DRAFT TRACKER 2026

A late-blooming Division III standout with intriguing upside, Montgomery has good size and length in the slot. He’s still learning his craft and should become a more refined route-runner if he gets more time. He was highly competitive in Senior Bowl one-on-ones and appears very comfortable in 50/50 catch spots. His age, timed speed and lack of short-area explosiveness could hurt his draft slotting, but he should find his way into a camp. He will need to replicate his Senior Bowl week to prove he belongs in the NFL.

Anthony is a field-stretching “Z” receiver with below-average production but speed to intrigue. There are a lot of inconsistencies on tape. His route-running will need significant work if he’s going to uncover against NFL cornerbacks on anything other than deep routes. Anthony is below average as a ball-tracker and jump-ball artist but displays good toughness when contested. He operates with NFL-caliber foot drops near the sideline. The route tree will be limited but his potential as a kick returner could buy him some time on a practice squad.

Down safety with ideal size, length and athleticism. Nwankpa checks physical and athletic boxes but is missing a standout element in his play. A lack of play recognition and instincts make him a reactive defender in coverage. He’s unable to close quickly enough to make plays on the ball. As a run defender, poor pursuit angles and inconsistencies with tackle execution will be concerning for NFL evaluators. His traits and special-teams potential will help, but Nwankpa faces an uphill battle to make a roster.

Two-year starter and 2025 team captain with elite personal character but marginal athletic traits. Wagner is smart and makes good use of his length when punching/staying connected to second-level blocks. His lack of foot quickness reduces his range as a run blocker and creates issues getting to his set-points against edge speed in protection. Wagner lacks the body control to adjust comfortably to moving targets, which limits his potential against NFL athleticism. He could be drafted in the late rounds, but I see a relatively low ceiling.

One-gapping interior defensive lineman whose short-area quickness fuels his production. Hall has good length but is an average bender with a narrow base. He can get into gaps with slide-and-go movement and moves well chasing runners down the line. He needs to improve his hand usage to be more consistent at the point of attack. He’s a fluid athlete, which plays into his potential as a move rusher. Hall could hear his name called late in the draft, but he’ll face an uphill battle to make a team.

Brown is well-built and features good play strength. He’s an explosive athlete, but he’s missing the desired instincts in coverage, which might explain his lack of ball production. He has good top-end speed and range from the hash. He’s a physical striker and can be a full-stop tackler, but inconsistent angles to the ball turn into missteps that lead to explosive plays. His size, athletic profile and potential on special teams give him a chance to compete for a roster spot.

Kpeenu leans on physicality and yards after contact over elusiveness, burst or speed. His 28 bench-press reps at his pro day speak to the natural power he carries. It shows in the way he’s able to deny tacklers through force and keep his legs moving, especially near the goal line. He’s a linear runner lacking ideal bend, acceleration and top-end speed, so most of his yardage as a pro would be gained between the tackles. Kpeenu will likely need to prove himself on special teams to compete for a roster spot in camp.

Fifth-year senior with the height/weight/speed numbers to get a look from the slot despite just a single season of major production. Boyd uses his hands and separation burst to create an opening for his quarterback. He’s unpolished and inefficient as a route-runner but has some potential in that area. While he has deep-ball value when that branch of the route tree is utilized, average hands and below-average ball skills when contested could set him back as he pursues a roster spot.

Fleischmann is a developmental prospect with above-average athleticism but below-average size and production. He doesn’t always play to his speed but that could change if he can find more reps. He can catch in traffic and through contact but needs to work on route fundamentals to better uncover. Fleischmann probably doesn’t have enough tape to warrant a draft pick, but a team might take a flier on his upside as a practice-squad project.

Barnett is a three-year starter with NFL-caliber measurables and slightly above-average athletic testing. He’s rarely cheated when he lands on contact cleanly, but he needs to improve his balance and footwork when fitting up his blocks. He appears best suited for inside-zone and gap-scheme assignments but has plenty of experience in wide zone. Barnett’s grip strength works in his favor in pass protection but he will struggle to stay mirrored to NFL rushers who attack edge to edge. While he checks some of the boxes needed to compete for a roster spot, Barnett will need to extend his aggression through the whistle as a block finisher at the next level.

