Round 6 • Pick 27
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thompson is a slightly undersized but explosive interior defender with the potential to take snaps as both a 1- and 3-technique in a one-gapping scheme. He lacks a track record of production and is more of a projection-based prospect. A lack of response quickness post-snap diminishes his effectiveness in the first phase of the rep, so getting his actions timed up to the snap will be critical in unlocking his disruption. He hasn’t learned to convert his athletic ability into a more consistent rush, but he certainly could do that in time. Thompson profiles as a late Day 3 pick with developmental upside.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Henderson is a slender inside/outside receiver. He has good speed and disguises route intentions but will need work getting his feet/tempo right as a route-runner. He’s a former running back with below-average hands but real potential after the catch. You won’t see many who return kicks and cover punts in the same game, but Henderson can handle both duties. His special-teams versatility and athletic upside give him a chance to make a roster as a WR5/6 and full-time gunner.

Round 7 • Pick 10
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Robinson might not possess ideal measurables, but don’t ignore his game tape. He’s small by NFL standards, but he’s strong. It takes a low pad level to neutralize his leverage and move him at the point. He’s typically quicker than opponents when activated in slanting, stemming fronts. While his sack production might not translate, he's disruptive when active. Robinson has the talent to grab a roster spot as a 1-technique in the right scheme.

Round 6 • Pick 21
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Guard prospect with adequate size, good length and four years of starting experience. Taylor has a good feel for the game, relying on technique over force. In protection he can play a little too wide and too far forward, which will open him to counters. He’s generally solid and can identify games. He’s a high-pad run blocker, lacking pop on contact and drive leverage, but he fights to sustain with grip strength/choppy feet. Taylor will have some issues against interior power, but he knows how to play and could become an adequate backup in a gap/inside zone scheme.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Inside linebacker with a nose for the football and loads of production to prove it. Murdock plays firm at the contact point with physicality and toughness. He’s ready for battle when the ball comes downhill, but he lacks the closing burst to stay ahead of blocking schemes and shut down the outside run before it turns the corner. He’s a consistent tackler with good stopping power when he’s in position. His coverage features too many mistakes and a lack of recovery talent. Murdock lacks speed and third-down value, but he’s tough, makes plays and appears suited for core special-teams duties.

Round 3 • Pick 25
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thomas lacks gaudy production as a receiver, but his athleticism, versatility and return talent could bolster his roster value. He has average size with enough vertical speed to stress defenses downfield. He’s average in beating man coverage underneath and struggles finishing catches through contact. His vision, burst and elusiveness as a runner makes the evaluation more interesting. Thomas is likely to be viewed as a WR5 candidate with value as a return man, but teams could dig a little deeper on his potential as a running back.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Sixth-year senior guard with NFL size and length. Reed-Adams is an adequate athlete in small spaces. However, he loses effectiveness when forced to venture beyond home base. As a downhill blocker, he uses size to compensate for his lack of leverage, but he’s missing the contact balance and body control to sustain with consistency. He lacks command in pass protection but maintains a feel for the rusher’s movement. He usually finds his anchor against a bull rush, but his inconsistency as a processor leads to mistakes against gaming fronts. Reed-Adams has a chance to earn a spot as a backup.

Round 6 • Pick 9
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Field-stretching flanker who is light on route and catch fundamentals but heavy on kick-return talent. Teams will need to factor in Brown’s ability to operate as a functional backup against his potential contributions on kickoffs, with league rules enhancing value in that area. A linear route tree might be needed to take advantage of his potential to get open deep or run free after the catch. His speed and return value make him worthy of selection on Day 3.

Versatile and productive, Heidenreich possesses good size and toughness. Most of his run production came on jet sweeps from Navy’s option attack, but he appears to lack the acceleration to outpace NFL pursuit as a wide runner. He was a strong tester, displaying the ability to take on a bigger chunk of route-running than he saw in college. He’s short-limbed with a limited catch radius, but he hangs on tight when it hits his hands. Teams will like the mentality and his special-teams potential, but he might lack the necessary athleticism to uncover on routes or elude tacklers with the ball in his hands.

Durable four-year starter with ideal size and length who needs to become more of an impediment on each snap. Davis possesses good play strength but issues with footwork and body control limit his consistency in sustaining blocks. He has adequate lateral/second-level range for move blocks and surprising drive power when he finishes his block. Davis has had some impressive reps against pro-caliber rushers over his last two seasons, but developing better timing, accuracy and placement with his hands will be critical as he competes for a role as an NFL swing tackle.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Morris has a rare blend of intelligence, power and movement talent, but the profile is a little too uneven. He plays with a sky-high pad level and outside hands. He’s very strong in his upper body and is relatively light on his feet as a move blocker. His broad frame can be tough to get around in protection, but his inconsistent base width could lead to leakage against athletic rushers. Playing at a lighter weight would make him quicker/more efficient and could be the key to making it in the league.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
A fifth-year senior, Hutchins has started just 16 games. While he’s light on starting experience, his game is more mature. He’s undersized but stronger than his measurables might suggest. He’s physical in his block take-ons and sets edges with an adequate anchor. Hutchins creates pressure opportunities with his footwork and bend, but a lack of explosiveness in his get-off tends to limit his overall sack production. He’s an above-average athlete with good short-area burst when pursuing runners and quarterbacks. Hutchins should compete for a backup role as a stand-up edge and become a plus contributor on special teams.

Pride did an admirable job of holding up outside against solid SEC competition but he’ll be under consideration as a slot corner in the pros. He plays with good zone awareness and average man-cover talent. He’s athletic with agile feet and is feisty at the catch-point, but he might not have the needed speed or length. Toughness is not an issue, but he will be dragged for additional yardage as a run-support tackler. Pride could go late on Day 3, but a lack of traits and explosiveness create an uphill fight for him.

