Another NFL season is officially in the books.

The Seahawks dominated the Patriots in Super Bowl LX to win their second title, Bad Bunny’s halftime show has me planning a trip to Puerto Rico and the commercials were mostly terrible.

Let’s hope AI companies produce AI good enough to improve their ads in the future.

With the Super Bowl in our rearview, we now turn our attention towards Indianapolis, where the NFL Scouting Combine will take place in less than two weeks.

As Anakin Skywalker said in Revenge of the Sith: “This is where the fun begins.”

This mock is updated with each team’s current needs. Once the NFL awards compensatory picks, I’ll expand this exercise to three rounds.

Here are some key dates going forward before we get to the draft in Pittsburgh (April 23-25):

Feb. 17-March 3: Franchise/transition player designation period

Feb. 23-March 2: NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis

Early March: Colleges can begin hosting pro days

March 11: New league year begins at 1 p.m. (i.e. free agency)

MOCK PREAMBLE

This is an attempt at figuring out the best players available in this season’s draft class, and which teams they’d match up well with considering the current draft order courtesy of NFL.com. The closer we get to draft day, the more I’ll attempt to match what teams will actually do with their draft picks as opposed to what I believe they should do.

According to The Huddle Report, I was the second-most accurate NFL draft prognosticator in print last season. I tied for first overall (out of 172) covering a five-year period between 2019 and 2023.

Considering the NFL doesn’t have an offseason, the draft has become the Super Bowl of the league’s second season, and a mock version of said draft is meant to educate, perhaps even entertain. At very least, it helps you pass the time.

Follow me on X (formerly known as Twitter) @UTEddieBrown so we can continue the conversation.

Here’s an updated version of my 2026 NFL Mock Draft, now through two rounds:

FIRST ROUND

1. Las Vegas (3-14) — Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana, Jr.

This feels like a lock at this point barring another team making a “Godfather” offer for the pick. Mendoza has the prototypical size (6-foot-5, 225 pounds) scouts favor, good arm talent and functional athleticism. He’s not a finished product by any means — pressure can affect his footwork and his deep ball accuracy needs refinement — but the Heisman Trophy-winner clearly has the clutch gene, and there’s a chance he’s the only quarterback selected in the first round. New Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak’s offensive philosophy pairs nicely with Mendoza’s skillset. Top needs: QB, Edge, WR

2. N.Y. Jets (3-14) — Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio St., Jr.

Perhaps GM Darren Mougey packages this selection and the No. 16 overall pick in a swap with the Raiders for Mendoza. Otherwise, the Jets need to replenish their defense after trading their two best defenders away at the deadline. The 6-foot-4, 243-pound uber-athletic Reese primarily played off-ball linebacker for the Buckeyes, but I could easily see him as a full-time edge rusher in the pros. Only a decimated 49ers’ pass rush produced fewer sacks than the Jets last season. Top needs: QB, CB, WR

3. Arizona (3-14) — Francis Mauigoa, T, Miami, Jr.

The Cardinals will be in the market for a QB if they decide to move on from Kyler Murray, but they’re not finding his replacement with the third-overall pick. There isn’t a Joe Alt or Penei Sewell in this draft class, but Mauigoa, a former five-star recruit, is big (6-6, 315), powerful, athletic and plays with a mauling mentality at the tackle position. There are scouts who believe he’d be even better on the interior, but he’s talented enough to stay at tackle. It’s currently a coin flip between Mauigoa and Utah’s Spencer Fano for who will be the first offensive lineman selected. Top needs: QB, OL, DL

4. Tennessee (3-14) — Rueben Bain Jr., Edge, Miami, Jr.

Traditionally after drafting a franchise QB with the first overall pick in the previous draft, an organization will utilize the next draft to stockpile offensive talent in support of their investment. If the Titans don’t believe there are any offensive lineman or wide receivers worthy of a top-4 pick in this draft class, then new head coach Robert Saleh will likely prefer they focus on their pass rush here. The 6-foot-3, 275-pound Bain doesn’t have prototypical length, but the ACC Defensive Player of the Year was a dominant force in four playoff games against Texas A&M, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Indiana. He had five sacks in those four games and 6½ sacks in his last five. Top needs: Edge, WR, OL

