We’re rapidly hurtling toward the 2026 NFL draft, which starts April 23 in Pittsburgh. The combine just concluded in Indianapolis, and after a week of evaluating prospects in person, I’m ready to update my draft rankings.

Along with my time in Indy, the list below is based on film study and conversations I’ve had with NFL scouts and evaluators during this draft cycle. These rankings can still change between now and April as I review more game film and have follow-up conversations. Players will rise and fall between now and when the first round kicks off.

I included my scouting reports for each prospect in the top 50, and my rankings by position are at the bottom. Let’s get to it, starting with a player who performed really well at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 212

Love is an elite modern running back with true three-down skills. He has home run speed, with multiple 90-plus-yard runs in his college career. He’s also a skilled receiver, hauling in 64 catches and six touchdown receptions in his three seasons. But Love isn’t just a speed back. He can deliver violent hits at the point of attack and has the contact balance to bounce off tacklers and stay upright. With 4.36 speed and sweet open-field moves, Love is the closest thing to Reggie Bush as a prospect since he entered the NFL in 2006.

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 236

The top quarterback in the class, Mendoza is a prototypical pocket passer in the Jared Goff/Matt Ryan mold. He has good arm strength and quickly processes what he sees when scanning the field. After showing flashes at Cal, Mendoza dominated at Indiana last season, throwing 41 touchdown passes and six interceptions while rushing for six more scores. He has the frame to pick up short yardage on runs or scramble when the pocket breaks down, but Mendoza is at his best carving up defenses in the pocket. His timing, rhythm and field vision helped him complete 72% of his passes in 2025 and have him cemented atop the QB1 race.

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 206

Regarded as a top pro prospect since his freshman season at Alabama in 2023, Downs has developed into a special safety. He has the closing speed and range to patrol the secondary in coverage and the power to play in the box as a nickel linebacker or at the Star position. His physicality, speed and ability to take away top offensive players made him critical to the Buckeyes’ elite defense. Comparing Downs to Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu might feel extreme, but they have similar range and explosiveness.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 241

Reese wasn’t on the NFL draft radar before last season but shot up the board as one of the nation’s most productive and promising players. A hybrid defender who plays linebacker and edge rusher, there are obvious comparisons to Micah Parsons and Abdul Carter. Reese has the length, elite burst and power to be dangerous off the edge, as evidenced by his 6.5 sacks last season in a part-time edge role. His flexibility and athletic tools at a premium position could make Reese the first defender off the board.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 244

Styles fits the mold of the long, fast versatile linebacker prospect who is regularly drafted in the first round. His speed, length, power in his hands and range jump off the tape. And as a former safety, Styles knows how to turn and move in coverage, too. Though Arvell Reese got much of the Ohio State defensive attention last season, Styles produced 83 tackles and one interception and has shown pass-rush ability (six sacks in 2024). An elite combine performance — including a 43½-inch vertical jump and 4.46-second 40-yard dash — has put him in the top-five conversation.

---

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 250

Bailey was the nation’s most impactful defensive transfer, finishing last season with 14.5 sacks (tied for first in the FBS) after arriving from Stanford. He also had 71 pressures (tied for second in the FBS). Bailey’s first step causes problems for offensive tackles, and he counters well with leverage and strong hands. He is also relentless in pursuing the ball, which helped him rack up 23 tackles for loss last season. Bailey’s 4.5 40-yard dash and 33¾-inch arm length at the combine could tempt the Jets at No. 2.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 329

The top offensive lineman on my board, Mauigoa was a three-year starter at right tackle who played like a blue-chipper. He comes off the line of scrimmage with elite force and burst in the run game. His previous tape showed issues with inconsistent punch timing, but Mauigoa improved his technique last season, allowing only two sacks and six pressures. Some scouts see Mauigoa as a guard in the NFL due to his stocky frame, but his tape last season is that of a high-end tackle prospect with a grade similar to Darnell Wright, a top-10 pick by the Bears in 2023.

