The 2026 NFL Draft class is finally taking shape with dozens upon dozens of prospects already declaring their intentions to enter this spring’s draft.

Who are the most talented prospects in the country that could save your favorite franchise and find themselves selected inside the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft? That’s what our A to Z Sports NFL Draft staff is jumping into today to give every NFL fan something to look forward to here soon. Four rounds. 128 picks. No compensatory selections accounted for just yet as those won’t be finalized for quite some time. Let’s jump into this upcoming draft class together. Enjoy!

Current Facts and Stats for the 2026 NFL Draft

  • The Dolphins and Texans lead all NFL teams with (at least) six draft picks inside the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft
  • The Broncos, Browns, Jets, Patriots, Raiders, Steelers all have (at least) five picks inside the first four rounds
  • The Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titnans, New York Giants, and New York Jets are the five most likely teams to land the number one overall pick according to sports book odds with the Arizona Cardinals also firmly in the mix
  • Fernando Mendoza (QB, Indiana), Dante Moore (QB, Oregon), Rueben Bain Jr. (EDGE, Miami), and Ty Simpson (QB, Alabama) are the only four prospects who have greater than a 5% chance to be selected first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft according to sports books

Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft

1. New York Giants: Arvell Reese, LB/EDGE, Ohio State

The Giants could possibly consider a quarterback here, as a new head coach might want “his” guy, and Jaxson Dart has been evaluated for a concussion in 50% of his career games already. However, in this scenario with no trades involved, I have to imagine the Giants would simply opt for best player available, and Arvell Reese is far and away the top player in this class. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

2. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana

This is a slam dunk pick for the Las Vegas Raiders. Fernando Mendoza doesn’t just look like a pro quarterback stature-wise, he also won the Heisman Trophy due to his excellent ability to layer the football to all levels of the field. Easy QB1 in the 2026 NFL Draft class right now. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

3. Tennessee Titans: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech

David Bailey is likely going to continue climbing NFL Draft boards as people begin to realize just how absurd his pass rushing rate stats and physical gifts are. He has back to back seasons with a pass rush pressure rate over 20% (the only power conference player who can claim that in this class). He already has over 20 sacks in the last two seasons alone with the College Football Playoff still to go. He always a plan, and brings with him a variety of moves that help him find success in getting to opposing quarterbacks. Titans get some much-needed pass rush help here. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

4. Cleveland Browns: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon

It feels like big changes could be on the horizon in Cleveland, and that includes the quarterback position. There’s a world where Dante Moore returns to school, and Shedeur Sanders shows enough down the stretch to continue as a starter, but the Browns hit the reset button yet again and take another shot at a franchise signal caller here. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

5. New York Jets: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson

With the Jets trading away Quinnen Williams recently, they are going to need some impact players on the defensive interior. Woods had somewhat of a down year statistically for Clemson in 2025, but he is still a ball of chaos with massive upside to tap into. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

6. Arizona Cardinals: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

Marvin Harrison Jr. hasn’t gotten off to the start in the NFL he would’ve liked, but he’s still clearly their best WR with their best offensive weapon being TE Trey McBride. Jordyn Tyson is my WR1 in this class and would form quite the receiving trio for whoever the Cardinals’ QB is in 2026. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

7. New Orleans Saints: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Went in a different direction here than plenty of mock drafts. Tyler Shough is playing good football for the Saints right now, and it seems like they won’t be picking in the top 3 for a QB anyway. With that, go get a strong, aggressive wideout to pair with Chris Olave. That duo could be awesome. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

8. Washington Commanders: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami

Dan Quinn’s defensive front has plenty of mass, but what about the explosiveness? There appears to be some concern about the length that Bain Jr. is going to post in the draft process, which could cut down on his universal appeal — but Quinn is one of those coaches I’d trust to get Bain into the right spots and unleash his full potential. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

The Bengals desperately need to add talent on defense. Defensive tackle is the top priority, but with Peter Woods already gone, they “settle” for arguably the best player in the class in Caleb Downs. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

10. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL): Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

Even though the Rams’ defense is playing at an elite level, it’s become more and more clear that cornerback is still a massive need for the team. Even though he missed all of 2025 with an offseason injury, Jermod McCoy is still the top cover corner in this class, and would give the Rams their most talented cornerback since Jalen Ramsey. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