5. N.Y. Giants (4-13) — Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio St., Jr.

The Titans and Giants are in the same boat. Both have talented quarterbacks headed into their second season in need of support. GM Joe Schoen will need to reinforce Jaxson Dart’s protection, weaponry, and perhaps teach him how to slide to maximize his potential. Considering John Harbaugh’s history with the Ravens, I’m thinking he’d prefer to address the O-line or even a dynamic defender like Caleb Downs, but pairing Tate with a healthy Malik Nabers might prove too tantalizing. The playmaker showed immense growth in his technical skills last season, especially his route running, which transformed him from an explosive deep threat to a more complete receiver who can threaten a defense at all three levels. Top needs: WR, DL, G

6. Cleveland (5-12) — Spencer Fano, T, Utah, Jr.

Could GM Andrew Berry go all-in and trade multiple first-round picks to the Raiders for the No. 1 overall selection to draft Mendoza? Anything is possible, as Kevin Garnett once screamed. The deal would likely need to look similar to what the 49ers gave the Dolphins for the No. 3 overall pick in 2021 in order to move up and draft Trey Lance. Which means it would likely include this pick with multiple future first-rounders. Otherwise, this choice will almost certainly come down to an offensive lineman or wide receiver. Fano is a big (6-6, 302), powerful, athletic anchor in the run game, and his footwork improved in pass protection his junior season. Top needs: QB, OL, WR

7. Washington (5-12) — David Bailey, Edge, Texas Tech, Sr.

The Commanders’ biggest problem this season was keeping Jayden Daniels healthy. Their second biggest problem was an ineffective defense. They need more playmakers at all three levels. Considering they only have two picks in the first four rounds thanks to the Laremy Tunsil trade with the Texans, GM Adam Peters will likely be busy on draft night. If Peters can’t find a suitable deal, this pick likely comes down to the best available pass rusher or Caleb Downs. Bailey tied for first in the FBS with 14½ sacks, and was second with 19½ tackles for loss. He has rare speed for someone who is 6-3, 250, having hit 22.16 mph — he was No. 43 on Bruce Feldman’s 2025 “Freaks List.” Top needs: Edge, DB, WR

8. New Orleans (6-11) — Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona St., Jr.

I’m thinking GM Mickey Loomis is fine with Tyler Shough being the starter next season after drafting him with the 40th overall pick in last April’s draft. If that’s the case, Loomis needs to surround Shough with more weapons on offense. Tyson was hampered by a hamstring injury this season, but he pretty much picked up where he left off last year when he was on the field. He’s developed into a route-technician with inside-out versatility and has the ability to make plays at all three levels. Tyson will need to overcome an injury-prone label during the draft process in order to be drafted this high. Top needs: WR, G, DL

9. Kansas City (6-11) — Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame, Jr.

The Chiefs’ dynasty may be over, but the championship window will remain wide open as long as Patrick Mahomes is upright and healthy. Mahomes may not be ready by the start of next season after suffering a torn ACL and LCL in his left leg, but once he is, he’s going to need an effective run game to alleviate some pressure. Eric Bieniemy returning as offensive coordinator, a role he held from 2018 to 2022 with Kansas City, alludes to that being a priority this offseason. Love features elite size (6-0, 214), patience and balance on top of home run capability. The Doak Walker Award-winner and Heisman Trophy finalist is explosive, elusive, powerful and versatile. Top needs: DL, RB, T

10. Cincinnati (6-11) — Caleb Downs, S, Ohio St., Jr.

Outside of cornerback DJ Turner, and two talented rookie linebackers, Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter, who survived their growing pains this season, what part of the Bengals’ defense doesn’t need to be completely overhauled? Downs won the Thorpe Award, the Lott IMPACT Trophy and earned consensus All-American honors this season. He was the heart and soul of a Buckeyes defense that led the nation in points (9.3) and yards allowed (219.1) per game, and he finished ninth in the Heisman voting. Downs is a fluid, explosive athlete who’s seemingly always a step ahead of everybody else on the football field. He’s one of the two or three best players in this draft, and worthy of being the first safety to be drafted in the top 10 since Jamal Adams in 2017 (Adams went No. 6 overall to the Jets). Top needs: Edge, DB, G