---

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 192

Lemon’s scouting report won’t contain platitudes about size, length or great track speed. Instead, he stands out due to his production (79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season), polish in the slot and ability to create space and accumulate targets across the middle. He is agile and tough, knows how to vary his routes and wins with tempo over pure speed — very similar to former Trojan Amon-Ra St. Brown. Some teams will see him as a scheme-specific fit, but St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba give Lemon a template for NFL success.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 192

Another year, another top-10 wide receiver prospect for the Buckeyes. Tate is a big receiver with elite contested-catch ability down the field, along with strong hands and body control that allow him to consistently win on 50-50 passes. Tate’s penchant for sitting in space and picking up tough yards makes him a pro-ready WR1. He might not have elite top-end speed, but Tate’s ability to box out defenders and create separation on routes makes him special.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 187

Delane starred at Virginia Tech for three seasons before transferring to LSU, where he emerged as the nation’s best cornerback. He doesn’t have elite length but simply makes plays, with two interceptions and only 10 catches allowed last season. Delane’s fluid movement, vision and quickness are a fantastic combination, and his recovery ability allows him to be a matchup cornerback in pretty much any scheme.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 263

Bain has produced since arriving on campus as a freshman, registering 7.5 sacks in 2023 and not looking back. He has combined power with first-step speed and strong hands to become a well-rounded, refined 5- or 6-technique defensive end. With an all-around game that reminds of Jared Verse, Bain is the most finished defensive line prospect in this class. He has to clean up the missed tackles, which occur when he closes to the ball with high leverage, and there will be questions about his subpar arm length of 30⅞ inches, but Bain’s tape shows the power and leverage to excel in the NFL.

---

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 188

McCoy didn’t play in 2025 because of a torn ACL suffered while training in January, but scouts are sufficiently enamored with his traits and previous film to consider him a first-round talent. He has ideal size, explosive hips and click-and-close ability that reminds me of Derek Stingley Jr.’s tape at LSU. Given that McCoy hasn’t played in over a year, there will be questions about his recovery timeline (which increased after he didn’t work out at the combine), but if he were graded purely on his 2024 tape, he’d be in the running to be the first corner drafted and a top-10 pick.

---

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 241

When scouts were at Oregon watching second-rounder Terrance Ferguson in the lead-up to the 2025 draft, they inevitably started talking about Sadiq, who could be drafted a round earlier than his former teammate. Sadiq is more of an elite route runner, with quickness and shifty moves, than a big-bodied tight end. Sadiq is best at creating separation with quickness and extending his frame on jump balls in the red zone, as shown by his eight touchdowns on 51 receptions last season.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 320

The top-ranked interior offensive lineman in the class, Ioane is a rock at left guard, with just two pressures and no sacks allowed in 11 games last season. He had 32 career starts and looks the part with poise and patience that can snap into violent, heavy hands in a hurry. Ioane generates elite power and has the lateral agility to excel in any scheme. He’s a mauling presence in the run game and had only three career penalties. His quickness to the second level and brawler mentality make him one of my favorite players in the class.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 203

Tyson is an X receiver prospect with size, speed and route-running savviness that scouts love. He can take the top off a defense with his vertical-stretch speed but is also adept at adjusting mid-sprint to the ball in flight. Despite missing four games and part of another because of a hamstring injury, Tyson had 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season after posting 75 catches, 1,101 yards and 10 TDs in 2024. He also reduced his drops, with only one on 100 targets after dropping eight passes the previous season.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 201

Thieneman is a productive, versatile safety with proven ball skills and eight career interceptions. After transferring from Purdue, Thieneman shined as the quarterback of Oregon’s secondary and proved his tools in deep coverage and playing in the box. A true free safety with 4.35 speed, Thieneman could be a top-20 pick thanks to his high football IQ and NFL readiness after three seasons as a college starter. Teams looking for a versatile, playmaking safety will love his tape.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 199

Cooper made the catch of the year with his acrobatic toe-tap in the back of the end zone for the winner touchdown against Penn State, but he’s much more than that highlight. Cooper is an elite route runner who moves well through traffic and dominates the middle of the field. His ability to pick up yards after the catch is equally impressive, which allowed him to rack up 937 yards and 13 touchdowns on 69 catches last season. Cooper has slot and outside alignment experience and versatility, making him an ideal No. 2 receiver.

---

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 298

Woods is a 3-technique defensive tackle with the quickness to be an immediate pocket disruptor in the NFL. He gets double-teamed a lot because offensive linemen struggle to match his first step in one-on-one situations. Woods has the strength to counter that, accumulating five career sacks and 42 hurries despite the extra attention. Though his lack of sack production could limit his upside for some teams, Woods’ position-specific traits are good enough to make him a top-20 pick.

