Full boardPublic consensus order · August 31, 2026. Every source counts equally.
- Board#1
Jeremiah Smith
Smith can beat a corner over the top, work inside for a catch in traffic or outmuscle him for the ball. He has the speed to separate and the body control to finish when the throw brings him back toward coverage. We would feature him outside, where his speed forces corners to give ground and opens room for shorter routes.
Scout in mock - Board#2
Leonard Moore
Moore’s appeal begins with composure. He can stay square while a receiver declares the route, then use patient movement and ball awareness to contest the throw. The next step is making his contact and tackling as dependable as the better coverage repetitions.
Scout in mock - Board#3
Dylan Stewart
Stewart can force a tackle to hurry before either player makes contact. His first step and ability to bend toward the quarterback give the rush an immediate threat; the next question is what happens when the tackle survives that opening. The answer involves hand sequencing and run responsibility, not simply adding more speed to an already explosive player.
Scout in mock - Board#4
Colin Simmons
Simmons already looks like a premier attacking edge, with 21 sacks in two seasons, an explosive first step, the bend to turn the corner and the burst to close. To reach the top of the class, he needs a more automatic counter plan, firmer run defense and fewer penalties.
Scout in mock - Board#5
Dante Moore
Moore wins with a fast release, layered touch and precise placement from the pocket, with enough mobility to escape and throw on the move. He can make a case for the first pick in 2027, but his second year as Oregon's starter must bring quicker decisions after the snap and better ball security under pressure.
Scout in mock - Board#6
Cam Coleman
Coleman gives a quarterback a substantial downfield target, with tracking and body adjustment to keep difficult throws alive. His route timing and response to physical coverage will determine how often the offense can access that ability beyond the highlight catch.
Scout in mock - Board#7
Arch Manning
Manning can produce a well-placed throw after the pocket or the original play breaks down. Charlie Campbell’s evaluation is particularly positive about that ability. The harder question is how consistently Manning can reach the correct receiver on time before the play requires that rescue.
Scout in mock - Board#8
Trevor Goosby
Goosby has the range, length and strength to become a starting NFL left tackle, with enough movement to contribute across the run game. His first-round case depends on cleaner hand recovery, better balance against counters, a larger full-time starter sample and a healthy return from the knee injury.
Scout in mock - Board#9
Jordan Seaton
Seaton moves like an NFL left tackle and already handles true dropback pass protection.
Scout in mock - Board#10
David Stone
Stone offers an interior defense two ways to create trouble: get into the gap early, or make the blocker give ground with him attached. His strength gives the disruption substance, but a complete NFL role depends on more than winning the first collision. Block recognition and the next rush move are the details separating an exciting penetrator from a dependable every-down defender.
Scout in mock - Board#11
DJ Lagway
Lagway is a powerful, big-armed dual-threat capable of throws and escapes that few college quarterbacks can match. His Baylor reset must produce calmer feet, fewer forced balls and more dependable week-to-week accuracy after a 2025 season with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
Scout in mock - Board#12
Ellis Robinson IV
Robinson can change direction without losing the play. His hips and recovery movement give him ways to regain coverage after a receiver creates an initial advantage. The value of that athletic response depends on whether he then identifies the route and completes the tackle or ball contest.
Scout in mock - Board#13
KJ Bolden
Bolden’s most useful work starts with a view of the play. His range and zone movement let him affect throws beyond his original patch of field. The assignment becomes less convincing when it regularly turns into a close-contact contest with a larger blocker.
Scout in mock - Board#14
Jamari Johnson
Johnson is a true Y tight end with the hands, route feel and post-catch balance to stay on the field for every personnel package. His TE1 case depends on handling a featured receiving role while becoming a more forceful and consistent in-line blocker.
Scout in mock - Board#15
A'Mauri Washington
Washington brings an interior defense the possibility of moving the line of scrimmage rather than merely occupying it. His power can drive a blocker backward, but the important distinction is whether he can control and leave that block in time to affect the ball.
Scout in mock - Board#16
William Echoles
Echoles is a powerful, disruptive interior defender who turned his first season as a starter into 68 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and five sacks. He has the strength to control a shade and enough initial quickness to rush from three-technique, but he must play lower, finish more tackles and counter more cleanly when his first rush stalls.
Scout in mock - Board#17
Kewan Lacy
Lacy’s appeal starts with how quickly a patient run can become an attacking one. He can let the blocking develop, identify the opening and accelerate through it. The larger evaluation is whether his contact finish and passing-down work can make that rushing threat useful throughout an offensive series.
Scout in mock - Board#18
Charlie Becker
Becker makes the space behind a corner matter. His speed draws the defender downfield, while his tracking and strong hands give the quarterback another answer when the coverage stays close. Expanding the ways he reaches those opportunities is the next step.
Scout in mock - Board#19
Trey'Dez Green
Green can turn an imperfect throwing window into a reachable ball. His coordination and tracking let him adjust a large target without losing control of the catch. The role decision is how to use that receiving advantage while being selective about the blocking demands attached to it.
Scout in mock - Board#20
Jadan Baugh
Baugh can move the point of contact before he delivers the force. His quick feet give a large back a way to change the defender’s approach, and his balance helps him continue once the tackle arrives. The challenge is knowing when another adjustment helps and when it delays the run.
Scout in mock - Board#21
Kelley Jones
Jones is a long outside corner who closes quickly and makes it difficult to throw over him. He moves well for his size and can stay with receivers downfield, but stronger opponents can overpower him. His hardest assignments are the ones that force him to stop and change direction sharply. The appeal is an outside defender who can contest the ball even when the receiver appears to have a step.
Scout in mock - Board#22
CJ Carr
Carr gives an offense a workable rhythm from the pocket. His feet and delivery can bring the ball to a developing window before the coverage closes it. The key question is how much of that operation survives when the first answer disappears or pressure interrupts the throw.
Scout in mock - Board#23
Ryan Williams
Ryan Coleman-Williams is an explosive Z/slot receiver who can take the top off coverage or turn a short completion into a scoring chance. He has starting-caliber speed and movement, but the drops, light play strength and uneven route detail could keep him in a specialist role.
Scout in mock - Board#24
Darian Mensah
Mensah is an accurate, anticipatory pocket passer who has produced at Tulane and Duke and now takes a 56-touchdown, 12-interception résumé to Miami. His starter upside depends on stronger pocket discipline, tighter ball security and showing that his arm can threaten NFL windows when the platform breaks down.

