2026 NFL Draft Results




Round 4



Indiana wide receiver Elijah Sarratt was in my top 20. Find out who got him in the fourth round.



Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Last Updated: April 30, 2026.


  1. Las Vegas Raiders: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee A+ Grade

    The 6-1 193 lb Jermod McCoy had 26 solo tackles, 18 assisted tackles, 44 total tackles, 9 deflections from pass breakups, 4 interceptions, and 0.5 tackles for a loss in 2024. Jermod McCoy was not targeted once in Ohio State's blowout win over Tennessee in the 2024-2025 College Football Playoff which shows you how much Will Howard respected Jermod McCoy's presence on Tennessee's defense.


    I gave Jermod McCoy an A+ in man coverage, an A- in zone coverage, and an A in press coverage because even though McCoy is deadly in press coverage, he does keep his hands on receivers too long when playing press coverage and that does lead to penalties which is the biggest reason why I gave McCoy an A instead of an A+ in press coverage. Jermod McCoy can play in a cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 defense. Jermod McCoy tore his ACL back in January and may not play at all in 2025. Jermod McCoy had a 99.9 game athleticism score on Pro Football Focus and is the first defensive back on Tennessee to score that highly since Eric Berry who went fifth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft.


    Jermod McCoy didn't play in 2025. I got a 93/99 potential grade on Jermod McCoy which is the same grade I had on Eric Stokes coming out of Georgia in the 2021 NFL Draft.


    Jermod McCoy may miss this season after a knee issue caused him to fall to the fourth round. He should be fully healthy by 2027 and if Eric Stokes struggles at field cornerback, I got a feeling Jermod McCoy supplants him as the number one field cornerback which causes Stokes to move over to boundary cornerback.


    Jermod McCoy should be the Las Vegas Raiders field cornerback in 2027. Unless the Raiders draft a cornerback with a higher ceiling in the 2027 NFL Draft like Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore, Jermod McCoy should be that guy next season.


  2. Buffalo Bills: Jude Bowry, LT, Boston College F Grade

    I had a 84/99 potential gradeon Jude Bowry. Anything below an 85 is a backup for me. Usually that does not get you an F in the fourth round, but this draft has 292 players with potential to develop into borderline starters and 257 total picks. You have to make every pick count.



  3. New York Jets: Darrell Jackson Jr., DT, Florida State B Grade

    New York has T'Vondre Sweat with two years left on his rookie deal and Harrison Phillips in a contract year as the starting 4-3 defensive tackles. Drafting Darrell Jackson Jr. allows him to take over for Harrison Phillips in 2027.


    Florida State defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr. was 337 lbs at the start of the season. He lost two more pounds after Florida State shocked Alabama in week 1 of the College Football regular season. He lost 7 lbs between the end of the regular season so he could get to 328 lbs by the time the weigh in at the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl took place. He lost another 13 lbs between the Senior Bowl and the 2026 NFL Combine. You have to give Darrell Jackson Jr. credit for going from 337 lbs to 315 lbs and losing 22 pounds of weight.


    The 6-5 315 lb Darrell Jackson Jr. had 13 solo tackles, 32 assisted tackles, 45 total tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, and 1 quarterback hurry in 2025. New York can develop Darrell Jackson Jr. this year before startng him in 2027 as I had a 89/99 potential grade on Darrell Jackson Jr.


  4. Arizona Cardinals: Kaleb Proctor, 3-4 LE, Southeastern Louisiana B Grade

    Kaleb Proctor of Southeastern Louisiana has the versatility to play 4-3 right end, 4-3 defensive tackle, 4-3 left end, 3-4 right end, 3-4 nose tackle, and 3-4 left end. Kaleb Proctor is being drafted as a rotational 3-4 left end where he will redshirt this year unless multiple players get injured at 3-4 defensive end. He should move into a rotational role in 2027 if Arizona moves on from Dante Stills.


    The 6-3 280 lb Kaleb Proctor had 16 solo tackles, 33 asssited tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery. Kaleb Proctor ran a 4.79 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine. He did manage to sack Garrett Nussmeier and he got invited to the 2026 East West Shrine Bowl. He has upside to be a starter in two years from now, but having him as a backup to Vita Vea is a good value pick. His lack of power does hurt him.