11. Miami Dolphins: Francis Mauigoa, OL, Miami

The Dolphins appear to be another step closer to going back to basics — there’s only more questions about QB Tua Tagovailoa’s future now. No matter who is behind center, the line needs to be sturdy to offer them the best chance, and Francis Mauigoa has a chance to thrive at either right guard or right tackle. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

12. Minnesota Vikings: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State

When you look at the Vikings’ defense, the number one thing they need is youth to build a foundation for the future. They essentially just have Dallas Turner and Jalen Redmond. Styles will create a dynamic duo on the second level with Blake Cashman, and the versatility that Brian Flores craves. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

13. Kansas City Chiefs: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

Jeremiyah Love was a Heisman Trophy finalist for a reason. He’s tallied over 3000 yards from scrimmage and 40 touchdowns in the last two seasons combined. He’s one of the fastest running backs in all of college football with home run speed that helps him score from anywhere. Love’s contact balance is much better than expected for his size and build. The Chiefs need to get more explosive and consistent on offense and Love should help them do just that. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

14. Dallas Cowboys: CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

The Cowboys need some help in the defensive backfield, but the way the board fell here, taking a stud inside backer like CJ Allen makes a lot of sense for a unit that could use improvement at all three levels. Placing Allen next to DeMarvion Overshown would make for a dynamic tandem in the middle of that Dallas defense. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

15. Baltimore Ravens: Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

The Ravens moved on from Odafe Oweh in-season as a strategic trade away player. In Keldric Faulk, they get a similar sized player who is a logical fit to seize that role in Baltimore’s front. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

16. Carolina Panthers: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

The Panthers secondary has had a rollercoaster season in 2025. Jaycee Horn projects to be their CB1 of the future, but behind him, there is plenty of uncertainty. Avieon Terrell may be the most NFL-ready cornerback in this class, and his ability to mirror and close on the football give him a high upside projection in the pros. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

17. Detroit Lions: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

Detroit’s defensive scheme under defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has been a fun study, but it’s clear it’s making up for talent deficiencies at multiple spots on the roster, especially at cornerback. Some of that is due to injuries, as the Lions’ entire cornerback room is seemingly on injured reserve, but the starters that have played weren’t exactly shutdown either. Delane is wired the Dan Campbell way, and his outstanding fundamentals made him the best cover corner in the SEC, shutting down the best of the best every single week. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

18. New York Jets (via IND): Brendan Sorsby, QB, Cincinnati

Brendan Sorsby is contemplating taking the transfer portal route or entering the 2026 NFL Draft. If he chooses the latter, his combination of size, arm talent, and athleticism have a chance to make him a high draft pick. While a little volatile at times, his skill set would be a welcome addition to the Jets team. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

Even if Todd Bowles doesn’t stay as the head coach, the Buccaneers desperately need more juice on the edge. Cashius Howell fits exactly what Bowles likes, with explosiveness around the arc and tons of production this past season. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Makai Lemon, WR, USC

Drafting another WR should be a non-negotiable for the Steelers come April, and it needs to be sooner rather than later. Lemon has shown the ability to win in multiple alignments and across a variety of routes. He’s a nice compliment to the explosiveness of DK Metcalf, and he raises the floor of the Steelers’ offense. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

21. Philadelphia Eagles: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

Dallas Goedert is not under contract past this season, and it could make sense for Philadelphia to address that spot here if Kenyon Sadiq slips into the 20’s. The ultra-athlete is one of the top pass catchers in the class, and his blocking ability flies under the radar due to his receiving talent. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

22. Houston Texans: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

The Texans’ offensive line has outplayed expectations down the stretch, but could still improve. Spencer Fano is arguably the top lineman in the class, and if the Texans land this pick, I think they would feel over the moon. With how good their defense is playing, improving their offense at all could elevate them to true contender status. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

23. Dallas Cowboys (via GBP): R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma

R Mason Thomas might not be a first-rounder come April, but he’s a heck of an edge defender, and he fits the mold of what Dallas wants from its pass rushers. His bend, burst, and ability to corner create nightmares for offensive tackles and could be a major problem for heavy-footed protectors in the NFL. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

24. Buffalo Bills: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

The Bills need to keep adding help for Josh Allen and Denzel Boston answers the call here. Boston is a 6-4, 210-pound monster of an athlete who has greater speed, explosiveness, and route running abilities than anyone of his stature should possess. That shows up on every level of his route tree, after the catch, and even in the return game where he’s shown to be a dynamic playmaker as well. He might end up going earlier than this pick in the real NFL Draft. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

