DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Big-framed, long-limbed interior defender whose play needs more polish to consistently match his traits. Banks has a quick first step. He can stun/control single blocks when his hand strikes are timely and accurate, but he needs faster disengagement to increase his tackle count. His high center of gravity allows double teams to generate displacement, so a move to odd-front end could be in his best interest as a run defender. Like a grappler without submission knowledge, Banks is still learning to unlock his physical advantages so he can turn them into sacks. His traits and flashes at the Senior Bowl make him an enticing prospect, but injury concerns are a potential stumbling block for him.

Possession receiver coming off of his most productive year and a late-season ACL tear. Bell’s scores frequently came as a move target across the hashes, where he was able to use impressive build-up speed to eliminate angles and outrun everyone in the secondary to the paint. He’s average at eluding press and separating from tight man underneath. Improving his catch focus and positioning when contested will be critical. Bell lacks dynamic qualities and his ACL tear could impact his draft slotting, but he's a big, physical target with room to improve. He has a chance to become an average WR2/3 in time.

Slightly undersized but wearing good muscle mass, Konga is built for life as a one-gapping 3-technique. His testing numbers were eye-popping, but his career production does not align with the athletic traits. He has good first-step quickness to challenge gaps but is unable to withstand a stout drive-blocker or double-team looks. A right-handed club is his go-to rush move but it feels like there is more meat on the bone as a pass rusher for a team willing to make development a priority. Konga might need to prove himself as a situational rusher to land a spot on an NFL roster.

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.