    Arizona has Walter Nolen III at 3-4 right end, Roy Lopez at 3-4 nose tackle, Darius Robinson at 3-4 left end, Dante Stills as the backup 3-4 right end, Andrew Billings as the backup 3-4 nose tackle, aand Kaleb Proctor as the backup 3-4 left end. With that much depth on the defensve line, this defensive line will be a force if everyone is healthy.



  5. Los Angeles Chargers: Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State C Grade

    The Los Angeles Chargers have 3 starting wide receivers with 90 potential or higher in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Trae Harris with McConkey exceeding expectations and Johnston failing to meet expectations of a Pro Bowl wide receivers. The fact that the Chargers didn't trade Quentin Johnston tells me he will get a fifth year tender since that fifth year tender of $18 million can be used in the final year of Ladd McConkey's rookie deal. Los Angeles drafted a wide receiver in the fourth round, but this wide receiver probably will not see the field on a weekly basis as a starter until 2028 at the earliest when both Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston become UFA's. The Los Angeles Chargers drafted Brenen Thompson who ran the fastest 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.


    The 5-9 165 lb Brenen Thompson ran a 4.26 40-yard dash. That was the fastest 40 time among wide receivers at the 2026 NFL Combine.


  6. Houston Texans: Febechi Nwaiwu, RG, Oklahoma A+ Grade

    Houston drafts a right guard to push Ed Ingram for the right guard job. Oklahoma right guard Febechi Nwaiwu makes a lot of sense here. I had a 86/99 potential on Ed Ingram coming out of LSU and I got a 91/99 potential on Oklahoma right guard Febechi Nwaiwu.


    The 6-4 326 lb Febechi Nwaiwu has the versatility to play right guard as well as center, but right guard is a natural fit. Febechi Nwaiwu has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, run blocking footwork, and zone blocking. Febechi Nwaiwu still needs to improve his pancake blockig, pull blocking, and cut blocking.


    Houston can develop Febechi Nwaiwu behind Ed Ingram these next two years. Houston also has the option to buyout Ed Ingram and make Febechi Nwaiwu their starting right guard in 2028 if Nwaiwu reaches his potential and Ed Ingram ends up doing awful as the Houston Texans right guard following the second year of his three year contract.



  7. San Francisco 49ers: Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma A- Grade

    Gracen Halton was the third best defensive tackle on my board. San Francisco drafts him for depth. San Francisco has Osa Odighizuwa and Alfred Collins as starting 4-3 defensive tackles. C.J. West last years fourth round pick is the number four defensive tackle with Gracen Halton being the third defensive tackle for depth. Halton will probably have to compete with West to earn that number three defensive tackle spot in camp.


    The 6-3 293 lb Gracen Halton had 11 solo tackles, 22 assisted tackles, 33 total tackles, 7 tackles for a loss, 7 quarterback hurries, 3.5 sacks, 2 deflections from pass breakups, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 defensive touchdown off a fumble recovery in 2025. Gracen Halton won one-on-ones against Alabama left tackle Kadyn Proctor. Gracen Halton has the pass rushing and run stuffing to dominate despite his lack of mass. He does lunge too much and his technique does need to get cleaned up. I had a third round grade on him prior to the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl, and he dominated in Mobile Alabama this year.


    San Francisco only drafted two players with a 90/99 potential or higher. Those two players were Romello Height in the third round and Gracen Halton who had a 91/99 potential which was the highest potential grade of any player drafted by San Francisco. Tim Keenan III and Aaron Graves were ahead of Gracen Halton on my big board which is why San Francisco got an A-. Gracen Halton could start in 2027 if Osa Odighizuwa sucks enough to get bought out. There's also an outside chance that Gracen Halton does not see the field until 2029 since Osa Odighizuwa, Alfred Colllins, and C.J. West are all under contract with San Francisco until 2029.


  8. Denver Broncos: Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington A+ Grade

    I had a 93/99 potential grade on Washington running back Jonah Coleman my second best running back in the 2026 NFL Draft behind Jeremiyah Love. I had a 90 potential grade on J.K. Dobbins in the 2020 NFL Draft and a 91 potential on RJ Harvey in the 2025 NFL Draft. Denver has three reliable running backs that Bo Nix can hand the football off to. Jonah Coleman was in my top 40 overall for the 2026 NFL Draft.


