Prospect/Position/School Ht/Wt Testing Brief synopsis
1. Sonny Styles, LB Ohio State TBD TBD Styles, a former safety, jumps off the film as a block deconstructor. He is a rare athlete for his size, showcasing elite range, sound tackling ability, and coverage instincts that are only going to improve with more reps. He projects as a starting MIKE with an All-Pro caliber skill set.
2. Jeremiyah Love, RB Notre Dame TBD TBD Love is an exciting runner with excellent burst, contact balance, and vision to quickly turn a short gain into a chunk-yardage play, with receiving upside and the willingness to pass protect. He sets up his blocks at a pro level and is a dynamic threat defenses will need to game plan against to slow down.
3. Caleb Downs, S Ohio State TBD TBD Downs is a floor raiser for a defense with elite instincts playing at multiple levels of it, He has the strength to defend tight ends and play in the box and is a heat seeking missile who is involved in nearly every play. He wore multiple hats at the college level and projects as a low-hole safety who can erase the middle of the field and roll down as an extra box defender on run downs.
4. Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE Miami (FL) TBD TBD Bain is a hell-raiser who has unbelievable power behind his hands with excellent pursuit speed and explosiveness as a pass rusher and run defender. Arm length be damned, Bain has the skill set and strength to play as a three-technique and the explosiveness and power to stick as a 4-3 defensive end.
5. Arvell Reese, LB Ohio State TBD TBD Reese burst onto the scene this season as an explosive, relentless player who has impressive pop behind his hands, elite run-and-chase ability, and eye-popping closing speed as a QB spy and flat-coverage defender. Defining his role as either a pass rusher or off-ball linebacker will be key, but he’s at his best attacking downhill to chase down quarterbacks and ball carriers.
6. Fernando Mendoza, QB Indiana TBD TBD Mendoza has an adequate NFL arm, but has sharp accuracy, is willing to deliver passes in the pocket even as it closes around him, and the mental processing to handle the rigors of being an NFL quarterback. Though he’s not an elite athlete, he has functional mobility to make plays with his legs or extend them to find receivers downfield.
7. Francis Mauigoa, OT Miami TBD TBD Mauigoa is a dancing bear at offensive tackle who has excellent grip strength, plays with a nasty demeanor as a run blocker, and is smooth in his mirroring ability as a pass protector. He doesn’t have elite length or athleticism but is technically sound as a blocker and can excel at guard or tackle in the NFL.
8. Kenyon Sadiq, TE Oregon TBD TBD Sadiq does not profile like some of the first-round tight ends before him, but he’s an elite athlete who is willing to do the dirty work as a blocker. He is also dynamic when the ball is in his hands and in the red zone. He immediately brings upside as a pass catcher on the vertical plane and has a filled-out frame that can handle the physicality of the position, in-line and flexed out.
9. Jermod McCoy, CB Tennessee TBD TBD Despite missing all of 2025 with an injury, McCoy has the best mix of a patience in man coverage and the ability to manipulate quarterbacks in zone coverage. His ability to throttle down and drive on throws outside the numbers separates him from other cornerbacks in this draft class.
10. Carnell Tate, WR Ohio State TBD TBD Tate made a major jump in his route running in 2025, excelling one-on-one against defensive backs and utilizing his varied releases at the line of scrimmage. He can also play above the rim on throws downfield. He has enough speed to win vertically and while he won’t make many players miss in the open field, he creates separation with ease and makes throwing windows for his quarterbacks much wider.
11. Jordyn Tyson, WRArizona State TBD TBD Tyson has the quickness and size to be a three-level threat at the NFL level, though he has often been injured throughout his college career. He is extremely competitive at the catch point, can make catches in a crowd of defenders, and can win as a route runner as a slot receiver and outside receiver. If he can quell some of the injury concerns, he could be the first receiver taken in April’s draft.
12. Spencer Fano, OT/OGUtah TBD TBD A three-year starter who played both tackle spots, Fano really came into his own at right tackle, showcasing excellent grip strength and pad leverage. He has enough athleticism to mirror pass rushers and utilizes his hands well in pass pro. His lean build and body type could give him problems against NFL d-linemen. Still, Fano is a skilled pass protector and can thrive in a wide-zone style of offense.
