Shortly, we will have landing spots for all of these talented players, which will shift their fantasy football values. After the NFL Draft concludes, I’ll be updating all of these write-ups and my rookie positional primers with fantasy outlooks.

Without further ado, let’s dive into my Top 100 players for Superflex leagues who will help define the 2026 fantasy football landscape.

Dynasty Rookie Draft Rankings & Player Notes: Superflex (Fantasy Football)

Let’s look at my top 100 superflex dynasty rookie draft rankings, including positional rankings and player notes.

1) Jeremiyah Love – RB1

Jeremiyah Love glides across the field. He has instant and easy elite acceleration. Love will monetarily pause after receiving a handoff with some runs before exploding upfield. He has the burst to get away with it. Love also has backbreaking home run speed with the ability to house any carry or screen. Love has an amazing combination of vision, patience, contact balance, and power with his frame. Love has no issues letting blocks set up in front of him before weaving through traffic. With his frame, Love flashes impressive finishing power with runs and interior rushing skill. He won’t be a player that is pulled at the goalline for a bruising power option. He can string together tackle-breaking moves without losing speed with impressive fluidity. Love is a spin move, samurai deploying the move to churn out a few extra yards. He’s made plenty of defenders look silly in the process. His creativity at the second-level can be jaw-dropping with jump cuts, spin moves, and some insane hurdles. Love should be a passing game weapon from Day 1 in the NFL. Since 2024, he has aligned in the slot or out wide with 10.6-16.6% of his snaps. He was tasked with wheels and angle routes in addition to the usual flats and dumpoffs. Love can also align in the slot or on the perimeter. His explosive short-area agility allows him to run routes like a true wide receiver. Love’s pass pro still needs some refinement. He has the play strength and base to be a trusted pass pro option from the jump in the NFL. With many reps, he’ll physically push a defender off course or out of the play path, but he also needs to work on anchoring down or latching onto a defender and driving them into the dirt. His technique will improve with more coaching in the NFL, but he has the skills to become one of the league’s best in this area. Since 2024, he has amassed 118 pass blocking snaps (per PFF), allowing zero sacks or quarterback hits and only four pressures.

2) Fernando Mendoza – QB1

Mendoza has an easy, quick release. He has the necessary arm strength to make every throw required in the NFL. His touch and ball placement are strong. He leads his receivers on crossers well and doesn’t limit YAC opportunities while also being able to drop it in the bucket for go routes. He can sling it from multiple arm angles. His pocket presence is excellent. Mendoza doesn’t drift in the pocket. He will climb versus the rush and has no issues standing tall against incoming pressure to deliver the ball to his receivers. While he isn’t an electric athlete, Mendoza is a solid opportunistic scrambler. He can pick up a few yards with his legs when the situation calls for it. Mendoza isn’t an off-script artist, but he can make some plays outside of structure. It’s not a world that he seeks to live in and shouldn’t. There’s something to be said for being a “boring” quarterback that can be trusted to run an offense. He’ll have to adjust to tighter windows in the NFL. It’s not a consistent issue for Mendoza, but he did show some hesitancy pulling the trigger early in 2025 when faced with smaller throwing windows. He would pump and pat the ball at times, but he did improve in this aspect throughout the 2025 season, ripping it more consistently with confidence toward the end of the season. Mendoza didn’t work much under center, which will be a hurdle with his transition to the NFL with footwork, etc. It will help that last year, Klint Kubiak allowed Sam Darnold to work from shotgun on 63.3% of his dropbacks. Don’t be surprised if Kubiak bumps that rate up some for his rookie quarterback in 2026.

3) Carnell Tate – WR1

Tate is a fluid mover who looks like he’s gliding down the field at all times. He has easy, effortless acceleration and speed. Tate pulls away from corners on crossing and vertical routes. He has no issues stacking corners. Tate can threaten a defense at all three levels. Tate is a savvy route runner with an in-depth understanding of how to manipulate corners with a variety of pacing variations in his routes, head fakes, and jab steps. He loses little speed when linking these separation tools together. The snap at the top of his stems is crisp and sudden. Tate’s play strength shows up during routes and at the catch point. He has incredible body control to make difficult catches outside of his frame look easy and routine with arrogant hands. He snags the ball away from his body with a litany of sideline catches. Tate finishes college with a 68.8% contested catch rate and a 4% drop rate (including zero drops in his final season). One area that Tate will have to improve upon in the NFL is consistently beating press coverage. He can get hung up at times with physical corners that can get into his body and stall him. It’s not a consistent issue as he has plenty of high-level reps against press where corners flail as they attempt to slow him down, but it’s worth noting.

4) K.C. Concepcion – WR2

Concepcion has outside/inside versatility. He played in the slot 82.1-92.7% prior to 2025 before transitioning to the perimeter (65.3%) in his final season. Concepcion has the skill set to play either role in the NFL. His speed is immediate and palpable on film (high 4.3/low 4.4 40 speed). Concepcion explodes off the line and can easily stack corners on nine routes. He has good bend in his routes and can change directions without losing speed. Concepcion is a threat at all three levels of a defense. His first step is devastatingly quick, which allows him to earn easy separation on crossers and drag routes. One area that he can improve in his route running is his hip sink and decelerating at the top of his stem. He can be more efficient and sudden at the top of his stem on whip routes and comebacks. He has a varied release package off the line and the upper body strength to handle press. I don’t have any concerns with his ability to separate in the NFL against man and press coverage. Concepcion adds all the little bells and whistles to his routes like jab steps, variations in pacing, head fakes, etc. He sets up corners well and has a strong sense of leverage and route pacing against zone coverage, with the feel of where to sit down in zone. His play strength serves him well during routes and at the catch point. He isn’t knocked off his routes and can play through contact. During his final collegiate season, Concepcion had a 66.7% contested catch rate. He plays bigger than his listed size as a ball winner at the catch point and as a receiver who can make difficult shoestring catches and play above the rim. Concepcion is a YAC threat that can also be utilized in the manufactured touch department and run game. He finished his collegiate career with 431 rushing yards (6.2 yards per carry) while also ranking inside the top 33 in YAC per reception twice in his three collegiate seasons. Drops will be part of the conversation of his eval with a 10.3% drop rate or higher in his final two seasons. I’m not worried about his hands, though. There are far too many occasions in his film where he comes down with an immensely difficult catch, or he secures a pass and immediately is hit and holds onto the ball, that I’m not worried about his hands.

5) Denzel Boston – WR3

Boston is a prototypical tall, long-striding X receiver. His hips are a tad tight, but he compensates with solid footwork, allowing him to gear down and snap off the top of his stem well. His play strength is evident in his routes and at the catch point. Boston can deal with physical corners. It’s tough to push him off his route, and he has the upper body strength necessary to deal with press flashing, strong hand fighting, club, and rip. Boston’s fluidity above the rim is exquisite. His numbers in 2025 could have been even more robust with better quarterback play. Boston has an enormous catch radius with his combination of velcro hands and body control. He made his quarterback right a ton of times when the throw was wrong. Boston is a ball winner at the catch point with at least a 62.8% contested catch rate over the last two seasons. His hands are sound with 4.5% and 3.1% drop rates in that timeframe. Boston should be a red zone threat in the NFL from Day 1. He has numerous high-end reps near the goal line with fade routes on his 2025 film. Boston doesn’t have elite raw speed, but he’s fast enough to get the job done as a field stretcher with his route running, release package, and quick acceleration, giving him the ability to not only win in the short areas of the field but downfield as well. Boston has a varied release package and a good understanding of route adjustment and leverage. He might struggle to stack corners with elite speed, but he can still win at the catch point and with back shoulder targets.

6) Jordyn Tyson – WR4

Tyson looks like he’s gliding across the football field. He has effortless and easy acceleration, explosiveness, and fluidity to his movements. His change of direction without losing speed and snap at the top of his stem is fantastic. Tyson has a long medical track record with a horrible knee injury in 2022 (ACL, MCL, PCL), a broken collarbone in 2024, and a hamstring injury in 2025. I’m not concerned about the knee injury as he has since returned to the field and is three years or so past the injury. The collarbone injury is more of a freak thing than something to obsess over. If we want to knock him down because of the hamstring issue, ok, but I’m not. Tyson plays through contact well in his routes, but that type of play strength doesn’t show up consistently in all facets of his game. Tyson isn’t an elite YAC producer or a catch point dominator. He finishes his collegiate career with only 5.1 yards after the catch per reception over the last four years and 13 missed tackles since 2024. Tyson had only a 43.8% contested catch rate in his final collegiate season. He will win the battle for the ball against some corners, but he has to improve his consistency in this area if he wants to hit the top range of his NFL outcomes. Tyson has the raw ability to be the best wide receiver in this class, but he still has areas of growth that have to happen for that to occur. Tyson excels against off coverage with strong spatial awareness against zone. He has an electric first step off the line, which allows him to gain early separation on drag routes and crossers. Tyson can win all day with hitches, ins, and outs. Tyson needs to continue to hone his footwork with releases and at the top of his stem. There’s too much wasted footwork and TikTok qualities at times. His split release is a perfect example of this, as he has the raw athleticism to get away with some inefficient footwork. Tyson also needs to improve his in-route salesmanship with pacing variations, jab steps, etc. He can telegraph his next movements and breaks at times. This is especially evident with the vertical route tree, as he doesn’t consistently stack defenders. Because of his athleticism, he can, however, snap off a nice double move and get back to top speed quickly. Tyson has a big catch radius. He has plenty of diving and sliding catches on his film as he adjusts to low targets and balls outside of his frame. Tyson can also extend for targets above the rim, where he flashes nice late hands.

7) Makai Lemon – WR5

Lemon will run the majority of his routes from the slot in the NFL, as he did in college (75.6% slot). His perimeter usage could depend on whether he’s closer to the 2024 or 2025 version of his play. In 2024, Lemon was a more explosive player in all facets (off the line, in route, and after the catch). He wasn’t nearly as twitchy in 2025, which could be related to a preseason injury he sustained or possibly adding some weight prior to the 2025 season. We’ll see what version of Lemon we get in the NFL, but if he’s closer to the 2025 version of himself, he could be a slot-confined receiver. Lemon isn’t a burner regardless of which season you’re discussing. He’s more quick than fast, though. He has the quick-twitch/short-area skills to produce with the ball in his hands after the catch. Lemon displays solid contact balance with the ability to break tackles and churn out yards with the ball. He has good vision in traffic as a runner. Lemon is a zone coverage Ginsu knife. He slices through zone with ease, with a firm understanding of finding space and pacing his routes well. Lemon’s snap at the top of his routes can be good, but not amazing at times, which allows corners to undercut his routes. He has to clean up his technique in this area. Lemon’s raw speed and the limitations in this area, and his route running, could limit him as a perimeter receiver and vertical threat. Lemon doesn’t routinely stack defenders with vertical route concepts as he puts the emphasis upon his ability to win with back shoulder throws and at the catch point. Lemon is strong at the catch point with the ability to high point the ball while flashing late hands. He had a 66.7% contested catch rate in 2025. Lemon isn’t a skyscraper, so despite the fact that he is strong at the catch point, his smaller catch radius could make it tough to live in a world in the NFL where he must dominate at the catch point. His hands are like vice grips, though, with a 2.8% drop rate in college (only four in college across 183 targets).

8) Kenyon Sadiq – TE1

Kenyon Sadiq should be a full-time starter for an NFL team from the jump. Not only does he deliver upside as a receiver, but Sadiq is a difference maker as a blocker. Sadiq can hold his area of grass with a strong anchor and high motor. Sadiq was also utilized as an edge-setting blocker and lead option with the running game for the backs and quarterback-designed runs. Sadiq has fluid hips that allow him to uncover at the top of his stems quickly. He has to improve his route running with the footwork at the top of his stems and his salesmanship during his routes. That isn’t to say that Sadiq is a bad route runner. That’s definitely not the case. He has the raw speed to easily pull away from corners during routes and up the seam. He flashes good ball tracking with downfield seam routes and impressive body control in the air. He has the play strength and above-the-rim skills that play well at the catch point and in the red zone. Sadiq’s catch radius is massive, with the skills to adjust to targets thrown low and behind him. He can operate as a dump-and-run option for an NFL passing attack with the ability to create yards after the catch. Sadiq can break tackles in the open field with strong contact balance and a thick lower half, which is great because he isn’t the twitchiest player with the ball in his hands. Sadiq can snap off a decent whip route, but it won’t blow you out of your shoes. The lack of suddenness in some of his change of direction and route running can improve as he hones his skills as a technician. He has the raw athleticism to improve.

