed the ability to handle fullback and is an excellent lead blocker. He projects as a utility guy that can be a pass blocker and checkdown option. He doesn\u2019t have special qualities but was a glue guy and leader at Michigan.<\/p>\n

165. Tacrio Davis, DB Washington<\/a>
\n6037
194
\n4.41
\nDavis is a tall, high-hipped corner who is physical in press man coverage, has the length to disrupt passes at the catch point, and is a reliable tackler in space. He got grabby at times in coverage and struggles to consistently mirror underneath routes, but he\u2019s got a skill set worth developing into a potential starter.<\/p>\n

166. Kage Casey, OT Boise State<\/a>
\n6060
310
\n5.20
\nCasey is a technically sound offensive linemen who doesn\u2019t have any overwhelming traits but consistently climbs to the second level, grip strength to anchor against power, and plays under control. He may have to move to guard with his lack of length and his inability to mitigate speed rushers.<\/p>\n

167. Sawyer Robertson, QB Baylor<\/a>
\n6036
216
\n 4.64
\nRobertson showcases NFL-level touch on vertical passes, has a compact throwing motion that allows him to attack all areas of the field, and has enough functional mobility to make plays happen outside of the pocket. He\u2019s inconsistent in his accuracy on throws outside of the numbers, needs to improve his anticipation on timing throws, and does not always handle pressure well, but shows ideal traits as a Day 3 quarterback.<\/p>\n

168. Mason Reiger, EDGE Wisconsin<\/a>
\n6045
251

\nReiger has a lengthy injury history but he\u2019s a high effort pass rusher who can turn the corner as a pass rusher and knife into the backfield as a run defender. He does not consistently stack and shed blocks and doesn\u2019t have much of a pass rush tool bag, but he can earn rotational snaps early in his career.<\/p>\n

169. Diego Pounds OT, Ole Miss<\/a>
\n6060
325
\n5.15
\nPounds is a massive tackle who is physical and utilizes his length to keep pass rushers at bay and the strength to generate displacement in the run game. He moves well for his size, but defenders can get into his chest. His high pad level causes him to struggle against speed. He projects as a depth tackle in the NFL.<\/p>\n

170. DeMonte Capehart, DT Clemson<\/a>
\n6050
315
\n4,85
\nCapehart uses his nearly 34-inch arms to control reps against interior offensive linemen, has powerful leg drive, and functional lateral agility to make plays down the line of scrimmage. He does not offer much in the pass rushing department, mainly using bull rushes that only push the interior pocket, but Capehart is a nice Day 3 option who can rotate in on run downs.<\/p>\n

171. Haynes King, QB Georgia Tech
\n6023
212
\n4.46
\nKing has probably already reached his perceived ceiling as a backup-level quarterback, but he shows NFL-level pocket poise and can deliver accurate throws on crossing routes and in-breaking routes. He has decent arm strength but doesn\u2019t throw receivers open often, struggles throwing under pressure, and doesn\u2019t consistently hit throws outside the numbers. His running ability, though, stands out as a strength and he can keep the defense honest. He will be at best a QB3 in the NFL and could be a low-end backup.<\/p>\n

172. Rayshaun Benny, DT Michigan<\/a>
\n6032
298
\nN\/A
\nBenny plays with adequate leverage, length and power to be a disruptive run stopper, but has limited pass rush ability that will make him a two-down player at the NFL level. His lack of lateral agility limits his pass rushing ability.<\/p>\n

173. Kendrick Law, WR Kentucky<\/a>
\n5113
203
\n4.45
\nLaw is a gadget player who has the top end speed to erase angles and natural separation ability, despite running a fairly limited route tree in college. He will find a role in the NFL with his explosiveness and willingness to block in the run game.<\/p>\n

174. Parker Brailsford, C Alabama<\/a>
\n6017
289
\n4.95
\nBrailsford is likely an outside zone scheme only player who has twitchy traits to beat defensive linemen to spots and anchor down against bigger defensive linemen. His small stature will make him a scheme dependent player who needs to play next to bigger guards.<\/p>\n

175. Malik Benson, WR Oregon
\n6001
189
\n4.37
\nBenson is a reliable vertical threat who tracks the ball well downfield, has the speed to create after the catch, and has return ability in his background. His route running needs to improve as well as his releases against press man coverage. He projects as a depth wide receiver who can stretch the field vertically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prospect Size 40 Synopsis 1.
