The Bills gave up a third and a sixth to move up for the pick. Igbinosun (6’2/189) is a long, press-oriented boundary defender with 32-inch arms, built to disrupt timing and squeeze receivers along the sideline. Across 1,532 career coverage snaps, he allowed 115 receptions on 217 targets for 1,187 yards, trimming that efficiency to a 47.8 completion percentage and 9.4 yards per catch in 2025. His physicality shows up at the line and catch point, but also in the box where he totaled 158 tackles with 44 run stops over four seasons. Igbinosun’s athletic profile is a clear strength, showing explosion (42-inch vertical and plus long-speed (4.45s forty) that supports his press-man projection. However, 30 career penalties and inconsistent footwork in transitions highlight his grabby tendencies and stiffness against route breaks, making him a scheme-dependent second corner whose ceiling hinges on improved discipline.
Slaughter (6’4/303) enters the 2026 cycle as one of the most decorated interior linemen in the class. He was a back-to-back All-American at UF who posted elite, well-balanced grading profiles, including an 84.1 overall PFF grade in 2025 with 80.2 run-blocking and 84.1 pass-blocking marks. Across 2,145 career pass-blocking snaps, Slaughter surrendered just four sacks, three hits, and 15 hurries, good for a sterling 98.8 pass-blocking efficiency that underscores his ability to control the pocket with timing, leverage, and processing. He wins with veteran savvy more than raw power, displaying excellent snap-to-set footwork, quick recognition versus simulated pressures, and the ability to stay connected through blocks despite lacking overwhelming mass. Slaughter’s 9.97 RAS highlights a high-end athletic profile for the position, pairing explosive lower-body traits (9.56 vertical, 9.14 broad = 91st percentile) with good linear speed (5.10 forty, 85th percentile) that translate to effective pull-and-climb ability in zone-heavy schemes. In the run game, he consistently walls off interior lanes and keeps defenders occupied with active feet and body positioning, though he can struggle to re-anchor against longer, more powerful nose tackles who win first contact. While his average play strength and occasional balance lapses in space cap his ceiling, Slaughter projects as a center whose intelligence, durability, and technical consistency give him a high floor early in his NFL career.
Clark (6’1/188) is a rangy, opportunistic free safety whose ball production keeps dragging your eyes back to the tape, posting 55 tackles, 13 havoc plays, 4 interceptions and seven PBUs in 11 games for TCU. He allowed 17 catches on 30 targets for 202 yards and three touchdowns, but his 23.3 percent forced incompletion rate and four interceptions illustrate the feast-or-famine profile of a defensive back who trusts his instincts and attacks windows aggressively. Clark’s best work comes playing top-down from depth, where he can read the quarterback, overlap routes and flash receiver-like hands at the catch point, even if his aggression can leave him vulnerable to play-action manipulation and double moves. In the middle of his profile sits an 8.89 RAS with 4.41s speed (97th-percentile) and 88th-percentile explosion numbers, giving him enough range to survive deep duties despite a lean frame that can show up in tackle strength and durability concerns. The production is gaudy, 15 interceptions over his last four seasons in addition to plus impact in the run game as a wrap-and-roll finisher when he arrives on time. Clark projects as a ball-hawking split-safety defender and sub-package playmaker whose instincts and takeaway ability can outweigh some volatility, especially for teams willing to live with the occasional gambling rep.
With the Rams taking Ty Simpson early in the first round for some reason, the Cardinals add Beck to their paltry QB room alongside Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. Beck (6’4”/233) and his Miami Hurricanes were the runners-up in this year’s national championship game. A sixth-year prospect who started his career as a backup at Georgia, Beck wound up starting two seasons (2023 and 2024) for the Bulldogs before transferring to Miami for his final season. Beck has the prototypical size of a pocket passer, but was a short-yardage merchant during his final season at Miami, averaging a 4.8 average depth of target on his completed passes with 64.8 percent of his throws traveling fewer than 10 air yards. There are also concerns about his throwing arm after he underwent UCL surgery in 2024. Beck’s conservative style limits bad plays, and he’s displayed a good knack for avoiding sacks when pressured. More of a game manager than a player who will air it out to win you games, Beck could thrive in the right system and one day get a chance to start. Brissett would be far better for Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. for fantasy purposes.