9) Omar Cooper Jr. – WR6

Cooper brings inside/outside versatility to the NFL. He was a full-time slot receiver in his final collegiate season after operating as a perimeter option in the two previous seasons. Cooper could easily operate as a 50/50 perimeter/slot receiver in the NFL. He has good burst off the line and impressive footwork and agility in a phone booth. Cooper is an underrated route runner with a strong release package. He can threaten a defense at all three levels with a nuanced understanding of leverage and route salesmanship with jab steps, pacing variations, etc.. Cooper has a firm understanding of how to attack zone coverage with the ability to drop his hips and deaccelerate quickly. He can be utilized downfield with good ball tracking and the ability to stack corners. Cooper has insane body control. His back of the end zone toe tapper versus Penn State last year will populate collegiate highlight reels for years to come. He has the ability to make a quarterback right when their ball placement is off. His catch radius is huge. Cooper has dependable hands. There are plenty of moments on film where he makes difficult snags or hauls in a reception and then immediately absorbs a big hit and manages to hold onto the ball. Cooper had only five drops in college (4.2% drop rate). Cooper can churn out YAC thanks to his tackle-breaking ability and a strong lower half. He can create odd angles for defenders and slip through the creases.

10) Eli Stowers – TE2

The big question for Stowers is how much his blocking will hinder him as a full-time player in the NFL. With the NFL moving toward higher usage of 12/13 personnel, is Stowers a player whose receiving ability forces teams to feature him in an every-down role, or will he be capped as a 50-60% route per dropback player? Stowers can function as a passable inline blocking option currently, but his technique has to improve in the NFL. He won’t be a player that an offensive coordinator is expecting to operate as a pulling or lead blocker in the run game, or someone who is holding a pass rusher at bay for 4-5 seconds on a passing play. Stowers plays through contact during routes well and in contested catch situations. He has smooth hips and change-of-direction ability. He has the speed to threaten a defense down the seam while also flashing good ball tracking. Stowers flashes high-end route-running chops at times, but he has to improve his play-to-play consistency in this realm. With some routes, you’ll see the route nuance with jab steps, taking advantage of a defender’s leverage, and sharp footwork at the top of a stem, but he’ll also string together plays where the salesmanship is lacking and inefficient footwork at the top of his stem, where defenders are in his back pocket. Stowers has to continue to improve his release package, hand-fighting, and route running if he’s going to be an option as a mismatch weapon on the perimeter. He can get open against physical zone coverage when dealing with defenders with built-up steam, but corners pressing him at the line can hang him up. He has the athleticism and play strength to improve in this area, but it’s growth that will need to take place in the NFL to actualize his true ceiling.

11) Mike Washington Jr. – RB2

Washington has a stout, muscular frame. He’s an upright runner with solid contact balance and above-average burst with the long speed to hit a crease and take it to the house. In 2025, he was 12th in runs of 15 yards or more and 17th in breakaway rate. Washington has a starter/three-down skill set. Washington has solid but not outstanding lateral agility. He can make people miss and take advantage of cut-back opportunities with his nimble feet, but his hips are tight, which can limit him at times. Washington runs with power and can lower his shoulder when needed. Washington is a better pass catcher than his yards per route run would suggest. He has a soft set of hands that led to only one drop in his final collegiate season. While he might never be a player that is “featured” in the passing game, he has the necessary skills to operate as a three-down back. Washington is already a solid pass protector. He has the play strength to hold his ground and the foot quickness to adjust to incoming rushers. Over the last two seasons (140 pass blocking snaps), he allowed only one sack and six hurries.

12) Jadarian Price – RB3

Price has easy and immediate acceleration. He doesn’t have a truly elite home run gear, but I won’t be surprised if his runs in the low to mid 4.4s in the 40 with a strong 10-yard split. The strong acceleration makes him appear shot out of a cannon on many runs. He’s a scheme-agnostic runner. Price has the contact balance and lower body strength to handle runs up the A gap while displaying the speed to consistently win the edge with stretch zone plays. Price has an awesome feel for pressing the line and exploding upfield. He can create yards for himself and make defenders look silly when he looks dead to rights with his short-area agility, vision, and decisiveness. Price is an adventure as a pass protector. He has more than a few reps where he was late on blitz pickup. If you’re asking him to redirect incoming rushers or chip a defender, Price looks competent, but tasking him with holding his area of grass and standing up a rusher is more of a tall order. Price has a limited resume as a pass catcher in college with only 18 targets, but when he was asked to catch passes, he displayed soft, dependable hands (zero drops) and looked comfortable doing so. He transitions well from receiver to runner immediately.

13) Elijah Sarratt – WR7

Sarratt has average burst and long speed but a quick first step off the line. It allows him to earn quick separation off the line, but corners can recover during the route with Sarratt lacking the raw speed to maintain his early cushion. Physical corners and ones with speed can hang with him, which is a worry about his separation skills translating to the NFL. Sarratt profiles best as a supporting perimeter possession receiver, or he could move inside as a power slot. He lacks the raw speed to separate consistently with vertical routes, but he has the catch point strength and body control to win at the catch point and with back shoulder throws. His downfield ball tracking is solid. Sarratt finished college with a 60% contested catch rate. His lateral agility at the line and the top of his stems, combined with his size, allows him to win on in-breaking routes. He lacks the short-area burst to be utilized on double moves. Sarratt’s athleticism could cap his ceiling and usage as a player. He’s not a dynamic YAC/RAC threat. He has the upper-body strength to break some tackles, but lacks the immediate burst and speed to offer a ton after the catch. He has 13 missed tackles across his last two collegiate seasons. In his two seasons with Indiana, he had only 4.7 and 5.7 yards after the catch per reception.

14) Ted Hurst – WR8

Hurst has a thin but muscular frame. His play strength is surprising for his frame. He doesn’t get pushed off routes and fits through contact well. Hurst has immediate and fluid speed with easy change of direction. He loses little speed when subtly changing directions mid-route. Hurst has a nice homerun gear in the open field. He’s a refined route runner with a varied release package. Hurst can invite indecision in cornerbacks’ heads as he sets them up and dances in their blind spot. He sells the vertical push well and has solid hip sink and deceleration skills for a player his size. Hurst can play above the rim with good adjustment to back shoulder throws and nice body control in the air. He displays a large catch radius. Hurst displays late hands. His drop rate decreased in every year of college, with a 9% rate in his final season. He’s a ball winner at the catch point with a 61.1% contested catch rate for his collegiate career. 50/50 balls become 60/40 balls for Hurst.

15) Bryce Lance – WR9

Lance is a fluid athlete with smooth hips and lightning-fast speed. He can quickly get up to top gear while also having the skill to stop on a dime and sink his hips on comebacks and curls. He’s deadly on out and ups and double moves. Overall, Lance is a strong route runner who plays through contact. He can gain early separation with a solid release package and the in-route bells and whistles. Lance can telegraph his route breaks at times with exaggerated movements at the top of his stem. He’ll need to continue to clean that up, but it’s not a consistent issue. Lance is an electric field stretcher with solid ball tracking and the body control to adjust to back shoulder targets and sideline catches. Lance is a catch point winner with a 61.5% contested target catch rate. He flashes a soft set of hands with only a 3.8% drop rate, which is even more impressive when you consider the degree of difficulty of his targets. Lance has a 14.1 aDOT in college with 15.5 aDOT in his final season. In 2025, 30.4% of his target volume was 20 yards or more downfield.

16) Chris Brazzell II – WR10

Brazzell isn’t your typical Tennessee wide receiver prospect. He didn’t live in a world overrun by bunch and stacked formations in 2025. He wasn’t gifted free releases and schemed touches all season. That’s where the conversation of him as a prospect needs to start to debunk the worries when people just see Tennessee next to his name. Brazzell is a tall, lightning-fast field stretcher with route-running chops and good ball tracking that we don’t usually see for his size. Brazzell can sink his hips quite well for his size and has fluid change of direction. He can win on the linear/vertical plane, but that’s not all that he brings to the table. He has a strong understanding of leverage and inviting indecision into corners’ heads. He’s a detailed route runner who can dance in a corner’s blind spot and get them to commit to an angle before breaking off his route. Brazzell’s play strength can be an issue against physical corners who can run with him and at the catch point. Just by looking at his size, you’d assume that Brazzell is extremely physical, but it’s not the case. He lets corners into his body far too easily when pressed. He also isn’t a ball winner at the catch point. Many times, 50/50 balls don’t go his way as corners can disrupt him at the catch point. Brazzell finishes college with a 40.8% contested catch rate. Whether his technique needs to be polished and/or the need for more raw strength to be added, he’ll need to address this at the NFL level if he’s going to hit his ceiling as a player. Brazzell could develop into a WR1 for an NFL offense if he continues to hone his game and improve his play strength. Currently, he’s best viewed as a WR2/3 or field-stretching option.

17) Oscar Delp – TE3

Delp is an athletic freak with a 4.49 40-yard dash, a 96th percentile vertical jump, and a 96th percentile broad jump. He’s a fluid athlete whose speed immediately jumps off the film. Delp has the raw speed to house call any screen pass. Delp’s 2025 season was impressive, especially considering that he played the entire year with a hairline fracture in his foot. He didn’t go through combine drills as the fracture was discovered during a routine X-ray leading up to the combine. Delp is a ball of clay that could develop into a top-shelf tight end in the NFL. He’s at his best when operating against zone coverage and as a dump-and-run tight end right now. Delp has to continue to develop his release package and route-running chops if he’s going to hit his ceiling as a player, but he has the raw talent to do so. He was heavily utilized on seam shots, flats, and crossers, which made up 70.3% of his route tree in 2025. Delp can chew up yards after the catch. He ranked tenth and 23rd in yards after the catch per reception over the last two seasons. He’s not a tackle-breaking behemoth, but that’s not to say he could develop into a better one with his athletic traits. Delp forced only nine missed tackles in college (94 targets). Delp relies upon his immediate and lightning-quick speed to produce YAC at this juncture. Delp could easily put on another 10 lbs to his frame and likely not compromise his speed and fluidity. He displays good body control in the air with fluid hips to adjust to targets behind him and easily convert into a runner without losing a beat. Delp also has to clean up his blocking technique. He has a solid first punch but doesn’t sustain his blocks. He has the lateral agility and lower body strength to recover during the play when initially beaten. He has the physical talent to become at least a league-average blocker. I will say, though, he is more consistent as a run blocker. He can displace defenders when needed, but during many reps, he’s simply locking down his patch of grass.

18) Jonah Coleman – RB4

Coleman has underrated power for his stature. He has average burst and pin balls off incoming defenders. His strong lower half serves him well as an interior runner. Coleman has good vision with plus short-area agility as he weaves through the second level of a defense with solid finishing power. Coleman is a one-speed runner who gets up to top gear quickly, but he lacks a home run gear. He could easily be a solid chunk gain author in the NFL, but the 60-yard knockout punches likely won’t be there. His vision and agility in a phone booth are how he wins with the ball in his hands. Coleman has some WOW moments on film in pass pro. He can anchor well with a solid base and has picked up some defenders off the ground in pass pro. Coleman will be a quarterback’s best friend in the NFL with his pass-pro skills. Across 278 collegiate pass pro snaps, he allowed only three sacks (one in his final three seasons) and nine hurries. He’s a trusted receiving option in the passing game with only one drop in college. He finished top 24 in yards per route run in two of his last three seasons (minimum 20 targets). Coleman was proficient with a diet of flat routes and swing passes. He could expand his route tree in the NFL and become more of a weapon through the air, but his long speed limitations will probably cap his ceiling.

19) Emmett Johnson – RB5

Johnson runs with an infectious energy with every carry. He gets up to top speed quickly with immediate acceleration, but he isn’t a burner. Johnson can author chunk plays, but I doubt he’ll have many 70-yard home runs in the NFL. He wins with vision, acceleration, and lateral agility. Johnson has displayed the ability to handle volume and be a workhorse. In his final collegiate season, in 83% of his games, he had at least 19 touches. Johnson’s superpower is his footwork and short-area agility. He’s a short area assassin with the ability to change directions on a dime and the feet to create yards on his own. Johnson runs like he chugs 12 Monster and cheeks four Zyns weekly pregame. He can juke defenders out of their shoes while also having the contact balance to pinball off would-be tacklers. Johnson HAS TO improve his pass blocking to be trusted on passing downs. His lower body strength and ability to anchor are a problem. He’ll get blown out of his cleats at times by rushers. With 125 collegiate pass blocking snaps, he allowed 15 pressures. He can redirect rushers on occasion and chip them, but at this stage, it’s asking too much of him to hold his ground or bury a guy in the dirt. Johnson is a pass game weapon. He lined up in the slot or out wide with 18% of his snaps in 2025. He was deployed in 2025 with a smattering of screens, angle routes, and wheel routes with success. His short-area abilities translate well to his route running.