25. Chicago Bears: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

With Jermod McCoy missing the 2025 season due to injury, it gave an opportunity for Colton Hood to shine. He is a smooth all around athlete who is incredibly instinctive. He brings a really sound floor to the table, and should be able to excel in a variety of coverages. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

26. Los Angeles Chargers: Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio State

Kayden McDonald may be the most underrated prospect in the class right now, and I love the idea of adding him inside for the Bolts defense. They need more power along the defensive line, and I prefer the Buckeyes product over any option off the edge here. He makes an impact in year one. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

27. San Francisco 49ers: Caleb Banks, DL, Florida

San Francisco spent big on interior DL this past offseason, securing Alfred Collins and CJ West in the 2025 NFL Draft. Banks could be the most dynamic of all three given his power, twitch, size, and athleticism. This pick may feel redundant to some but it’s about creating a true strength on the roster. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

28. Cleveland Browns (via JAX): KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M

How do you help a rookie QB? You give him weapons and protection. KC Concepcion is a do-it-all WR that can be used as a safety button for any QB, but especially a first-year signal caller. He’s not the biggest player, but he’s got cat quicks and plays much bigger than his frame at the catch point. A reliable pick for Cleveland here. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

29. New England Patriots: Dillon Thieneman, SAF, Oregon

The board didn’t exactly fall the Patriots’ way here, but the more I thought about this fit, the more I began to like it. New England needs a safety capable of playing sideline to sideline like Dillon Thieneman can to pair with a budding secondary led by Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones, and he’s the type of playmaker and run defender Mike Vrabel will covet in their defense. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

30. Seattle Seahawks: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

The Seahawks still have a massive hole at right tackle, and Caleb Lomu is talented enough to fill it pretty early on. He is a smooth customer with the length and developing power to become a quality starter at either tackle spot. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

31. Los Angeles Rams: Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas

The Rams will always go to the beat of their own drum, but I have to imagine corner and offensive tackle will be their top non-quarterback needs to address in the offseason. Trevor Goosby has progressively gotten better as the season went on, and his tools suggest a very high ceiling. He’s played at both left and right tackle in his career, but would likely slide over at right tackle to replace Rob Havenstein. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

32. Denver Broncos: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State

Olaivavega Ioane was one of the lone consistent bright spots for the Penn State Nittany Lions in a year where they lost their starting quarterback to injury and their head coach got fired. Ioane has all the size and mobility he needs to play virtually any offensive line position. He may start at guard for the Broncos early in this hypothetical scenario, but he can shift outside or into center if called upon. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

Round 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft

33. Las Vegas Raiders: A.J. Harris, CB, Penn State

The Raiders need just about everything on both sides of the football, and they get a talented cornerback in A.J. Harris who can thrive in Pete Carroll’s scheme, or in more of man coverage one. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

34. Tennessee Titans: Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee

The Tennessee Vols’ offensive scheme doesn’t always translate when it comes to sending wide receivers to the pros, but Chris Brazzell looks like he could be the exception. The Titans desperately need more help for new franchise quarterback Cam Ward, and Brazzell is a player who can snag balls way outside of this frame, win in contested situations, but also has enough savvy and speed to create space for himself. And he doesn’t need a lot of it at 6-5, 200+ pounds. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

35. New York Giants: Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State

The Giants have loaded up on building their defensive front, now it’s time to address the secondary. Deonte Banks hasn’t lived up to first-round expectations, and Cordale Flott is set to be a free agent. In an NFC East featuring plenty of elite receiving talent, the Giants need this secondary to be much more competitive than it currently is, and fast. Abney, with his physical mentality and tremendous instincts, is a great step forward in achieving that. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

36. New York Jets: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville

The Jets need to add more wide receiver talent to pair with Garrett Wilson. Chris Bell is a massive wideout who excels after the catch, while also winning in the air. If he gets back healthy from his knee injury, Bell has a chance to add a skill set to this offense that they just don’t have right now. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

37. Arizona Cardinals: Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama

The Cardinals bypassed QB in round one but take a swing on Alabama’s Ty Simpson in the second round. At one point, Simpson was the favorite to win the Heisman and looked to be in discussion to be the top QB in the 2026 class. His struggles down the stretch have hit his stock hard, but the talent is definitely there and could help the Cardinals hit the reset button at QB. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