13. Mansoor Delane, CBLSU TBD TBD Delane has extremely patient feet and rarely panics in man or zone coverage and has a nose for the football. After an up-and-down 2024 season at Virginia Tech, Delane was dominant in 2025. On top of that, he is a willing tackler on run downs. Long speed is a big question for Delane, who was noticeably a step behind faster receivers, but he can excel in press or off-man coverage and rarely allowed completions while playing on an island for LSU.
14. Keldric Faulk, EDGE Auburn TBD TBD Faulk is an enigma in this draft given his lack of pass-rushing production, but he played on a defensive front that focused more on containing than attacking. Despite the pass-rushing questions, Faulk excels as a run defender and has powerful hands and length to create separation from offensive linemen. While his pass-rushing skills need to improve, Faulk is only 20 and has the tools and skill set to develop into a well-rounded player.
15. David Bailey, EDGETexas Tech TBD TBD Bailey has elite first-step quickness and snap-count timing to wreck plays as both a run defender and pass rusher, and getting after the quarterback will be his specialty at the NFL level. He’s not super flexible turning the corner and doesn’t always hold the point of attack on the edge as a run defender, but he’s a relentless pass rusher who can win inside and outside and has double-digit sack ability at the NFL level.
16. Olaivavega Ioane, OGPenn State TBD TBD Ioane is a mauling offensive lineman who generates power behind his hands, especially as a run blocker. He consistently creates running lanes with his physicality and torque and has functional athleticism to move in space and climb to the second level. His ability to handle power in the passing game is a standout attribute, and while he can handle speedier rushers in the interior better, he projects as an NFL starting guard from Day 1.
17. Kadyn Proctor, OTAlabama TBD TBD Proctor is another prospect who has many split on whether he can turn into a reliable starting tackle or guard, but the skill set, length, and athleticism all pop for the big offensive lineman. When Proctor gets his hands on edge rushers and defensive tackles first, he has the power and size to overwhelm defenders. But his blocking technique and pad level are inconsistent down to down and his uneven play makes him a bit of a question mark transitioning to the NFL.
18. Makai Lemon, WRUSC TBD TBD Lemon does most of his damage from the slot, but he has excellent concentration and body control on downfield passes, and he can force missed tackles at a high level after the catch with his short-area explosiveness. He doesn’t have elite breakaway speed and does not project as an outside receiver, but his play strength and ability to make catches in traffic give him a chance to be extremely productive early in his NFL career.
19. KC Concepcion, WRTexas A&M TBD TBD Concepcion is an explosive player who can generate big gains after the catch and is a natural vertical field stretcher from the slot or as an outside receiver. He snaps off his routes and accelerates with the ball in his hands, but he needs to add play strength and clean up drops. Still, Concepcion is a three-level threat at receiver who has dynamic, game-altering speed.
20. Monroe Freeling, OT Georgia TBD TBD Freeling only started for one full season in Athens, but he is an excellent athlete with light feet in pass protection. He can also climb to the second level and block in space in the run game. While his hands can get more consistent in pass protection and get stronger to handle heavier edge rushers, Freeling has a desirable skill set to contend with some of the best athletes at the NFL level, especially in pass protection.
21. Peter Woods, DTClemson TBD TBD Woods is an explosive defensive tackle who can slip blocks in the run game and win in one-on-one situations as a pass rusher. He took a major step back in his productivity and effectiveness in 2025 while frequently playing out of position (as a nose tackle), but Woods is still a really talented player and potential starting 3-technique with much room to grow.
22. Cashius Howell, EDGE Texas A&M TBD TBD Howell may have short arms, but he’s an explosive and relentless pass rusher who has the bend and pass-rush arsenal to thrive as a DPR at the NFL level. He also has the ability to drop into coverage, which will make him a scheme fit for teams looking for outside linebackers, but his lack of length and power shows up in the run game and against more powerful tackles.
23. Caleb Lomu, OTUtah TBD TBD Lomu is a skilled pass protector with quick, nimble feet, recovery ability, and a player who can refit his hands after they’re knocked off by pass rushers. Lomu has the athleticism to move in pass protection and play on an island against speed and power rushers. His play strength needs to improve as evidenced by his inconsistency in maintaining run blocks and generating movement at the line of scrimmage.