Sixth-year senior whose immediate value will rest in his ability as a return man. Lacy is short and relatively compact. He has good speed and plus athleticism, but he runs unfocused routes, which limits his separation potential. While he has the speed to work all three levels, a lack of ball skills diminishes his success rate down the field. His return talent and gadget potential (jet sweeps/screens) could be enough to land him a role, but his route-running and ball skills might need sharpening to keep it.

Hilton has build-up speed to take the top off defenses, averaging 19 yards per catch during his career. He had a troubling lack of production, though, making just 41 catches in five seasons. There are basic route corrections he can make to better open underneath throws. He has adequate ball skills downfield but comes up empty when contested. When you combine his sparse production with his injury history, it doesn’t inspire confidence, but speed sells, giving Hilton a chance to outplay his draft slotting.

Blay is a slightly undersized nose tackle who climbed from Division II to Conference USA and finally to Miami, where he played for a national title. He takes on single blocks with adequate power to press and separate, but he can be wiped out by double-teams or angle pressure. He’s quick to close the distance on quarterbacks when he gets some breathing room but lacks early explosion and hand work to quickly open doors. Blay’s path to a roster might come as an undrafted free agent.

A seventh-year senior, Voisin displays good balance and footwork as a route-runner. He’s unable to outrun quality coverage as a vertical threat and lacks the catch radius/contested-catch talent to win when crowded. While he did a nice job during Senior Bowl practices, Voisin’s age and lack of size/speed create a massive hill to climb as he pursues a roster spot.

O'Neill is a high-motor edge defender with terrific play strength. He uses efficient hand work in tight quarters to work around blocks at the point of attack, but he lacks range in pursuit. As a pass rusher, he relies on effort and strength, with room for growth in his rush plan/execution. His lack of explosiveness and length caps his overall rush potential, though. O'Neill projects as a viable backup outside linebacker in an odd-front scheme and offers core special-teams value.

DiGiorgio has good size, but he will need to play full-time at guard to have a chance due to his athletic limitations. He has no issues with toughness. He’s able to play with some force but he’s unable to fit up and stay connected against moving targets. Issues with body control and foot quickness might be too tall a hill to climb unless he can perfect his technique and play in power rushing attacks.

Interior defender with heavy hands and a frame for additional mass. Thompson is experienced and capable of playing in even or odd fronts. Tight hips limit his bend at the point of attack, creating inconsistent leverage, but the play strength and hand usage are in place. He’ll give effort as a rusher but he lacks tools to create NFL pressure. Thompson projects as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent.

Guilbeau is an athletic perimeter cornerback, but he lacks ideal size and speed. It appears there is a disconnect between his eyes and feet, as he’s frequently late in reacting to plays he sees developing in front of him. He plays with average burst and make-up speed, so falling behind simply will not be an option on the next level. Guilbeau balances in zone from high to low and is an above-average ball-tracker in quarters and Cover 3. His lack of size shows up on 50/50 balls, though, and he lacks the aggression needed to handle the rigors of run support as a nickelback.

Gesky is a 34-game starter with adequate size, strength and length. He fails to enter run blocks with ideal pad level to leverage and displace opponents. He’s more of a positional occupier at the point. He sees pressure clearly near the line of scrimmage and is consistent with his blitz/twist pickups. He’s an average reactive athlete when beaten and needs to improve the efficiency of his punch. There are physical tools to work with, but Gesky appears to have a limited ceiling.

Three-year starter with solid passing production relative to the lack of protection he saw in 2025. Altmyer has experience in pro passing concepts and shows decent eye discipline/patience to give the play a chance. He throws with adequate anticipation into zone windows but a slower operation time and lack of arm talent hurt his chances of beating tight man coverage. Edge pressure sneaks up on him and he hasn’t learned to avoid sacks often enough. Altmyer could have a tough time beating out pro backups for a roster spot.