20) Eric McAlister – WR11

We have to talk about injuries and off-the-field stuff here. There’s no avoiding it. In March of 2024, McAlister was arrested for aggravated assault after threatening someone with a gun. From the injury standpoint, in 2025, he dealt with a hamstring injury. In 2026, he had a knee scope (January), and in March, he sustained a Jones fracture in his foot while participating in his pro day workout. McAlister is a build-up speed receiver (4.56 40 time at pro day) who can look lumbering off the line at times. It’s not a consistent problem with his immediate acceleration. He has solid upper-body strength to fight through physical coverage and negotiate press coverage. McAlister has a varied release package while highlighting his strong split release. He doesn’t sink his hips at an outstanding level, but that is something that is common with bigger receivers. He does make up for this with strong footwork, which allows him to be passable on comebacks and curls. McAlister is a threat at all three levels of the field. He can handle the full route tree. He dominates on in-breaking routes (slants) with a quick first step and good use of his body to win these routes. He might lack the high-end acceleration off the line to consistently stack corners on vertical routes, but he has excellent ball tracking as he makes downfield targets look easy to haul in. McAlister has the size to be a red zone threat, but that will have to come via screens and crossers and not jump ball situations or fade routes. McAlister isn’t a catch point winner at this stage, with only a 38.4% contested catch rate over the last two years. He’s an excellent YAC/RAC threat with a strong lower half to break tackles and the strength to run through loose wraps after he builds up a head of steam while also deploying a deadly spin move. His final season missed tackles forced numbers do need some context, though. He piled up 11 of those 27 missed tackles forced against SMU and Iowa State. Those two programs couldn’t tackle a player in the open field to save their lives. I’m not stating this to shade his numbers, but to illustrate how they can be somewhat faulty despite the fact that he is a strong YAC producer. McAlister’s hands can be iffy at times. He has plenty of concentration drops on film and an 8.7% drop rate in college, but he also displays late and arrogant hands with some reps. Overall, I think he can clean up the drop issues over time.

21) Cole Payton – QB2

Payton’s dual-threat ability jumps off the film immediately. Payton has 4.6 speed and the ability to make defenders miss. Payton is built like an athletic tight end, and he’s a load to bring down in the open field. He’s not the twitchiest rusher, but he can plant his foot and avoid tacklers when needed. His size/speed combo is EXTREMELY interesting. In his final collegiate season, he had 120 rushing attempts, 894 rushing yards, and 13 rushing scores. The North Dakota State passing offense was built around Payton’s mobility with plenty of RPO action and bootlegs. Payton will have a sizable learning curve with an NFL offense, but there are also moments in his collegiate offense that offer hope that the transition won’t be as hard as it seems. He wasn’t asked to regularly make full field reads, but there are moments where he did and quickly moved to his third and fourth option in a progression. Payton is a “see it, throw it” quarterback, but he also has some anticipatory passing moments. The passing offense was also shotgun-based, so under-center work will be a hurdle, but that’s also the case for many college quarterbacks these days. Payton has a cannon for an arm. He has easy flip of the wrist velocity and the strength to drive the ball downfield. He exhibits touch when layering second-level throws and precision when ripping deep outs. He can place the ball accurately to all three levels. Payton has an NFL arm in terms of strength and touch. Payton will have an adjustment with the speed of the NFL game and the throwing lanes. There are plenty of examples of him hanging on his first read and waiting for them to uncover and break wide open. He’ll have to pull the trigger earlier in the NFL or find comfort with more tight windows. Payton has a gunslinger mentality, which can work in his favor, but with the sizable jump in competition, the early days in the NFL for him could be rocky as he adjusts. There are some plays where he flees a clean pocket to make a play with his legs. His margin for error and the ability to pull a rabbit out of his hat in the NFL will be decreased. He’ll have to recalibrate some.

22) Chris Bell – WR12

Bell was a perimeter wide receiver throughout his collegiate career (91.2% out wide). He’s a muscular wide receiver with a compact build who profiles as a chain-moving possession receiver who can provide some juice after the catch. Bell was an underneath threat in 2025 with a 9.4 aDOT. He was fed a STEADY diet of horizontal routes (drag, slant, etc). 63.2% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. Bell does a good job of using his strength and quick first step off the line to win with those route types. Bell’s hips are stiff as he isn’t the most fluid receiver when he’s asked to sink his hips and throttle down quickly. His steps get choppy, and it’s not a fluid process. This explains why he was deployed in the way that he was in 2025 by Louisville. I’m enamored with the idea of Bell turning into a power slot with his skillset. He utilizes his muscular build well after the catch. Bell had 20 missed tackles forced over the last two seasons. He also logged two seasons with at least 7.2 yards after the catch per reception. Bell moves like a running back with the ball in his hands. He’s quick and decisive with the ball in his hands, but he also has the patience to allow his blocks to develop and create running lanes.

23) Kevin Coleman Jr. – WR13

Coleman Jr. is a zone-destroying specialist from the slot who also adds an element of verticality to a passing attack. His speed and burst are immediate and palpable when turning on the film. Coleman offers toughness and YAC ability with not only his speed but also his underrated tackle-breaking ability. Over the last two seasons, he ranked 17th and fifth among wide receivers in missed tackles forced. Coleman has good vision in traffic and looks like a running back with the ball in his hands, bouncing off defenders. Coleman can destroy corners underneath with slants and outs while also stretching the field with slot fades, etc. He has good snap at the top of his stems and can change direction without losing much speed. He displays solid ball tracking downfield. With his smaller frame, Coleman has a smaller catch radius. His hands aren’t a concern, though, with only a 3.4% drop rate in college. He does display strength at the catch point when presented with muddy situations, with a 53.7% collegiate contested catch rate.

24) Skyler Bell – WR14

Bell has quick and immediate acceleration (65th percentile 10-yard split). He can quickly decelerate and get back up to top speed with smooth double moves. He can churn out YAC for a passing game, as evidenced by his 8.2 yards after the catch per reception in 2025. He has the upper-body strength and lateral agility to make defenders miss in space (26 missed tackles forced over the last two years). Bell needs to improve the efficiency of his releases and footwork off the line. He can take a second to launch into his route. In the NFL, this hesitation/exaggerated footwork will leave him a tick behind with some plays. The needed refinement in his releases and expansion as a route runner shows up when he’s asked to win vertically. Corners have no issue sticking with him as he doesn’t consistently stack defenders. There’s also limited exposure from the games I watched of him as a vertical element in a passing game. In 2025, he had only 17% of his target volume come via deep targets. I wouldn’t be shocked if Bell is moved to the slot in the NFL (61.1-69.2% on the perimeter over the last two years). Bell faced a ton of off coverage with free releases at the line. UConn also utilized him with plenty of bunch formations and on screens (28.3% of his target volume in 2025). Ball excels versus zone coverage, but I have questions about how he’ll fare against man and press situations.

25) Garrett Nussmeier – QB3

2024: Nussmeier has easy velocity and arm strength. He can make every NFL throw. Nussmeier can layer second-level throws and has plenty of tight-window dots littering his film. His deep ball accuracy can be variable, but when he was locked in, his highlight throws were impressive. His accuracy on the move can be spotty, but when he has a clean pocket, he can also be surgical. He can throw from multiple arm angles depending upon the play and route depth. Nussmeier moves through progressions quickly. It’s nothing to see him get to his second and third reads. He throws with anticipation and will routinely get the ball out before a wide receiver is out of their break. His pocket awareness overall was solid, but there are times when he was late to feel the rush and adjust to the pressure by climbing the pocket or escaping.

2025: Nussmeier suffered an abdominal injury in the preseason practices, which seemed to impact his ability to torque his midsection. There are too many instances where he looks like a stiff statue in the pocket and is throwing with all arm while not following through on throws or driving the ball. It impacted his accuracy and the zip on the ball. Nussmeier also dealt with patellar tendonitis and an ankle sprain. The patellar tendonitis was related to Osgood-Shlatter disease, and it could lead to chronic knee issues. This can’t be ruled out with his 2025 passing struggles, as he looked like a shell of the quarterback I saw on film in 2024. Nussmeier retained easy and repeatable arm mechanics with a quick release. His accuracy was spotty, and his ball placement suffered. A consistent problem in 2025 was his red zone field vision. He would simply miss defenders trailing or sitting on routes in the middle of the field in zone coverage, which led to easy interceptions for defenses. From 2024 to 2025, the worries also showed up in his analytics. His deep ball rate dropped from 16.4% to 10.4%. His screen rate increased from 12.3% to 20% as the offense relied upon more quick hitters and screens, with his arm strength becoming variable. His play-action rate also dipped from 27.1% to 22.6%. If Nussmeier can recapture his 2024 form, he could develop into a solid NFL starter, but I worry that his medical issues might make that impossible.”

26) Ty Simpson – QB4

Simpson has the arm strength to make every throw required of an NFL quarterback. His ball placement and accuracy are erratic. Simpson will be locked in for a few throws and then sail or dirt an easy checkdown or toss a pass behind a receiver on a crossing route. His accuracy also suffers when he’s on the move. With his accuracy issues on the move and his statue-esque mobility, Simpson isn’t an off-script artist. He’s at his best when he can hit his three or five-step drop and fire the ball to a receiver when the back foot hits the ground. Many of Simpson’s second-level throws are on a line. He’ll need to improve with layering his passes to the second-level. There are some examples of this on film, but it’s not done with nearly enough regularity. Simpson will get stuck in his progressions. He’ll hang on his first read too long, way too often. He’ll miss wide receivers running wide open that are later in the progression. Simpson feels a tick behind on many plays because of his propensity to linger on his first read, but also because he operates as an extreme “see it throw it” quarterback. Receivers will snap off the top of their stem and flash open, and Simpson will then fire the ball in their direction. This won’t do on any level in the NFL with both of these tendencies holding him back. This will become even more pronounced with the speed and spacing of the NFL game. Simpson’s play against pressure is variable. He’ll step up in the pocket with composure at times or hang in the pocket and deliver an accurate ball when absorbing a big hit, but he also has concerning plays. Simpson will get happy feet versus pressure and bail workable pockets or rush his mechanics. He’ll need to become more of a steadying presence versus pressure to make it in the NFL with his lack of off-script artistry. Butter fingers impacted Simpson’s counting stats from his receiver depth chart last season. He dealt with the third-most drops among FBS signal callers (8.9% drop rate, 35th per PFF).

27) Ja’Kobi Lane – WR15

Lane is an athletic, tall drink of water. He can get downfield with deep buildup speed and strong ball tracking skills. Lane flashes body control in the air and the ability to adjust on the fly to back shoulder targets. Lane has a strong understanding of route running with plenty of bells and whistles to get open. He will add jab steps and small intricacies without losing much speed in the route. Lane displays a firm understanding of leverage and when to time his route breaks with the corner’s hips. Lane can’t stop on a dime, but he has adequate deceleration skills for his size when running comebacks and stop routes. He’ll need to continue to improve his ability to sink his hips if he wants to be tasked with a full route tree in the NFL and not just pigeon-holed as a deep threat. Lane isn’t offering much after the catch unless he slips a tackle or sees a busted coverage. He did manage 18 missed tackles over the last two collegiate seasons. His upper body strength allows him to win 50/50 balls. His hands need to improve to turn those into 60/40 balls (8.6% drop rate over the last two seasons).

28) Malachi Fields – WR16

Fields is a high-cut, long-striding build-up speed deep threat option for an NFL offense that relies upon his size and physicality at the catch point. Fields has a large catch radius with the ability to sky for above-the-rim targets. He displays strong body control in the air, adjusting to back shoulder throws. Fields does use his size effectively on in-breaking routes in the short and intermediate areas of the field. He has a strong understanding of exploiting a cornerback’s leverage and how to pace his routes against zone coverage. He does display solid ball tracking on downfield routes. He has to continue to add to his release package and improve his footwork at the top of his stem. Fields will lag on the line at times with some “TikTok” footwork before launching into his route stem. His change of direction with getting out of his route breaks can look clunky at times and lacks suddenness. Fields isn’t a dynamic threat after the catch. He had only 4.7 yards after the catch per reception in college and only exceeded 5.3 yards after the catch per reception once in his five-year collegiate career. He averaged nine missed tackles per season across his final three collegiate seasons.

29) Eric Rivers – WR17

Rivers was a “true” perimeter wide receiver in 2025 (72.7% out wide). Rivers has the release package and route-running chops to operate on the outside. He exhibits efficient footwork off the line and at the top of his stem. Rivers shows off a firm understanding of how to set up corners dancing in their blind spot at times or timing his route break with a corner’s hip flip. Rivers has elite speed. He hits the accelerator and goes. Rivers subtly changes direction in his routes and loses little speed when doing so. Georgia Tech utilized him plenty on deep overs where he could simply run away from defenders. Rivers’ ball tracking is strong. Rivers can win downfield, but he wasn’t just a deep threat in 2025. Only 22.7% of his target volume was via deep targets. Rivers has a small catch radius considering his frame, but he also doesn’t flash the in-the-air body control to snag a ton of targets outside of his body. His size also shows up at the catch point as he’s not winning many 50/50 battles for the ball. Rivers is a scrappy player. He negotiates physical coverage well when presented with it, which wasn’t much, given the nature of college football, but also the inability of corners to get their hands on him.