11. Miami (7-10) — Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU, Sr.

Cornerback may be the biggest position of need for the Dolphins depending on how new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley feel about Tua Tagovailoa as their QB going forward. Delane doesn’t have elite size (5-11, 191) or deep speed, but he’s sticky, instinctual and can play multiple positions in the secondary. Top needs: CB, WR, G

12. Dallas (7-9-1) — Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio St., Sr.

Let’s assume the Joneses handle their business and resign wide receiver George Pickens and running back Javonte Williams to long-term extensions. Then the draft will be all about improving the defense. Styles is the second freakishly athletic linebacker from the Buckeyes to appear in this mock — he was No. 10 on Bruce Feldman’s list. He’s rangy with rare speed and explosiveness for his frame (6-5, 243), and showcases his safety background in coverage with the ability to lock down tight ends and running backs in space. Top needs: LB, DB, Edge

13. L.A. Rams from Atlanta (8-9) — Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee, Jr.

GM Les Snead acquired this pick by trading out of the first round last April. Snead has to plan for a future without last season’s MVP Matthew Stafford at some point. Otherwise, cornerbacks Ahkello Witherspoon, Roger McCreary and Cobie Durant are all unrestricted free agents. McCoy earned first-team All-SEC recognition in 2024 with four interceptions for the Vols after transferring from Oregon State before tearing his ACL during an offseason training session last January. His tape showed elite ball skills with fluid athleticism and explosive closing speed. The type of talent who usually goes in the top half of the first round. NFL teams will scrutinize his medicals at the Combine. Top needs: DB, OL, QB

14. Baltimore (8-9) — Keldric Faulk, Edge, Auburn, Jr.

The mandate for the Ravens will be clear this offseason: fix the defense. Hiring former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter certainly seems to suggest as much. Faulk is a 6-foot-6, 285-pound versatile chess piece on the D-line in odd or even fronts, and has even shown the ability to standup and play outside linebacker. I’m anticipating his lack of production will be scrutinized throughout the draft process. Top needs: Edge, WR, C

15. Tampa Bay (8-9) — Cashius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M, Sr.

It’s been a minute since the Buccaneers had an elite pass rush from their edge defenders, and signing Haason Reddick to a one-year deal last season didn’t fix the problem. Reddick only produced 2½ sacks and is once again facing free agency. Howell’s (6-2, 248) length is a question mark, but you can’t argue with his production or explosive traits. He produced 9½ sacks and 10½ tackles for loss in his final season at Bowling Green before joining the Aggies in 2024. After making the leap from the MAC to the SEC, he earned the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year with 11½ sacks last season (tied for seventh in the FBS) and 14 tackles for loss. Top needs: Edge, LB, G

16. N.Y. Jets from Indianapolis (8-9) — Makai Lemon, WR, USC, Jr.

Pairing Lemon with Garrett Wilson would set the Jets’ next franchise QB up for success, whomever he may be. Lemon (5-11, 195) is a quick, efficient route runner who is a demon in the slot and capable of frustrating tacklers with his abilities after the catch. Top needs: QB, CB, WR

17. Detroit (9-8) — Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio St., Jr.

The Lions ranked 13th overall in stopping the run last season, but struggled mightily down the stretch. If D.J. Reader leaves in free agency, there will be a huge hole to fill on the interior defensive line. McDonald was a game-wrecker for one of the best defenses in the country, earning consensus All-American honors. Anchored by the 6-3, 330-pound devourer of double-teams, Ohio State’s run defense was seventh in rushing yards allowed per game (89.36) and tied for seventh in yards allowed per carry (2.94). Top needs: Edge, CB, C

18. Minnesota (9-8) — Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson, Jr.

The Vikings only have one cornerback under contract beyond 2026 (Byron Murphy). Terrell is a much better run defender than his brother A.J. — former first-round pick of the Falcons — despite being a bit undersized (5-11, 180). His route-recognition and ball skills helped him earn second-team All-ACC honors as a sophomore, and he’s mastered the “Peanut Punch” with eight forced fumbles the last two seasons. He also had three sacks last year. Top needs: DB, DL, OL