Jones is a former five-star recruit who played at three schools (Georgia, Florida State, Oklahoma) over the last three seasons. He has good size and comes from NFL bloodlines. His play strength and aggression at the point of attack are average, but his hands stay active and he gets off blocks when needed. So far, Jones has not been able to convert his traits into high-level production. His rush plan and toolbox do not stand out on tape.

Randolph is a 38-game starter carrying a compact build and above-average power. He has a strong core and contact balance that allows him to meet strength with strength at the point. His hands stay inside and he’s consistently in a state of leverage. He has limited range, though. Longer defenders can separate and work around him for quick wins. He has trouble matching post-snap movement in the run game and edge attacks in protection. Randolph’s strength and experience are checkmarks in his favor, but there might be too many holes in his overall game right now.

Enormous collegiate right tackle who might need to prove he can bump inside to make an NFL roster. Pettus is tall and very broad but lacks the natural sit-down anchor associated with many players his size. He lacks fluidity as a pulling blocker and when fitting up run blocks off the snap. He might not have enough slide quickness to handle NFL edge speed. Even with a move to guard, Pettus will need to improve his body control and footwork to effectively utilize his size.

Productive edge defender and 42-game starter over five seasons at Central Michigan. NFL teams will take notice of Heldman’s 2025 spike in TFLs/sacks and his size/testing profile. He’s well-built and can hold his own against single blocks at the point of attack. However, he’s inconsistent with early play recognition and initial footwork to beat the block. He’s strong on the edges of his rush but lacks ideal fluidity/bend in his lower half and has a fairly predictable rush menu. Heldman could earn an opportunity to compete in a camp thanks to his size, testing and 2025 production.

A versatile slot receiver, Wortham can run, catch, throw, and return kicks, though he lacks elite size and explosiveness. He has good hands but needs to improve in altering route tempo and hiding break points from the coverage. Wortham, who played quarterback in high school, is capable of being used in Wildcat looks, zone-read concepts and quick-game throws or gadget passes. He can return kicks but is an average threat in that department. His versatility stands out, but convincing a team he’s a plus in any one area will be the key to making a legitimate push for a spot in camp.

Bamba is a perimeter cornerback with impressive size, elite top-end speed and good short-area burst. Despite his advantageous measurables and explosiveness, he comes up short with on-ball production due to his lack of coverage feel and instincts. Bamba has struggled to stay connected to receivers and needs more technique work. Teams might want to develop him as a press-man corner, but he appears to be better suited for work as a zone corner who can press, redirect and play the run. Bamba is a project, but he could find a practice squad.

Voorhis is a little undersized and not very long, but he posted impact production in the FBS for the first time in 2025. He’s fairly instinctive as a rusher and made noticeable additions to his rush menu last season. While he collected tackles for loss in 2025, he’s below average at beating run blocks and securing his gaps. He lacks traits, explosive testing and sustained production but his consistency as a rusher is worth keeping an eye on.

Two-year starter with NFL-caliber measurables. Kelly needs to get stronger and play with better grit to leverage his gap and win individual block battles in run support. Improved hand usage and refined counters might bolster his chances of creating pressure, but it’s hard to envision much sack production given his lack of quickness and explosive power. Kelly will have to battle for a roster spot as an even-front end.

Free safety or zone nickelback who showed impressive instincts/ball skills on tape but tested poorly at his pro day. Dunnam displays good anticipation and recognition of play design both pre- and post-snap. He can break simultaneously with wideouts and close on intended targets before the quarterback starts his throwing motion. He lacks top-end speed and is missing size/consistency as a run defender/open-field tackler. Dunnam will need to prove himself as a functional zone defender to compete for a roster spot.