38. Cleveland Browns: Kamari Ramsey, SAF, USC

The Browns went offense with the first two picks, and now they find an answer at the safety spot with Ramsey. The Browns typically have players who elevate the defensive scheme, and that’s what Ramsey can do as a multi-faceted chess piece on the back end of the Browns defense. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

39. Houston Texans (via WAS): Connor Lew, C, Auburn

Back-to-back offensive line selections for the Texans could have them in business to be really dangerous in 2026. If it weren’t for an injury, Connor Lew’s tape could have him easily off the board as a top 20 selection. Texans land the top tackle and the top center in the class. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

40. Cincinnati Bengals: Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State

Defensive line is a major priority as we discussed above. Ideally, the Bengals would get one that has some real pass rush juice. The best player on the board is Domonique Orange, who is a two-gapping nose tackle that can make an impact in the running game. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

41. New Orleans Saints: Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M

Cesar Ruiz has struggled mightily for the Saints this season, and there is uncertainty for the future along the interior offensive line. Star center Erik McCoy is dealing with another season-ending injury, so it is fair to consider his long-term status for New Orleans. Chase Bisontis plays a powerful game for the Aggies and immediately places pressure on any veterans upfront for the Saints. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

42. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

Cisse has been a riser in the process, and his mirror-match ability could have him going night one when it’s all set and done. The Falcons have a lot of moves to make this offseason, but if you saw that game against the Buccaneers on Thursday, you witnessed a team that couldn’t cover anyone on the field. This pick changes that. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

43. Kansas City Chiefs: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

This past offseason many thought that T.J. Parker had the tools to to rise into first overall selection conversations in the 2026 NFL Draft. The physical tools are certainly still there, but he didn’t quite have the season that he wanted with Clemson in 2024. Through 11 games he had just two sacks and 30 pressures on the season. However, he did clean up with a career game against South Carolina to finish the year: 10 pressures, four sacks. If the Chiefs can find a way to get the most out of the insanely high motor and strength of Parker, they could be getting an early first round talent here. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

44. Minnesota Vikings: Christen Miller, DT, Georgia

The Vikings love to prioritize pass rush juice, and Christen Miller is just that. A talented three-tech, Miller will give the Vikings some youth behind Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

45. Miami Dolphins: Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

The Dolphins’ cornerback situation is exponentially better than anyone would have guessed. Both Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones have played well in stretches this season but both are also only on one-year contracts. That leaves no long-term stability to the room, which Johnson can bring. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

46. New York Jets (via DAL): Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M

While Lee isn’t the physical talent that Sauce Gardner is, the Texas A&M star brings a similar demeanor and play style. It you love press man cornerbacks with a bit of an attitude, then Lee is going to be for you. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

47. Carolina Panthers: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas

Another key defensive piece here for the Panthers. Anthony Hill Jr. is an awesome athlete who can join a rather lackluster linebacker core for Carolina. In their defensive scheme, I can see him having a lot of downhill success and creating some chaos plays for their unit — even as a rookie. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

48. Baltimore Ravens: Kadyn Proctor, OL, Alabama

The Daniel Faalele experience could soon be coming to a close and Baltimore is going to need to reassess their starting situation at both guard spots this offseason. Proctor has played tackle at Alabama but he would be, admittedly, a perfect fit in Baltimore with his mauling style. As a guard conversion, this value is sensible and the risk is well worth the reward in the second-round. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

49. Indianapolis Colts: Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech

The Colts’ pass rush is truly bland. Laiatu Latu is their top player, but his play is too inconsistent to bet on as a true number one. The team also only has two players on their roster beyond this season, so adding them is a must. Texas Tech’s Romello Height is a sleeper in this class who I think is worthy of being a first round pick. It could make a lot of sense for the Colts if he indeed falls into the second tier. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

50. Detroit Lions: Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE, Oregon

Al-Quadin Muhammad has filled in admirably opposite of Aidan Hutchinson, but the Lions need a young, long-term pass rusher to form a tandem with Hutchinson up front. Matayo Uiagalelei would fit perfectly with Detroit. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana

The Buccaneers love to play man coverage at a high rate, and D’Angelo Ponds is a feisty cornerback. He’s not the biggest guy at 5-9, but he will go toe-to-toe with anyone on the outside, including Jeremiah Smith, who he fared decently well against. – Tyler Forness, A to Z Sports Minnesota

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Justice Haynes, RB, Michigan

