Corey Smith's carry log doesn't do him any favors — 14 totes for 30 yards and zero touchdowns in his one qualifying season, a debut that reads more caution than breakout.

Roster-based need returns once the 2027 season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 156, and which of them already spent premium capital at RB / WR / TE in the 2027 draft.
Gold means no recent premium investment at RB / WR / TE — the cleaner fit on paper. Grey means they already spent one.