---

19. CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 230

Allen is the ideal middle linebacker in a modern defensive scheme, packing a punch as a hitter when arriving at the ball and showing the fast processing skills to easily flow to the ball on inside and outside runs. Besides their shared school, it’s easy to see why he is compared to Roquan Smith, as they have similar coverage instincts and burst when keying on the ball. Allen is also tough, returning for the Georgia Tech game two weeks after suffering a knee injury.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 201

McNeil-Warren is not a small-time prospect, even though he played at a Group of 5 school. He had two interceptions, three forced fumbles and five passes defensed last season while setting a career high with 77 tackles. Despite an average showing at the combine with a 4.52 40-yard dash and a 35½-inch vertical jump, McNeil-Warren’s tape shows the closing speed, size, toughness and range to be an effective box safety with coverage upside. He also caused nine fumbles in his college career — something we love to see.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 311

When Caleb Lomu arrived at Utah, Fano flipped from left tackle to right tackle and thrived. Some NFL scouts see him as a candidate to move to the interior as a guard or center, given his lack of size and his elite run-blocking traits, but Fano more than held things down at tackle the past two seasons, allowing only one sack. He is perfect for a zone scheme, with his explosive first-step ability and a violent finish that result in plenty of pancakes.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 212

A big-play boundary receiver, Boston has elite size and speed with explosive burst off the line of scrimmage. That makes him an ideal X receiver and a dangerous vertical threat. He has been a consistent performer, registering 125 catches for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns combined over the past two seasons. But Boston’s concentration and hand strength might be his most impressive traits, as he had only three drops on 198 targets since 2024.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 313

A pass rusher eraser, Lomu did not allow a sack in 12 starts last season while yielding only six pressures in his second year starting at left tackle. His toughness and elite lateral quickness are notable, but Lomu’s best trait is how well he opens his hips to recover against speedy pass rushers with his long, lean frame. Many teams want him to add strength and bulk to his frame, but he’s an ideal fit for zone schemes.

---

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 186

The younger brother of Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr., Avieon Terrell is a sudden and versatile player who can make an impact in the slot or out wide. He has elite ball production, with three sacks and five forced fumbles last season and 21 pass breakups dating to 2024. Despite lacking elite size, Terrell undercuts routes well and has the closing speed to impact the ball in the air. He’s not an outside press corner but has the quickness to excel as a nickel or slot defender.

---

Height: 6-7 | Weight: 315

Freeling’s movement skills, agility and quickness were easy to see in his one season as a starter and carried over to his combine workout. Freeling posted an impressive 4.93 40-yard dash at 315 pounds, and his tape against elite SEC pass rushers matched what we saw in Indianapolis. A true left tackle, his pass protection upside is very high and points to a future as a rock-solid starter.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 327

Banks didn’t make the initial top 50 after playing in only three games last season because of a foot injury. A fantastic Senior Bowl week started his rise onto the list before he aced the combine with a 5.04 40 time at 327 pounds. Banks’ movement and power are elite for his size, making him the ideal nose tackle prospect, but he also has enough up-field push to be a factor against the pass.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 276

Teams that run a base 4-3 or 3-4 defense will like what they see on Faulk’s tape. He is a versatile defensive lineman who can anchor against double-teams, set the edge in run defense and explode into gaps with first-step quickness. Faulk has been inconsistent rushing the passer (two sacks last season compared with seven in 2024), but his ability to win with leverage, power or speed is enticing. He’ll enter the NFL with high-end run-defense tools and the traits to develop into a quality power rusher.

---

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 253

The SEC leader in sacks last season (11.5), Howell has risen from a Day 3 prospect with a great motor and limited upside to a potential starter for 3-4 defenses. His size won’t endear him to every team, but his explosive bend around the edge plays well in a stand-up role where his natural leverage and speed can win. Shorter arms (30¼ inches) and a smaller frame might lead to a later draft-day result, but Howell can flat-out play.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 189

Cisse profiles as a man coverage cornerback, with the size and speed to cover the boundary. He had only one interception last season after transferring from NC State but allowed only 13 receptions and a completion percentage of 39.4% when targeted. His length allows him to limit targets, then eliminate their impact with his closing speed. Cisse is a dream in a man scheme, thanks to his sticky coverage, fluid hips and elite change-of-direction skills.