Onyedim (6’3/292) is a steady, assignment-sound interior defender whose profile is defined by balance rather than standout traits, pairing great explosion testing (32” vertical, 9’3” broad) with middling agility numbers and a brisk 1.69s 10-yard split (92nd percentile), which combined for a solid 8.31 RAS. He consistently excelled against the run, flashing disruptive ability in spurts while maintaining reliable gap integrity and run fits within Texas A&M’s front. He wins with hand usage and play strength, leveraging his frame to stack, peek and shed while showing enough first-step quickness to threaten interior shoulders and create occasional backfield penetration. While he doesn’t possess a true calling-card trait, Onyedim’s game is notably free of glaring weaknesses, making him a high-floor rotational piece who rarely busts assignments or loses contain. His pass-rush production lacks consistency due to average bend and change-of-direction ability, and he can stall out once initial momentum is absorbed by NFL-caliber linemen. Onyedim projects as a reliable rotational defensive tackle with spot-start upside, capable of providing early-down stability and complementary interior pressure in a deep NFL front.
Crawford (6’4/253) is a high-motor edge who generated 37 pressures on 217 pass-rush snaps while adding five sacks in a productive 2025 campaign. He pairs that pass-rush juice with 11 havoc plays, 8.5 tackles for loss and 45 total tackles while flashing a well-rounded disruption profile. Crawford’s blazing 2.37 time-to-first-pressure underscores his explosive get-off, allowing him to consistently stress tackles vertically and force early pocket movement. He wins with burst, effort and developing hand usage, flashing the ability to accelerate through contact and close quickly when he sees a path to the quarterback. However, his lack of ideal length and lower-body power shows up against bigger tackles, where he can get stalled at the top of his rush and struggle to disengage. He projects as a scheme-versatile rotational edge with sub-package upside early, offering immediate pass-rush value while continuing to refine his counters and anchor for a potential starting trajectory.
Bell is a towering outlier at 6’9/346 with 36 3/8” arms whose sheer mass and length create immediate problems for edge defenders, particularly when he locks out with his heavy hands. Bell logged a staggering 1,034 snaps in 2025 and delivered a major leap with a 83.5 pass block grade, surrendering just 15 pressures and zero sacks on 534 pass-blocking snaps, elite efficiency driven by his wingspan and upper-body power. He shed nearly 50 pounds since JUCO and rapidly improved his pass protection profile year-over-year, while showing the durability to anchor Miami’s blindside for a full season. However, Bell’s evaluation is shaped by leverage and movement concerns, as his height leads to naturally high pad level and inconsistent strike timing that can erode his base. His testing profile (5.36 40 = 39th percentile) reflects below-average foot speed and lateral agility, which shows up when mirroring speed rushers or handling counters in space. Bell projects as a developmental tackle with high-end pass protection upside in gap/power schemes, but one whose ceiling will ultimately hinge on improving leverage discipline and foot speed to handle NFL edge speed.
A true tight end’s tight end, Roush (6’6/267), does a little bit of everything without one elite trait. He peaked at 49 catches for 545 yards and two scores as a senior. Those two scores make up half of his collegiate touchdowns. The low scoring total could, in part, be explained by Roush’s struggles on contested targets, of which he secured just 47 percent. Roush isn’t a mauling blocker, but he handled his business in the trenches at Stanford and his massive frame will make the NFL transition a bit easier. His elite athletic measurable — highlighted by a 4.7 40 — will also make the leap to pro completion more manageable. Roush simply needs to play to his size more as a blocker and at the catch point. He will begin his career behind Cole Kmet and Coleston Loveland. Roush won’t be a threat to Loveland, but he could take on Kmet’s role as a blocker and TE2 in Chicago after 2026.