30) Eli Raridon – TE4

Raridon’s medicals will lead many conversations. He has torn his right ACL twice (2021, 2022). The knee was sound this season as he was immensely productive and tested well. He has a 4.62 40-yard dash time with an 81st percentile vertical jump and an 88th percentile broad jump. Raridon has immediate juice with the ball in his hands. He isn’t a monstrous tackle breaker, but he can slip the loose wrap or run through a player attacking at an off-angle. He does have the ability to create with his lateral agility in space to earn a few more yards. His footwork and suddenness in his route breaks need to continue to improve. He can operate well right now against zone coverage, but he needs to improve his route nuance and in-route footwork if he wants to hit his ceiling in the NFL. Raridon can get deep with seam shots (13% go in 2025) and the occasional post (5.2% of his routes in 2025). He displays good ball tracking. Raridon has fluid body control and play strength at the catch point. With only nine contested targets in college, he secured 66.7% of them. He works through physical coverage well with good late separation. His play strength shows up in his blocking. He holds up well in pass pro, sustaining his blocks well. He will occasionally drive a defender into the dirt. He’s tenacious. Raridon looks comfortable climbing into the second level when uncovered.

31) Dae’Quan Wright – TE5

Wright has nice buildup speed, likely in the 4.5/4.6 40-yard dash range. He displays a nice second gear that he can hit in the open field. He has the speed and ball tracking to be a consistent seam threat in the NFL. His hips are a little tight, so we won’t see a ton of twitch with the ball in his hands, but he is a linearly explosive athlete. His athletic limitations pop up at the catch point with his body control and adjusting to targets outside of his frame at times or with contested situations (26.7% contested catch rate in college). He has a thick, muscular frame that can break some tackles in the open field. He has a wonderful combination of speed, play strength, and nastiness. He’s a tank in the open field. Wright has ranked in the top 16 in YAC per reception in three of the last four collegiate seasons. In 2023, he was seventh among tight ends in missed tackles forced. Wright is a nice dump-and-run option to churn out easy yards in the passing game. He also had a varied route tree, hitting 14% or higher marks of his overall route tree with go routes (14.7%), out routes (14%), hitch routes (17.3%), and crossing routes (25%). Wright needs to improve his hip sink with comebacks and curls if he’s going to expand his route tree further. Wright shouldn’t be counted on as a league-average blocker entering the NFL. He’ll duck his head at times. He can get rag-dolled at times in pass pro. He is passable in chipping or combo block situations in the run game.

32) Antonio Williams – WR18

Williams will be a slot-confined player in the NFL. Clemson had a brief dalliance with him as a perimeter wide receiver, but even when he lined up on the perimeter in many cases, it wasn’t true perimeter wide receiver play. After Week 8 in 2024, Williams was a full-time slot (93% slot in 2025). When he was on the outside in 2024, he was utilized in bunch formations, in motion, and schemed open with the offensive concepts. Williams has a lightning-quick first step off the line with crossing routes and at the top of his stem with in and out breaking routes. It allows him to earn easy separation as an underneath/zone beating receiving option. He can telegraph his breaks at times with comebacks and curls, allowing corners to drive on these routes. Williams will need to improve his pad level through routes and his salesmanship. Williams needs to improve the consistency with his releases. At times, he can get TikTok-y while flashing efficient movements with other reps. Williams has a dependable set of soft hands with a 4.5% or lower drop rate in three of his four collegiate seasons. He plucks the ball out of the air and away from his frame. He doesn’t have the high-end body control to make the highlight reel catches outside of his frame, which constricts his catch radius. He can be an asset in the run game. He was utilized on pitches and jet sweeps at Clemson and was productive with this usage, with 179 rushing yards over his final two seasons (8.9 yards per carry). Williams can also produce YAC with his speed and open field vision, but don’t expect him to be a tackle-breaking machine in the NFL.

33) Seth McGowan – RB6

Downhill physical runner. McGowan runs like he’s mad at the ground. McGowan has no issues running through someone. He’s a linear, one-cut runner. Solid feel for how to press the line and access cut-back lanes. McGowan does offer some second-level creativity with his lateral agility and the ability to create more yards in space. McGowan isn’t a burner, but he does have enough raw speed to gain the edge with stretch zone plays consistently. He’s not a home run hitter with only 24 runs of at least 15 yards in his collegiate career (378 carries). I usually don’t discuss off-field issues unless they are extremely noteworthy here, which is the case for McGowan. He was dismissed from Oklahoma after being found guilty of larceny (one year probation). McGowan is a feisty pass protector. His technique needs work to become a solid option in this department in the NFL, but the effort is there. There are numerous reps where he holds his ground and regains his footing against an incoming defender with a strong second effort. He’ll drop his eyes and lunge at defenders at times. McGowan is a decent check-down option in the passing game with 1.56 collegiate yards per route run. Despite his five drops in his final season, he offers a dependable set of soft hands out of the backfield.

34) Nicholas Singleton – RB7

Singleton can be tentative at the line at times. He’ll operate in a gap scheme more efficiently with clear running lanes with the play design (53% gap runs over his final two collegiate seasons). His vision isn’t horrible down-to-down, but it’s an area that could use some cleaning up. Singleton is a linear player who isn’t a violent or explosive mover when changing directions. His steps can get choppy at times as he loses speed in the process. Singleton isn’t a player who will juke you out of your socks. He’s a runner that isn’t going to create a ton of yards on his own. Singleton is a high-cut runner with the necessary upper-body strength to break loose wraps and tacklers that attack him high. The other side of the coin is also true, though. Singleton can be chopped down by tacklers aiming at his waist and below. Singleton has solid pass-pro skills. He works with a strong base. Singleton has plenty of reps where he stands up incoming rushers or redirects them out of the quarterback’s wheelhouse. With 173 collegiate pass blocking snaps, he allowed only three sacks and ten hurries. Singleton is an adequate check-down option in the passing game. He finished top 24 in yards per route run among backs in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He lacks the change of direction ability and explosive short area agility to become a true pass game weapon with a varied route tree, but he should easily be a trusted option with swings and flat routes. Singleton cleaned up drops in his final season with only one after posting a 7.1% or higher drop rate in each of the previous three seasons.

35) Kaytron Allen – RB8

Allen is built like a bowling ball. He has a low center of gravity, which helps him make a difficult wrap for defenders at times. He’s able to keep his legs churning and run through half-hearted tackling attempts. Allen is a patient back that allows his blockers to clear the road before he charges down it. Allen’s burst and raw speed are below-average. He’s at his best when getting downhill immediately and getting a head of steam built up. His lateral agility is lacking at times, so asking him to operate in a stretch zone-based scheme wouldn’t be ideal. With his limited athletic profile, Allen is a capped passing game option, but he can still operate as a valuable checkdown option. His route deployment will be limited, but he has soft hands with only one drop in his final season. His stature helps him in pass protection with a solid anchor. He can hold his own with incoming rushers bearing down, but speed rushers can give him issues. With his limited lateral agility, speed options can easily bypass him as they barrel toward the quarterback. Allen isn’t a make-you-miss type of back, but he can deploy a well-timed jump cut at times to get the job done. He’ll be heavily dependent upon his offensive line at the next level because he won’t be creating a ton of yards on his own (especially near the line of scrimmage).

36) Max Klare – TE6

Klare can operate as a dump-and-run option for a passing attack. He isn’t a missed tackles forced maven, but he can power through weak wraps and create off-angle attempts. Klare can throttle down and sink his hips with comebacks and curls. I don’t know if he has the upside to become the number two option in an NFL passing attack, but he could easily function as a solid number three or stellar fourth. Klare has fluid movement skills with good change of direction and the raw speed to threaten down the seam when he’s asked to do so. He flashes solid body control with targets outside of his frame and can win the catch point battle with a 57.9% contested catch rate in college. Klare’s best work is against zone coverage. He was utilized heavily as an underneath receiving option with 57.8% of his routes being hitches, flats, or crossers. 69.1% of his targets game within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. He struggles with physicality in his routes. Physical defenders who can run with him can present a problem. He lacks the extra juice or route nuance to shake free from physical coverage. Klare is a competent blocker. He was utilized as a puller by Ohio State, which wasn’t amazing in many spots, but he has the functional play strength to do so. He doesn’t play with consistent pad level with blocking, though. Defenders can get the best of him at times and upend him.

37) Cade Klubnik – QB5

Klubnik can make plays with his legs. The speed and rushing ability show up immediately. Klubnik has a good feel for setting up defenders in the open field and following his blocks. If he can secure a starting job in the NFL, I wouldn’t be shocked if he churns out 400-500 rushing yards yearly. He has an easy delivery with compact mechanics, a quick release, the ability to throw from multiple arm angles, and the arm strength to make every NFL throw. When Klubnik is dialed in, he can put some pretty throws on film. He can layer the ball nicely to the second-level. His deep ball is quite good, but at times, he needs to put some more air under it to allow his receivers to adjust and run under these deep targets. Klubnik has plenty of reps as an anticipatory passer, especially with sideline comeback routes. Klubnik will attempt some ill-advised throws at times with multiple defenders in the vicinity of his target, but he has the arm talent to pull them off. Yes, the results could be disastrous, but he has the arm talent to pull it out with nice touch, layering, and sick ball placement. This could easily burn him in the NFL until he has a good grasp on the aggressiveness knob. From 2024 to 2025, Clemson put more on his plate. In 2024, Klubnik operated with a heavy diet of first read, checkdown, or utilize your legs play designs. In 2025, he was tasked with half and full field reads, and the results were uneven. At times, Klubnik would operate with good pace and move from his first to second read and so forth, but there were also plenty of plays where he would lock on his first read for too long or move off it too quickly. His trigger is inconsistent. His field vision can be erratic at times, where he’s simply not seeing options running wide open. There are plenty of plays in 2025 where he operates at a high level to think that he can eventually even this all out, but it’s a projection, and there’s uncertainty with this part of his game, especially when transitioning to the NFL, where things will be faster and more complex on a number of levels. Klubnik has solid pocket presence. He’ll stand tall versus the rush and deliver accurate passes. Klubnik can be cool and collected, delivering accurate passes from collapsing pockets. There are also a number of times where he’ll hold the ball for too long as he’s big play hunting or locked onto one option, but he also has some nice off-script moments. His accuracy doesn’t suffer much from throwing on the move. If Klubnik can put it all together, he has the raw talent to develop into a league-average or above-average starter.

38) Carson Beck – QB6

Beck’s experience shows up consistently. With five years of collegiate starting experience under his belt, he is strong moving through progressions. He can quickly move from his first to second read and beyond, and flips to his checkdown quickly when necessary. Beck is a rhythm passer with the arm strength to access all three levels of the field. He’s at his best when he’s peppering the short and intermediate with accurate darts. He can layer a second-level throw quite well. Beck’s deep ball can be variable, with some lacking arch for receivers to run under or being short-armed, and receivers are left waiting on it. Beck has a quick release and easy, repeatable mechanics. When he’s locked in, Beck can toss some nice throws downfield, though. He needs to improve the consistency of his deep ball. The biggest worry with Beck is his moxy. He has no fear of ripping some questionable throws into tight windows. At times, these throws can be worrisome considering his arm talent, but I appreciate his willingness to push the envelope. He’ll have to recalibrate this aggression once in the NFL and relearn what he can get away with. Beck’s aggressive nature as a passer will also leave him willing to make some throws that can put his receivers in harm’s way. Beck will thread the needle at times into congested areas of the field with multiple defenders bearing down, only for his receiver to be led into traffic, absorbing a big hit. He’s a pocket passer that won’t add much with his legs to an NFL offense. Beck finished college without surpassing 200 rushing yards in any collegiate season.

39) Zachariah Branch – WR19

Branch is a manufactured touch and an underneath target option for an NFL offense. He finishes college with a 5.2 aDOT (3.6 in 2025) and a 77.9% slot rate. Branch has a compact, muscular build that lends itself to after-the-catch production. In 2025, 77.4% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. 49.4% of his target volume was via screens as he ranked second in screens among all FBS wide receivers. Branch has immediate and palpable speed. He looks shot out of a cannon as soon as the ball is in his hands. In 2025, he ranked 16th in yards after the catch per reception (ninth in 2024) and 12th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Branch has the raw speed and after the catch ability to take any low aDOT target to the house. Branch has underrated route-running chops when he was able to flash them in 2025. He sets up corners well with subtle jab steps while displaying a solid grasp of manipulating a corner’s leverage. There is upside here that he could be a more diverse player than his collegiate usage foretells. It’s just a projection, though. Many times, NFL teams don’t draft players of this archetype for who they can become, but target them for who they are, what they bring to the table skillset-wise as a prospect.

40) Brenen Thompson – WR20

Elite speed. Thompson can hit the gas and run by corners. He has electric acceleration and regains top speed effortlessly as a double move demon. Thompson has crisp footwork and route running, but if physical corners can run with him and get their hands on him, it’s not tough to press him into oblivion. Thompson has a quick gear down on comebacks with the added advantage of an extra cushion. Corners will play off him more as they protect against his speed and getting burned downfield. Thompson can track deep balls with the best of them. I don’t foresee him being a high-volume receiver in the NFL because of his size, but he can easily be a situational deep threat with some manufactured touch usage. Last year, 29.9% of his target volume came via deep targets, and 45.3% of his receiving yardage was from deep passing (five of his six touchdowns). Thompson can break a defense with his speed and vision in the open field, but he won’t offer much YAC if a defender can get their hands on him. He is brought down easily once contacted. With his size, he absorbs some massive hits.