19. Carolina (8-9) — Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama, Jr.

Former top-10 pick Ikem Ekwonu is entering the final year of his rookie contract after suffering a ruptured patellar tendon in the Panthers’ playoff loss. Ekwonu will be out 6-12 months, which means GM Dan Morgan needs to find a stopgap (at very least), and potentially a long-term replacement if they can’t reach an agreement on a contract extension. Proctor has the potential to be both. He could fill-in at left tackle until Ekwonu is healthy enough to return, and then slide inside. Carolina has a potential out of right guard Robert Hunt’s 5-year, $100 million deal after next season. Or he could be Ekwonu’s replacement. Proctor’s junior season was a grab bag of inconsistency, but it’s nearly impossible to find 360-pound athletes who are as powerful, explosive and surprisingly agile as he is (he was No. 2 on Bruce Feldman’s list). Top needs: Edge, LB, WR

20. Dallas from Green Bay (9-7-1) — Akheem Mesidor, Edge, Miami, Sr.

The Cowboys traded for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson at the deadline. Both were solid additions and key to rebuilding this defense, but there’s still work to do. Mesidor had 9½ sacks in two years at West Virginia before joining the Hurricanes in 2022. He’s an older prospect (he turns 25 in April), but he’s been highly productive for two different programs, including 12½ sacks and 17½ tackles for loss last season. Mesidor’s size (6-3, 280), explosiveness and violent hands will make him a valuable chess piece for defensive coordinators in the pros. Top needs: LB, DB, Edge

21. Pittsburgh (10-7) — KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M, Jr.

Mike McCarthy becoming the Steelers’ fourth head coach since 1969 may mean Aaron Rodgers postpones retirement for one more season. Regardless of who is under center or coaching, Pittsburgh is severely lacking in playmakers at receiver. Concepcion was named the winner of the 2025 Paul Hornung Award. The award honors the most versatile player in the country. The NC State transfer finished the season with 12 total touchdowns, and became the first A&M player in the modern era to score via reception, rush and punt return in the same year. Top needs: QB, WR, G

22. L.A. Chargers (11-6) — Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn St., Jr.

Left guard Zion Johnson is a free agent, while injuries and inconsistency plagued right guard Mekhi Becton once again. Ioane was one of the few bright spots for the Nittany Lions last season, earning second-team AP All-American recognition. He’s an elite pass-blocker and a strong anchor in the run game, while featuring impressive movement skills for a man his size (6-4, 330). Top needs: OL, DL, Edge

23. Philadelphia (11-6) — Monroe Freeling, T, Georgia, Jr.

Five-time All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson is under contract through the 2027 season, but he’s 35 years old and missed eight games last season while battling neck and back issues before suffering a Lisfranc injury in Week 11. The Eagles were 3-5 without Johnson, including a 23-19 season-ending loss in the wild-card round to the 49ers. GM Howie Roseman has proven mighty fond of former Bulldogs, and Freeling features rare lateral movement skills for a tackle his size (6-7, 315). He needs polish, but the former four-star recruit developed into one of the better pass protectors in the SEC last season. Top needs: T, TE, CB

24. Cleveland from Jacksonville (13-4) — Denzel Boston, WR, Washington, Jr.

The Browns look like they found building blocks on offense in last year’s draft with running back Quinshon Judkins (before he suffered a broken leg) and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. They’ll need to reinforce an aging offensive line and add more weapons at receiver if they have any hopes of their new franchise QB succeeding, whomever he may be. Boston’s size (6-4, 210) and physicality enable him to win more than his fair share of jump balls, but the Huskie wideout is also a polished route-runner, especially on slants and comebacks. Boston also features the versatility to lineup outside or become a mismatch in the slot. Top needs: QB, OL, WR

25. Chicago (11-6) — Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo, Sr.

Almost every safety on the Bears’ current roster is facing free agency, including starting strong safety Jaquan Brisker. McNeil-Warren is an explosive, rangy defender with sound tackling technique, and a violent finisher. He features exceptional length and size (6-2, 202) for the safety position, and has an undeniable nose for the football. He has five interceptions and nine forced fumbles in four years with the Rockets. Top needs: DL, Edge, SS