24. Aveion Terrell, CBClemson TBD TBD Terrell is a smaller defensive back who struggles when matched up against bigger wideouts and tight ends but is competitive at the catch point, has good zone-coverage instincts to close on routes developing in front of him, and has some nickel versatility to his game. He’s also a willing tackler and excelled at punching the ball out of ball carriers’ hands last season. He can play multiple roles in a secondary.
25. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo TBD TBD McNeil-Warren is an explosive safety who can run the alley in run support, has short-area coverage ability, and good instincts in a robber and two-high safety structure. He also has excellent ball skills in generating takeaways, both by interceptions and forcing fumbles. His tackling and tackling angles can improve, and he’s likely not a fit in a one-high safety defense, but McNeil-Warren has the makings of an impactful coverage player from Day 1 in the NFL.
26. R Mason Thomas, EDGE Oklahoma TBD TBD Thomas is an explosive, undersized pass rusher with a relentless motor and the athleticism and bend to win high side against offensive tackles and beat them to the inside, too. He’s got some length issues that show up in the run game, but his effort and motor allow him to still make plays against the run. He projects as a DPR at the NFL level.
27. Denzel Boston, WR Washington TBD TBD Boston is a big receiver who can win vertically and thrives at the catch point with his strong hands and impressive body control on jump balls. He won’t be for every team because he’s not an elite separator nor does he have elite speed. But he consistently moved the chains in college, and his catch radius will make it difficult for teams to guard him in the NFL.
28. Caleb Banks, DTFlorida TBD TBD Banks only played in three games in 2025 and did not always look like the dominant player he was in 2024, but he’s an explosive player for his size. He also has incredible length and power to push interior offensive linemen back at the line of scrimmage. Banks looked like the player people were expecting to see in 2025 at the Senior Bowl, winning with length and quickness, and he has the skill set to be a three-down difference maker if he can clean up his pad level and become more consistent.
29. Kayden McDonald, DT Ohio State TBD TBD McDonald is a massive space eater with the knock-back power to disrupt running plays and the quickness to beat reach blocks. He pushes the pocket frequently on true drop-back passing situations. He needs to have a better pass-rush approach other than bull rushing and trying to knock interior linemen backward, but he has resetting-the-line-of-scrimmage power and pop behind his hands on running downs.
30. Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon TBD TBD Thieneman has excellent coverage instincts and ball production, does a nice job running the alley as a run defender, and played multiple secondary roles across his time at Purdue and Oregon. He’s at his best playing a robber role, working top down and closing on balls thrown in front of him. His general athleticism is a big question that needs answered at the Combine, but he’s got the instincts, ball skills, and physicality to be a box safety at the NFL level.
31. Omar Cooper Jr., WR Indiana TBD TBD Cooper primarily operates as a slot receiver, but he has the speed to run by defensive backs and is tough to bring down in the open field after the catch. Cooper has strong hands at the catch point and terrific body control, making catches through contact and with defenders draped all over him. He doesn’t have a diverse route tree and doesn’t command many, if any, outside receiver targets. But he’s a receiver who will thrive on vertical throws and win one-on-one matchups in the slot against nickels and safeties.
32. CJ Allen, LBGeorgia TBD TBD Allen is a physical player with terrific instincts to react sideline to sideline and cover a lot of ground as a run defender and in coverage. He can still improve his eye discipline and getting more depth on his pass-coverage drops. He excels at slipping blocks inside the box on run downs and can be more forceful in his block deconstruction, but he’s got the skill set and instincts to become an instant contributor on an NFL defense.
33. T.J. Parker, EDGEClemson TBD TBD Parker is a no-nonsense pass rusher who wants a runway to utilize both speed-to-power conversions and his long arm to push offensive tackles into the lap of their quarterback. He’s a physical run defender as well, willing to take on pulling linemen and using his strong hands to stack and shed in the run game. Though he’s a pretty stiff player turning the corner and needs to build on his power profile as a pass rusher, Parker is a productive pass rusher who can thrive as a 4-3 defensive end.
