Bucs selected Clemson DT Demonte Capehart with the No. 155 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Demonte, Capehart
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Capehart (6’5/313) is a traits-based interior defender whose 9.96 RAS (elite speed/explosion) jumps off the page, pairing a 4.85 40 (96th percentile) with a 33.5” vertical (95th percentile) to create a high-end movement profile. Despite modest raw production (24 tackles, 4.0 havoc plays, 2.0 TFL, one sack), Capehart’s tape reflects a disruptive presence, converting his burst and heavy hands into backfield penetration that doesn’t always show up in the box score. He plays with plus length and leverage, consistently anchoring versus the run (91.7 percent run tackle rate, 92.3 percent tackle efficiency) while stacking and shedding to generate eight run stops in a rotational role. Capehart’s game is built on power and first-step quickness, flashing the ability to forklift blockers and collapse pockets when singled, but his pass-rush plan remains underdeveloped and overly reliant on bull-rush momentum. He can win early in reps with explosiveness, yet struggles to counter once initial contact is stalled, leading to uneven down-to-down consistency. Capehart projects as a high-upside rotational three-technique with starter traits, whose elite testing profile and flashes of disruption make him an intriguing developmental bet.

Colts selected Florida EDGE George Grumbs Jr. with the No. 156 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

George, Gumbs Jr.
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Grumbs (6'4/245) committed to Northern Illinois as a wide receiver. He moved to tight end after playing primarily on special teams as a freshman. Grumbs then moved to EDGE after serving as a backup tight end for one year. Finally at his true position, Grumbs was immediately productive, racking up 6.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks with a pair of forced fumbles. He then transferred to Florida and served as a backup pass-rusher for one more year, notching five sacks along the way. In 2025, Grumbs tallied 2.5 sacks and 6.5 TFLs before undergoing season-ending meniscus surgery in November. Unsurprisingly, Grumbs doesn’t have an array of pass-rush moves and is still a work in progress in the run game. He is a developmental player for the Colts, but one who could pay dividends down the road.

Dolphins selected Texas S Michael Taaffe with the No. 158 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Michael, Taaffe
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Taaffe (5'11/190) finished his collegiate career as a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, presented to the top player in the nation who began his career as a walk-on. He earned Third-Team Associated Press All American honors in his senior season after amassing 148 tackles during his final two years at Texas. Taaffe demonstrates elite football smarts, positioning, and instincts but lacks top-end speed, leaving him susceptible to vertical routes. He also lacks the agility and quickness to be effective in man coverage. Taaffe will likely need to contribute to special teams to stick on an NFL roster.

Vikings selected Michigan TE Max Bredeson with the No. 159 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Max, Bredeson
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Bredeson (6’2”/252) joined Michigan as a walk-on in 2021 but found himself serving as a weekly contributor by 2022. In 2023, the TE/H-back appeared in all 15 games for the national champion Wolverines, helping to pave the way for a two-headed rushing attack that averaged 169.1 rushing yards per game while the offense finished the season ranked 14th in points per game. The younger brother of Buccaneers offensive lineman Ben Bredeson, Bredeson is a willing and able run blocker whose size can impact the running game. Bredson only has 12 career offensive touches to his name, all of which came in the passing game. The Vikings announced him as a tight end when they selected him in the fifth round.

Buccaneers selected Notre Dame OG Billy Schrauth with the No. 160 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Billy, Schrauth
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Schrauth (6’5/310) is a tough, ornery interior presence whose tape screams old-school phone booth guard, pairing upper-body strength with heavy, knock-back hands. He delivered an ultra-efficient 2025 season, posting an 82.7 PFF pass-block grade with just two pressures allowed across 213 pass-blocking snaps, good for a stellar 99.5 percent pass-block efficiency. He shows strong awareness versus pressure looks, consistently sorting blitzes and anchoring down with the grip strength and pop to control rushers once latched. A team captain who famously gutted through a serious knee injury against USC, Schrauth brings the kind of toughness and leadership offensive line coaches covet, but durability remains a central concern after missing time in back-to-back seasons. His sample size is limited with just 1,393 career snaps, and his movement skills show inconsistencies when asked to connect in space or hit moving targets at the second level. While he’s at his best in tight quarters where he can play square and leverage his power, his range limitations cap his scheme versatility. Schrauth profiles as a guard with starting upside in a gap-heavy system, provided medicals check out and his availability stabilizes.