41) Germie Bernard – WR21

Bernard has played on the perimeter and in the slot during his collegiate career. In his final collegiate season, he ran 62.2% of his routes from the perimeter. Bernard will likely see a move back to the slot in the NFL. He has a strong understanding of attacking zone coverage and route pacing, with the knack of finding the holes in zone. Bernard’s raw speed is lacking. He doesn’t have the raw juice to threaten NFL corners as a downfield receiver. He lacks explosive movements off the line at the top of his route stem. He gains late separation in his routes and can fight through physical corners with his solid upper body strength. Bernard also displays a decent understanding of leverage and setting up corners. Unfortunately, it won’t get him far in the NFL with his athleticism limitations. He’s able to make some things happen with the ball in his hands thanks to his upper body strength and his tackle-breaking ability. Bernard ranked 21st among wide receivers in 2025 in missed tackles forced. Bernard has a dependable set of hands with only a 2.5% drop rate in college and one drop in his final season.

42) Dean Connors – RB9

Connors is a solid all-around back who should settle in as an RB2/passing down back for an NFL team. He finishes runs well with plus leg drive as he grinds out extra yards. He’s not an explosive runner, but he can pick up tough yards. Connors has average contact balance and burst. He doesn’t have stellar long speed and gets caught from behind with runs, but he plays with max effort and has no issues lowering his shoulder to make defenders pay. Conners is solid in pass pro. He can quickly diagnose his assignment and attacks incoming defenders with a solid base. Connors can anchor and hold his own while displaying good lateral agility to maneuver into position to meet defenders head-on. Connors is a trusted check-down option in the passing game. He finishes with an overall 14.4% collegiate target share and 1.43 yards per route run or higher in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He had only one drop in his final season.

43) Kaelon Black – RB10

Black is a runway back that wins with speed, acceleration, and vision. He isn’t a powerful back capable of pushing the pile or stiff-arming defenders into the dirt. Black has the raw speed to hit a crease and take it the distance. He can get into trouble quickly in the backfield if contacted early in a play. Black isn’t a contact balance champ. He can be brought down with sufficient tackling technique. He’s a linear runner without a ton of wiggle. Black can make defenders pay in the second-level, though, with a full head of steam as he’ll run through some weak wraps or poor angles. Black was used sparingly as a receiver at Indiana, with only 12 targets in two seasons (48 receiving yards). He was decent (at best) in pass pro. He had only 64 pass blocking snaps over the last two years, in which he allowed three pressures and a sack.

44) Jack Endries – TE7

Endries departed the Shrine Bowl with an undisclosed “minor” injury. He also dealt with some undisclosed injuries during the 2025 season, from what I can gather. Endries was mainly an underneath option with a more limited route tree. In 2025, 68.9% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. 48.9% of his routes in 2025 were flats, crossers, or screens. He can be a safe, dependable zone coverage option for a passing offense. He gets up to top speed quickly with average long speed (4.62 40-yard dash). He’s not an explosive area mover, though. He had 57th percentile or lower marks in the shuttle and 3 cone. Endries flashes fluid hips up the seam. He can adjust to targets behind him and instantly turn back into a RAC threat. He doesn’t have the strength or raw speed to be a massive YAC threat. Endries finishes college with only 13 missed tackles forced (124 receptions) and 5.3 yards after the catch per reception. Endries has solid hands with only one drop over his final two collegiate seasons and a 59.4% contested catch rate. His play strength shows up at the catch point more than with the ball in his hands. He made a nice contested catch in 2025 against Caleb Downs. Endries is a passable blocker at best. He’s not an explosive people mover, but he can redirect traffic in a pinch. He doesn’t seem to have that tenacity to put a defender in the dirt.

45) Tanner Koziol – TE8

Koziol is a tall drink of water. His thinner frame doesn’t impact him from a physicality standpoint. He’s a dependable blocker in both the run and passing games. Koziol can set the edge, operate as a lead pulling blocker, and hold up with strong hands and good anchor in pass protection. Koziol has smooth hips and good bend in his routes. He uncovers quickly and is physical through his routes. He has soft, dependable hands and is a ball winner at the catch point. He concludes college with a 2.6% drop rate in his final season and a 61.3% contested catch rate overall. His biggest limiting factor as a player, as far as ceiling goes, is that he isn’t an explosive mover. He doesn’t have the raw speed or explosive lateral agility to line up on the perimeter or be asked to operate as a man coverage beater. He’ll be at his best against zone coverage and linebackers/nickels in coverage. Koziol isn’t a rugged RAC player. He can generate YAC, but his lanky size allows him to get cut down by defenders easily. He forced only two missed tackles in his final collegiate season.

46) Haynes King – QB7

King has the speed to continue to be a rushing threat in the NFL. His dual-threat ability is enticing. With his 4.46 40-yard dash speed, he averaged 143.3 carries and 759 rushing yards over the last three collegiate seasons. King isn’t a twitchy runner in the open field or a tackle-breaking monster, but he has good patience and vision that mesh well with his raw speed. King doesn’t have a cannon for an arm, but he has enough arm strength to make every necessary throw. He plays point guard well, peppering the short and intermediate with accuracy and touch. He can layer throws to the second level while displaying solid ball placement on crossers. His deep ball can be variable at times. King can struggle with consistency pushing the ball downfield with placement and touch. King has a quick release and can throw from multiple arm angles. He does a good job of working through progressions at times, but there are also plays where he will lock onto his first read for too long. King has solid pocket presence but can bail clean pockets occasionally. He can make plays off-script, but that’s not where he consistently thrives.

47) Taylen Green – QB8

Dual threat quarterback with elite size and athleticism. Green has easy speed and is a weapon in the run game with the ability to create chunk plays with his legs. He has the arm strength to make every throw, but his ball placement is inconsistent. Green can struggle with accuracy, especially when throwing on the move or under pressure. He has flashes of high-level play where he strings together reads and delivers accurate passes, but consistency remains a major issue. His mechanics can break down, leading to erratic throws. Green has to improve his timing and anticipation as a passer to succeed at the next level. He can extend plays and create off-script, but he often relies too heavily on his athleticism rather than operating within structure. His ceiling is high due to his physical tools, but he will require development.

48) Joe Royer – TE9

Royer didn’t have massive production in college, but the flashes are intriguing. He has solid size and movement skills for the position. Royer can operate as an underneath option with reliable hands and the ability to secure targets in traffic. He shows flashes of body control adjusting to off-target throws. Royer isn’t an explosive athlete, but he can generate modest yards after the catch. His route tree was somewhat limited, and he will need to expand that at the next level. Royer is a willing blocker, but his technique and consistency need improvement. He can hold his own in certain situations but won’t be a dominant in-line presence early in his career.

49) Harrison Wallace III – WR22

Wallace doesn’t have elite speed, but he has plenty of raw speed to operate as a weapon after the catch and stretch the field when called upon. His lack of elite speed can show up in his route running from time to time, where his footwork can be inefficient and leave him a tick behind on a timing throw/route. Wallace has some serious route-running chops with savvy route depth adjustments depending upon the zone coverage. He sets up corners with jab steps, pacing variations, and the headiness to set up corners throughout a game like a chess match. He has superb play strength, and it shows up in his game as he plays with a chip on his shoulder. Wallace finished college with a 52.8% contested catch rate. His strong hands also lead to a large catch radius with the ability to attack the ball at the catch point. He easily plucks it out away from his frame. One of Wallace’s superpowers is his body control. He effortlessly can contort his body in the air for back shoulder targets and transition into a RAC threat within the blink of an eye once his feet hit the ground. Wallace is solid to above average in every area of playing wide receiver, which should allow him to run a full route tree and play a variety of roles for an NFL offense. He has the ceiling of operating as a team’s WR2 but is likely better cast as a strong WR3 option.

50) De’Zhaun Stribling – WR23

Stribling is a linear athlete. He’s a build-up speed receiver that can make some things happen with the ball in his hands. Stribling had 7.3 and 6.7 yards after the catch per reception over the last two years. He can bulldoze through defenders with momentum built up and a strong upper body. Stribling can look clunky at times when he’s asked to sink his hips at the top of the route and break back towards the quarterback. Comebacks and curls aren’t his special sauce. With a heavy diet of slants, posts, and gos, he can cook. He needs to continue to add more nuance, variations in pacing, and the other bells and whistles of route running. Stribling has good ball tracking and the ability to stack corners on vertical routes. He displays plus body control with plenty of nice back shoulder catches littering his film.

51) Sam Roush – TE10

Roush is a fluid mover. He has solid footwork off the line and at the top of stem to earn separation, but he lacks top-end speed to threaten the seam or explode with the ball in his hands. Roush has functional strength limitations that show up in his blocking. He is a tenacious, high-effort blocker, but he can get blown back by powerful defenders. He’s best utilized when asking him to combo block with a lineman or chipping before he gets into his route. Roush isn’t a dynamic YAC threat with only 5.3 yards after the catch per reception in his collegiate career, and only three missed tackles in his final season.

52) Matthew Hibner – TE11

Hibner has a solid set of mitts. Over the last two years, he has had a 56.2% contested catch rate. He’ll lose a few at the point of contract, but he has the athleticism to continue to grow in the area. Hibner dropped only two of his collegiate targets, and both were of the concentration variety. Hibner has a 9.25 RAS, a 94th percentile vertical jump, a 4.57 40-yard dash time, and a 72nd percentile shuttle. His big-time athleticism shows up on his film. He was 27th and 4th in YAC/reception over the last two years. Hibner isn’t a mauler after the catch, but he has the speed to outrun defenders in the open field and on crossing routes and up the seam. He’s a legit vertical threat down the seam and on deep over routes. I question how high his target earning ceiling is, but he should post nice per-route metrics in the NFL, as he’ll get chunk plays when he is targeted. He’s a linear athlete. You won’t see many players where Hibner is juking someone out, but he can easily burn them with his speed. He has fluid hips and the ability to adjust in the air and to targets outside of his frame. Good initial punch as a blocker. Tenacious. He’ll reestablish his feet during a snap with a good second effort. He will dip his head and lunch at defenders. He’ll get crushed in the NFL if he doesn’t get out of his habit.

53) Seydou Traore – TE12

Traore is a top-shelf athlete. He had a 9.42 RAS while running a 4.59 40-yard dash. He also managed a 40″ vertical jump (99th percentile), a 10’7″ broad jump (98th percentile), and a 4.25 shuttle (89th percentile). He was utilized in the slot with 49.9-51% of his snaps in his final two seasons in college. Traore’s speed immediately jumps off the page. He has wonderful burst off the line (93rd percentile 10-yard split) as he moves like a big wide receiver. His fluidity during his routes is quite nice, with subtle changes of direction without losing much speed (if any). Traore has the raw speed and second gear to be a field-stretching option at tight end up the seam. The quarterback play he had to deal with in 2025 left so many big plays on the field with poor ball placement and accuracy. Traore was open on plenty of seam routes and slot fades, and the quarterback would brain-fart and air-mail him. His play strength issues crop up at the catch point. He can get bullied at the catch point by linebackers and corners. He has the play strength to improve (25 bench reps) in this area, but right now it’s subpar. He finished college with a 40% contested catch rate across his final two seasons. He can easily add another ten pounds to his frame in the NFL to help alleviate the play strength concerns. Blocking is an adventure for Traore at this juncture. He’ll drop his eyes and pad level at times and lunge at defenders at the attack point. He’s late to diagnose free rushers at times, especially interior pressure. He can get easily turned around and redirected by power/speed off the edge. He’s a better run blocker at this juncture. In that realm, he has solid leg drive and sustain as a puller or edge setter.

54) Chase Roberts – WR24

Roberts is a big, long-striding possession receiver. He has 4.64 40-yard dash speed. With solid testing metrics finishing with an 82nd percentile vertical jump, an 87th percentile broad jump, and an 80th percentile three cone. He will have to continue to diversify his release package in the NFL. There are moments when he wins off the line with speed and has the corner get back into the play. His route salesmanship could also use a few more pitches, as he isn’t leaving corners frustrated and burnt often. At his size (6’3″), he can still get in and out of a whip route fairly well. He plays with strength in his routes and at the catch point. He secured 65.7% of his contested targets over the last two years. He has fluid body control and a big catch radius. With his average raw speed, he has issues consistently stacking corners. He’ll have to live with muddy catch points, but he has the play strength to win his share of those battles. Roberts profiles as more of a possession receiver than a downfield threat. Drops are a problem that he has to clean up. He finished with a 9.1% drop rate in college.

