This year looks like it’s going turn that number to 16, but the building blocks are certainly there for the Jets to make some noise in 2027 and 2028. They own a war chest of draft picks over the next two seasons, featuring picks 2, 16, 33, and 44 this year and three first round picks in 2027. Reese has the potential to make a Micah Parsons-type impact at the next level. He played all over the field for Ohio State in a “joker” type of role, but at the next level he will most likely settle in as an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. The Jets’ recent trade for nose tackle T’Vondre Sweat signals a commitment to this scheme. At 6’4” 241lbs, Reese is an athletic freak. He posted a ridiculous 4.46 40-yard dash and 1.58 10-yard split at the combine. His best attribute might be his play strength. He’s incredibly violent at the point of attack and easily displaces offensive lineman that weigh 80lbs more than he does. There is plenty of work that he needs to do when it comes to developing a pass rush bag, but his potential is too tantalizing for the Jets to pass up here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/c7f7c5de-2c3e-422d-b41e-d29992b0a498/rueben+bain.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Arizona Cardinals R1: #3 - Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE - Miami The Arizona Cardinals should be doing everything they can to trade out of this spot, but if I’m staying put and making the pick, I’m taking Rueben Bain Jr. Bain is the sixth-ranked player on my board, and I selected him here even with my top three still available because I don’t view running back, safety, or linebacker as pressing needs for Arizona. The Cardinals drafted Walter Nolen in the first round last year, and pairing him with Bain could create an electric front. The last two Super Bowls were won in the trenches, and this would be Arizona’s way of building that kind of foundation. Bain played EDGE at Miami, but I believe his best fit at the next level is inside as a 5-technique. That said, his versatility gives him the ability to line up outside and still be highly effective. Short arms are a concern, but his power, play style, and bend give me confidence he’ll succeed at the next level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/91ac114f-7c5d-4e03-9d7c-f3ab9fdbb777/sonny+styles.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Tennessee Titans R1: #4 - Sonny Styles ILB - Ohio State Last year, the Tennessee Titans fielded the fifth-worst scoring defense in the league. Now it’s up to new head coach Robert Saleh to fix it. Sonny Styles feels like the ideal candidate to become Saleh’s version of Fred Warner. He’s an incredibly intelligent player in the body of a freak athlete. At 6’5” with 4.46 speed, Styles has rare physical tools, and that athleticism shows up on tape. As a former safety, he’s an excellent coverage dropper, much like Warner. In today’s NFL, the spine of a defense has become increasingly important, and Styles has the traits to be a foundational piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/ec42a72e-b5e3-475f-bb41-1192d79b2897/T25-Ohio-St-Defense-Football-1.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - New York Giants R1: #5 - Caleb Downs S - Ohio State The top player on my board comes off the board here to the Giants. With what is essentially a brand-new regime led by John Harbaugh, New York makes a splash pick at No. 5 before, as I’d put it, eating its vegetables at No. 10. Downs is a phenomenal, fluid athlete with the highest football IQ in this class. The Giants already have two serviceable safeties in Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin, but Downs brings an added dimension to the back end. As we’ve seen with Devon Witherspoon, Nick Emmanwori, Cooper DeJean, Brian Branch, and others, the nickel defender has become one of the most important positions in modern NFL defenses. Downs has the potential to be that caliber of player for the Giants in this scenario. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/c3537dca-d385-4c82-8472-3366ffa361eb/carnell-tate.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Cleveland Browns R1: #6 - Carnell Tate WR - Ohio State The Browns enter this draft with plenty of needs, but two glaring holes stand out: offensive tackle and wide receiver. Thanks to last year’s Travis Hunter trade, Cleveland owns picks No. 6 and No. 24 in this draft. Like Arizona, I think the Browns are a prime trade-down candidate, but since I’m sticking and picking, I’m making the selection here. With this pick, I went with Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate is an incredibly safe prospect who, in my view, is being underrated by the general consensus. He’s an X receiver with the flexibility to line up all over the field. Tate has a strong frame, smooth route-running ability, and some of the best hands I’ve seen from a prospect in quite some time. Add in outstanding contested-catch ability, and you have a receiver who consistently makes life easier on his quarterback. Now, who’s getting him the ball is a different story… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/8c793090-1db9-48eb-954b-f975358471fb/Jeremiyah+Love+112525.jpg.