34. Akheem Mesidor, EDGE Miami (FL) TBD TBD Mesidor, who turns 25 in early April, is an older prospect but has violent, active hands as a pass rusher. He is also savvy enough that if he doesn’t win his initial rush with speed, he can counter and win on an inside track. He has the best pass-rush arsenal in the draft and has a relentless motor as a pass rusher and run defender. He’s not super physical stacking and shedding blocks, and his best wins usually come from working inside counters. But Mesidor projects as an immediate contributor to an edge rusher room with a complementary skill set.
35. Blake Miller, OTClemson TBD TBD Miller has been an outstanding pass protector for the last two seasons at Clemson with light feet and a vice grip to stop pass rushers in his tracks. He’s made his most strides as a run blocker, consistently cutting off front and backside defensive linemen and climbing to the second level. His core can get even stronger and he needs to fill out his lower body to generate more initial movement at the line of scrimmage, but he’s a player who can sneak into the back end of Round 1 with a strong pre-draft process.
36. D’Angelo Ponds, CB Indiana TBD TBD Pound for pound, there may not be a more physical and fearless player in the draft than Ponds, who is a ball magnet and a willing tackler despite being undersized. He will give up catches to bigger wideouts and isn’t blazing fast out of his back pedal, but has excellent recovery speed, zone coverage instincts, and ball skills. He may be a candidate to move to nickel, but he’s a good enough athlete with the confidence to start in the secondary in the NFL.
37. Josiah Trotter, LBMissouri TBD TBD Trotter has NFL lineage and plays like it as a physical, throwback linebacker who can shed blocks and get after the quarterback in blitzing scenarios. His coverage eyes and route recognition still need some development but if you’re looking for a downhill thumper who will be a menace as a run defender and set the tone in the middle of your defense, Trotter is your type of player.
38. Lee Hunter, DTTexas Tech TBD TBD Hunter is a big, run-stuffing defensive tackle who is hard to block and can wreak havoc on interior offensive lines from multiple alignments. He has functional athleticism and utilizes his length to lock out, stack and shed on run downs. He’s a limited athlete who doesn’t bring much pass-rushing juice, but his motor and playmaking as a run defender will get him on the field early in his career.
39. Chris Bell, WRLouisville TBD TBD If not for injury, Bell would have a strong case as one of the best wide receiver prospects in the draft. His size and explosiveness allow him to win jump-ball, 50/50 passes and to create for himself after the catch. He’s not an elite route runner and often uses his size to box out smaller defensive backs or just runs right by them. But he’s a legit vertical threat and dynamo with the ball in his hands and should be an impactful rookie as long as he fully recovers from his torn ACL.
40. Ty Simpson, QBAlabama TBD TBD Simpson was a first-year starter who didn’t look quite the same down the stretch of the season as opposed to earlier in the year, but he has the arm talent, processing, and accuracy. He needs more experience and to be a more consistent decision maker under pressure, but Simpson, if he lands with a team that doesn’t ask him to start right away, can turn into an above-average NFL starter.
41. Chase Bisontis, OGTexas A&M TBD TBD Bisontis is a physical interior lineman who has active hands to hand fight in pass protection, and quick feet to mirror in pass protection, and he consistently climbs to the second level in the running game. He sometimes gets overextended when his pad level is too high and doesn’t always root out defensive linemen in one-on-one blocking situations. But his functional athleticism, physical blocking demeanor, and balance as a pass protector will give him a chance to start as a rookie.
42. Gabe Jacas, EDGEIllinois TBD TBD Jacas is a densely framed edge rusher with heavy hands to knock back offensive linemen. He also has enough wiggle to beat tackles on their outside shoulder. He can pass rush from the interior and from the edge, and though he doesn’t offer much explosiveness to bend the corner, he has the power to reduce the pocket and sets a firm edge on run downs.
43. Christen Miller, DTGeorgia TBD TBD Miller has powerful hands and a strong upper body, allowing him to lock out, stack and shed offensive linemen. He particularly excels at splitting double-team blocks. He will excel in early downs as a run defender, with the ability to maintain his gap and defeat double-team blocks. He may never become a game-wrecking pass rusher, but he has enough juice to be a three-down NFL player.