Towering four-year starter at tackle who struggles with leverage. Mahlman’s lack of length contributes to protection breakdowns when he fails to land first hands. As a run blocker, he uses hand strikes to mitigate a lack of bend but he doesn’t have the body control to execute from entry to whistle at a consistent level. It’s tough for tall tackles to bump inside to guard, but such a move might provide Mahlman his best shot at a roster spot, provided he adds to his core strength.

Brinson is a field-stretcher, but the middle of his route tree is missing branches. He’s a long-strider with good acceleration to build speed and create opportunities for himself on vertical routes. His route-running is less effective on intermediate routes, where he’s slower in and out of breaks. Despite his catch radius and hand size, he wins fewer 50/50 balls than he should when coverage closes him down. Brinson has traits to work with but offers a more limited menu of services for teams.

Developmental offensive lineman whose inconsistencies could begin to correct themselves with more technique work and experience. Mosesso needs to add mass but carries an NFL frame with good lean mass. His athletic ability, hand strength and contact pop are elements that create projection potential at either tackle or guard. He seems to lack instincts/understanding of how to get to his actions with proper footwork and positioning at this juncture. Mosesso’s issues appear to be correctable with better technique, so a team willing to play the long game with him could benefit in the future.

Former five-star recruit with good length and athletic ability but inconsistencies that could hurt his chances on the next level. Leigh has the footwork and hand-timing for protection success in the early stages of the rep but struggles anchoring against power. He gets into trouble with excessive lunging. He’s quick out of his stance and is able to hit lateral/second-level landmarks but his lack of sustain strength will be hard for him to overcome as a run blocker.

Long-limbed edge defender with intriguing rush features but a lack of anchor and contact balance against the run. Anthony is best when playing up the field with elusiveness in both phases. He has adequate get-off with long strides and good bend in his rush. He can throw speed and angle changes at tackles to create opportunities but it’s all for naught once tackles get hands on him. He’s unable to withstand heads-up battles at the point and has average pursuit speed/short-area agility as a tackler. Anthony projects as a developmental pass rusher with practice-squad potential.

Off-ball linebacker with average size and one season as a full-time starter over five years. Weeks is an average athlete, but he has pretty good linear speed. He has adequate reaction time in his diagnosis. He’s a thumper when he catches runners cleanly but struggles to alter pursuit paths and change direction fluidly in space. Issues in coverage and with tackle consistency could linger, which might work against him as teams weigh his special teams value.

Athletic Will linebacker with inconsistencies in his game that might hinder his projection as a pro. Sorey can read and recognize run-play development. He’s capable as a run-and-chase linebacker but his missed tackle totals are alarming. He struggles to take on blocks and maintain run fits near the line. He has issues with coverage busts and a lack of awareness in zone drops. Sorey’s athletic profile should garner attention, but a lack of consistent execution in the fundamentals could be a tough challenge to overcome.

Anderson is a short but stocky slot receiver with good speed but below-average hands. Injuries and quarterback play slowed his production in 2025, so a heavier dose of 2024 tape is needed for his evaluation. His routes are rhythmic and fairly disciplined, but he fails to create enough separation from his break points. He has the play strength to compete for the contested throws he’s likely to see against tight press man. Anderson has the talent and toughness NFL teams like to see, but his lack of size/explosiveness could make it challenging for him to earn a spot as a backup.

Two-year starter with consistent production in the key categories. Graves lacks NFL-caliber size, length and athletic-testing numbers, but he fills stat columns, using hustle and know-how to find the action. He finished his career with an impressive sack total (16.5) but he’s not a consistent quick-win rusher and those numbers are unlikely to translate. He struggles to hold his ground against double-teams/angle pressure as a run defender, while his lack of length hurts his consistency with block shed and tackling.

Experienced starting tackle missing the length and foot quickness to stay outside on the next level. Adams carries girthy lowers with good leg drive and adequate hand usage in the run game. A lack of body control creates inconsistency in fitting blocks, but when he’s in, he can get some work done. His pass protection has major holes with below-average anchor and mirror quickness. Adams could find his way into camp but faces a steep climb to make a squad.