One of the older prospects in the 2025 draft pool, (4/13/2001) the well traveled Height (6’3/240) played for three different schools (Auburn, USC, Georgia Tech) before (6’3/240) delivering a breakout campaign in 2025. Across 598 snaps, he posted 48 tackles, 16 havoc plays, 12.5 TFL, 10 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, acting as Tech’s second major heat source opposite All-American Edge David Bailey. His pass-rush metrics were standout: on 294 rushes, Height generated 53 pressures for an 18% pressure rate, with 9 sacks created, a 2.50 sec time-to-first-pressure, and a high-leverage 20.0% third-down pressure rate. PFF validated the impact, issuing an elite 92.6 overall grade bolstered by a blue-chip 92.5 pass-rush grade and 93.1 coverage grade, signaling a modern outside linebacker who can both pressure and disrupt offensive game plans.
Williams, 21, stands 6’/187. He was a four-year starter at Clemson, primarily lining up in the slot, as a go-to receiver running quick-hitting routes. He also contributes as a seam stretcher. Williams earned first- and third-team All-ACC honors, respectively, over the last two seasons. He missed two games in 2025 due to a hamstring injury and posted a 55/604/4 receiving line. Williams also threw one touchdown pass and scored once as a rusher in each of the past two seasons. He could warrant FLEX consideration in PPR formats if he earns his team’s starting slot receiver role, but gaining access to two-wide receiver sets is critical for reliable fantasy productivity.
Davis (6’4/194) offers rare boundary dimensions with 33-plus inch arms and an 8.75 RAS, pairing long-strider speed (4.41s forty) with disruptive length. Across 218 coverage snaps, he allowed just 13 receptions on 29 targets (44 percent) for 128 yards with zero touchdowns, adding two INTs and four passes broken up while holding quarterbacks to a 47.2 rating. His 17.2 percent forced incompletion rate and 0.59 yards per coverage snap underscore his ability to shrink throwing windows and contest at the catch point. Davis added 16 tackles with a strong 94.1 percent tackle rate and seven havoc plays, flashing functional physicality despite inconsistent body control. He thrives in press and zone looks where his wingspan reroutes releases and caps verticals, but average transition quickness and grabby tendencies show up against multi-break route runners. Davis projects as a traits-driven boundary corner with starting upside in press-heavy schemes if his footwork and route-matching consistency continue to develop.
Spending all four of his college seasons at Georgia, Delp (6’5/245) has limited receiving production but possesses a good build and flashes physicality. A starter for three years, Delp never surpassed 300 yards receiving during his time with the Bulldogs. Serviceable with the ball in his hands, Delp averaged 7.9 yards after catch per reception, No. 17 among tight ends last season. As a blocker, he lacks length but has the physicality and agility to block in motion. Playing through a hairline fracture in his left foot for 2025, Delp had limited testing at the NFL Combine. Still, his toolset contains enough to make him “a prime candidate to be a better pro than he was a college player,” according to the Athletic’s Dane Brugler. An NFL team may take a chance on Delp to reach a ceiling he has yet to hit.
Fields (6’5/218) has elite size for an outside receiver and uses his size to outwork defenders in press coverage and win contested catches. He won’t blow past too many defenders, as evidenced by his 4.61 40-yard dash, but what Fields lacks in speed, he makes up for with acrobatic catches and good ball awareness to beat his defender. Fields totaled 800-plus yards and five touchdowns in his final two seasons at Virginia (2023-2024), and while his final season at Notre Dame (36-630-5) didn’t feature quite as much production, it’s worth pointing out that his routes run and targets both took major hits in Notre Dame’s run-heavy scheme. Fields’ size makes him a challenge for opposing defensive backs to bring down, which also helped him average 5.2 yards after the catch in his final two seasons. In addition to the physical traits Fields offers as a receiver, John Harbaugh will love his willingness to contribute in the running game, which could go a long way in earning him a meaningful role in a talent-depleted Giants receiver room.