The breakout of Kenny Gainwell could change what the Steelers do this offseason, but with Kaleb Johnson struggling to see the field, Gainwell on an expiring deal, and the team still hesitating to give Jaylen Warren a full workload, the Steelers find their next feature back. – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Pittsburgh

53. Houston Texans: Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington

The Texans continue to reshape their offense in this class by taking Washington RB Jonah Coleman. It seems likely that Joe Mixon isn’t back with Houston next year, so Jonah Coleman would provide great competition with Woody Marks to become the Texans’ starting RB going forward, with the other being able also to have a significant role going forward. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

54. Philadelphia Eagles: Gennings Dunker, OL, Iowa

Philly’s offensive line unit up front has had some struggles this season, largely due to injuries and depth. Gennings Dunker seemingly projects as a guard at the NFL level, and he’s one of the best run blockers in the class. This fit makes a ton of sense to me, and the Eagles always value offensive line play when considering roster building. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

55. Green Bay Packers: Julian Neal, CB, Arkansas

The Packers’ immediate future took a significant hit when Micah Parsons tore his ACL. They aren’t going to fill the hole that injury leaves easily, but their defense, for sure, needs improvement if they are going to be able to withstand his absence. Arkansas Julian Neal looks like a day one starter, and the Packers’ CB room needs just that. – Destin Adams, A to Z Sports Indianapolis

56. Buffalo Bills: A’Mauri Washington, DL, Oregon

A’Mauri Washington took a huge step forward in 2025 with the Oregon Ducks. He became one of the best run defending tackles in the country with havoc-wreaking ability to push the pocket even if he wasn’t always the one getting credit for pass rush pressures. Washington is athletic enough to do anything that Buffalo’s defensive front calls him to do, and he’ll thrive best playing inside the B-gap. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor

57. San Francisco 49ers: Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee

The worst kept secret in football is how much Robert Saleh likes to rotate his defensive front. Accordingly, San Francisco’s collection of talent on the edge behind a currently injured Nick Bosa sure feels like it could use some more juice to pair with 2025 first-round pick Mykel Williams. Joshua Josephs has been phenomenal this year for the Vols and gets the nod here. – Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports Miami

58. Los Angeles Chargers: Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State

Kelley Jones is a player who may rise up draft boards due to his unreal length. The Bulldogs CB will probably be listed between 6-3 and 6-4 at the NFL Combine and uses that length effectively in the SEC. Teams refused to throw to his side of the field for most of this season. The Chargers lack some size outside with their CBs. Jones adds that and exciting potential. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports Philadelphia

59. Jacksonville Jaguars: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo

The Jaguars need to become more dynamic and productive in the secondary. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a massive safety with an impressive football IQ and versatility. He should start for Jacksonville very early on in his career. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

60. Chicago Bears: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State

All the tools are there for Dani Dennis-Sutton to develop into a starter, but he’s just so inconsistent right now. Betting on traits on the edge, however, is hardly ever a bad investment. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

61. Seattle Seahawks: Kenyatta Jackson Jr., EDGE, Ohio State

As the 2025 season has gone on, Kenyatta Jackson has become more and more impactful. He brings outstanding size at 6-6 and 265 pounds, and Jackson is just beginning to figure out just how good he can be. – Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports Notre Dame

62. New England Patriots: Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri

The Patriots have long coveted those prototypical long, physical edge rushers who can play on all three downs. He needs to keep growing his bag of pass rush moves, but Young has a constantly hot motor, is a force in the run game, and has plenty of power to collapse the pocket, driving quarterbacks up into the waiting arms of Christian Barmore and Milton Williams. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

63. Los Angeles Rams: Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri

I always hesitate to say the Rams will draft a linebacker early, especially with their investment in Nate Landman, but Omar Speights has been a clear weak spot of the team this season, and they need to bolster the talent in this room in a big way. Josiah Trotter could immediately upgrade the linebacker group. – AJ Schulte, A to Z Sports Oklahoma

64. Denver Broncos: Max Klare, TE, Ohio State

Max Klare was already a complete tight end prospect when he was playing at Purdue, but after transferring to Ohio State this year took yet another step forward. He didn’t have to be the focal point of the passing attack given he was surrounded by future first round wide receivers, but he still managed over 40 catches for nearly 450 yards anyway. He does it all. Klare’s blocking has improved. He can win lined up in-line, in the slot, or even out wide. The Broncos get a big-bodied versatile athletic weapon to help Bo Nix continue in his development. – Travis May, A to Z Sports College Football & NFL Draft Managing Editor