---

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 259

Mesidor is a productive, smart edge rusher with the fast-rush tools and pro-ready moves to make an instant impact. He’s an older prospect (25 years old) and has less-than-ideal measurables, but his finesse rush moves are well developed, and he produced 58 pressures with 12.5 sacks in a breakout 2025 season. While he might be best suited in a stand-up pass rusher role, Mesidor’s pursuit skills and motor would be perfect in a 3-4 defense.

---

Height: 6-7 | Weight: 317

A 54-game starter at right tackle, Miller comes to the NFL battle-tested and with 34-inch arms that show up throughout his tape. He steadily improved throughout his four seasons at Clemson, allowing only two sacks and nine pressures last season. With high-end quickness and lateral movement ability, Miller fits in zone schemes and has the recovery agility to make up for missed punches in pass protection. He profiles as a high-floor starting right tackle.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 196

No matter where he has played (he started at NC State before transferring), Concepcion has produced. He had 185 catches for 2,218 yards and 25 touchdowns in three seasons and is a dangerous punt returner (two touchdowns last season). His size will typecast him as a slot receiver, but Concepcion has Tank Dell qualities, such as elite quickness and top-end burst. He could be a big contributor immediately in an offense that values yards after the catch on underneath routes.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 262

Young was productive in two seasons at Missouri after transferring from Michigan State. He’s a powerful, edge-setting presence who had 6.5 sacks and 46 pressures last season while alternating between the left and right edge spots. He’s a long, powerful 4-3 prototype with 33-inch arms and active hands that allow him to separate from blockers. Young’s closing speed is better than his first step, but his relentless backfield penetration against SEC offensive linemen has stood out.

---

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 193

It took a while for Hood to find his home, as he spent time at Auburn and Colorado before landing at Tennessee last offseason. But the redshirt sophomore thrived with the Vols, intercepting one pass in 2025 while holding opposing quarterbacks to a QBR of 40.1. Hood’s length and speed fit well in man-coverage defenses, and he’s punchy in press. That fiery demeanor, coupled with his jump-ball ability, makes him a potential Round 1 player.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 318

A plug in the middle of the defense, Hunter is a scheme-wrecking nose tackle with the tools to be a two-gapping run-stuffer with alignment versatility. Hunter jumped off the tape last season with productive edge rushers flanking him, showing the length and leverage to dominate with a bull-rush move or to lock-out advancing blockers in the run game. Hunter might never be a high-end pass-rushing tackle, but he’s a premier anchor for 3-4 defenses.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 326

I rarely put nose tackle prospects in Round 1 consideration, but I’m making an exception for McDonald. He is impactful against the run with his anchor strength, but he also has the necessary quickness and leverage to be a pocket-collapsing menace. McDonald had three sacks and nine pressures on 223 pass-rush snaps while posting 67 tackles and 17 run stops. He can fit in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 263

Parker reemerged after a three-sack performance in the season finale against South Carolina, but his stock tailed off after he registered 11 sacks in 2024. He seemed primed for a top-10 ranking then, and though that hasn’t held up, he still flashes high-end potential and traits. Parker has the power and heavy hands to be an effective 4-3 defensive end and can consistently beat double-teams to set the edge in run defense.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 238

Hill is a versatile box-score stuffer, with four sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions last season after racking up eight sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception in 2024 as an attacking middle linebacker. He plays three downs, and there are scouts who wanted to see Hill play more edge last season. That could be his NFL future once teams see his athletic tools and burst in person. Hill sometimes struggles with processing speed, but his high-end traits help his positioning in these rankings.

---

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 211

Simpson quickly moved up draft boards thanks to his command and super-fast processing ability from the pocket. He doesn’t have elite size or arm strength, but he can pick apart defenses with great accuracy — he had a 64.5% completion percentage with 28 touchdown passes and five interceptions. Despite having only 15 career starts, Simpson plays with the instincts and poise of a much more seasoned player. Teams must dive in on why his first nine games were elite and his final six weren’t, and scouts typically want to see quarterbacks with more starts. But Simpson’s accuracy, anticipation and ability to read the field could put him in Round 1.