    The 5-8 220 lb Jonah Coleman had 193 carries, 1,053 rushing yards, 10 rushng touchdows, 23 receptions, 177 receiving yards, and 0 receiving touchdowns in his first season at Washington in 2024. Jonah Coleman had 158 carries, 758 rushing yards, 15 rushing touchdowns, 31 receptions on 31 targets, 354 receiving yards, 0 drops catching every target that came his way, and 2 receiving toucdhdowns in 2025.


    Jonah Coleman may not have the game speed scouts love in terms of his 40 yard dash. He makes up for it with excellent pass protection and 0 fumbles over four seasons in college. The speed, vision, pass catching, and pass blocking is all there with Jonah Coleman.



  9. Kansas City Chiefs: Jadon Canady, CB, Oregon A+ Grade

    Kansas City drafted Mansor Delane to be their field cornerback covering number one wide receivers. Nohl Williams, last years third round pick out of California has a high floor, but a low ceiling and is currently the boundary cornerback. Kader Kohou is the nickel corrnerback at the moment. Kaiir Elam, Kristian Fulton, and Jadon Canady are the three projected backups heading into training camp.


    Jadon Canady has a 85/99 potential meaning he has just enough upside to develop into a starting cornerback. He is small for a cornerback, but has versatility to play everywhere on the secondary at field cornerback, boundary cornerback, nickel cornerback, strong safety, and free safety with the ability to line up anywhere on the secondary.


    The 5-11 185 lb Jadon Canady did much better than I expected on film. I gave Jadon Canady an A grade in man coverage, an A+ in zone coverage, an A+ in press coverage, an A+ in run stuffing, and an A+ in blocking. Jadon Canady can play in a cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 scheme. Right now, he's the backup nickel cornerback to Kader Kohou and frankly, I believe Canady will start at nickel cornerback and won't give that job back if Kohou gets injured again. Jadon Canady will start at nickel cornerback by 2027 at the very latest.


  10. New York Jets: Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson B Grade

    The 6-2 210 lb Cade Klubnik had 3,639 passing yards, 463 rushing yards, 4,102 total yards, 36 passing touchdowns, 7 rushing touchdowns, 43 total touchdowns, 6 interceptions, and a 63.4% completion percentage as a junior in 2024. Cade Klubnik had 2,943 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, 94 rushing yards, 4 rushing touchdowns, 3,037 total yards, 20 total touchdowns, and 6 interceptions in 2025.


    Cade Klubnik can play in a balanced run first offense, a vertical offense, and a shotgun spread offense. He can run more schemes than Garrett Nussmeier and he's one of the best quarterbacks at throwing on the run in this draft. He beat Drake Maye and North Carolina to win the 2022 ACC Championship as a freshman. His accuracy was inconsistent in the 2024 ACC Championship on tape and that part of Klubnik's game will need to get cleaned up if he's going to succeed in the NFL.


    Cade Klubnik is expected to beat out both Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe for the backup quarterback gig behind Geno Smith. With Geno Smith on a one year contract, and with Cade Klubnik being the fifth quarterback drafted, there is a chance Klubnik sees playing time in the NFL as a rookie 2026.


    Cade Klubnik is the fourth of the five quarterbacks drafted slotted into a second team role heading into training camp. The other three quarterbacks are Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson, and Drew Allar. Carson Beck the third quarterback drafted has a higher potential than both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew II despite being Arizona's third string quarterback. I had a 89/99 potential grade on Cade Klubnik, but he could need patience as well as all four years of his rookie deal to reach his ceiling. Let's face it NFL teams, especially the New York Jets are not that patient anymore and Sam Darnold is living breathing proof of that.


    You can argue this a C+ grade since I had six quarterbacks ahead of Cade Klubnik in terms of potential. Only one of those quarterbacks got drafted though, so you can also argue this is an A grade at the very worst. I will give the New York Jets a solid B grade here with this pick.



  11. Denver Broncos: Kage Casey, LT, Boise State A+ Grade

    Denver gets their successor to Garrett Bolles at left tackle. Kage Casey is a great value pick at this point in the second round as I got a 92/99 potential grade on Kage Casey.


    The 6-5 309 lb Kage Casey has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, and run blocking footwork you want in a left tackle. You still want to see him improve his zone blocking, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking. He can learn under Garrett Bolles and be Denver's future left tackle. I had Kage Casey in my top 50, so this is amazing value in the fourth round.