Chiefs traded up with the Steelers to select Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson with the no. 161 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Emmett, Johnson
Apr 25, 2026 15:00

Lions selected Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder with the No. 118 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Jimmy, Rolder
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Rolder (6’2"/238) emerged as a steady second-level producer for Michigan, posting 69 tackles with 10 havoc plays, 6.5 TFLs, and 10 run stops while finishing at a strong 90.8 percent tackle rate. His 62.3 percent run-tackle share underscores a downhill profile, consistently inserting into gaps with square pads and finishing through contact. Rolder flashes useful blitz utility, generating 10 pressures on 68 rushes (14.7 percent pressure rate) with two sacks and a quick 2.41 time-to-first-pressure, highlighting his trigger and closing burst. He wins with processing speed and range rather than overwhelming power, showing the ability to flow sideline-to-sideline and stay clean when working in space.Athletically, Rolder checks key boxes with a 9.53 RAS, pairing adequate size with above-average explosion (36-inch vertical) and strong agility testing (4.26 shuttle, 7.00 three-cone), giving him the movement profile to hold up in subpackages. He projects as a rotational WILL linebacker and core special teamer early, with a pathway to a starting role if he continues to refine block deconstruction and play strength inside.

Jaguars selected Duke EDGE Wesley Williams with the No. 119 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Wesley, Williams
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Williams (6'4/256) was a player on radars after he picked up 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles in his junior year at Duke, but he didn’t have nearly the same production in 2025 with just two sacks and nine tackles for loss in his 14 contests. He has a chance to be an immediate contributor on special teams however, as he blocked five kicks in his four years in the ACC. He didn’t test particularly well either in Indianapolis, as he ran a poor 4.89s dash for a player who projects to play outside, although his 1.68s 10-yard split is more promising. The hope is that the 2024 version is more indicative of his talents than his 2025 campaign, and the ability to make an impact with a potential blocked kick won’t hurt his chances of making the roster.

Steelers selected Iowa WR Kaden Wetjen with the No. 121 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Kaden, Wetjen
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Spending a fourth round pick on a kick returner is certainly a choice. Wetjen, 24, is a decorated return specialist whose elite traits should earn him an NFL roster spot. He spent two seasons at Iowa Western Community College before transferring to Iowa in 2022. In each of the past two seasons, Wetjen won the Jet Award, given to college football’s best return specialist, was named Big Ten Return Specialist of the Year and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors. He was a first-team All-American in 2024 and a Consensus All-American in 2025. Among P4 return specialists with 20-plus returns, Wetjen’s 28.5 yards per kick return ranks second, and he tops the charts with 26.8 yards per punt return and a 1.1 missed tackles forced average.

Raiders traded up with the Falcons to select Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. with the No. 122 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Mike, Washington Jr.
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

The Raiders traded No. 134 and No. 208 for No. 122. Following a redshirt season, Washington (6’1/223) got the ball rolling at Buffalo in 2022 with a 150-625-7 rushing line, leading the Bulls in all three of those stats. After falling under 100 carries in his next campaign, Washington transferred to New Mexico State, where he ran for 725 yards and eight scores on 157 attempts. One final transfer put him at the top of Arkansas’s backfield. He finally posted a true breakout season, running for 1,070 yards and eight scores on 167 totes. Washington also took a notable step forward as a receiver, compiling 228 yards and one score on 28 grabs. With 17 carries for 15+ yards, Washington’s speed was apparent on tape, but no one was prepared for his NFL Combine performance. Washington blazed a 4.33 40 with a 39” vertical and a 10”8 broad jump. At his size, the Isaac Guerendo comparison made itself. Washington’s Arkansas breakout puts him in a class above Guerendo as a prospect, but it’s also fair to say Washington has yet to live up to the potential of his absurd athleticism. He will need to hone his footwork and vision in the pros to make that happen. Washington will get a chance to backup the Raiders’ 2025 rookie running back, Ashton Jeanty.