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Washington Commanders R1: #7 - Jeremiyah Love RB - Notre Dame The Washington Commanders have a few areas that could use an upgrade, and running back is certainly one of them. I’m generally hesitant to endorse taking a running back in the top 10, but this feels like one of the cases where it makes sense. Washington signed Rachaad White in free agency and already has rookie standout Jacory Croskey-Merritt on the roster, but Love would represent a significant upgrade over both. White could still serve as a designated third-down back and quality backup, as he did last season, but Love would be the featured option. Love is a freak athlete with elite top-end speed, strong vision, and underrated pass-catching ability. The combination of him and Jayden Daniels would be a nightmare for defenses to defend on the ground. This would be a strong move to help Washington push its way back to the NFC Championship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/02451a2e-6620-45de-8da8-a6aa7f7d46e6/david+bailey.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - New Orleans Saints R1: #8 - David Bailey EDGE - Texas Tech Despite picking in the top 10, the Saints had about as strong a season as their fans could have hoped for. Tyler Shough emerged as a viable starting quarterback, and New Orleans looked like a quality team by the end of 2025. The Saints’ defense could use more juice up front, and Bailey would provide exactly that. He’s a pass-rush artist and a terror off the edge, leading the NCAA with 14.5 sacks, fueled in large part by his lightning-quick first step. A pairing of David Bailey and Chase Young on the edge would be nightmare fuel for offenses in a wide-open NFC South. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/278fbe65-35ba-4229-a25c-3a915dec566a/imagn-27132694.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Kansas City Chiefs R1: #9 - Max Iheanachor OT - Arizona State I was very close to going with a corner here, but the most important thing for the Chiefs is making sure a Hall of Fame quarterback coming off a torn ACL is protected. Kansas City hasn’t picked this high since 2013, when it also selected a tackle. Iheanachor is widely regarded as a raw prospect, but his film is significantly better than you’d expect for a player carrying that label. He grew up playing soccer and basketball and didn’t begin playing football until junior college, which helps explain both the upside and the developmental projection. He was already climbing draft boards, but his performance at the Senior Bowl significantly boosted his stock. Reports suggest the Chiefs may not be fully sold on last year’s first-round pick Josh Simmons, and Iheanachor has the traits of a future Pro Bowl left tackle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/a72819f0-0cca-492d-864b-d1ff9772e51b/89660412007-usatsi-27923599.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - New York Giants R1: #10 - Francis Mauigoa OT - Miami With their first-round pick, the Giants made a splash by landing Caleb Downs. But John Harbaugh is a coach who values building through the trenches, and that philosophy comes into play here. The Evan Neal experiment has been an outright disaster, and Mauigoa could provide a viable replacement at right tackle. He’s an incredibly strong, sturdy athlete who could also slide inside to guard, which I believe may ultimately be his best position. Either way, Jaxson Dart appears to be New York’s quarterback of the future, and the Giants need to do everything they can to protect him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/40771db3-f8a6-466d-aa63-84f375cef9dd/delane.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Miami Dolphins R1: #11 - Mansoor Delane CB - LSU Miami is entering the first year of a brand-new regime, and there’s a lot of work to do. Honestly, I’d be stunned if the Dolphins aren’t picking in the top five next year. In addition to No. 11, they also hold pick No. 30 in this draft. Cornerback has become one of the most important positions in the modern NFL, and Miami is in desperate need of help there. While I personally prefer Jermod McCoy, I think Delane is the better pick for the Dolphins in this spot. Delane may not have ideal size, but he plays bigger than he’s listed. His high football IQ, paired with elite speed and quickness, makes him a strong selection at such a premium position. He would be an excellent foundational piece to begin Miami’s rebuild. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/ff312e20-54d0-4fcd-9160-45c582b0732a/dillon+t.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Dallas Cowboys R1: #12 - Dillon Thieneman S - Oregon This is the first of Dallas’ two first-round picks, and they would be remiss not to target defense with both. The Cowboys’ secondary is the biggest weakness on the roster right now, and Thieneman would provide the perfect safety blanket. He started all three years of his college career in the Big Ten—two at Purdue and one at Oregon. He has solid size for the position and is an excellent athlete, best illustrated by his 4.35 40-yard dash. Dallas has been vulnerable over the top for years, and that issue was especially exposed when a past-his-prime Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns against them. Thieneman would be a strong step toward making this a league-average defense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/71f7dd42-12f6-45f3-a5ee-d3858b85dc27/lemon.