  12. Dallas Cowboys: Drew Shelton, LT, Penn State Dry Cornbread Grade

    I have a 79/99 potential grade on Drew Shelton. Anything below an 85 is a backup grade for me. Joey thinks he can develop into a starter, but he will be a backup as long as Tyler Guyton is there. Joey's vote of confidence is why Dallas gets the second Dry Cornbread grade of this draft and the first since Max Ihenachor in the first round instead of an F grade.



  13. Indianapolis Colts: Jalen Farmer, RG, Kentucky Dry Cornbread Grade

    Indianapolis got a backup right guard to Matt Goncalves. Jalen Farmer isn't even Kentucky's best guard, Joshua Braun is. Joey believes Farmer has potential to be solid backup and his 82/99 potential grade is better than Drew Shelton's. I guess Chris Ballard will be the third GM to get dry cornbread in this draft joining Omar Khan and Jerry Jones.


  14. Dallas Cowboys: Devin Moore, CB, Florida Dry Cornbread Grade

    I had a backup grade on Devin Moore with Moore falling just short of my starter potential grade at 84/99. Dallas has Da'Ron Bland, Caelen Carson, and Shavon Revel Jr. as their three starting cornerbacks. Joey believes Moore can develop into a starter, but he will start out as a dime cornerback on Dallas.


    I've posted three consecutive dry cornbread grades. Jerry Jones needs to stop taking the dry cornbread and double dipping the Dry Cornbread in Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter.



  15. Baltimore Ravens: Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana A+ Grade

    Elijah Sarratt was twentieth overall on my 2026 NFL Draft Simulator. I actually mocked him to Pittsburgh at 21, so this is insanely good value in the fourth round. I had a 94/99 potential grade on Elijah Sarratt which was lower than the 95/99 I had on Rashod Bateman, but higher than the 92/99 potential I had on Zay Flowers coming out of Boston College. A three wide receiver set with Rashod Bateman and Elijah Sarratt on the outside with Zay Flowers in the slot will do wonders for Lamar Jackson. Mark Andrews can remain the defacto number one tight end.


    The 6-2 210 lb Elijah Sarratt had 65 receptions, 830 receiving yards, and 15 receiving touchodwns as a freshman at St. Francis in 2022. Elijah Sarratt had 53 receptions, 957 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns under then James Madison head coach Curt Cignetti as a sophomore in 2023. Elijah Sarratt had 82 receptions, 1,191 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns in 2024 in his final season at James Madison as a junior. Elijah Sarratt had 42 receptions, 700 receiving yards, and 13 receiving touchdowns as a senior at Indiana in 2025.


    Elijah Sarratt can run all 30 routes on the route tree. He's not a great separator like Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, or Carnell Tate. Elijah Sarratt had 44 career touchdowns. He has 10 inch hands and 0 fumbles in four college seasons. Elijah Sarratt has the best ball security of any wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. Elijah Sarratt will have to compete with DeVontez Walker and Ja'Kobi Lane for that third starting wide receiver spot since Baltimore did draft Lane ahead of Sarratt. Something tells me Sarratt wins that competition though.


    Elijah Sarratt grew up in Baltimore too playing High School Football. Then he would head off to James Madison and Indiana before returning to the city of Baltimore to be drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.


  16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Keionte Scott, CB, Miami FL A Grade

    I only had one cornerback graded above Keionte Scott still on the board. That was Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad as I had a 92/99 potential on both cornerbacks. Tampa Bay drafted a dime cornerback that can push Jacob Parrish to be Tampa Bay's new nickel cornerback. I had a 90 potential on Zyon McCollum and he's reached his ceiling. I had a 93 potential on Benjamin Morrison last years second round pick out of Notre Dame. Jacob Parrish did have starter potential at an 86 for me last year, but Scott is capable of supplanting Jacob Parrish as the Buccaneers new nickel cornerback if Jacob Parrish gets injured.


    The 5-11 193 lb Keionte Scott had 42 solo tackles, 22 assisted tackles, 64 total tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, 8 quarterback hurries, 5 deflections from pass breakups, 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, and 2 defensive touchdowns in 2025. I gave Keionte Scott an A- in man coverage, an A- in zone coverage, a A in press coverage, an A+ in pass rushing, and and A+ in run stuffing. Keionte Scott can play in a cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 scheme.