It’s a multi-round reach for the Dolphins, who are desperate for receiver production after dealing Jaylen Waddle to Denver last month. Douglas had a meager 43rd percentile wideout dominator rating at Texas tech. Douglas (6’4”/206) spent the first two seasons of his career at Florida playing as a backup, but after transferring to Texas Tech in 2024, he found himself in a full-time starter role. Douglas has impressive speed for a player of his size, blazing a 4.39 40-yard dash at the combine, while earning a 9.50 RAS. Despite a good catch radius and a 79-inch wingspan, Douglas struggled on contested targets throughout his career and displayed inconsistent hands on uncontested targets, posting an 8.2 percent drop rate for his career and an 11.5 percent drop rate in his final season.
A year ago, Allar’s (6’5”/228) stock was at an all-time high, as the former Nittany Lion was viewed as a potential top-five draft pick after throwing for 3,327-24-8 in his third year on campus. Unfortunately, the decision to return to Penn State in 2025 dealt a heavy blow to Allar’s draft stock after his passing numbers regressed in the six games he appeared in, and a broken left ankle prematurely ended his season. It doesn’t take long to look at Allar and see that he has the size and arm strength to make it in the NFL, but that will only get a player so far. Whether by design or not, Allar has pedestrian numbers for his career as far as YPA (7.4) and ADOT (8.5) are concerned, and his adjusted completion percentage (73.1 percent) is on par with recent QB prospects since 2015. Penn State never put high-end receivers around Allar, and his loss of tight end Tyler Warren after 2024 likely explains some of his drop-off in 2025, but the lack of big-time throws on his profile is concerning, given his traits. Allar’s ability as a runner is another plus that has earned him plenty of praise with scouts, but coaches will need to find a way to tap into his potential to see if he has more to offer. For all his flaws, Allar has displayed a good sense for avoiding sacks when pressured, boasting a career pressure-to-sack rate of 12.9 percent while taking only 43 sacks on 1,144 dropbacks. There’s a lot of work to be done here, but Allar is a worthwhile project that could change a franchise if coaches can find a way to maximize his abilities.
Young should help improve a Baltimore pass rush that struggled at time in 2025. The Ravens had the league’s fifth lowest QB pressure rate, and their 30 team sacks ranked 29th in 2025. Young (6’5/262) recorded 58 total tackles with 18 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and 23 havoc plays, while generating 31 run stops, forcing two fumbles and earning an 85.0 overall grade. His run involvement is notable for an edge defender with a strong 90.6% tackle efficiency, underscoring his ability to set the edge and finish in space. As a pass rusher, Young produced a sterling 15.4% pressure rate, adding four sacks created and two strip sacks. His profile shows a balanced defender who can collapse the pocket without sacrificing run discipline, though continued development of counter moves and finishing consistency will be key at the next level. Overall, Young projects as a versatile 4-3 defensive end with rotational utility early-on, and long-term starter upside as his pass-rush toolbox expands.
Trotter (6’2/237) produced like a classic downhill MIKE, logging 89 tackles with 10.5 TFLs, 13 run stops and 11 havoc plays while anchoring the front with a 65.9 percent run-tackle share. His 89.0 percent tackle rate reflects a controlled, square finisher who consistently arrives with leverage and balance in tight quarters. Trotter adds real blitz value, generating nine pressures on just 53 rushes (17.0 percent pressure rate) with two sacks and three sacks created, showing urgency and timing attacking interior gaps. He plays with a diagnostic trigger versus the run, quickly keying blocking schemes and leveraging his frame to slip or shock blockers despite not being an overwhelming athlete. However, Trotter’s profile flips in coverage, where inconsistent route recognition and delayed processing leave him vulnerable to backs and tight ends on dynamic patterns. He projects as an early-down run-stopping linebacker with subpackage blitz utility, whose path to a three-down role will hinge on improving spatial awareness and anticipation in coverage.