44. Billy Schrauth, OGNotre Dame TBD TBD Injury limited Schrauth to just seven games in 2025, but the left guard showed a sturdy anchor, run displacement ability as a combo and one-on-one blocker, and nice strain ability. He started games at both guard spots at Notre Dame, and while he lacks the foot quickness to consistently climb to the second level as a run blocker, he’s got starter-level traits and rarely allows pressure.
45. Jadarian Price, RBNotre Dame TBD TBD Price is a sturdy, downhill runner who sets up his blocks nicely at the second and third levels of a defense and can make defenders miss in the open field. He isn’t a burner but accelerates through contact and can hit a second gear in the open field. His pass protection and receiving opportunities were limited playing behind Jeremiyah Love, but Price projects as a change-of-pace back for a team that employs a running back by committee approach.
46. Treydan Stukes, CB/S Arizona TBD TBD Stukes has some of the best ball skills of any defensive back in the draft. He showcased them while playing multiple roles in Arizona’s defense, including safety and nickel. Stukes has good recovery speed, mirroring ability, and physicality at the catch point. The former walk-on has long-speed questions and durability (torn ACL in 2024) but has the skill set to be an NFL starting nickel.
47. Keylan Rutledge, OG Georgia Tech TBD TBD Rutledge is one of the most physically imposing players in this draft as a run-blocking mauler who possesses strong hands and torque to move defensive linemen against their will. He clears space when he pulls across the line of scrimmage. His lack of foot speed, athleticism, and redirect skills in pass protection won’t make him a fit for every team, but he would be an excellent addition to gap-scheme NFL teams.
48. Colton Hood, CBTennessee TBD TBD Hood is a physical press man cover corner who transitions smoothly out of his back pedal and consistently got his hands on the football in 2025. He also is a willing tackler and embraces contact on the perimeter, showing nice skills stacking and shedding. His zone-coverage eyes and discipline can improve — he is overeager at times to break on a pass before the ball is thrown — and he can clean up his missed tackles in space. Hood projects best in a man-coverage scheme, utilizing his physicality and length to disrupt a receiver’s timing.
49. Brandon Cisse, CBSouth Carolina TBD TBD Cisse is a speedy cover corner who can run hip to hip on vertical throws and can flip his hips and close on passes in the boundary and over the middle of the field. He’s not great with his press man-coverage jam technique and has trouble at times finding the football when his back is turned to it. But he is worth taking a shot on as a developmental corner with traits and upside.
50. Max Iheanachor, OT Arizona State TBD TBD Iheanachor is still relatively new to playing football but has promising athletic traits, size, arm length, and lateral quickness to mirror pass rushers and to cut off backside and frontside defensive linemen. His hand placement, strike timing, and core strength all need time to improve and develop, and he does not consistently maintain one-on-one blocks, but Iheanachor has tools to eventually develop into a quality NFL starter.
51. Chris Brazzell II, WR Tennessee TBD TBD Brazzell is an explosive athlete who thrives on a vertical plane and provides more nuance than your typical Tennessee wide receiver. He can sink his hips and run crisp routes and has strong hands at the catch point. He doesn’t have many routes in his route tree yet because of the offense he played in and was inconsistent attacking the football on passes over the middle of the field. Still, he can immediately upgrade an offense with his natural field-stretching ability and can create after the catch.
52. Derrick Moore, EDGE Michigan TBD TBD Moore is a speed-to-power savant who can win across multiple alignments and has the length to stack and shed as a run defender. The power doesn’t always show up in the run game, but Moore is an effective, explosive pass rusher who can be a nice complementary piece in a defensive line room.
53. Chris Johnson, CBSan Diego State TBD TBD Johnson is a sticky coverage player in man and zone coverages, and is competitive at the catch point, even if he gives up some size and strength. His long speed wasn’t tested much at San Diego State and was exposed a few times at the Senior Bowl. Also, he doesn’t always find the ball cleanly while he’s in coverage phase, but he’s a scheme versatile player who has starter-level traits for an NFL secondary.
54. Genesis Smith, Safety Arizona TBD TBD Smith flies to the football and excels at running the alley to fill running lanes along with showcasing one-high safety coverage capability. His ball production and range stood out at Arizona, but he had a glaring missed tackle rate. They were often a result of the poor angles he is prone to taking and attacking downhill recklessly. If teams can live with his missed tackles at times, Smith can be a ball-hawking single-high safety.