  17. Los Angeles Chargers: Travis Burke, RT, Memphis C Grade

    I got a 86/99 potential grade on Travis Burke. Travis Burke has experience at both left tackle and right tackle.


    The 6-9 315 lb Travis Burke might be a better option at swing tackle than Trey Pipkins III. He's currently listed as the backup right tackle to Joe Alt.


  18. Detroit Lions: Jimmy Rolder, MLB, Michigan Dry Cornbread Grade

    I got a backup grade on Jimmy Rolder. Detroit did not give their starting middle linebacker Jack Campbell a fifth year tender. That is why Detroit gets Dry Cornbread instead of an F grade.



  19. Jacksonville Jaguars: Wesley Williams, RE, Duke B+ Grade

    I had a 87/99 potential grade on Wesley Williams. Jacksonville has a blue chip pass rusher at 4-3 right end in Josh-Hines Allen and a former first overall pick in Travon Walker across from him at 4-3 left end. I love the fit of Wesley Williams as a rotational pass rusher here.


    You can argue this grade deserves as low as a C+. You can also argue it's an A+ based on fit. I gave Jacksonville a B+ grade.


  20. Green Bay Packers: Dani Dennis-Sutton, 3-4 ROLB, Penn State A- Grade

    Penn State 4-3 defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton played 4-3 right end in 2025 and played 4-3 left end across from Abdul Carter in 2024 meaning he has the versatility to play defensive end on either side. He also lined up as a 3-4 right outside linebacker and a 3-4 left outside linebacker when he didn't place his hand in the dirt.


    The 6-5 256 lb Dani Dennis-Sutton had 26 solo tackles, 16 assisted tackles, 42 total tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks, 8 quarterback hurries, and 8 deflections from pass breakups in 2025. Dani Dennis-Sutton has the pass rushing, run stuffing, and coverage you want in a defensive end. He also has the ability to win double teams and still get to the quarterback.


    Green Bay has Micah Parsons at 3-4 right outside linebacker, Zaire Franklin at 3-4 middle linebacker, Edgerin Cooper at 3-4 middle linebacker, Lukas Van Ness at 3-4 left outside linebacker, Dani Dennis-Sutton as the situational pass rusher at both 3-4 outside linebacker spots, Ty'Ron Hopper as a backup 3-4 middle linebacker, and Isaiah McDuffie as a backup 3-4 middle linebacker. Barryn Sorrell is the fourth pass rusher on Green Bay.



  21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kaden Wetjen, WR, Iowa C- Grade

    I got a 79/99 potential on Kaden Wetjen as a wide receiver, but a 99/99 potential on Kaden Wetjen as a return specialist as both a kick returner and a punt returner. This is an F grade if Pittsburgh is drafting him as a wide receiver, but an A+ grade if Pittsburgh is drafting him as a return specialist. I decided to even things out by giving the back-to-back Jet Award winner for top return specialist in College Football a C- grade.


    Pittsburgh has D.K. Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and Germie Bernard as their top three wide receivers. Roman Wilson is the number four wide receiver. Ben Skowronek is the number five wide receiver. Kaden Wetjen is the number six wide receiver, but he will be both the kick returner and punt returner for the Pittsburgh Steelers.


  22. Las Vegas Raiders: Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas C Grade

    The 6-1 223 lb Mike Washington Jr. had 167 carries, 1,070 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns, 28 receptions, 226 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, 195 touches, 1,296 total yards, and 9 total touchdowns in 2025. Mike Washington Jr. isn't my top running back on the board, but he has a 87/99 potential grade on him.


    I had a 93 on Ashton Jeanty last year and a 85 on Dylan Laube in 2024. Las Vegas will have Ashton Jeanty as their starting running back, Mike Washington Jr. as their backup running back, and Dylan Laube as their third string running back.



  23. Houston Texans: Wade Woodaz, MLB, Clemson C Grade

    I got a 87/99 potential grade on Wade Woodaz. With Azeez Al-Shaiir accepting a three year contract extension, both Azeez Al-Shaiir and Waade Woodaz are under contract until 2030.