---

Height: 6-7 | Weight: 352

With his size and elite movement ability, Proctor is impossible to miss. That’s why he was a preseason favorite on many NFL draft watchlists, but Proctor is a tough evaluation. Based on just traits, he looks like a top-five pick, but his tape has been inconsistent over the past two seasons, showing uneven leverage, poor conditioning and too many blown blocks. He could develop into an All-Pro player, thanks to his power and agility, but his tape is polarizing enough to keep him out of the top 32.

---

Height: 5-9 | Weight: 182

Pound-for-pound one of the best players in the class, Ponds is a nightmare for offenses from a slot or outside cornerback alignment. He seemed to make a highlight-reel play weekly last season. With two blocked punts, two interceptions and a forced fumble, he was all over the field during the Hoosiers’ title run. Ponds doesn’t have elite measurables, but his instincts, toughness and 43½-inch vertical jump allow him to play bigger than listed.

---

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 241

An undersized speed rusher, Thomas has the quickness off the corner to be a high-end stand-up rusher with Nik Bonitto-like ability. There will be questions about his lack of bulk and length, but at just 21 years old there’s room for him to further develop a power game. Thomas’ calling card is his elite bend and speed — something that would be a value to teams that run 3-4 defenses.

---

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 239

The recent trend of super-sized middle linebackers like Jack Campbell continues with Golday. He has the wingspan to take away passing lanes in the middle of the field and the quickness to pursue sideline to sideline and stick with tight ends in man coverage. Golday’s breakout senior season saw him notch 104 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

---

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 218

A super-sized wide receiver prospect, Fields made the most of his targets with 15 touchdowns over his last three seasons with Virginia and Notre Dame. Fields lacks high-end speed (4.61) but is a true X receiver who wins with size and strength at the point of attack and excels in jump-ball situations. While he profiles as a likely No. 2 receiver, Fields has untapped potential that could develop him into a star.

---

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 203

The second-best running back in the class was the backup to the top-ranked one. Price is an all-around back with power and the burst to quickly turn small openings into big gains. His long speed stands out, but his shifty side-to-side moves are just as impressive. A zone-heavy offensive scheme would fit well with his great vision and jump-cut speed, as well as his upside as a receiver. Price can make an impact as a returner, too, with three career punt return touchdowns.

---

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 321

A massive right tackle prospect, Iheanachor started 31 games over the past three seasons and is still developing his all-around game. His traits are the appeal, as Iheanachor has pro-ready bulk and power to go along with elite agility. His combine testing times of 4.91 seconds in the 40 with 25 bench-press reps showcase his all-around tools. Iheanachor is a former high school basketball standout, and teams will be lining up to develop him into a starting right tackle.

---

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 193

Miami’s 2025 highlights are full of big plays from Scott. An instinctive, fiery player in coverage, Scott had two interceptions last season — running them both back for touchdowns — to go along with two forced fumbles and five sacks as he became the nation’s best blitzer from the slot. While he might be typecast as only a slot corner, his toughness in the box and speed make him a starting-caliber prospect.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 239

Stowers is the ideal combination of elite athletic testing and high-end production. The Vanderbilt star ran a 4.51 40-yard dash and had record-setting jumps, with a vertical of 45½ inches and a broad jump of 11-foot-3. That burst allowed him to catch 62 passes for 769 yards last season while winning the John Mackey Award as the nation’s best tight end. Stowers doesn’t have elite size, but he’s a nightmare matchup from a flex or F-tight end alignment.

---

Height: 5-9 | Weight: 177

Branch broke out as a freshman at USC in 2023 and has had a resurgence after transferring to Georgia last offseason. He’s a jitterbug who has posted 81 receptions for 811 yards and six touchdowns last season while providing a spark on kick and punt returns. His small stature will prevent teams from profiling him as a WR1 or WR2, but Branch’s impact in the slot and on returns could be huge, especially in a scheme that utilizes jet sweeps and quick screens to get him the ball quickly.

---

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 321

A versatile interior defender with a disruptive first step and powerful flashes, Miller is a natural 3-technique. His size-to-strength ratio is great, even if it resulted in only 1.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons. Miller’s tape shows a natural anchor against the run with the strength to shut down interior gaps, but he also has enough juice as a pass rusher to indicate third-down potential. He just has to work on his reaction timing.