Size, speed and production are check marks in Rucker’s favor. He has good straight-line speed but is average as a route-runner and well below average when it’s time to finish catches. I did not see a lot of improvement from him as a ball-winner over the course of six seasons. While he possesses intriguing talent, it’s hard to imagine Rucker building camp momentum given his inconsistency when it comes to reeling in throws.

Possession receiver with limited range and explosiveness to threaten NFL corners. Key is a detail-oriented route-runner with natural ball skills and soft hands. However, he struggles to beat press, lacks the vertical speed to push cornerbacks onto their heels and is unable to prevent a high rate of contested looks. Key’s best shot will be as a big slot receiver working as a zone-beater, but a lack of special-teams value shrinks his roster chances.

Good tester with average size and steady production over the last three seasons. Connors typically gains what is blocked for him, but he can be indecisive without a clear entry point and lacks above-average elusiveness in space. Connors has decent burst once he hits the gas and builds to top speed quickly to eliminate tackle angles toward the perimeter. His receiving totals are primarily a function of leak-out catches and swing passes. Connors is steady and reliable but will need to carve out a clearly defined role to stick on an NFL roster.

Big, tough wideout with modest production and average tools. McCulley has adequate foot quickness and athleticism. However, he will need to prove he can beat tight man pressure because he’s not a natural separator and rarely runs by cornerbacks on vertical routes. He works back on throws when needed and uses his frame/hand extension to help him protect the catch-point. His performance in the catch phase is a plus, but getting there won’t be easy for him against NFL cornerbacks.

Hunter’s productive 2025 season featured 102 tackles, including 14 for loss and four sacks. He’s fast when he opens up and runs but can be a little leggy with his short-area movements. Hunter’s instincts and response quickness are a little below average and he’s not suited for third-down coverage duties at the next level. His athletic testing was outstanding and he can compete for a role on special teams, but he’ll need to show he can handle backup linebacker duties to have a chance of sticking on a roster.

Dingle offers a height/weight/speed option at inside linebacker. He’s a three-year starter who often relies on athleticism over instincts. His overall production in the impact categories is relatively light and he’s below average in coverage. The size, athletic testing and play strength are all positives, but Dingle is lacking in snap-to-snap execution, production and three-down versatility.

Stroman is an aggressive player who might need to star on special teams to make a squad. He can handle some man coverage but struggles on the back end, where technique and route recognition are not his strong suits. He needs to play with more patience on downhill run fills but he strikes ball-carriers with force. He fits as a “robber” where he can play forward against short throws and race in against the run. He has immediate special teams value and elements of his game on defense might be worth continued development.

Bradley struggles to play through route contact and lacks footwork/short-area burst as a route-runner. He’s primarily a zone-beater underneath with value as a long target in the red zone. His athleticism will become a plus with a position change from wide receiver to tight end, but he’s not much of a blocker right now. Bradley will need to prove he can uncover at a better clip for consideration as a pass-catching tight end in the league.

H-back prospect who lacks important athletic traits. Franklin does his part in the run game, giving effort and blocking with decent technique. A lack of good muscle mass and length might make him better suited for work as a move blocker in the NFL. He doesn’t uncover with speed, quickness or route acumen and has a low success rate on contested catches.

Weru’s pro day results and field workout should capture the attention of evaluators hungry to mold an explosive athlete. While the former rugby player has no football background, his time in rugby should give him a bit of a head-start on making the transition. He was very fluid in his workout, with loose hips and quick feet. He’s a natural bender with excellent speed and rare explosiveness in his hips. Teams won’t get a full sense of Weru’s potential until he’s competing in pads during camp, but given his athletic ability, it might take a late draft pick to get a seat at the table.

Tough, productive runner whose lack of explosiveness might limit his ability to make it in the league. Bullock has decent size and runs hard. He has a natural feel for the run lane and is able to cut/change tracks without missing a beat. However, against next-level competition, his lack of burst, top-end speed and second-level wiggle could make it tough for him to create yards beyond what’s blocked, which limits his potential as a “make-it” pro runner.