55. Malachi Fields, WRNotre Dame TBD TBD Fields is a big-bodied receiver with solid athleticism and field-stretching ability. Because he is a taller receiver, he doesn’t always sink his hips well in and out of route-running breaks and often has to make jump ball receptions downfield because he is a build-up acceleration type of player. But he is a fantastic ball winner with excellent body control and reliable hands to win 50/50 throws downfield.
56. LT Overton, EDGEAlabama TBD TBD Overton is a big, physical defensive lineman who can play from multiple alignments, has powerful hands and a nasty long arm on run downs, and has stack-and-shed ability. His best reps come as an interior defender rather than edge rusher since he lacks elite athleticism and bend to thrive on the perimeter. But he’s a physically imposing player with strong hands and power to be an excellent NFL run defender coupled with pocket-pushing power.
57. Emmanuel Pregnon, OG Oregon TBD TBD Pregnon is a stout offensive lineman with a strong anchor, power and leg drive in the run game. He also recognizes and passes off stunts with relative ease. He has some nice functional athleticism to move out in space and mirror against pass rushers. His pad level isn’t always consistent, and he doesn’t always consistently climb to the second level as a run blocker, but he has experience at both guard spots and has borderline NFL starter-level tape.
58. Germie Bernard, WR Alabama TBD TBD Bernard is a smooth, sudden athlete with the route-running feel to find the soft spots against zone coverage and generate enough separation while working in the boundary. He isn’t an overly explosive athlete, and his lack of a second gear will prevent him from being a primary receiving option. But his ability to create after the catch coupled with reliable, strong hands while working over the middle of the field will make him a nice WR2 or WR3 for an NFL team.
59. Davison Igbinosun, CB Ohio State TBD TBD Igbinosun is a physical outside corner who makes life difficult for opposing receivers. He disrupts timing by jamming receivers and altering their release path. He also has the length and linear speed to defend vertical passes downfield. He is feisty, competes at the catch point, and has excellent ball production. Penalties were a negative for him (21 over the last two years), but they have become far less of an issue in 2025. He projects best though in a zone coverage based scheme, where he can get his hands on receivers at the line of scrimmage and use his length to challenge throwing windows for quarterbacks.
60. Oscar Delp, TEGeorgia TBD TBD Despite underwhelming college production, Delp’s skill set as an explosive, yards-after-catch receiver with some blocking skills on the move will help him carve out an NFL role. He has nice route-running pace with enough speed to threaten the seams. He is neither strong enough nor has the blocking technique to be a full-time NFL in-line tight end, but his receiving ability will be valued by teams.
61. Jake Golday, LBCincinnati TBD TBD Golday is an excellent athlete who took most of his snaps in 2025 as an overhang defender. That will not be the ideal position for him in NFL. Still, it’s easy to see his twitchiness closing on ball carriers from depth and flowing to make tackles in space and behind the line of scrimmage. He also shows some promise as a middle-of-the-field coverage defender, but his block-deconstruction ability and feel in the box both need to improve. He projects as a WILL linebacker who can stay on the field on third downs in coverage as he continues to develop a better feel for playing inside the box.
62. Zakee Wheatley, SPenn State TBD TBD Wheatley was a bright spot during a rough Penn State season, showcasing consistency while filling downhill to run the alley, making plays as a single-high safety, and getting his hands on passes when he was targeted or in the area. He can come downhill a little too recklessly but does a nice job covering ground in coverage and as a run defender.
63. Kyle Louis, LB/SPittsburgh TBD TBD Louis is an explosive player though undersized for the linebacker position. He has tremendous instincts, closing speed, and route-recognition ability to undercut routes in man and zone coverages. He is fast enough to outrun blocks as a run defender, but not strong enough to stack and shed consistently. However, the coverage upside is too great for him to not find an NFL role as a dime linebacker or as a nickel.
64. Antonio Williams, WR Clemson TBD TBD Williams was banged up early in the 2025 season, but a team will find value in his field-stretching ability and winning one-on-one matchups primarily as a slot receiver. A willing blocker who excels attacking the middle of the field and vertically when matched up with safeties and nickels, Williams does his most damage after the catch.