Texans selected Clemson LB Wade Woodaz with the No. 123 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Wade, Woodaz
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Woodaz, 22, was a rangy, productive four-year player and two-plus-year starter who wore the green dot at Clemson. In 2024, Woodaz totaled 83 tackles, 10 TFLs, three sacks, three forced fumbles, six passes defended and three interceptions. In 2025, he totaled 70 tackles, seven TFLs, 0.5 sacks and three passes defended. He should contribute right away on special teams and could eventually compete for a starting role.

Bears selected Texas CB Malik Muhammad with the No. 124 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Malik, Muhammad
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Muhammad (6’0"/182) is a fluid, instinctive cover man whose bona fide athletic profile (9.51 RAS, 4.42 forty) translates directly to sticky coverage on tape. He allowed just 13 receptions on 27 targets (48.1 percent) for 134 yards across 352 coverage snaps, posting an excellent 0.38 yards per coverage snap with a 37.4 NFL QB rating against. Muhammad’s 18.5 percent forced incompletion rate and two INTs with three pass breakups underscore his ability to close windows and disrupt at the catch point despite a lean 6’0/182 frame. His foot quickness and route-matching instincts show up in-phase, where he consistently mirrors stems and drives downhill with decisive trigger timing. In run support, Muhammad contributed 26 tackles with 8.0 havoc plays, though his 81.3 percent tackle rate and lack of mass show up in missed finishes and limited stopping power. He projects as an outside/slot hybrid whose coverage instincts and movement skills carry immediate value, but long-term ceiling hinges on adding functional strength to withstand NFL physicality.

Bills selected UConn WR Skyler Bell with the No. 125 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Skyler, Bell
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Bell (6’/192) originally committed to Wisconsin, where he redshirted in his first year and turned a starting role into 440 receiving yards plus 260 rushing yards in the following season. The Badgers scaled his role back in 2023, which limited him to a measly 296 yards. Without much to do in Wisconsin, Bell transferred to UConn. Now back in a full-time role, he immediately popped for a team-high 850 yards. Several schools made Bell offers in the transfer portal. UConn head coach Jim Mora confirmed that Bell even had a $500K offer from Michigan on the table. UConn ultimately retained its top wideout and was rewarded with a dominant season. Bell posted a 101-1,278-13 receiving line, setting the school record for catches and receiving touchdowns in a single season. He operated at all depths of the field throughout his five years in college, but his skills were maximized when the Huskies peppered him with underneath targets. Bell averaged 8.2 YAC per catch and moved the chains 50 times in 2025. Only three wideouts created more first downs last year. The step up in competition from UConn to the NFL could be tough, but Bell has the makings of a dynamic WR2 at the next level.