  24. Chicago Bears: Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas A+ Grade

    The 6-0 190 lb Malik Muhammad had 23 solo tackles, 7 assisted tackles, 30 total tackles, 4 deflections from pass breakups, 2.5 tackles for a loss, 2 interceptions, and 1 sack, and 1 quarterback hurry.


    I gave Malik Muhammad an A grade in man coverage, a C grade in zone coverage, and an A+ in press coverage. Malik Muhammad can play in a cover 0, cover 1, and cover 2 defense. As long as Chicago uses Muhammad as a man press coverage cornerback he should have a lot of success.


    Chicago will have Jaylon Johnson at field cornerback, Tyrique Stevenson in the final year of his rookie deal at boundary cornerback, Kyler Gordon at nickel cornerback, and Malik Muhammad replacing Nashon Wright at dime cornerback. Malik Muhammad may be a dime cornerback this year, but he's good enough to start at boundary cornerback in 2027 if Chicago moves on from Tyrique Stevenson.



  25. Buffalo Bills: Skyler Bell, WR, Connecticut A+ Grade

    The 6-0 192 lb Skyler Bell had 101 receptions, 1,278 receiving yards, and 13 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Skyler Bell can run 24/30 routes on the route tree.


    I had a 92/99 potential grade on Skyler Bell. Skyler Bell has the highest ceiling of any wide receiver on the Buffalo Bills depth chart. Buffalo got him in a similar spot they drafted Khalil Shakir. Josh Allen has D.J. Moore at flanker wide receiver, last years flanker wide receiver Khalil Shakir moving to a secondary wide receiver role versus being the primary wide receiver, and last years secondary wide receiver Joshua Palmer moving to slot receiver. Skyler Bell is going to push Keon Coleman for the number four wide receiver spot on Buffalo's depth chart and something tells me Bell wins that competition with Tyrel Shavers competing with Mecole Hardman Jr. and Trent Sherfield for the sixth and final wide receiver spot on the Buffalo Bills depth chart.


  26. Buffalo Bills: Kaleb Elarms-Orr, 3-4 MLB, TCU A+ Grade

    I had a 85/99 potential grade on Kaleb Elarms-Orr meaning he has enough upside to be a borderline starter. Buffalo drafts Kaleb Elarms-Orr as a depth player behind Terrell Bernard and Dorian Williams.


    The 6-2 230 lb Kaleb Elarms-Orr had 60 solo tackles, 70 assisted tackles, 130 total tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, 6 quarterback hurries, 4 sacks, and 2 deflections from pass breakups. Kaelb Elarms-Orr is a great run stuffer.



  27. San Francisco 49ers: Carver Willis, LT, Washington F Grade

    I had a backup grade on Carver Willis. San Francisco gets their first F grade of this draft.


  28. Cincinnati Bengals: Connor Lew, C, Auburn A- Grade

    The 6-3 310 lb Connor Lew has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking footowork, run blocking footwork, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking stands out. Zone blocking is his only weakness. He tore his ACL which caused him to miss the regular season, some had him in the first round conversation with guys like Logan Jones, Pat Coogan, and Jake Slaughter before he tore his ACL. Connor Lew did 31 reps at the 2026 NFL Combne on the bench press rep. Ted Karras only has one year left on his contract with the Cincinnati Benga`ls.


    I got a 89/99 potential on Connor Lew. He can learn under Ted Karras this year and start in 2027. This pick deserves a B grade at worst since I had Lew going in the fifth round and deserves an A+ at best. That averages out to an A- grade which is what I gave the Cincinnati Bengals for drafting Connor Lew.



  29. Carolina Panthers: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M B Grade

    The 6-1 189 lb Will Lee III had 39 solo tackles, 11 assisted tackles, 50 total tackles, 8 deflections from pass breakups, 2 tackles for a loss, and 1 sack in 2025. I gave Will Lee III an A grade in man coverage, a C graade in zone coverage, and an A- grade in press coverage. Will Lee III can play in a cover 0, cover 1, and a cover 2 defense.


    I gave Will Lee III a 89/99 potential grade. He might be good enough to beat out Chau Smith-Wade for the starting nickel cornerback job.


  30. Miami Dolphins: Trey Moore, ROLB, Texas C Grade

    The 6-3 249 lb Trey Moore had 22 solo tackles, 13 assisted tackles, 35 total tackles, 6 quarterback hurries, 5 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, 3 deflections from pass breakups, and 1 fumble recovery in 2025. Trey Moore has the versatility to play 4-3 right outside linebacker, 3-4 right outside linebacker, 4-3 left outside linebacker, and 3-4 left outside linebacker with his versatlity.