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Los Angeles Rams R1: #13 - Makai Lemon WR - USC This pick pains me to make. Lemon is my favorite receiver in this class, and it’s no secret the Rams have been exploring the wide receiver market. While Carnell Tate might fit every NFL offense, I think Lemon has the highest ceiling. He’s a true competitor on and off the field—fearless over the middle and a relentless blocker. There’s a reason he draws comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, and that’s before even factoring in the USC connection. If any coach-quarterback duo can maximize Lemon’s potential, it would be Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. As a Seahawks fan, I really hope this one doesn’t come to fruition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/7883ef04-98ba-462a-b123-4d668364844d/ioane.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Baltimore Ravens R1: #14 - Olaivavega Ioane IOL - Penn State Ioane might be the safest pick in this year’s draft. The only reason I don’t have him higher in my mock is positional value. With the departure of Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, the Ravens have a clear need on the interior of their offensive line. Ioane is a stout player and an excellent athlete for the guard position. For a team that leans heavily on inside zone concepts like Baltimore, strong guard play is essential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/de675bbb-5dd5-49f9-8ccd-8dcd9f0f092f/mesidor.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Tampa Bay Buccaneers R1: #15 - Akheem Mesidor EDGE - Miami This is the first pick where I don’t love many of the available options given Tampa Bay’s needs. The Buccaneers need significant help on defense, particularly at edge rusher and linebacker. In this instance, I decided to go with Akheem Mesidor. Mesidor is an interesting prospect because he will be a 25-year-old rookie. He profiles as the type of player built for a contender—while Tampa may not be one yet, they are desperate enough to need a player like him. Mesidor is an excellent pass rusher with a well-developed arsenal, thanks in part to his work with Hall of Famer Jason Taylor. Age and injury history are the main concerns, but he should still be an immediate impact player at the next level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/65c56a5c-83ef-4a19-8e9d-7c5d3d385dc4/mccoy.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - New York Jets R1: #16 - Jermod McCoy CB - Tennessee The New York Jets became the first team in NFL history to finish a season without an interception. After trading away Sauce Gardner, their secondary became utterly exposed, and they now need serious help on the back end. Enter Jermod McCoy. If McCoy were coming off his 2024 season heading into this draft, I would have seriously considered him for the Jets at No. 2—I like him that much. The concern, however, is that after suffering a devastating knee injury, he missed the entirety of 2025. Even so, McCoy’s tape was so impressive that, in my opinion, he’s still worth this selection for a Jets team that desperately needs juice in the secondary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/9c3c022c-f44c-48f0-a530-d1824af6cdb0/fano.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Detroit Lions R1: #17 - Spencer Fano OT - Utah To the shock of many, the Lions released long-time left tackle Taylor Decker this offseason. It seems like the current plan is going to be to move All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell over to the left, but that would still leave a vacancy on the right side. Spencer Fano would be a great pickup for the Lions and they’d be ecstatic if he was still on the board here. The Outland Award winner wouldn’t miss a beat sliding it on the right side for a Detroit team looking for a bounce back season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/0c824e7e-a657-4b5f-8aae-adcaf4e48b12/kayden+mc.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Minnesota Vikings R1: #18 - Kayden McDonald DT - Ohio State The Minnesota Vikings and defensive coordinator Brian Flores are known for running a aggressive defense built to force turnovers. However, their biggest weakness last season was an underwhelming run defense, which allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game in the NFL. Kayden McDonald is the ideal player to help address that issue—quite literally a space-eater in the middle. The massive Ohio State defensive tackle was a dominant run stuffer in college and could help fill the void left by Jonathan Allen, who departed in free agency. McDonald does offer some pass-rush upside, but his true value is consistent and predictable: he impacts the run game at a high level every snap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/c7af38b5-a3f6-4436-a4d1-c4da2a2e39f8/emw.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Carolina Panthers R1: #19 - Emmanuel McNeil-Warren S - Toledo The Carolina Panthers put up one heck of a fight against the second-best team in football during the Wild Card round. Their offense showed it could score, but ultimately the secondary let them down. McNeil-Warren is an excellent way to address that issue. The Toledo safety is effective as a deep-third defender, but he’s also comfortable coming downhill and delivering hits in the box. Carolina is looking to build on its momentum from winning the NFC South last season, and McNeil-Warren would be a strong step in that direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/f025fd22-556f-4624-ac8a-62b995bba176/cj+allen.