DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Three-down linebacker with the playing demeanor and production of a future Pro Bowler. He posted 31.5 TFLs, 17 sacks and eight forced fumbles in his three seasons at Texas, making an impact in every phase. He’s instinctive, athletic and under control, transitioning seamlessly from read to react to finish. He plays with downhill thump to thwart interior blocks and the speed to pursue runners from sideline to sideline. Hill has plus cover talent in man or zone, proven credentials as a blitzer or edge rusher, and finishes plays as a strong, reliable tackler. Consistency and field command make him one of the safer linebackers in the class. His size, speed and versatility allow him to profile as an instant-impact rookie at Mike or Will ‘backer.

Muhammad has good coverage talent to offset his slender frame. He can man up from press or off and is a plus pattern-matcher, staying in-phase and shadowing break points. He displays outstanding vision and adheres to his zone-cover principles, allowing him to play with ideal efficiency on all three levels. He can get outmuscled by big, strong wideouts inside the route and at the catch-point, but he doesn’t give in and usually holds his own. He does a nice job of chopping pass-catchers down in space but a lack of play strength shows up in occasional broken tackles. Muhammad has Day 2 talent and starter-level ability.

Endries is a quarterback-friendly “F” tight end who still needs time in the weight room. His route-running can be monotonous and short-area separation uninspiring, but he’s tough, has a rebounder’s feel for boxing out defenders and is a consistent ball-winner even when coverage is draped all over him. He builds speed and is tougher on man coverage when allowed to stretch his legs on longer routes. Run-blocking is a roller-coaster ride of bad losses and quality wins. He lacks the play strength to block ends and whiffs in space on occasion, but he also gets his share of wins on split-zone, lead pulls and combo climbs to the linebacker. Endries should develop into an NFL starter.

Moore is a highly productive, 46-game starter with flexible NFL positioning. He’s undersized and lacks NFL length as an edge defender, but he’s a skilled, instinctive rusher with a robust set of approaches. He won’t burn the edges with pure speed but he compensates for that with a deep bag of moves. In limited snaps, Moore showed potential at off-ball linebacker, but questions persist about his pursuit speed and ability to cover in the NFL. Some teams might label him a “tweener,” but I see a versatile prospect whose competitiveness and feel for the game should allow him to translate no matter the position he plays.

Three-year starter at right guard with experience against NFL-caliber talent. Campbell is tough, strong and smart, but there are clear athletic limitations that create scheme-dependence and could limit his upside. He lacks functional bend and fluidity in space, which limits his range. He’s adept as a second-phase run blocker, with enough technique to neutralize and sustain in-line. He can also drop a sudden anchor to slow bull rushers. Campbell projects as a gap-scheme guard who can provide depth.

Fifth-year senior who has played in 53 games with 36 starts. Taaffe has a good feel for play design and is assignment-oriented. He’s quick to read and trigger downhill to contest short routes from split safety and robber looks. However, he lacks range to play over the top and speed to carry vertical threats downfield. 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.

Part-time starter with desirable traits and aggression. Burke is a bit of a “tweener” who might fit more cleanly as an odd-front end once he fills out his frame. His rush is too heavily reliant on effort to consistently produce pressure on the pro level. As a run defender, he attacks blocks with leveraged strikes and does a nice job of creating separation to pursue the ball. He needs to play with much better bend and a firmer anchor, though. Burke still needs refinement and bulk, but his traits could land him a backup role as a Day 3 pick.

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.