    I had a seventh round grade on Trey Moore. He does have enough potential to develop into a high-end starter though.



  31. Los Angeles Chargers: Genesis Smith, FS, Arizona B+ Grade

    The 6-2 204 lb Genesis Smith had 35 solo tackles, 42 assisted tackles, 77 total tackles, 8 deflections from pass breakups, 3 tackles for a loss, 2 forced fumbles, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery. Genesis Smith has great closing speed, but he didn't dominate in coverage the way Treydan Stukes and Dalton Johnson did. To be fair those defensive backs have Pro Bowl potential while Genesis Smith is a high end starter at best with the lowest ceiling of that trio of Arizona defensive backs with Genesis Smith having a 87/99 potential where he maxes out at 87.


    The Los Angeles Chargers needed a free safety next to Derwin James. The worst grade you can give this pick is a C+ and the best grade you can give this pick is an A+. I will give the Los Angeles Chargers a B+ grade here.


  32. New Orleans Saints: Jeremiah Wright, RG, Auburn F Grade

    I have a backup grade on Jeremiah Wright and I've got over 280 players with starter potential in this draft which is a unique outlier in the 2026 NFL Draft. That is why New Orleans got my first F grade here.



  33. Baltimore Ravens: Matthew Hibner, TE, SMU C- Grade

    San Francisco gets pick 133 in the fourth round for losing left guard Aaron Banks. Aaron Banks signed with Green Bay in Free Agency last year. San Francisco traded this pick to Baltimore for 154 and a 2027 sixth round pick.


    I had a 87/99 potential on SMU tight end RJ Maryland and a 85/99 potential on SMU tight end Matthew Hibner. Baltimore drafts the second best tight end on SMU to be Isaiah Likely's replacement. Getting a number two tight end with starter potential to compliment Mark Andrews is why this pick does not get a D or an F grade.


    RJ Maryland did go undrafted. Green Bay ended up signing RJ Maryland as a UDFA and RJ Maryland has the same potential grade that Tucker Kraft had coming out of South Dakota State. Green Bay might be able to reload at tight end with a UDFA if RJ Maryland makes the Packers final 53 man roster. Matthew Hibner should be on the Ravens final 53 man roster.


  34. Atlanta Falcons: Kendal Daniels, SS, Oklahoma A+ Grade

    Las Vegas gets compensation pick 134 due to Trevon Moehrig signing with the Carolina Panthers at strong safety. Las Vegas already signed Jeremy Chinn on the first day of 2026 Free Agency to be the new starting strong safety. A free safety is needed next to Chinn and there's a couple of safeties with Pro Bowl upside still on the board. Wake Forest free safety Nick Andersen makes the most logistical sense here giving the Las Vegas Raiders secondary a day 1 starter with all of the cornerbacks with Pro Bowl ceilings off the board as Nick Andersen would compliment Jeremy Chinn at strong safety. Doubling up at wide receiver in the fourth round gives the Raiders the flexibility to take the best wide receiver or cornerback on their board in the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft. Las Vegas traded this pick and 208 to move up to 122.


    Kendal Daniels has the versatility to play 4-3 right outside linebacker, 4-3 middle linebacker, 4-3 left outside linebacker, 3-4 middle linebacker, strong safety, and free safety. I have Daniels listed as a strong safety, but there are just as many outlets that have him listed as a linebacker. I had a 86/99 potential grade on Kendal Daniels.


    Atlanta now has Xavier Watts at strong safety and Jessie Bates III at free safety. Kendal Daniels is now the backup strong safety. Sydney Brown is now the backup free safety. Atlanta has incredible depth at safety.



  35. Indianapolis Colts: Bryce Boettcher, MLB, Oregon A+ Grade

    Pittsburgh got this compensation pick at 135 for losing quarterback Justin Fields who signed with the New York Jets last year. Pittsburgh traded this pick to Indianapolis.


    The 6-1 232 lb Bryce Boettcher had 56 solo tackles, 80 assisted tackles, 136 total tackles, 6 deflections from pass breakups, 5.5 tackles for a loss, 5 quarterback hurries, 2 forced fumbles, 1 sack, and 1 interception in 2025. Bryce Boettcher dominated as a run stuffer and coverage linebacker at the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl.