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Dallas Cowboys R1: #20 - CJ Allen ILB - Georgia With the Cowboys’ second first-round pick, I’m staying focused on strengthening the spine of the defense. Corner could certainly be in play depending on how the board falls, but I believe linebacker CJ Allen is the right addition for the middle of Dallas’ defense here. Allen is a vocal leader with a high football IQ and strong zone-dropping instincts. He processes quickly, plays with discipline, and consistently puts himself in position to make plays within the structure of the defense. He also looks like the next in a long line of Georgia linebackers who translate into reliable NFL starters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/a518238e-7322-4424-bfeb-8e7142bc208a/bisontic.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Pittsburgh Steelers R1: #21 - Chase Bisontis IOL - Texas A&M Had CJ Allen been available here, he would’ve been the pick. Since he isn’t, I decided to go with Chase Bisontis. The Steelers have a few strong young building blocks on the offensive line in Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier, but there’s still work to be done. If their plan is truly to run it back with a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, protecting him becomes an absolute necessity. Regardless, at some point they’re going to have a young quarterback in the building, and having a well-established offensive line in place will go a long way in accelerating his development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/f078af6d-f23d-49c6-bafe-e7f43cee366e/pregnon.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Los Angeles Chargers R1: #22 - Emmanuel Pregnon IOL - Oregon With this pick, the Chargers are building one hell of an offense. They played almost the entire 2025 season without their All-Pro-caliber offensive tackles, and that showed up in the postseason. Add in the fact that their interior offensive line wasn’t strong to begin with, and it created a recipe for disaster. The additions of Tyler Biadasz and Pregnon help solidify the interior and could elevate this group into a top-five offensive line when healthy. After the beating Justin Herbert took last year, keeping him upright and healthy has to remain the top priority in Los Angeles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/c8443544-bb1e-4241-bbc2-31d37c2d3db2/monroe-freeling.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Philadelphia Eagles R1: #23 - Monroe Freeling OT - Georgia The run on offensive linemen continues with Freeling heading to Philadelphia, and it ain’t stopping here. Hall of Fame tackle Lane Johnson isn’t getting any younger, and given his injury history, Freeling would provide valuable tackle depth until he’s ready to step in and take the reins. Freeling is a high-ceiling prospect, and there may not be a better landing spot for him than Philadelphia, even without Jeff Stoutland. The Eagles still have one of the best tackle duos in football and plenty of valuable experience for him to learn from while sitting behind them for a season or two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/680d06b6-5e85-427d-a5d8-1af80d02c19e/blake+miller.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Cleveland Browns R1: #24 - Blake Miller OT - Clemson Earlier, Cleveland addressed a major need at wide receiver with Carnell Tate. Here, I’m taking Clemson tackle Blake Miller to address their offensive line. Miller is a solid prospect with a high floor. He started a whopping 54 games in college, showcasing impressive durability and consistency. His combination of size and athleticism should translate well to the next level. The additions of Miller and Tate could help the Browns begin to stabilize and accelerate their rebuild. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/c774f8c3-d416-410a-908c-534484888fa3/faulk.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Chicago Bears R1: #25 - Keldric Faulk EDGE - Auburn Keldric Faulk is a fun upside pick for a Chicago team looking to repeat as NFC North champions. The Bears need significant help across their defensive line, and Faulk would instantly upgrade the EDGE group against the run. Faulk has produced plenty of “almost” plays in college, and if he’s able to take that next step and consistently finish at the quarterback, he could end up being a real steal at this point in the draft. He has the traits to be a meaningful addition to a young Bears team on the rise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/d38d5ece-bbad-4903-8400-75f978a4df2d/kc-conception.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Buffalo Bills R1: #26 - KC Concepcion WR - Texas A&M Buffalo traded for DJ Moore earlier this offseason, but if they get the opportunity to address the wide receiver position with a player like KC Concepcion on the board, they have to seize it. Concepcion is an elite route runner and a dynamic after-the-catch threat. Add in the fact that he’s a fantastic returner, and you get a player who can get fans on their feet every time he touches the ball. His one major red flag is that he can be prone to drops. However, given how strong he is in contested catch situations, I think that’s something that can be cleaned up at the next level. This gives Josh Allen another much-needed weapon as he continues pushing toward that elusive Super Bowl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/9bfefc4f-0f34-48e8-999e-47ea1c73637e/jordan-tyson.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - San Francisco 49ers R1: #27 - Jordyn Tyson WR - Arizona The Niners’ injury luck can’t possibly get worse… can it? Tyson is a freak athlete with excellent contested-catch ability and strong yards-after-the-catch skills. The biggest concern is his availability. He has been plagued by injuries throughout his college career, though we saw just how dominant he can be during Arizona State’s playoff run in 2024. Had it not been for the injury history, I would have Tyson ranked firmly inside my top 15. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the departures of Kendrick Bourne and Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle’s Achilles injury, the 49ers are in clear need of offensive weapons—and Tyson certainly fits that mold. The only question is whether he can stay on the field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/38126bbe-9511-4a9c-ae5b-13c4d27dead6/Caleb-Lumu-Featured-Image-scaled.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Houston Texans R1: #28 - Caleb Lomu OT - Utah The second tackle from Utah comes off the board here to the Texans. Everyone remembers how poorly C.J. Stroud played in the playoffs, but I think we’re ignoring just how bad Houston’s offensive line was last year. There’s a reason they’re projected to have at least two new starters in 2026. Lomu can play right tackle or slide inside to guard for Houston, and he would be a major upgrade at either spot. With a tackle duo of Aireontae Ersery and Lomu, the Texans would be in strong shape up front for the next several years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/60fe7e44-158e-4b2a-94f5-9a425776c87a/chris+johnson.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Kansas City Chiefs R1: #29 - Chris Johnson CB - San Diego State Here, I have the Chiefs using the pick they received for trading Trent McDuffie on his replacement. When organizations attempt moves like this, it can be hit or miss—sometimes you land a Justin Jefferson, other times you end up with a Treylon Burks. After trading McDuffie and losing Jaylen Watson this offseason—coincidentally both to the Rams—the Chiefs have a clear need at cornerback. Johnson is a silky-smooth corner who isn’t afraid to come up and tackle. He would be an excellent fit in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/a744cbee-11db-48ef-a0d1-f78feea4fe2e/boston.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Miami Dolphins R1: #30 - Denzel Boston WR - Washington Just like the Chiefs, the Dolphins will use the pick they acquired from a trade to select a player at the same position they moved on from. Boston is a prototypical outside receiver who would instantly become Miami’s top target (outside of Devon Achane). My expectation is that the Dolphins will be among the top three teams in the league in run rate next season following the addition of quarterback Malik Willis. That said, Willis developed strong chemistry with Romeo Doubs during his time as Green Bay’s starter, and I think he could build similar confidence with Boston. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/13257ca5-f6c1-43fc-9b42-a24290c5f681/sadiq.jpg Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - New England Patriots R1: #31 - Kenyon Sadiq TE - Oregon The top tight end in this class finally comes off the board here, landing with the Super Bowl runners-up. In this scenario, I’m assuming A.J. Brown is already a member of the Patriots, which is why I’ve passed on wide receiver at this spot. Sadiq would bring a different dimension to this New England offense. With Brown and Doubs working as the deep and intermediate threats, Sadiq would operate as a major yards-after-catch weapon underneath. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper are both getting up there in age, and Sadiq offers a very different skill set anyway. This is another move to give Drake Maye more support and continue building out the Patriots’ offense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/2d227f5a-28be-402f-be4a-f3b1235a9bb8/colton-hood-nfl-draft-profile-10-23-25-scaled.webp Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Seattle Seahawks R1: #32 - Colton Hood CB - Tennessee The Super Bowl champions lost several key contributors on the defensive side of the ball in free agency, and this would be an excellent way to help fill that void. While Jermod McCoy gets a lot of attention—and rightfully so—his teammate Colton Hood is a strong prospect in his own right. Hood’s uncle, Roderick, played nine seasons in the NFL and helped train Patrick Peterson. He now serves as Colton’s trainer. Hood brings a strong blend of size and athleticism. His excellent closing speed is particularly effective in baiting quarterbacks into mistakes and breaking on the ball. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/0f6b3ee4-d386-4a8b-ae60-8f745fc71445/PFN_Draft_result_1776986124786.png Blog - 2026 Idealistic Mock Draft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://iranderson.com/blog/2026-sleeper-prospects monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/02665913-78ac-4763-aaaa-a9c6ff13a606/garrett+nussmeier.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Garrett Nussmeier QB - LSU (#83) Fernando Mendoza - QB #15 - Indiana Hoosiers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/2f4edfa8-bef5-460c-9c39-5a90458b94dd/jadyn+ott.