DRAFT TRACKER 2026

A two-year starting right guard, Farmer's run blocking is ahead of his pass protection. He isn’t broad or girthy, but he features a compact point of power and good core strength. He’s a plus drive blocker capable of leveraging and finishing his work but sees diminishing returns when blocking in space. Farmer will block what is in front of him in protection but frequently stalls his feet when punching, allowing active rushers to slip into his edges and find the pocket. He’s capable when working duo and man-to-man blocks downhill, but his ceiling will be defined by his improvement in pass protection.

McGowan is quick to process and has enough wiggle to create when needed. However, his lack of explosive carries and fumble totals are concerning. McGowan is effective in short-yardage situations and flashes the skill to handle backup carries, but his age and lack of third-down value could work against him on draft day.

Alabama transfer with a compact build whose primary function at Kentucky was to add yards after the catch on quick throws near the line of scrimmage. Law ran a limited route tree, with most of his 2025 targets thrown behind the line. Tight hips dull downfield route breaks and he rarely runs routes at his true speed. He has strong hands to make contested grabs and breaks tackles on a regular basis with the ball in his hands. Law’s special-teams background at Alabama helps but might not be enough for him to stick on a roster.

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.

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.

A hulking sixth-year senior, Braun comes from a family of athletes and lettered in tennis in high school. He’s a good athlete for his size with the ability to hit back-side cutoffs and make reasonable pull blocks. However, he lacks knee-bend for drive leverage and plays with disappointing strain/finish in-line. Braun is fairly effective using his size and length to disrupt the rush but twitchy interior rushers and gaming fronts will cause trouble for him. The traits alone should get him drafted but he needs to ramp up the grit level against NFL competition.

Gusta has adequate size and good power but he’s not a true gap-control nose tackle and lacks production from a stem-heavy front. He’s an active, effort-based defender who is capable of fighting for his space against single blocks, but his take-on against double teams is average. First-step quickness and violent hands can create pocket pressure despite a low career sack total, though. Gusta has a chance to fight for a spot as a 1-technique.