65. Max Klare, TEOhio State TBD TBD Klare is a fluid mover with nice speed and athleticism to get open from tight and wideout alignments. He has the effort and technique to be a solid run blocker as well. He is not super dynamic after the catch and is a decent-but-not-great separator as a route runner but can win vertically and up the seam. He projects as a second or third option in a tight end room.
66. Keionte Scott, CBMiami (FL) TBD TBD Scott plays with his hair on fire, blows up screens and run plays, and is a physical coverage player who can force turnovers. That play style can get him in trouble with missed tackles and being out of position, but his ability to play multiple spots in the secondary and physicality working downhill gives him the chance to find an NFL role at either nickel or safety.
67. Caleb Tiernan, OT Northwestern TBD TBD Tiernan is a technically refined lineman with smooth feet. He consistently hits his targets as a run blocker and pass protector. His lack of length shows up against edge rushers, and he struggles to refit his hands after he’s knocked backward or out of position. He also doesn’t have great recovery skills, which could lead to a move to the interior. But he’s a quality player with spot level-starting skills. At worst, he can be a depth offensive tackle or interior lineman.
68. Gennings Dunker, OGIowa TBD TBD A three-year starter at right tackle for Iowa, Dunker displayed the power to displace defensive linemen in the run game and anchor down against power rushers. He lacks the foot quickness and recovery ability to last at tackle. That likely played a factor in Dunker getting Senior Bowl snaps at interior lineman, the best fits for his long-term future. If he can play with better pad level and consistency on a down-to-down basis, he can turn into an eventual starter on a gap-scheme running team.
69. A.J. Haulcy, SLSU TBD TBD Haulcy is a middle-of-the-field safety who is at his best attacking downhill and driving on passes developing in front of him. His ball skills, ability to run the alley and deliver jarring hits, and route recognition stand out. He will likely not be tasked with playing single-high coverages in the NFL and is an average man-coverage defender.
70. Zachariah Branch, WR Georgia TBD TBD Branch is an explosive player with the ball in his hands with the speed to take the top off a defense. But he is a tough evaluation because he was primarily used in passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. He’s also an undersized receiver who was not asked to play outside much or run the full route tree. His projection suggests he should at least be a productive NFL slot receiver who can continue to round out his game over time.
71. Garrett Nussmeier, QBLSU TBD TBD Expectations for Nussmeier’s 2025 season were not matched, but in a weak QB class, he has started to rehabilitate his draft stock with a strong impression during the Senior Bowl. He has an adequate arm and can make all the throws. He also has a lot of confidence attacking all areas of the field and negotiates the pocket well, but he struggles as a decision maker and too often doesn’t live to fight another down. He projects as an NFL spot starter/ backup.
72. Ted Hurst, WRGeorgia State TBD TBD A linear wide receiver who makes most of his money after the catch or in contested-catch situations, Hurst has the body type and speed to be an X receiver in the NFL. He had some concentration drops in 2025 and is not a big-time separator, but his long speed and strong hands will allow him to carve out an NFL role.
73. Domonique Orange, DT Iowa State TBD TBD Known as “Big Citrus,” Orange is a space-eating defensive tackle with heavy hands to knock back offensive linemen and adequate quickness to make plays in either gap when he aligns as nose tackle. Like most players of his skill set and size, he does not offer much as a pass rusher other than an occasional bull rush. Also, his lack of length shows up with missed tackles, but he projects as a run-stuffing nose tackle who can give an NFL defense an immediate boost on run downs.
74. Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE Penn State TBD TBD Dennis-Sutton is a linear player with heavy hands and enough juice to win in multiple alignments, including as a 4-3 defensive end and in reduced formations. He utilizes his length to stack and shed as a run defender, and though he primarily wins with push-pull pass rushes or speed to power, Dennis-Sutton is a reliable three-down player who can be a nice NFL EDGE2 or EDGE 3.
75. Keith Abney II, CB,Arizona State TBD TBD Abney is sticky in coverage and is extremely competitive at the catch point, though his average size at corner allows bigger and more nuanced route runners to take advantage of him. His off-coverage click-and-close ability stands out, and if his zone-coverage eyes and route-recognition skills continue to improve, he can be a nice complementary CB2 in the NFL.