Bills selected TCU LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr with the No. 126 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Kaleb, Elarms-Orr
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Elarms-Orr (6’2/234) was a volume-driven production engine for TCU, piling up 130 tackles with a strong 68.2 percent run-stop share while adding 10 havoc plays, 8 TFLs and 4 sacks as an every-down outside linebacker. His 91.5 percent tackle rate underscores reliable finishing despite aggressive angles, though his pursuit style can create volatility when forced to redirect late. Elarms-Orr also flashed legitimate blitz value, generating 21 pressures on 123 rushes (17.1 percent pressure rate) with a 20.0 percent third-down pressure rate, highlighting his timing and burst as a rusher. He wins with sideline-to-sideline range and closing speed, triggering quickly downhill and using fluid change-of-direction ability to track ball carriers in space. Athletically, Elarms-Orr checks the boxes with a 9.33 RAS, including elite speed (4.47s forty, 98th%) and explosion (40" vertical, 98th-percentile), though his agility testing (4.41 shuttle, 7.10 three-cone) lands closer to average. His biggest hurdle remains processing, as inconsistent key recognition and overaggressive pursuit angles can lead to missed fits and coverage lapses. Elarms-Orr projects as a sub-package WILL linebacker and core special teamer early, with upside to develop into a starting weakside option if his instincts and play recognition catch up to his high-end athletic traits.

49ers selected Washington OT Carver Willis with the No. 127 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Carver, Willis
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

He will join a San Francisco offensive line graded by Pro Football Focus as last season’s 18th best pass-blocking offensive line. Willis (6’5/303) is a quick-trigger, zone-scheme left tackle whose tape shows a finisher’s mentality and easy movement skills in space. In pass pro, Willis allowed 4 sacks with an elevated 4.2% pressure rate on 312 pass-blocking snaps. In the run game, he accelerates into contact with pop, works up to second-level landmarks with urgency, particularly on backside and climb concepts. Athletically, Willis checked in with a 5.98 RAS, showing good straight-line speed but lacking the mass, length and anchor profile typical of NFL tackles. He also needs to continue fortifying his frame to better absorb bull rushers and maintain balance through contact.

Bengals selected Auburn C Connor Lew with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Connor, Lew
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

An SEC All-Freshman Team honoree, Lew is a technically sound, high-IQ interior lineman whose consistency and processing ability give him a strong floor at the next level. He posted a 71.9 PFF grade in 2025 after a career-best 79.9 mark in 2024, allowing just 2 sacks and 4 total pressures across 244 pass-blocking snaps with a 98.7 pass-blocking efficiency, continuing a three-year run of steady pass protection. Across his career, Lew surrendered only 3 sacks and 19 total pressures on 914 pass-blocking snaps, showcasing reliable technique, strong hand usage and the ability to control reps early with quick, independent strikes. Lew wins with strong hands, core strength and a wrestling background that shows up in his leverage and ability to anchor, while also demonstrating sharp awareness to identify fronts and handle twists, blitzes and second-level threats. He can struggle to generate consistent leg drive against nose tackles and avoid over-setting in pass protection, especially after returning from a 2025 ACL injury that limited his snap count. With advanced processing, clean pass-protection production and positional versatility, Lew projects as a high-floor interior starter who fits best gap-heavy NFL scheme.

Dolphins selected Texas EDGE Trey Moore with the No. 130 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Trey, Moore
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Moore was one of the most impressive edge rushers in the country during his time at UTSA in 2022-2023, and his final season with the Roadrunners saw him accumulate 14 sacks while winning Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. He then transferred to Texas, and while he didn’t come close to that production, he was able to pick up 8.5 sacks in his 28 games with the Longhorns, with four passes broken up and 14.5 tackles for loss. Moore ( 6’1"/243) unfortunately gets the “tweener” label for the next level; too small to play with his hand down, not quite athletic enough to be a linebacker. Because of his productivity and the 4.51s 40-yard dash speed he showed in Indianapolis, he’ll get a chance to show he can be a versatile defender at the highest level, and it wouldn’t be a shock if he out performed his prospectus.

Chargers selected Arizona S Genesis Smith with the No. 131 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Genesis, Smith
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Smith (6'2/202) entered a true starting role for the Wildcats in 2024, notching six PBUs and three interceptions before earning Third-Team All-Big 12 honors in 2025. Arguably one of the top ballhawking safeties in his class, Smith could find a reserve role on an NFL roster from the jump in addition to the potential to contribute to special teams. His vision and anticipation helped overcome glaring discrepancies at the collegiate level, something that was reinforced by his decision to skip the 40-yard dash at the Combine this year. Average top-end speed and poor open-field abilities keep Smith from being a true late-round gem, particularly in today’s league in which safeties are relied on so heavily in gap coverage against the run. Even so, Smith should stick on an NFL roster come September.