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Jaydn Ott RB - Oklahoma (#225) Ott is a fascinating prospect in this class because of his college football journey. As a freshman, he quickly established himself as the lead back at Cal. Over the next two seasons, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry while totaling more than 2,500 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns. Scouts saw legitimate NFL talent in his game, but then 2024 happened. A string of injuries significantly impacted his efficiency. A transfer to Oklahoma was supposed to serve as his comeback, but he continued to be hampered by injuries and played only 75 snaps for the Sooners. Despite all of that, he earned an invite to the Senior Bowl, where an eye-opening performance put him back on scouts’ radars. Ott projects best in a one-cut scheme, and if he can return to the form he showed as an underclassman, he could be an excellent under-the-radar selection. Ideal Landing Spot: Kansas City Chiefs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/cd8e36f5-9fa9-4845-9688-6588f3ad8a1e/eli+heidenreich.jpg Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Eli Heidenreich RB - Navy (#207) Heidenreich was a player I selected in my Seahawks mock draft—and he’s not the last one from that group to appear on this list. At Navy, he played a hybrid wide receiver/running back role, with most of his production coming through the air, where he posted a ridiculous 4.90 yards per route run. He’s one of the most intriguing prospects in this class because of the unique skill set he offers. He has good size for the position (6’0”, 200 pounds) and legitimate speed (4.44 in the 40-yard dash), but what truly sets him apart is his 6.55 three-cone time, which ranks in the 99.9th percentile. His athletic comparisons are especially eye-opening. According to RAS, his three closest running back comps are Christian McCaffrey, Chris Johnson (CJ2K), and Jamaal Charles—an incredible group to be mentioned alongside. That’s not to say he’ll become the next Christian McCaffrey, but I do think he has the potential to carve out a Danny Woodhead–type role at the NFL level. Ideal Landing Spot: Carolina Panthers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/28b79c09-1285-4007-9d8f-ec4ffb3ea624/bryce+lance.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Bryce Lance WR - North Dakota State (#89) If this combination of last name and school rings a bell, it should. Bryce is the younger brother of former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance. Unlike his older brother, though, he plays wide receiver. Lance has an almost ideal blend of size and speed for the position at 6’3”, 205 pounds, with 33-inch arms. My one concern with his profile is that his hands are a bit small at 9 1/4 inches. He’s an older prospect—he’ll turn 24 in August—but that’s fairly typical for players from South Dakota State. He barely saw the field until his junior season, when he broke out with over 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns while recording only two drops. He followed that up with another 1,000-yard season and eight touchdowns, averaging a ridiculous 21.2 yards per reception. I think Lance could begin his career as a sacrificial X receiver (thanks, Matt Harmon), similar to Alec Pierce in his early years with the Colts. He has the speed, contested-catch ability, and tracking skills to be an effective deep threat right away. Then, much like Pierce, he can refine the rest of his game with experience and develop into a more complete receiver. Ideal Landing Spot: New Orleans Saints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/16f9c78a-395d-45ea-abc2-fb4578ad6570/kaden+wetjen.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Kaden Wetjen WR - Iowa (#236) Wetjen is a fascinating player because he has just 23 catches in his FBS career despite being a sixth-year senior. What makes him truly special, though, is his return ability. Under the new kickoff rules, having a difference-making returner can have a major impact—just look at how Rashid Shaheed helped the Super Bowl champions. The Jet Award is given to the top return specialist in college football, and Wetjen is the only player to win it twice. He’s both fearless and dynamic in the return game. His vision allows him to set up blocks and weave through traffic, and when you pair that with his burst, you get an ideal return man. Offensively, he was used primarily as a gadget receiver, and I’m not sure that changes much at the NFL level. That said, there are offensive minds that can find ways to leverage his skill set for an explosive play or two per game—and sometimes that can be the difference between going home early and hoisting a Lombardi. Ideal Landing Spot: Los Angeles Rams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/18dff8aa-d9dc-4650-85eb-2b32ca2f451b/eli+raridon.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Eli Raridon TE - Notre Dame (#126) Raridon is currently projected as a Day 3 pick, but I’d be stunned if his name isn’t called on Day 2. He’s a massive athlete who profiles as an excellent Y-tight end at the next level. At 6’5”, 245 pounds, with 10 3/4-inch hands and 33-inch arms, he has the size teams look for at the position. Add in his strong testing numbers, including a 4.62 40-yard dash, and he has an athletic profile that should have teams paying close attention. One of the biggest concerns surrounding Raridon is his injury history. He tore his ACL as a senior in high school and then tore it again as a freshman in college. While that sounds alarming, he hasn’t missed a game since, appearing in 35 games for Notre Dame. Raridon offers strong blocking ability and natural hands, with a knack for plucking the ball out of the air—an increasingly rare trait. That skill set matters in a league that is becoming more tight end-centric. NFL teams ran their highest percentage of offensive plays out of 12 personnel since the 2007 season. Big boys are back on the menu, and Raridon could be the next AJ Barner. Ideal Landing Spot: Washington Commanders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/47575780-4bbb-44c4-8588-20f34f06a391/sam+roush.