55) Jeff Caldwell – WR25

Caldwell is a size/speed specimen standing at 6’5″, 215 lbs, with a blazing 4.31 40-yard dash time. That type of raw speed is easily evident in his film. He flies off the line as soon as the ball is snapped. Caldwell should enter an NFL passing attack as a field stretcher with room to grow into more at the next level. Caldwell tall, lanky bolt of lightning. His route running needs to grow at the next level for him to hit his ceiling as a player. He relies on speed releases and has to clean up his in-route footwork on double moves. He has the raw speed to still burn corners with them, but that margin for error will decrease in the NFL. Caldwell’s thinner frame shows up at the catch point with a 37.9% contested catch rate over the last two years. He has serviceable hands, but drops have been a problem with a 10.1% drop rate in college. Caldwell displays solid ball tracking as he was tasked with a hitch and go routes. Last year, 27.6% of his target volume came via deep targets.

56) Tyren Montgomery – WR26

Montgomery’s raw speed is adequate and more of the build-up variety. He does have enough speed to stack defenders when running the vertical route tree, but the jump in competition is a concern in that area. He could find himself having to win at the catch point more in the NFL. Montgomery displays late hands and can operate above the rim in jump ball situations. He could be a red zone threat for an NFL offense from Day 1. Montgomery is a catch point winner. He had only 13 contested targets last year, but he secured 61.5% of them. Montgomery has solid fluidity in his routes. His hip stiffness does show up when he’s asked to sink and decelerate on comebacks and curls. Montgomery is much better on ins and outs when he can put his foot in the ground and uncover quickly. He does a decent job of adding some nuance to his routes with some salesmanship. His in-route footwork does need to be cleaned up as his feet can get away from him at times, getting in and out of his breaks, where he’ll lose his footing. Despite his 27 missed tackles forced last year, I don’t consider him to be a behemoth after the catch. Much of that I attribute to the lower level of competition and poor tackling. He profiles more as a possession receiver in the NFL.

57) J’Mari Taylor – RB11

Taylor is a dense, bowling-ball back. His low center of gravity allows him to bob and weave through defenders. Taylor has average burst and build-up speed back with a decent second gear in the second-level. Taylor has solid lateral agility, but he loses speed when attempting to string tackle-breaking moves together. He wins with vision and short-area footwork. He’s not a powerback. Taylor is a trusted back in pass pro with only one sack and five hurries allowed in college (160 pass blocking snaps). With his stature and strong base, he can stand up an incoming defender or, at the very least, redirect them from his quarterback. Taylor was a decent checkdown option in the passing game. He amassed 43 receptions (54 targets) in his only season with Virginia, but he only churned out 0.91 yards per route run with a 0.2 aDOT. He did have a 10.4% drop rate, which is concerning. If he can earn passing down reps with his blocking chops, he could be an outlet option for a quarterback, but he’ll likely never be a “pass game weapon”.

58) Jaydn Ott – RB12

Ott is a linear runner. He’s equipped with average burst and an ok second-gear. He’s a slasher back with smooth lateral agility. Ott wins with solid footwork, lateral agility, and plus vision. He doesn’t have the raw speed to consistently gain the edge with wide zone runs, but he can operate with inside zone and gap runs at a high level. His speed is more of the build-up variety. He can hold his own in pass protection, but he still will attempt to lunge at defenders at times and drop his head. This won’t work in the NFL, but he balances those rough reps with some strong ones where he anchors decently and redirects incoming rushers.

59) Terion Stewart – RB13

Stewart is a dense, bowling-ball back. He’s rocked up and built like a mini fridge. He doesn’t have plus long speed (4.56 40-yard dash), but he gets up to top speed in the blink of an eye (99th percentile 10-yard split). He is a chunk play author who lacks a true home run gear. Stewart’s speed and twitch looked decreased in 2025 on film. This could be related to a left foot/ankle injury he sustained early in the year (was spotted in a boot in August). He also dealt with a right leg/foot injury in 2023 (missed the final four games). Stewart has solid vision as a tenacious downhill runner with good contact balance. In 2025, there were times when he paused at the line before bursting forward if the intended gap was clogged. This is just a wrinkle in his game and not a consistent trend across his film. Last year, Stewart wasn’t as quick to attempt to bounce runs outside as he had been in previous seasons. Once he gets into the second level of a defense, he displays patience and the willingness to create off-angle tackle attempts for defenders with subtle jump cuts and directional changes. He pinballs off defenders. Stewart has the occasional spin move or stiff arm that he’ll deploy to add a few more yards to the end of a run. He is a savvy runner, but he’s not dynamically twitchy. Stewart’s passing game usage and resume as a pass blocker are extremely limited. He finishes college with only 13 targets and a paltry 0.40 yards per route run. He was a checkdown option only in college. With his pass-blocking reps, Stewart is a work in progress. Stewart is late in diagnosing rushers at times. He has solid lower-body strength but will drop his eyes at times, swing and miss against free rushers, and doesn’t sustain his blocks or hit them with a strong punch consistently.

60) Robert Henry Jr. – RB14

Henry Jr. profiles as an RB2/3 or change-of-pace option at the NFL level. He has average burst at best (24th percentile 10-yard split) and decent short-area agility. He’ll toss in a nice juke move occasionally. Henry is a build-up speed runway back that does his best work with subtle jump cuts and vision in the second-level. He lacks the home run hitting, long speed, and palpable second gear. Henry is a liability in pass protection. He is late to the party at times as he’s a tick late to diagnose his assignment. Henry will lunge at defenders and find himself out of position. His lateral agility limitations show up here as he’ll get burned by speed rushers off the edge, as they easily get around him. He’s a serviceable checkdown option in the passing game with dependable hands. Henry had only three drops in college (70 targets).

61) Eli Heidenreich – RB15

Heidenreich was a Swiss army knife weapon for Navy. He finishes his collegiate career with 1,157 rushing yards (no more than 77 carries or 499 rushing yards in any season). In 2025, he also had 79 targets, 18.5 yards per reception, and 941 receiving yards. In 2025, Heidenreich spent 44.3% of his snaps in the backfield, 14.7% of them in the slot, and 32.9% as a perimeter wide receiver. His eventual home in the NFL is likely as a slot receiver. When utilized as a backfield/rushing option, it was as a motion player or getting him to the perimeter with toss plays. He didn’t operate with a heavy dose of traditional running back usage in the rushing department. As a receiver, he has legit route-running chops, and he can win from the perimeter. He has a serviceable release package, but he’ll need to continue to add to that tool belt and refine his footwork to work on the boundary. As a slot option, Heidenreich can already win against zone. He has a decent understanding of pacing against zone coverage and leverage.

62) Justin Joly – TE13

Joly has a thick and muscular build. He plays with impressive physicality in all facets of the game, from his inline blocking to his RAC ability. Joly isn’t a burner likely running in the 4.7/4.8 40 range. He entered college as a wide receiver prospect and converted to tight end. Joly is a dump-and-run tight end best operating underneath against zone coverage. He has the route nuance to stretch the seam, but it is more selectively. Joly’s lateral agility helps him separate on slants and outs, but his middling raw speed allows speedy defenders to regain their footing during the rest of the route. He can create with the ball in his hands due to his tackle-breaking ability, with 46 missed tackles forced in his four-year collegiate career. His lack of top-shelf raw speed and burst limits how much YAC he is able to generate. Joly is a strong blocking option in the running and passing games. He plays pissed off and has the upper and lower body strength to move players off the mark or hold them right where he wants them. He has plus pass pro grades of 71.4 and 74.4 over the last two seasons. Joly’s play strength bleeds over to his prowess at the catch point. He has a solid set of hands with a 2% drop rate in his final collegiate season and a 66% contested catch rate overall.

63) Dallen Bentley – TE14

Last year, Bentley ran 30.4% of his routes from the slot (55.5% inline). Bentley looks lumbering off the line at times (more than you’d expect considering his testing metrics). His play strength limitations show up at the catch point. He can get bullied there by smaller players with a 23.5% career contested catch rate. Bentley is an underneath option against zone coverage that offers some verticality. He was utilized on hitch routes a lot. When Utah wanted to sneak him upfield, they ran him on wheels most of the time. He has solid body control on back shoulder targets with the ability to adjust to the ball in the air. Bentley is mainly a dump-and-run option. Bentley has the play strength and build to break some tackles, but he’s not a twitchy player after the catch. He’s best viewed as a possession receiving option. Bentley isn’t offering a ton after the catch with 5.2 yards after the catch per reception in college. As a blocker, Bentley can pop out of his stance, and his pad level gets too high. He can be moved and manipulated at the attack point more easily than he should, considering his size. Speed rushers have little issues getting around him on the edge when he’s left on an island. His lateral agility constraints show up quickly.

64) Noah Whittington – RB16

Whittington has a compact, muscular frame. He has little wasted motion as a decisive downhill runner with quick acceleration. He quickly gets up to top speed but lacks an elite home run gear. Whittington can pull away from some defenders in the open field. He’s not a twitchy yards creator in the second-level. Whittington does have some route-running chops as Oregon aligned him in the slot or outside 21.2-23.6% of his snaps in his final two collegiate seasons. He can easily operate as a check-down option in a passing game, but he has the upside with some solid route nuance with out routes and the occasional slant.

65) Roman Hemby – RB17

Hemby should help to fill out an NFL depth chart as an early down compliment. He’s a long-striding, upright runner with build up speed. Hemby gets downhill quickly and displays solid vision. Hemby is a solid runner who should excel with gap runs and inside zone concepts in the NFL. He doesn’t have the raw speed to consistently win the edge, but he is a strong one-cut runner who can operate in stretch zone if the offensive line does its job. Hemby could develop into a solid pass protector in the NFL. There are some lateral agility limitations here, but he flashes solid lower body strength and the ability to hold his patch of grass. Hemby will never be a passing game “weapon”, but he isn’t a zero here. He was tasked with checkdowns, flat routes, and some wheels in college. He had only three drops in college (147 targets).

66) Dane Key – WR27

Key is a big, long-striding receiver. He has average burst and long speed. He will telegraph his route breaks at times with choppy footsteps and his pad level. He needs to improve his route salesmanship. There are some reps where he’ll toss in jab steps and head fakes, but it needs to happen more consistently. Key has no issues separating against zone coverage, but when corners line up to press him, they can get access to his chest easily. Key can be rerouted and hung up in routes. He could easily become a solid WR3/4 for an NFL team if he can continue to grow as a route technician. Key should be more of a possession receiver at the next level. He isn’t going to blow anyone away with his RAC ability (3.7 yards after the catch per reception in college) or tackle-breaking chops (26 missed tackles forced across four years).

67) Romello Brinson – WR28

Brinson has PLENTY of speed to get downfield. He hits the gas and gets to top speed in a hurry with 4.3 / 4.4 40 speed. He’s a high-cut long-strider with a quicker accelerator than most players with his build. Brinson needs to improve his footwork off the line and with double moves. He relies upon his raw speed too much at times to cover some of his footwork sins. Overall, he is a solid route runner who deploys plenty of bells and whistles to invite indecision in a corner’s head. Brinson can gear down quickly with explosive movements at the top of his stems with comebacks. He sells a vertical push well before snapping off his routes. Brinson profiles as a field-stretching WR3 that could pop off with a big game at any time.

68) C.J. Daniels – WR29

Daniels is a DAWG! He fights for every blade of grass. Daniels is a technically sound, polished receiver whose physical traits have capped him. His footwork off the line and route nuance are strong. His long speed and burst are just average. If he had just a pinch more acceleration, he would have a high ceiling. Daniels operates well versus zone coverage, but he can get held up by press coverage. He has the necessary upper body strength to negotiate it, but he lacks the extra burst to separate once he has bought himself some leeway with his upper body. Daniels has some WILD catches on his film. He exhibits a “my ball” mentality at the catch point with a career 62.3% contested catch rate. Daniels has an insane one-hander vs. Notre Dame, as well as some catches made around a defender. Daniels should fill out an NFL depth chart well as a possession receiver that sets the tone for a team.

69) Joey Aguilar – QB9

Aguilar should develop into a nice backup in the NFL with the ability to be a spot starter in a pinch. Aguilar is a muscular pocket passer that won’t be asked to operate as a dual-threat in the NFL. Last year, he had only 71 rushing attempts, which he churned out 1.4 yards per carry. Aguilar is an accurate rhythm passer to all three levels. He won’t wow you with insane highlight reel throws, but he has solid ball placement and delivers solid, catchable targets. He has solid pocket presence with the willingness to stand tall versus pressure to deliver an accurate pass. Aguilar has a quick trigger and decisively gets the ball out on time. He wasn’t asked to perform full field reads at Tennessee with a steady diet of three-step drops and get the ball to your first read or designed screens or quick hitters.

70) Barion Brown – WR30

Brown has immediate and legit speed. That speed has served him well as a returner, which is where he’ll make his biggest impact during his early stages as an NFL player. He finished his collegiate career with six kick return touchdowns. He finishes eighth all-time in NCAA history in kick return average and third-best in SEC history while leading the SEC in two of the last three seasons in this category. Brown has a limited route tree and release package. He’s a linear player, though, who needs to improve his deceleration and hip sink at the top of his stems. He has the raw speed to get by with speed releases to this point, but he’ll need to continue to add to the tool belt at the next level. In his final season, he was utilized on screens a ton and in motion, ensuring free releases at the line. In 2025, 36.5% of his target volume was via screens, and 54.2% of his targets came within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. Brown isn’t a ball winner at the catch point with a 36.7% career contested catch rate. His hands can also be suspect overall in the receiving game, with a 12.1% or higher drop rate in two of his four collegiate seasons.

