ROUND 7<\/p>\n

No. 246 overall: S Miles Scott<\/a>, Illinois<\/p>\n

The Athletic prospect overview<\/a>: “Scott is a good-sized athlete for the position, with the tracking and ball skills of a former wideout. A two-time captain, he wore the green dot for the Illini, and his experience as a route runner helps him sort, key and drive on throws in coverage.” – Dane Brugler<\/p>\n

No. 256 overall: TE Dallen Bentley<\/a>, Utah<\/p>\n

NFL.com prospect overview<\/a>: “With just three catches over his first two seasons at Utah, Bentley’s 48 grabs in 2025 came as a surprise. He has the build of an in-line tight end but mostly uses his size to occupy defenders instead of digging into blocks. A heavy portion of his catches came against zone, so he will need to refine his route running and contested-catch technique to prove he can win on his own. Bentley’s NFL future could depend on his ability to play with more tenacity and technique as a run blocker since his catch production from 2025 might not translate.” – Lance Zierlein<\/p>\n

No. 257 overall: LB Red Murdock<\/a>, Buffalo<\/p>\n

NFL.com prospect overview<\/a>: “Inside linebacker with a nose for the football and loads of production to prove it. Murdock plays firm at the contact point with physicality and toughness. He’s ready for battle when the ball comes downhill, but he lacks the closing burst to stay ahead of blocking schemes and shut down the outside run before it turns the corner. He’s a consistent tackler with good stopping power when he’s in position. His coverage features too many mistakes and a lack of recovery talent. Murdock lacks speed and third-down value, but he’s tough, makes plays and appears suited for core special-teams duties.” – Lance Zierlein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ROUND 7 No. 246 overall: S Miles Scott, Illinois The Athletic prospect overview: “Scott is a good-sized athlete…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[226479,8305,262196,68065,5048,255481,349,175252,263725,99,452,206433],"class_list":{"0":"post-606767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-dallen-bentley","9":"tag-draft","10":"tag-draft-2026","11":"tag-jonah-coleman","12":"tag-justin-joly","13":"tag-kage-casey","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-red-murdock","16":"tag-scott-miles","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-top-stories","19":"tag-tyler-onyedim"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