26. Buffalo (12-5) — TJ Parker, Edge, Clemson, Jr.

Wide receiver is an obvious need (as it was last year), and considering how far Bills owner Terry Pegula threw second-year receiver Keon Coleman under the bus, I’d expect it to be addressed one way or the other. Buffalo’s pass rush will also need to be replenished with Joey Bosa and A.J. Epenesa potentially leaving in free agency. Parker’s bull rush is devastating and he’s already a solid run defender. While last season didn’t live up to an eye-popping sophomore year where he had 11 sacks and six forced fumbles, his size (6-3, 265), advanced pass-rush repertoire, and ability to convert speed to power places him firmly in the first-round discussion. Top needs: WR, Edge, LB

27. San Francisco (12-5) — Peter Woods, DT, Clemson, Jr.

The 49ers will release or trade Brandon Aiyuk this offseason, which means this pick could very well be a wide receiver come April.  However, a depleted defense is the reason San Francisco couldn’t compete with the champion Seahawks down the stretch. Woods needs a more diversified pass-rush plan to unlock his full potential, but he already possesses an elite combination of strength and athleticism for his size (6-3, 315), and has flashed disruptive capabilities. Violent hands and elite diagnostic instincts are his weapons of choice. Top needs: WR, DL, OL

28. Houston (12-5) — Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon, Jr.

Strong safety is one of the few question marks on an otherwise elite defense for the Texans. Thieneman picked up in his first season with the Ducks where he left off after two great years with the Purdue Boilermakers. He’s a dynamic run defender who also features the athleticism, range and instincts to lineup in two-high, single-high or at nickelback. Top needs: RB, DL, G

29. L.A. Rams (12-5) — Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama, Jr.

Simpson is the son of a longtime college coach, and he’d be perfect for any team running a variation of Kyle Shanahan’s or Sean McVay’s offense. He only has 15 collegiate starts to go off of, but the small sample size shows he has the ability to process defenses quickly, and is accurate under pressure. However, the list of QBs taken in the first round with fewer than 20 collegiate starts in the past decade is uninspiring to say the least: Trey Lance (17), Mac Jones (17), Kyler Murray (17), Dwayne Haskins (14), Anthony Richardson (13) and Mitchell Trubisky (13). Top needs: DB, OL, QB

30. Denver (14-3) — Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon, Jr.

Evan Engram is a potential cut candidate, and the rest of the Broncos’ tight ends are all set for some form of free agency. Sadiq is talented enough to operate as a “joker” in Sean Payton’s offense. He isn’t in the same class as Brock Bowers or Tyler Warren as a prospect, but he’s an impressive athlete who has showcased downfield playmaking ability and has legit upside as a run-blocker in the pros. Top needs: DL, LB, TE

31. New England (14-3) — Caleb Lomu, T, Utah, So.

This pick is more about Morgan Moses turning 35 in March than Will Campbell getting manhandled by pretty much anyone in a Seahawks uniform. Lomu earned Freshman All-American honors in 2024, and possesses this draft classes’ highest ceiling at offensive tackle. He’s already a technically proficient pass blocker with prototypical size (6-6, 305), elite athleticism and solid footwork. He’ll need to add strength to improve as a run blocker, and hold his own against powerful pass rushers in the pros. Top needs: Edge, C, FS

32. Seattle (14-3) — Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee, So.

Cornerbacks Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen are both free agents. After transferring from Colorado, Hood helped the Volunteers fill the void created by the absence of Jermod McCoy. He’s a fiery, aggressive press corner who features the size (6-0, 195), speed and physicality to make plays in a man-heavy scheme. However, his instincts make him an ideal fit for the type of zone defense the champs deploy under coach Mike Macdonald. Top needs: CB, G, Edge