Bernard (6’1/206) spent two years as a backup, split between Michigan State and Washington, during his underclassmen years. It’s normally fair to point out a lack of early-career production as a red flag, but it’s hard to blame him for not producing while parked behind Jayden Reed, Keon Coleman, Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan over those two seasons. Finally at Alabama in 2024, Bernard logged a team-high 50 receptions for 794 yards and two scores. He again led the Crimson Tide in catches in 2025 with 64 and turned that into 862 yards and seven scores while also running for 101 yards and two scores on 18 attempts. Bernard is slippery with the ball in his hands and can win at any level of the field, even if he makes his money on short and intermediate looks. He also has over 500 career routes from the slot and out wide each, meaning he should have no issues playing whatever role his NFL team needs. Bernard isn’t lightning-fast on tape and a 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine is solid, but nothing to write home about. He should stick around the league for a long time, though it’s fair to question the ceiling of his fantasy outlook.
Terrell (5’11/180) delivered a strong second season as Clemson’s boundary corner, logging 375 coverage snaps and holding opponents to 21 completions on 43 targets (48.8 percent) for 216 yards while flashing improved patience and route recognition on the perimeter. Despite allowing three touchdowns, Terrell countered with nine pass breakups and an 18.6 percent forced incompletion rate, illustrating how often he played through the hands and stayed connected at the catch point. His PFF coverage grade landed at a respectable 76.9, supported by favorable efficiency indicators such as 5.0 yards per target, 0.58 yards per coverage snap, and a 76.0 opposing QBR, all of which sit in the “quality starting corner” neighborhood. Terrell’s vertical defense showed stability, surrendering only two completions of 20-plus yards and just 9.4 air yards per attempt against him, signaling that offenses rarely succeeded pushing the ball downfield. Poor testing has raised concerns about his upside, as a dreadful 4.64 40 (29th percentile) and 45th percentile 34” vertical are red flags regarding his athletic potential. He didn’t turn sticky coverage into turnovers as often as you would like to see, and he has trouble with physical X-WR types in coverage. However, Terrell’s smooth movement profile and improved zone coverage acumen position him as a potential immediate contributor.
Hunter (6’3/318) is a heavy-handed, two-gapping interior presence whose evaluation leans on run-game disruption over pure athletic upside, reflected in a modest 4.12 RAS with very poor explosion metrics. Hunter posted 80.9 overall and 84.5 run-defense grades in 2025, pairing that production with 26 pressures, 19 hurries, and 25 run stops, underscoring his ability to muddy interior rushing lanes. He wins with length and violent hands, consistently locking out and creating vertical stalemates versus double teams while showing enough lateral mobility to track the ball outside his gap. Hunter’s profile is that of a “slow-burn” pocket pusher, generating just 7.5 sacks across four seasons with limited burst and a lack of refined pass-rush sequencing. High pads and a narrow base sap his power at times, and his bottom-tier explosiveness testing (21.5” vertical) shows up when he struggles to convert leverage into backfield penetration. Hunter projects as a scheme-diverse 1-tech/2i nose capable of eating blocks and controlling A-gaps, with value tied to his consistency as a run defender rather than impact pass-rush upside.
Ponds will join a New York coverage unit that was by far the NFL’s worst in 2025. No team allowed a higher drop back EPA than the Jets last season and six teams gave up a higher drop back success rate. Ponds (5’8/182) is a hyper-competitive, zone-savvy ball-hawk who pairs elite production with high-end speed metrics (4.38 forty, 8.25 RAS). He logged 778 snaps in 2025 with an 89.9 overall grade and 89.5 coverage grade, allowing just 32 receptions on 64 targets (50.0%) for 379 yards while consistently driving on throws from off leverage. Ponds’ three-year résumé shows steady ball disruption with strong efficiency at 0.41 yards per coverage snap in 2025 and a career 6.1% missed tackle rate. His play style is defined by excellent route recognition, spacing, and vertical carry speed, enabling him to stay in-phase and contest downfield targets despite a 5’8/182 frame. However, his lack of length and play strength shows up at the catch point and versus physical route stems, where bigger receivers can displace him and limit his finishing radius.