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Sam Roush TE - Stanford (#108) Like Eli Raridon, Roush is an absolute unit at the tight end position. And like Raridon, he spent four years at the same school—a rarity in modern college football. Roush stands 6’6” and weighs a whopping 267 pounds. Despite being more than 20 pounds heavier than Raridon, he was only 0.09 seconds slower in the 40-yard dash (4.70). That athleticism shows up on tape, where he accelerates quickly and offers value as a yards-after-catch threat. He also brings an extremely competitive mindset, evidenced by being one of only six players to participate in every drill at this year’s combine. Add in the fact that he graduated from Stanford with a degree in computer science and a 3.8 GPA, and he checks the kind of boxes teams love. The two biggest concerns with Roush are one thing he can fix and one thing he can’t. He can clean up his drop issues, as many of them appear to be concentration-related rather than a lack of ball skills. What he can’t change is his short arms. At 30 3/4 inches, his arm length is a real outlier for the tight end position and does raise some concern. That said, he’s already an excellent blocker and would be an effective addition to any offense. Ideal Landing Spot: Philadelphia Eagles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/8ecec9b7-6311-40de-bc68-28ece6075f09/hq720.jpg Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Keyron Crawford EDGE - Auburn (#85) Crawford is a player I expect to come off the board in the second round, especially given the strength of this year’s edge class. An athletic pass rusher with an explosive first step, Crawford has the size to hold up on the stunts teams like Seattle love to run. He reminds me a lot of Seahawks EDGE Derick Hall, another Auburn product. The technical aspects of his game still need refinement, but you can’t teach the motor, strength, and explosiveness he brings. While he probably won’t start on Day 1, Crawford can provide value early as a rotational piece. Over time, I expect him to develop into the kind of every-down edge rusher every team is searching for. Ideal Landing Spot: Seattle Seahawks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/765c3ee7-5b59-4777-8661-aedb161a0632/taurean+york.jpg Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Taurean York ILB - Texas A&M (#159) If I had to bet on one player on this list to become a solid NFL contributor, it would be Taurean York. By far the biggest knock against York is his size. At 5’10” and 226 pounds, he falls well outside the ideal range for an inside linebacker. That said, he has so many positive indicators as a player that I’m willing to overlook the size concerns. Despite being undersized, York has a compact, well-built frame. His best trait by far is his intelligence. He’s an avid film watcher, and it shows on the field. He’s rarely surprised or displaced by what an offense presents, which feeds into the decisiveness he plays with when reading and reacting. He also has a strong feel as a zone defender and does an excellent job disrupting routes behind him. York is a true leader and a strong locker room presence. He’s durable, too—the junior linebacker has started all 39 games for Texas A&M. In my eyes, he’s a better version of Drake Thomas, who played an important role in Mike Macdonald’s defense and was rewarded by the Seahawks this offseason. Don’t count him out. Ideal Landing Spot: Miami Dolphins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/469826b5-0c9e-418b-9a41-2d631e7b096e/tac+davis.webp Blog - 10 Sleepers in the 2026 Draft Class - Tacario Davis CB - Washington (#129) Davis is a player with truly unique measurables for a cornerback—traits that alone would have made him a second-round pick back when teams were actively trying to recreate the Legion of Boom. Standing 6’3” with 33 1/2-inch arms, Davis has the size and length to match up with virtually any receiver in the league. He’s the most boom-or-bust player on this list. There are plenty of habits he needs to clean up, but his traits and football intelligence make him a worthwhile bet. He’s quick to diagnose route concepts, and once he identifies what’s developing, his aggression takes over, allowing him to make plays on the ball. Over three seasons as a starter, he recorded 28 pass breakups and three interceptions. Davis can get overly grabby at the catch point. He was flagged for four pass interference penalties in just seven games in 2025, two of which negated potential interceptions. Durability concerns also surfaced during his senior year, with two separate absences—first a rib injury that sidelined him for three games in September, and later a “severe” hamstring strain in November. How he develops at the next level will largely depend on the team that drafts him and how well they can refine his game. Ideal Landing Spot: Baltimore Ravens https://iranderson.com/blog/seattle-seahawks-2026-mock-draft monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/8f7a0a65-ef28-4ec6-b52d-00a065fecece/01kp903gpfxhhemb3tq6.webp Blog - Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft - R1: #32 - Chris Johnson CB - San Diego State Fernando Mendoza - QB #15 - Indiana Hoosiers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/b725fbd2-d4bd-4172-a909-2bbb1c6d9a3c/dunker.webp Blog - Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft - R2: #64 - Gennings Dunker IOL - Iowa Anthony Bradford is one of the most fascinating players in the NFL to watch. He tends to alternate between All-Pro–level plays and Pop Warner–level mistakes, with little in between. Consistency is critical along the offensive line, and for that reason, I think the Seahawks should at least consider an upgrade if the opportunity presents itself. Dunker fits that mold for me. The fifth-year senior started three seasons at right tackle for a strong Iowa program, but like Zabel last year, I believe his best fit at the NFL level is at guard. Many of Dunker’s issues would likely be mitigated by moving inside. He’s a solid athlete, but not quite quick enough to consistently handle NFL-caliber edge rushers in space. At tackle, he also played somewhat flat-footed at times, allowing defenders into his chest and putting himself in recovery mode. That said, he looked much more comfortable and active on the balls of his feet during guard drills at the Senior Bowl, which suggests his tackle technique may have been more a product of coaching than limitation. Dunker has a large, square frame with good length, and he’s an absolute mauler in the run game—something new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury will likely want to emphasize. A smart, hard-working player, Dunker would be a strong addition to a young Seahawks offensive line looking to build on last year’s success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/8ecec9b7-6311-40de-bc68-28ece6075f09/hq720.jpg Blog - Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft - R3: #96 - Keyron Crawford EDGE - Auburn Edge rusher is a critical position for the Seahawks to address in this draft. While I expect Jared Ivey to take on a much larger role this season, it’s important to look at the overall state of the depth chart. Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall are both set to hit free agency after 2026, and DeMarcus Lawrence considered retirement this offseason. Add in Boye Mafe’s departure in free agency, and it’s clear Seattle needs to reinforce the position. Crawford, like Johnson, is another player I don’t expect to be available at this spot. In fact, I’d be surprised if he’s still on the board in the third round. After two years at Arkansas State, he transferred to Auburn. In his first season with the Tigers, he served primarily as a rotational piece, but in 2025 he stepped into a full-time role. An athletic edge rusher with an explosive first step, Crawford has the size to hold up on the stunts the Seahawks like to run. He reminds me a lot of Derick Hall, another Auburn product. The technical aspects of his game still need refinement, but you can’t teach the motor, strength, and explosiveness he brings. He projects as a strong long-term successor to DeMarcus Lawrence—the question is whether the Seahawks will have the opportunity to draft him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/cd8e36f5-9fa9-4845-9688-6588f3ad8a1e/eli+heidenreich.jpg Blog - Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft - R6: #188 - Eli Heidenreich RB - Navy If you search Heidenreich’s name, you’ll see that many outlets list him as a wide receiver. While he technically played running back at Navy, most of his production came in the passing game, so it’s easy to understand why some expect him to transition to receiver at the next level. There’s a significant void at running back following the departure of Kenneth Walker and the injury to Zach Charbonnet. The Seahawks signed Emmanuel Wilson from Green Bay, who should be serviceable, but they still need more at the position. Enter Heidenreich. As a sixth-round pick, he’s by no means a definitive solution to the running back situation, but he’s a fascinating player and fit. His 9.26 RAS would rank 11th in this class. He has great speed, evidenced by a 4.44 40-yard dash, but the most eye-catching metric is his 6.55 three-cone time—an absurd mark in the 99.9th percentile. Looking at his athletic comparisons really turns heads. According to RAS, his three closest comps are Christian McCaffrey, Chris Johnson (CJ2K), and Jamaal Charles—an incredible group to be mentioned alongside. Speaking of McCaffrey, Brian Fleury previously worked as the run game coordinator and tight ends coach for the San Francisco 49ers. If there’s anyone who can maximize Heidenreich’s skill set at running back, it’s him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/b9917b81-d194-40b8-87c1-1d19c0b27145/PFN_Draft_result_1776791466388.png Blog - Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft - Here is the full mock in all it’s glory. I’m fascinated to see where these players land and if the Seahawks are able to get any of them. As of now, the Seahawks have amassed a league-leading 12 2027 picks, so next year’s mock draft would be 3x in length if they keep all of them.

Geno spent three seasons as the signal caller for the West Virginia Mountaineers, including a 42 touchdown and six interception senior season. He left Morgantown a Mountaineer legend as he currently holds the records for passing yards and touchdowns in a career, season, and game. His greatest triumph was a 70-33 drubbing of Clemson in the 2011 Orange Bowl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7611255a69259ddc8cabc/93ac91fa-63b4-41ce-a54c-57973116ff2b/geno+hawk.jpg Blog - The Geno Smith Dilemma - In week 5 of the 2021 season, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a dislocated finger against the Los Angeles Rams that would cause him to miss the next four games.