71) Aaron Anderson – WR31

Anderson is a zone-beating slot option in the NFL. He ran 89.5% of his routes from the slot in college. Anderson can create with the ball in his hands with 6.8 and 7.5 yards after the catch per reception over the last two seasons. In 2024, he was 16th in missed tackles forced among wide receivers. Anderson has good vision in traffic with shiftiness and patience to allow his blocks to set up in front of him before bursting upfield. He displays good snap at the top of his stems and flashes nice short-area agility on whip routes. Anderson’s biggest concern is his suspect hands with a drop rate north of 9% in each of the last two seasons.

72) Josh Cameron – WR32

Cameron will need to add to his release package and route-running bag if he’s going to climb an NFL depth chart. He projects as a solid depth piece for an NFL roster that would be best suited with a move to the slot (88.7% on the perimeter in college), where he can see more off-coverage and nickel corners that he can better deploy his play strength against. Physical perimeter corners have no issue staying in Cameron’s back pocket. His play strength and solid hands help him, as he isn’t the best separator, so he’s dealing with muddy catch points often. In his final collegiate season, he had only one drop and a 59.3% contested catch rate (27 contested targets). Cameron offers some YAC ability, and with his upper body strength, he can break tackles. He posted 25 missed tackles across his final two collegiate seasons and 6.3 yards after the catch per reception in 2024. He’s built like a physical running back and operates as one after the catch.

73) Jordan Hudson – WR33

Hudson is a fluid mover with plus body control, with back shoulder throws and sideline catches. He’s a solid all-around wide receiver that should settle in as a solid WR3/4 on an NFL depth chart. Hudson can operate as a deep threat, separate well on short and intermediate quick hitters, and offer some RAC. Last year, 54% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind the line of scrimmage, but Hudson does offer enough raw speed and route nuance to get deep when called upon. Hudson has strong hands that allow him to hold onto some tough catches made in traffic and pluck balls away from his frame. His catch radius stands out as he attacks the ball in the air. He has solid burst off the line and after the catch with the lower body strength to break some tackles as a decent YAC threat. In 2025, he ranked 26th in missed tackles forced among wideouts.

74) DJ Rogers – TE15

Rogers is a move tight end with average speed/burst. He’s a RAC/dump-and-run option in the passing game. Rogers was regularly tasked with running to space versus zone, middle of the field, hitch routes, and flat routes. In 2025, 80% of his target volume was within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. He had only one deep target. Rogers has enough speed to make some things happen after the catch, but he’s not an otherworldly threat to break tackles or outrun a defender. Rogers is savvy, though. He’ll deploy subtle jab steps and create off-angle tackling attempts for defenders while also displaying patience to allow blocks to set up in front of him. As a blocker, he pops up quickly, and defenders can get under his pads and move him easily at times. His power, leg drive, and sustain with blocks are average at best.

75) John Michael Gyllenborg – TE16

Gyllenborg is still a work in progress with a limited playing resume under his belt. In high school, he played only three games in his senior year (after converting from a basketball standout) before losing the rest of the season to an LCL injury. In 2024, he dealt with a high ankle sprain, and in 2025, he missed time with a hamstring injury. Gyllenborg is a solid athlete with a 4.60 40-yard dash, an 87th percentile vertical jump, and a 98th percentile broad jump. He has decent build-up speed. Gyllenborg needs to clean up his catch technique. He finished college with a 9% drop rate, and he looks like he’s fighting the ball with many catches. There are also plenty of concentration drops on his film. Gyllenborg needs to continue to refine his footwork and movement skills. He can look lumbering off the line and clunky when getting in and out of his breaks. His hips are also a tad stiff with the inflexibility and lack of explosion showing up with short area routes (whips). Gyllenborg was tasked with a limited route tree as an underneath option in 2025. 60% of his routes were outs, ins, flats, and crossers. 80% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. He’s a zone coverage option and a chain mover at this juncture. He had only 5.4 yards after the catch per reception and six missed tackles forced in college. Gyllenborg doesn’t deal well with physical coverage. He can be pushed off his line and bullied at the catch point. He needs to improve his play strength to match his raw athleticism. He finishes college with a 46.7% contested catch rate. Gyllenborg is a raw blocking option. His feet can be a tick slow at times as he adjusts laterally to pass rushers, as they have no problem clearing him with ease. His technique is all over the place. He flashes the strength to sustain blocks at times while getting pushed around easily during other plays. Some of it looks like an effort issue, but there will be a lot of work required in the NFL to get him up to league-average blocking standards.

76) Diego Pavia – QB10

Pavia’s rushing ability is immediately evident when watching his film, with quick twitch ability and 4.6 speed. He’s not a burner, but he has solid short-area agility with the ability to stop on a dime. He averaged 178 rushing attempts, 862 rushing yards, and 8.3 rushing touchdowns over his final three collegiate seasons. It’s not crazy to worry about his health in the NFL at his size if he continues to run as frequently as he did in college. With Pavia’s short stature, there are drawbacks to his field vision, like many other height-challenged quarterbacks. The Vandy passing attack was based around quick hitters, screens, and getting Pavia on the move to facilitate his field vision. If he’s forced to play from the pocket in the NFL, it could constrict what you’re able to do with him, playcalling-wise. Pavia is forced to attempt jump passes at times, and he frequently has passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. Over the last three seasons, he had 26 passes batted down. Pavia embraces off-script chaos. Some of this is likely due to his height and field vision, but some of this is just his inherent play style. He’ll flee workable pockets at times where pressure doesn’t exist to get outside of the pocket and make something happen with his arm and/or legs. Pavia will drift in the pocket at times instead of stepping up. Pavia has decent touch and zip on short and intermediate throws. He has issues with layering throws at times to the second-level and will sail some second-level throws. His arm strength limitations show up when he’s throwing downfield, especially downfield when on the move. Pavia is a max effort thrower. He has the arm strength to make most NFL throws, but his ball placement on deep throws can suffer as a max effort thrower to that area of the field where Pavia is just trying to muster the necessary torque to get it to his receiver. His ball placement suffers on these plays. Pavia can lock onto his first read at times. There are moments where he does operate pure progression concepts and will get to his third or fourth option, but there are more moments in his game film where he’ll stick on his first read at times to his detriment.

77) Drew Allar – QB11

Drew Allar sustained a fractured ankle in 2025, which ended his season. Even before this injury, he didn’t project to be a rushing threat in the NFL. In 2023-2024, Allar averaged 254 rushing yards with 3.0 yards per carry. He has the size to be a goal-line option, but I don’t see him being an option with the designed quarterback run game. Allar is a developmental quarterback prospect with the raw tools as a passer that could entice an NFL team to take the leap. He needs a lot of refinement on a down-to-down basis to develop into a legit starting NFL quarterback option. Allar has an NFL arm in terms of raw strength and velocity, but the accuracy is a problem. His ball placement can be erratic at all three levels. Most of his passes are on a line and lack touch and layering. Wide receivers are left waiting on his deep ball at times. His footwork can lapse at times, which impacts his accuracy and his timing on deeper dropbacks. He’ll drift in the pocket on some plays. His trigger can be variable. Allar will get the ball out on time with some passing plays, but he’ll also hold the ball and get behind the play as well with some reps. He doesn’t trust his eyes at times and will pat the ball like he’s burping a newborn baby. When his first read isn’t there at times, he’ll immediately drop his eyes and look to take off and run. Allar can access his second and third reads at times, but it’s not consistent. His pacing through progressions is erratic, as he’ll also fly through his first read at times early in a play. Allar doesn’t deal with pressure well. He’ll bail pockets at the first sniff of pressure with some plays or hang in with antsy feet and a frantic approach to make a play.

78) Caleb Douglas – WR34

He projects as a solid WR3/4 for an NFL franchise. Douglas is a well-rounded wide receiver. His ceiling might not be incredibly high, but the floor is quite high and projectable. Douglas has solid burst off the line. He has good bend and fluidity to his movements. When tasked with a double move, he gets back up to top speed quickly. He can get deep with route nuance and enough raw speed to stretch the field, while he likely won’t be asked to fill a field-stretcher-only role in the NFL. Douglas has good hip sink and the ability to deaccelerate well, especially for a player of his size. He offers some RAC upside with his upper body strength. He did have only 5.4 and 5.9 yards after the catch per reception across his final two collegiate seasons, but he did also force 17 missed tackles in that timeframe. Douglas has a varied release package that he deploys with a solid split release and wide step release. He can improve upon his footwork overall, though. His footwork at the line can get “Tik Toky” sometimes, but it’s not a consistent problem. He has a good understanding of varying route tempo and depth depending upon the zone coverage that is presented.

79) Reggie Virgil – WR35

Virgil has average speed and burst off the line. He profiles as a depth/possession wide receiver in the NFL. Virgil doesn’t offer much YAC ability, with only 4.3 yards after the catch per reception in his collegiate career and 19 missed tackles forced across the last two collegiate seasons. He’s not a twitchy receiver and lacks the burst/recovery speed to be asked to deploy double moves with regularity. Virgil is proficient against zone coverage with the savvy to sit down his routes in exploitable areas. Virgil will need to continue to expand his route-running chops and route tree in the NFL. He was tasked with a heavy dose of stop and nine routes in college.

80) Cyrus Allen – WR36

Speedy, zone-beating slot option. His usage was as an underneath/gadget weapon. Allen has some creativity to his route running. He’ll be a slot-confined option in the NFL, deployed on screens, crossers, and out routes. Allen does possess good body control for a receiver of his size, which helps the case for his catch radius. Allen can churn out YAC with his speed, but don’t expect him to break a ton of tackles in the open field (only 14 across four collegiate seasons).

81) Demond Claiborne – RB18

The backbone of Claiborne’s game is his raw speed (4.37 40 time). He’s a linear runner that can stomp the gas and manage explosive runs with this speed. Claiborne isn’t a twitchy player, though. Especially for a smaller back, he struggles with change of direction and has to utilize choppy steps to do so. Claiborne’s vision isn’t great. He lacks the patience at times to allow running lanes and blocks to develop in front of him. He routinely misses cutback lanes. He should be tasked with gap runs in the NFL that give him a well-defined running lane and allow him to get upfield quickly. He was just utilized as a checkdown option in college. He was mainly tasked with dump-offs and flat routes. He doesn’t have a trusty set of hands. In his final collegiate season, he had five fumbles and six drops. Claiborne struggles as a blocker. In pass pro, Claiborne’s size and lack of play strength show up. He’s unable to anchor or move incoming rushers out of the pocket. If he’s on the field in the NFL in passing down situations, he’ll be best deployed by running routes. Last year, with 42 pass blocking snaps, he allowed four hurries and four pressures.

82) Marlin Klein – TE17

Klein spent 53.8% of his snaps in 2025 in-line (38.6% slot). He has decent burst off the line. Klein will flash solid route salesmanship with in-breakers and out and ups. He has to continue to hone his game against zone coverage. He’ll drift with his routes at times and lack spatial awareness. Klein isn’t a beast after the catch. He had only 5.5 yards after the catch per reception in 2025 while forcing only one missed tackle in college. His athletic limitations show up when he’s asked to adjust to targets outside of his frame. He has a hard time gearing down with routes breaking back toward the quarterback. He’s a linear player, which will likely limit his usage and versatility in the NFL. Klein can hold his own as a pass protector, as a combo block and chip option. I wouldn’t suggest an NFL team line him up against an edge 1-on-1 in his rookie season, though. Those are battles that he isn’t likely to win consistently. He does keep a strong base and solid punch, so there’s upside here with Klein as a blocker.

83) Adam Randall – RB19

Randall is a former collegiate wide receiver who converted to running back for his final college season. His wide receiver background shows up immediately with his nimble feet for his size and route-running ability. Clemson didn’t really utilize his receiving skills as he was mostly just a checkdown option in the passing game, but he did flash with the occasional slot slant or wheel route. His hands are also questionable, which is concerning, considering his background. He had six drops in his final college season (49 targets). He has average burst as a linear and upright runner. His upright running style can lead to him crumbling like a house of cards at times, especially when he is contacted low. He can break tackles and run through the opposition when he has a head of steam built up in the second level on occasion. Randall isn’t a dynamic player in space. Randall doesn’t convert his size and strength to power in the run game. He runs like a 5’9″ back at times. His tweener skill set makes him a hard player to project at the next level. I could easily see him functioning as an H back in the NFL, but his play strength will need to improve to fill that role. He’s not a pile moving back despite his large frame. He’s more comfortable in space on toss plays or outside zone plays, where he does have a decent feel of flowing laterally before bursting upfield. Randall can be tentative at the line at times, but he was more decisive as a runner later in the 2025 season.