Zack Marshall
Zack Marshall’s tight-end projection is developing around a more comfortable inline role and an expanding understanding of how to become available within a passing progression. His Michigan production remains modest, but it includes a full season of appearances and recognition for improvement. The NFL case begins as developmental tight-end depth. The next step is combining a dependable blocking assignment with receiving value that does not require the offense to make him the first read or design every touch specifically for him.
Corey Myrick
Corey Myrick offers a safety projection built around range, recognition from depth and the ability to close on developing routes. His Southern Miss season supplied the first substantial body of starting production before the move to Clemson. The coverage appeal is stronger when he can see the play and use his stride than when he must mirror a quick target through sharp changes of direction. His clearest NFL role is a developmental safety in zone and split-field structures, with man-match versatility something to earn rather than assume.

Jontez Williams
Williams is an experienced, ball-productive outside corner with patient feet, strong route awareness and the toughness to finish in space. His USC season must prove that the knee injury is behind him and that his press technique can hold up against the speed and spacing of a different coverage system.
Kayin Lee

Xavier Scott
Scott’s appeal is how quickly he can connect the route picture to his feet. He has the movement and awareness to affect more than one kind of inside coverage assignment, with physical involvement that makes the nickel role more than a passing-down job.
Bryce Young
His 2026 evaluation should begin with whether he can win a full-time role and turn an impressive high-school profile into repeatable college disruption.
C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite’s clearest NFL appeal is the possibility of dependable interior run-defense work. His build and low-leverage approach offer a way to remain square against a blocker, while a sustained Arizona State role gives the evaluation a real college foundation. The pass-rush ceiling is less developed. He should be considered as an early-down tackle who can earn rotational value through control and finishing, with additional disruption treated as a development opportunity rather than an established specialty.
Elinneus Davis
Davis’s clearest contribution is making the interior running lane difficult to use. His base and hand extension can hold space against contact, while the pass rush offers a less developed route to winning quickly upfield.

LJ McCray
McCray has a 6-foot-6, 277-pound frame, rare reported movement and enough alignment flexibility to generate early-round speculation before producing an early-round résumé. After playing four defensive snaps in 2025, he must prove that two years of physical development can survive a full season and translate into actual disruption.