Carmona is a combative lineman who brings energy to the locker room and an edge to the field. He carries a burly build with short arms, making the move to guard in 2025 after three seasons at left tackle. He’s tough and plays with maximum effort. He can win some alley fights but will lose at least as many on the NFL level due to his lack of body control and inconsistent hands. Technical improvement is possible and his tackle background in the SEC could give him a head start in pass pro, but backup duty appears to be his ceiling.

Two-time team captain with four productive seasons between Weber State and BYU. Kelly is a burly linebacker with adequate play speed and desired aggression. His reaction time is average but his struggles to find his leverage and fit as a run defender pop up too often on tape. He has a strong punch but short arms and can get stuck to blockers who sink their hands in. He’s adequate in coverage but above average as a blitzer and has some juice when he rushes off the edge. Kelly might need to star on special teams to find a role as an even-front linebacker with third-down value.

Durable fifth-year senior who has made 47 consecutive starts. Burton is built to play center but could offer swing potential at guard. He has adequate play strength and good quickness for a zone-blocking scheme. He gets beaten to first contact by length and will struggle to put up a sustained fight against two-gappers at the point. He can slow a bull rush but needs to do a better job of protecting his edges and operating with consistent posture. Burton’s best fit will be with a zone-heavy running game as a late draft pick or undrafted free agent signee.

Kanak went from run-first high school quarterback to college linebacker, then flipped to tight end for his final season. He’s undersized and his run blocking isn’t on a functional level yet. As a receiver, there is plenty of room for improvement as a route-runner, but he already shows the toughness, hands and catch focus of a veteran at the position. A lack of size and versatility makes him a niche prospect, but the production, special-teams value and likely improvement as a route-runner could get him drafted.

Daniels has a tremendous feel for creating catch opportunities with varied route tempo, body control and late separation tactics. He will struggle against a quality press and might need to be schemed into releases against certain corners. Daniels excels in putting himself between the throw and the defender, winning contested catches at a high rate during his time at LSU (2024) and Miami (2025). He’s confident, crafty and focused, but he’s average after the catch and unlikely to help on special teams, so his road to a roster spot will be challenging.

Ryan profiles as a combination tight end with good size, adequate strength and plenty of aggression. He centers his blocks and works with inside hands, although he’s substantially more effective versus LBs/DBs in space than he is at duking it out in-line. He could use more polish as a route-runner to help create cleaner throwing windows, but he has the foot quickness to improve in that area. His hands are OK, but he needs to do a better job of securing catches through contact at the next level. Ryan has average speed but pretty good flow with the ball in his hands. His willingness as a blocker and ability to handle special-teams duties earn him a late-round projection.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
With just three catches over his first two seasons at Utah, Bentley’s 48 grabs in 2025 came as a surprise. He has the build of an in-line tight end but mostly uses his size to occupy defenders instead of digging into blocks. A heavy portion of his catches came against zone, so he will need to refine his route running and contested-catch technique to prove he can win on his own. Bentley’s NFL future could depend on his ability to play with more tenacity and technique as a run blocker since his catch production from 2025 might not translate.

One-gapping 3-technique whose 2024 tape might have been a better representation of what he’s capable of than his 2025 tape. Marshall is a twitchy, athletic interior defender capable of creating disruption, but he doesn’t pop on tape enough. He’s not going to hold his ground and leverage gaps, so he’ll need to become better at utilizing his first-step quickness and hands to create early advantages. If Marshall can elevate his grit and urgency, he has a chance to become a rotational defender.

Three-year starting split-field safety with adequate size but deficient speed. Huskey piled up interceptions, showing his ball skills and instincts. However, he’s slow to accelerate from transitions and lacks quality make-up speed, so receivers can get open and stay open when he’s forced to match them. He’s not a thumper but does his job near the line of scrimmage as a run defender. Huskey’s ball production and willingness in run support will be counter-balanced by his lack of speed/short-area quickness in coverage. A back-end roster spot could be his ceiling.

His run-support angles improved in 2025, but he’s undersized and still falls short as an open-field tackler. Taaffe’s football IQ and special-teams value might need to do the heavy lifting to overcome average traits and athleticism.

Athletic and active, Hughes is a three-year starting linebacker who lacks ideal size but possesses impressive straight-line speed. He sees the field well and plays with good instincts post-snap. He saw spikes in tackle production in each successive season and is a better tackle-finisher than expected for having average length. Hughes lacks plus pop in his block take-ons and has fewer tackles for loss than I expected given his downhill style and burst. His ability to cover in space and compete for a special teams role should improve his chances of making a roster.

Sharar is a one-year starter whose production masks inconsistencies in the box. For having so few starts, he’s rarely fooled by misdirection and scrambles to recover when it gets the best of him. He lacks size/strength to play effectively through contact and hasn’t learned to slip blocks often enough. He’s a willing chance taker but subpar pursuit speed and tackle-finishing shrink his margin for error. Sharar’s best chance of making a roster will be as a special-teams star, but he’ll need to prove he’s trustworthy as a functional backup.

Round 6 • Pick 23
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hard-hat possession receiver who has delivered with consistency for three consecutive seasons. Bond shines with natural ball skills highlighted by plus catch focus and sure hands to routinely win contested catch battles. Finding separation as a pro will be a challenge. He’s not shifty enough to beat a pro press and doesn’t have the speed or suddenness to break free from sticky man coverage. He might need pre-snap motion or bunch formations to get rolling. Bond will find his best chance with teams who covet pro-caliber ball skills over separation traits.