84) Lewis Bond – WR37

Bond is a dense, bowling ball running routes from the slot (55.8% collegiate slot route). He has a thick lower half, which helps him break tackles and produce tough yards after the catch. Bond should be a solid zone coverage beating option from the slot in the NFL. He has solid change-of-direction ability with efficient lateral agility. He’s not a burner, but he has the requisite raw speed to allow him to function in a similar role in the NFL. He has strong hands and should be a dependable underneath option in an NFL passing game. Bond boasts a 4.9% collegiate drop rate and 68.6% contested catch rate.

85) Deion Burks – WR38

In 2025, Burks ran 77.9% of his routes from the perimeter, but I think he’ll transition back to the slot in the NFL. In 2024, he ran 85.5% of his routes from the slot. Burks is more quick than fast. He had a steady diet of screen, drags, and underneath routes in college with bunch formations to create free releases for him at the line. Burks makes things happen in the open field with a quick accelerator and shiftiness. He has enough raw speed to be utilized vertically in a passing offense. Burks showed off a crisp double move occasionally when aligned on the perimeter in 2025. Burks has a small catch radius and isn’t a ball winner at the catch point. He can have issues with physical corners during routes and at the catch point, with a 36.8% contested catch rate in college. He started college with drop issues, but improved his hands over time, with only 4.9% and 3.1% drop rates in his final two seasons.

86) Jalon Daniels – QB12

Daniels has a strong arm. The ball jumps out of his hand with easy velocity. Arm strength isn’t the issue here. It’s consistency with ball placement and layering throws. Daniels will struggle with ball placement at times and tosses everything on a line to the second-level. Daniels can limit YAC opportunities for his receivers at times with his ball placement. Daniels is a rushing threat with at least 404 rushing yards and four rushing scores in each of his last three full collegiate seasons. He’s not a prolifically twitchy player with the ball in his hands, but he should be able to operate as an opportunistic scrambler in the NFL. Daniels will hold the ball too long at times. With his off-script ability and athleticism, he tends to live in the world of broken play chaos. He’ll need to improve his timing and trigger to consistently play on time in the NFL.

87) Chip Trayanum – RB20

Trayanum is a thick, early down bruiser. He doesn’t have amazing raw or long speed, but his burst is serviceable, and he displays efficient footwork. He has “enough” juice to get by. Trayanum can negotiate tight quarters with his footwork, but the lacking burst prevents him from springing big runs. Trayanum is a smart back. He displays solid vision, pace, and can access cutback lanes. He’s a willing pass protector. He quickly diagnoses his assignment and has the play strength to deal with free blitzers off the edge.

88) Le’Veon Moss – RB21

Moss is a one-speed, no-nonsense downhill runner. Moss has a strong lower half that allows him to barrel through loose wraps and shoelace tackles. He keeps his legs churning through the final whistle every play. Moss is a chunk play runner that lacks a homerun gear. He can get chased down in the open field. Out of his 321 collegiate carries, only 44 were for at least ten yards, and only 21 went for 15 or more yards. Moss could be a decent early-down complement for an NFL backfield, but he isn’t offering much in the passing game. With his running style, strength, and decisiveness, he could be a solid goalline option. He’s willing to stick his nose in there on pass protection situations. He has to clean up his pass pro technique, but he has the willingness and fight which can be half the battle for some backs. Moss allowed ten pressures with his 52 collegiate pass pro snaps. He’s nothing more than a checkdown option in the passing game.

89) Jam Miller – RB22

Miller profiles as an early down back-up option in the NFL. Miller is a downhill one-speed runner. He lacks a high-end second gear or the juice to win the edge in the NFL consistently. Miller has solid vision and patience, but because of his burst limitations, he’s best in a gap scheme run game. Miller’s speed is more of the build-up variety. Miller won’t juke you out of your shoes. He will attempt to throw off defenders with some head fakes in the open field or the occasional spin move or jump cut, but he’s a linear runner. He won’t create a ton of yards for himself. If he’s contacted in the backfield, he doesn’t have that extra layer of juice or wiggle to make many people miss. He’s a liability in pass protection. Miller will lunge at or chip defenders, but he rarely locks into incoming rushers with his hands and holds his ground. Last year, with 49 pass blocking snaps (per PFF), he allowed seven pressures, four hurries, and three sacks. His below-average pass protection skills will limit his passing down usage in the NFL unless he corrects them. The former Alabama back is a checkdown option only in the passing game. He wasn’t tasked with running an in-depth route tree, usually leaking out of the backfield, or running a flat route. His hands are a liability with five drops over the last two seasons (43 targets).

90) Rahsul Faison – RB23

Faison is consistently churning out extra yardage at the end of runs. He keeps his legs churning and gets the most out of his opportunities. Faison is an angry, linear runner. He’s at his best when he hits the hole and gets downhill quickly. Faison is a competent checkdown option in the passing game, but he’s likely best suited as an early down/goal line option in the NFL. With his vision, play strength, and demeanor, he is a solid interior rusher who can pick up tough yards.

91) Jamal Haynes – RB24

Haynes is an undersized speed back that runs to his build. He doesn’t possess the lower-half strength to break a ton of tackles or punish defenders in short-yardage situations. He’ll be a change-of-pace option in the NFL. Haynes has easy and immediate burst with the lateral agility to juke some defenders out of their cleats. He wins with speed, lateral agility, and vision.

92) Desmond Reid – RB25

Reid has below-average burst and average build-up speed. He’s caught behind plenty on his film. His low center of gravity helps him wiggle out of loose wraps and run through some weak tackling attempts. He’ll deploy the occasional jab step in space, but for the most part, he’s a linear runner without the special twitch sauce that a smaller back needs for the NFL. He’s not a dynamic player in space. Reid isn’t a big play author with only 47 runs (9.4%) in college going for at least 15 yards. In three of his four collegiate seasons, he couldn’t eclipse a 40% breakaway rate. Reid is a decent passing game option. Over the last two seasons, he had 17.8-26% of his snaps as a slot or perimeter receiving option. He wasn’t tasked with an expansive route tree in college despite the hopeful alignment usage. He was fed a steady diet of screens, flats, and the occasional slant or angle route from a stacked formation. Reid’s size shows up in pass pro. With 114 collegiate pass pro snaps, he allowed 13 pressures. He had only one season with a pass blocking grade above 38.0. He can get knocked off his feet and ragdolled in pass pro. There are some snaps where he displays enough functional strength and the lower center of gravity to redirect an incoming rusher, but I wouldn’t trust him to keep a quarterback clean repeatedly during a season.

93) Will Kacmarek – TE18

Kacmarek dealt with a left foot injury in 2025 (April) as he was spotted in a boot at one point. It’s unclear if it impacted his play last season. Kacmarek was sparingly used as a receiver over the last two years, with only 27 targets. He was a dependable receiving option with soft hands over the last two seasons with zero drops. He operated as an inline option with 73-77.3% of his snaps coming inline. Kacmarek is a linear athlete with a 4.74 40-yard dash time. His shuttle (49th) and three cone (42nd) were both below the 50th percentile. He won’t give you much after the catch with only 5.7 and 6.4 yards after the catch per reception and a grand total of two missed tackles forced. He operated at Ohio State as an underneath option (5.5, 5.3 aDOTs). He displays good instincts and pacing against zone coverage. When he was utilized as a seam option, he had enough build-up speed to get the job done with solid ball tracking. Kacmarek is a solid blocking option who needs to continue to improve his lower-half strength. He has a solid first punch and sustain, but he can be moved backward against power. He should enter the NFL as a serviceable run blocker from the jump with 68.8 or higher grades in each of his last three seasons.

94) Michael Trigg – TE19

Trigg is a dump-and-run receiving first developmental tight end prospect. With his size (6’4″, 240 lbs), he moves like a big wide receiver, but he has a TON of development that is still needed to be a starting tight end in the NFL. Trigg lined up in the slot with 66.9% of his collegiate snaps. He’s a project as a blocker, and I have questions about his play strength. I wonder if he’ll ever reach a place in his career where he can be counted on as a league-average blocking option on run and passing downs. Any team drafting him will have to do so with a receiving-first focus and be willing to live with what he does and doesn’t offer as a blocker. Trigg is a fluid mover with good twitch and smooth hips, but he has a slender build despite his 240lb weight listing. Trigg can be pushed around by physical defenders in his routes and at the catch point. He leaves college with a 45.2% contested catch rate while also flashing spotty hands with a 10.7% drop rate. Trigg will need to improve his play strength and technique at the catch point to become a red zone threat, as his attempts to box out defenders in the paint fall flat on many plays. Trigg has high-end moments with some highlight reel spots, but he lacks consistency in his play. He lacks route nuance and salesmanship while sporting inefficient TikTok footwork on many routes. He’s just a manufactured touch, dump and run, and option against zone.

95) Caullin Lacy – WR39

Over the last two seasons, Lacy ran 79.6-94.4% of his routes from the slot. Lacy will be a slot receiver in the NFL as well. His route tree in college consisted of a heavy dose of screens, outs, swings, and drags. Lacy is dynamic with the ball in his hands. Last year, he churned out 8.0 yards after the catch per reception while also ranking 14th in missed tackles forced.

96) Sawyer Robertson – QB13

Robertson has the look of a career backup that will operate in a quick-passing and screen-heavy offense (hello, Denver). Most of Robertson’s passes in his final season at Baylor consisted of first-read quick hitters, in-breakers, and screens. He has a clean throwing motion with a quick release to operate in this type of system. He operated in a system that routinely asked him to hit his first read or his checkdown without forcing him to operate with pure progression or even half-field reads. Robertson will have to deal with defenders jumping his routes in the NFL because of how badly he stares down his first read on many plays. Robertson has sufficient arm strength to operate in the short and intermediate areas of the field. He lacks that extra gear with his arm and is a max-effort thrower. He plays more like a 5’11” quarterback than one standing at 6’4″. His deep ball is ok, but nothing to write home about. His wide receivers are left waiting for the targets many times. With boundary nine routes, he lacks arch on the ball, preferring to toss back shoulder balls all day. This could be related to his touch, his arm strength, or a combination of the two. Little second-level layering of the ball is seen in his film. Most of his throws are thrown on a line. Robertson is a “see it, throw it” quarterback. Robertson has the mobility to offer some off-script ability, but he lacks the willingness. With the high reliance on quick hitters and first reads in college, when that first option is unavailable, he can get antsy in the pocket. His pocket awareness has to improve to operate in the NFL. He’s late to feel the rush many times and will bail or spin out of the pocket if he does feel the heat. There are some instances of him climbing the ladder when the pocket is collapsing, but it’s not frequent enough.

97) Luke Altmyer – QB14

He’s at his best with a quick passing game where he can grip and rip swiftly to his receivers, playing point guard from the pocket. Altmyer’s ball placement can wax and wane. He can be a streaky passer with solid ball placement that falls off with him tossing balls behind his receivers, putting them in harm’s way. He’s a see-it-throw-it passer with few anticipatory moments from the pocket. This leads his trigger to be slow at times as he waits for his receivers to uncover well before ripping a pass. Altmyer operated in a collegiate offense that was reliant upon first reads and screens. He has zero issues forcing the ball to his first read, even if they are covered tightly. I appreciate aggressiveness with passers and giving their guys chances to win at the catch point, but Altmyer can be borderline reckless with this at times. His pocket awareness isn’t great. Altmyer can look like a frog in a pot of boiling water at times. By the time he realizes the walls are closing in, it is too late.

98) Josh Cuevas – TE20

Cuevas projects as a solid all-around TE2 with low-end starting upside. He has a strong frame with a thick lower half. He’s not an explosive mover in his routes or after the catch, but he has the functional strength to break tackles with the ball in his hands. Cuevas is a solid inline blocker. He doesn’t have the lateral agility to deal with speed rushers on the edge consistently, but if you’re just asking him to chip, combo block defenders, and sustain his patch of grass, he’ll get the job done. He has tight hips, which will prevent him from excelling in short area routes with suddenness, but he uncovers fairly well considering. Cuevas is mainly a dump-and-run tight end that can create enough separation against zone coverage to operate as a dependable option.

99) Lance Mason – TE21

Mason operated as an inline tight end with 52.9% of his snaps in 2025. He has a decent 4.71 40-yard dash speed, but he lacks explosive athleticism, with a vertical jump and broad jump failing to eclipse the 58th percentile. Mason has solid burst off the line, but his long speed is average. He doesn’t change directions or throttle down well. He can appear lumbering when he’s asked to run a whip route. Mason will allow his momentum to carry him out of bounds on crossing routes at times. If he were a better athlete, he could slow down and turn upfield and generate more yards after the catch. Mason was mainly a hitch route/ flat route king operating as a chain-moving possession receiver in the Wisconsin offense. He had only one missed tackle forced in 2025, with 5.6 yards after the catch per reception.

100) CJ Donaldson – RB26

Donaldson is an early down thumper and should be an early down committee option for an NFL team. He has modest burst and acceleration. He has the frame to handle the early down and interior running beating. Donaldson won’t be a home run hitter in the NFL or make many highlight reels, but he can deploy the occasional juke move and catch defenders napping. He’s a downhill, power back with the ability to get what is blocked and sometimes more.