Golday (6’4/239) transitioned from edge defender to overhang linebacker and erupted for 103 tackles (42 solo) across 12 games, pairing elite volume with a 92.0 percent tackle rate and 11 havoc plays in a space-heavy role. His hybrid usage shows up in the backfield production, where he posted 6.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks while generating 12 pressures on just 68 pass-rush snaps (17.6 percent pressure rate), flashing legitimate blitz juice. Golday’s range and pursuit ability consistently stress offenses laterally, though his somewhat lighter frame shows up when forced to stack and shed inside. Golday’s athletic profile is jaw-dropping, posting a 9.85 RAS with a 4.62s forty, 39-inch vertical and 10’5” broad jump, validating the explosive range and closing burst seen on tape. His fluid movement skills and former defensive end background give him upside as a pressure-creating second-level defender, particularly in subpackage roles. However, his narrow build and developing take-on technique create projection risk against NFL size, making early-down consistency a question. Golday projects as a high-end special teams contributor with subpackage linebacker upside, capable of carving out a role as a modern space defender if his instincts and play strength continue to trend upward.
In 2025, Cisse (6’0/190) logged 269 coverage snaps and allowed just 18 receptions on 38 targets while surrendering 361 yards with an eyebrow raising 78.9 NFL passer rating against. His 75th-percentile 2025 defensive grade reflects a corner who can hold up in man coverage while bringing competitive run support, posting 26 tackles and 13 stops with a manageable 14.3 percent missed tackle rate. Cisse projects as a scheme-versatile outside corner, but continuing to refine his transitions and tracking in space will determine whether he settles in as a long-term starting option.
Considered a potential first-round talent, 21-year-old Allen (6'1/230) instead tumbled to the middle of Round 2. Allen was a linchpin of Georgia’s front seven in his second year as a full-time defensive centerpiece. He finished with 93 total tackles and an 89.4 percent tackle efficiency rate while generating 12 havoc plays, 7.0 TFLs, and 3.5 sacks while adding eight run stops, showing three-down disruption rather than merely cleanup volume. His pass-rush profile was legitimately impactful from the ILB spot, recording 13 pressures on 80 rushes (16.3 percent pressure rate) with three sacks created and 12 first-pressure wins, underscoring how DC Glenn Schumann weaponized him as a delayed second-level rusher. PFF reflected that versatility with a 76.0 overall grade, 88.6 run-defense, 84.1 tackling, and 68.0 pass-rush, while his lone blemish remained coverage (55.6) as backs and tight ends were able to create space in underneath matchups. Even with that minor coverage dip, Allen was rugged between the hashes, highly efficient as a finisher, and a tone-setter with an NFL-ready skillset that should translate into immediate high leverage snaps.
Stowers (6’4/239) was originally a four-star quarterback recruit at Texas A&M. After two seasons of holding the clipboard, he transferred to New Mexico State. Instead of having him back up Diego Pavia, the Aggies staff moved him to tight end and he immediately took to the position, going for 366 yards as a junior. Pavia and Stowers both transferred to Vanebrilt and the duo’s connection blossomed. Stowers racked up 638 yards in 2024 and 769 yards in 2025. With 62 grabs and four scores, Stowers won the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end. His draft stock hit new heights at the NFL Combine when he set the vertical record at 45.5” and the tight end broad jump record at 11’3”. Add in a 4.51 40 and you’ve got a 90th-percentile athlete, even when adjusting for his slightly undersized build. Stowers has too much speed for linebackers and is still too big for most corners. At his best, he’s a matchup nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators. His blocking is still a work in progress and he’ll likely top out as a functional inline blocker in the pros. Even if that’s the case, he could wind up as the best pass-catcher in the class when all is said and done. That, however, may take a year to materialize. Stowers will likely spend his rookie season rotating in behind Dallas Goedert. Goedert is a free agent after 2026, meaning Stowers could take over the starting gig in his second season.