Saints selected Auburn C Jeremiah Wright with the No. 132 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Jeremiah, Wright
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Wright (6’5/331) is a thickly built, power-driven interior lineman with over 2,000 career snaps and a play style rooted in physicality and finishing ability. Wright brings a broad frame with 33 1/8” arms, heavy 10” hands and a stout base, consistently generating movement at the point of attack while playing with violent intent in the run game. He’s at his best in downhill gap concepts, where his upper-body strength and competitive demeanor allow him to displace defenders and control reps once he’s latched. Wright’s 2025 production showed the limitations in his profile, as he allowed 22 pressures and 5 sacks on 449 pass-blocking snaps (96.8% efficiency) with a modest 67.1 PFF pass-block grade, highlighting issues against quicker interior rushers. His limited lateral mobility and lack of high-end athleticism show up when he’s forced to mirror or operate in space, where his effectiveness drops off significantly. With guard-only experience and a clear power-scheme fit, Wright projects as a stout interior mauler whose path to a starting role hinges on masking his movement limitations and maximizing his strength at the point of attack.

Ravens selected SMU TE Matthew Hibner with the No. 133 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Matthew, Hibner
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Hibner (6’4/251) is a sixth-year senior who began his career as a reserve tight end and special teamer with Michigan. He transferred to SMU prior to the 2024 season and became a starter, tallying 55 receptions for 804 yards and eight touchdowns across two seasons with the Mustangs. Displaying straight-line speed with a 4.57 40-yard dash at the combine, Hibner has the ability to be a solid downfield target. He split time between the slot, wing, and inline roles in college, showing versatility as a receiver. Hibner isn’t imposing as a blocker and has limited college production, but his extensive special teams experience will help in giving him a chance to stick on an NFL roster. In Baltimore he will join Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe in the tight end room. The Ravens had traditionally been among the league leaders in multiple tight end set usage.

Falcons selected Oklahoma LB Kendal Daniels with the No. 134 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Kendal, Daniels
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Daniels played safety at Oklahoma State from 2022-2024 before transferring to Oklahoma and switching to linebacker. He ran a 4.79-second 40, clocked a 4.37-second short-shuttle drill and a 29.5” vertical jump at Oklahoma’s Pro Day. In his first college season, he was a Freshman All-American, second-team All-Big 12 and was named the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. In his final season as a safety, Daniels totaled 64 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, 5.5 sacks and seven passes defended. As a linebacker in 2025, he totaled 53 tackles, nine TFLs and three passes defended. He should have little issue contributing on special teams right away, and could end up competing for a starting role.

Colts selected Oregon LB Bryce Boettcher with the No. 135 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Bryce, Boettcher
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Boettcher (6’1/233) is a high-volume tackling machine who posted 105 tackles with a strong 90.5 percent tackle rate and 75.0 percent run involvement, consistently living around the football. He added 11 havoc plays with 4 TFLs and flashed situational pressure ability with 8 pressures on 51 rushes (15.7 percent pressure rate), highlighting his downhill trigger. Boettcher’s 7.14 RAS reflects solid, well-rounded athleticism (4.69s forty, 34.5” vertical) without standout traits, but his instincts and processing speed drive his production. He shows playmaker flashes in coverage with 1 interception and 4 PBUs, though his tendency to overrun fits and struggle disengaging from blocks creates inconsistency. Boettcher projects as a “see ball, get ball” WILL linebacker whose tackling efficiency and motor give him early special teams value with developmental starter upside. Boettcher was also selected in the 2024 MLB Draft by the Astros, but chose to remain in school for 2025. The 2026 NFL Draft’s ESPN broadcast tells us that the Astros will continue holding his baseball contract rights for now.