SECOND ROUND

33. N.Y. Jets — Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina, Jr.

34. Arizona — Caleb Banks, DL, Florida, Sr.

35. Tennessee — Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame, Sr.

36. Las Vegas — Zion Young, Edge, Missouri, Sr.

37. N.Y. Giants — Christen Miller, DL, Georgia, Jr.

38. Houston from Washington — Lee Hunter, DL, Texas Tech, Sr.

39. Cleveland — Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego St., Sr.

40. Kansas City — Max Iheanachor, T, Arizona St., Sr.

41. Cincinnati — Derrick Moore, Edge, Michigan, Sr.

42. New Orleans — Chase Bisontis, OL, Texas A&M, Jr.

43. Miami — Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana, Jr.

44. N.Y. Jets from Dallas — CJ Allen, LB, Georgia, Jr.

45. Baltimore — Chris Bell, WR, Louisville, Sr.

46. Tampa Bay — Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas, Jr.

47. Indianapolis — Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati, Sr.

Germaine Pratt’s impending free agency and Zaire Franklin’s significant regression could make linebacker a pressing need this offseason for the Colts. Golday, a former unranked recruit who began as an edge defender at FCS program Central Arkansas, has three-down potential in the NFL because of his size (6-4, 240), physicality and elite athleticism. Top needs: QB, SS, LB

48. Atlanta — Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia, Jr.

Newly crowned Falcons’ President of Football Matt Ryan hired Kevin Stefanski to replace Raheem Morris as head coach. Ryan also hired former Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham as GM. The priority this offseason will be to fortify the roster around core talent like Bijan Robinson, Drake London and A.J. Terrell. Adding a dynamic threat like Branch to complement London could elevate the entire offense. Top needs: WR, DL, CB

49. Minnesota — Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson, Jr.

50. Detroit — D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana, Jr.

51. Carolina — R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma, Sr.

52. Green Bay — Domonique Orange, DL, Iowa St., Sr.

While the return of Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt should help an inconsistent run defense next season, there’s still a major need for a massive, run-stuffing nose tackle in the trenches. The “Big Citrus” requires two or even three offensive lineman to contain him in the run game. The 6-foot-4, 325-pound Orange is a reliable run-stuffer with elite strength, and would be an intimidating presence in the middle of any defense. If he can develop as a pass-rusher, that’s just icing on an impossibly large cake. Top needs: DL, CB, LB

53. Pittsburgh — AJ Haulcy, S, LSU, Sr.

54. Philadelphia — Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt, Sr.

55. L.A. Chargers — LT Overton, Edge, Alabama, Sr.

Both Khalil Mack, and Odafe Oweh are free agents, with Mack potentially starting his Hall of Fame clock if he’s had enough of the grind. Overton is a former five-star recruit who spent two years with Texas A&M before transferring to Tuscaloosa in 2024. He’s one of the more versatile defensive lineman in this class, with enough size (6-5, 278) and strength to handle his own on the interior for a team who utilizes hybrid fronts at the next level. Overton already excels as a run-stopper, and can be disruptive as a pass-rusher, but his approach needs polish. Top needs: OL, DL, Edge

56. Jacksonville — Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona St., Jr.

Both of the Jaguars’ starting cornerbacks are free agents — Greg Newsome and Montaric Brown. Abney is a former high school wide receiver with elite ball skills. There’s size limitations (6-0, 190) against large “X” receivers, but he’s an excellent processor in zone and sticky in man. Abney has proven capable of playing outside or in the slot. Top needs: CB, FS, G

57. Chicago — Darrell Jackson Jr., DL, Florida St., Sr.

58. San Francisco — Blake Miller, T, Clemson, Sr.

59. Houston — Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington, Sr.

60. Buffalo — Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia St., Sr.

61. L.A. Rams — Keionte Scott, S, Miami, Sr.

Rams strong safety Kamren Curl is an unrestricted free agent. Scott was a two-time junior college All-American at Snow College in Utah before transferring to Auburn in 2022. The Helix High School alum joined the Hurricanes last season and earned second-team All-ACC recognition with 61 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions (both returned for a TD). He’s a versatile, physical and smart defensive back with good size (6-0, 192). Top needs: DB, OL, QB

62. Denver — Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame, Jr.

63. New England — Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn St., Sr.

64. Seattle — Gabe Jacas, Edge, Illinois, Sr.