Saints selected North Dakota State WR Bryce Lance with the No. 136 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Bryce, Lance
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

The brother of former No. 2 overall pick Trey Lance, Bryce (6’3"/204) followed in his sibling’s footsteps to North Dakota State, where he spent three years as either a redshirt or a special teamer. Lance finally got his chance to start in 2024 and made the most of the opportunity by racking up 17 receiving touchdowns, a mark that unsurprisingly led all D1 receivers. Lance also added one touchdown on the ground. Though he “only” scored eight times in 2025, Lance did so while averaging 21.2 yards per catch and 3.58 yards per route run. Both of those marks ranked top-10 among all D1 wideouts (min. 50 targets). Lance is a lengthy deep-ball specialist from North Dakota State. That, of course, was always going to earn him the Christian Watson comparison. He solidified the connection at the NFL Combine with a 4.34 40-yard dash, beating Watson by two thousandths of a second. Lance also posted 98th-percentile burst measurables and a solid short-shuttle mark of 4.15 seconds. North Dakota State’s run-first offense doesn’t ask its wideouts to run every route at an elite level, meaning Lance will need more reps to hone his skills as an underneath receiver. Even if he never develops that skill set, Lance has a bright future as a big-play Z receiver in the pros.

Cowboys selected Alabama EDGE LT Overton with the No. 137 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

LT, Overton
Apr 25, 2026 14:00

Overton (6‘3/274) is a power-based defender whose profile hinges more on growth potential and alignment flexibility than consistent production, totaling just 12.0 career tackles for loss across 49 games. He shows the ability to lock out, control blocks and anchor at the point, translating to a gap-sound run defender who can reduce inside or set a firm edge. His 2025 PFF data reflects modest pass-rush output (24 total pressures, 5 sacks, 17 hurries on 256 pass-rush snaps), reinforcing concerns about his lack of a defined rush plan and limited finishing ability. Overton’s athletic profile (2.47 RAS) exposes below-average explosion and agility, with a 4.75 shuttle (15th percentile) and 7.61 three-cone (27th percentile) underscoring stiffness that limits his ability to corner and consistently win the edge. He flashes heavy hands and bull-rush pop, but inconsistent get-off and delayed counters allow tackles to sit on his initial move, stalling his path to the quarterback. In the run game, he leverages strength and length to absorb double teams and maintain gap integrity, though he can be slow to disengage and finish plays. Overton projects as an early-down rotational defensive lineman with inside-outside flexibility, offering a high-floor run defender profile while needing significant refinement in pass-rush sequencing to carve out a larger NFL role.

Raiders traded up with the Bills to select Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy with the No. 101 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Jermod, McCoy
Apr 25, 2026 13:00

The Bills received the No. 102 pick and a seventh-round pick as the Raiders moved up one spot to take McCoy. Expected to be a day one pick, McCoy slid in the draft amidst concerns over his ACL injury and subsequent reports indicating he might need an additional surgery to address the issue. JMcCoy (6’0/193) sustained a torn ACL in January 2025 which kept him out of action this year, but he turned in a polished and well-rounded 2024 campaign, earning an 89.6 PFF coverage grade that underscored his ability to stay connected, squeeze throwing windows, and finish at the catch point. Opposing quarterbacks targeted him 62 times, completing just 31 passes (50.0 percent) for 386 yards, as McCoy complemented ball skills with disruption, logging 4 interceptions and 6 PBUs. His tackling efficiency adds an additional dimension, as he missed only 4 attempts (7.0 percent) while generating 11 stops, contributing to a solid 79.0 PFF tackling grade. Overall, McCoy’s 2024 profile reads like a high-IQ, ball-productive cover corner with sticky man traits and efficient tackling. However, lingering concerns about the condition of his surgically repaired knee cloud his overall draft projection.