    Bryce Boettcher will be CJ Allen's backup at 4-3 middle linebacker. He might be used as a 4-3 left outside linebacker situationally when the Colts deploy 3 linebackers. Indianapolis mainly runs a 4-2-5 nickel defense though.


  36. New Orleans Saints: Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State A- Grade

    New Orleans got pick 136 after losing field cornerback Paulson Adebo to the New York Giants. New Orleans got another weapon in the passing game with this pick.


    The only two wide receivers ahead of Bryce Lance on my board were Eric McAlister and Josh Cameron. I had a 90/99 potential grade on Bryce Lance and he may be the New Orleans Saints future slot receiver.


    The 6-3 204 lb Bryce Lance had 75 receptions, 1,053 receiving yards, and 17 receiving touchdowns in 2024. Bryce Lance had 51 receptions, 1,079 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns even without Grey Zabel who helped Seattle win Super Bowl 60 during his rookie season in 2025. Bryce Lance ran all 30 routes on the route tree, ran a 4.34 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine, and his 9.95 RAS is 23rd among over 4,000 wide receivers dating back to 1987.



  37. Dallas Cowboys: LT Overton, LE, Alabama A Grade

    Philadelphia got this compensation pick at 137 after Josh Sweat left the Philadelphia Eagles to sign with the Arizona Cardinals last offseason. Philadelphia traded this pick to Dallas when moving up for Makai Lemon in the first round.


    The 6-2 278 lb LT Overton had 26 solo tackles, 16 assisted tackles, 42 total tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 4 quarterback hurries, 4 sacks, 1 deflections from pass breakup, in 2025. LT Overton has the size to play in a 4-3 defense, but he played in a 3-4 defense at Alabama.


    LT Overton will be the backup 4-3 left end on the Dallas Cowboys. There is a chance he moves inside to defensive tackle, but with his size, I see him playing defensive end.


  38. Miami Dolphins: Kyle Louis, LOLB, Pittsburgh A+ Grade

    San Francisco gets pick 138 in the fourth round for losing cornerback Charvarius Ward. Charvarius Ward signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2025. When Miami traded up with San Francisco to get San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson, Miami gave San Francisco 30 and 90 to get 27 ad 138.


    The 5-11 224 lb Kyle Louis had 45 solo tackles, 56 assisted tackles, 101 total tackles, 15.5 tackles for a loss, 9 quarterback hurries, 7 sacks, 4 interceptions, 3 deflections from pass breakups, 1 forced fumble, 1 blocked kick/punt, and 1 defensive touchdown on a pick 6 in 2024. Kyle Louis had 43 solo tackles, 38 assisted tackles, 81 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, 3 deflections from pass breakups, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries, and 1 forced fumble in 2025.


    Kyle Louis also got an A+ grade in both man coverage and zone coverage which is pretty rare for a linebacker when first watching his tape in 2024. I had a 93/99 potential on Kyle Louis in the preseason. I now have a 90/99 potential grade on Louis. Kyle Louis was one of the standouts at the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl. Kyle Louis can rush the passer, stop the run, and cover at an elite level giving you a linebacker that plays like a defensive back on passing downs.


    Kyle Louis can play 4-3 right outside linebacker, 4-3 middle linebacker, 4-3 left outside linebacker, 3-4 right outside linebacker, 3-4 middle linebacker, 3-4 left outside linebacker, strong safety, and free safety with his versatility. Kyle Louis can be a day 1 starter if he's used as a 4-3 left outside linebacker since Miami drafted Jacob Rodriguez as a 4-3 right outside linebacker.



  39. San Francisco 49ers: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington C Grade

    San Francisco gets pick 139 in the fourth round for losing strong safety Talanoa Hufanga. Hufanga signed with the Denver Broncos in Free Agency last year.


    The 6-4 195 lb Ephesians Prysock had 29 solo tackles, 19 assisted tackles, 48 total tackles, 7 delections from pas breakups, 1 tackle for a loss, and 1 interception in 2025. I gave Ephesians Prysock a A grade in man coverage, a A grade in zone coverage, and a C grade in press coverage. Ephesians Prysock can play in a cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 scheme. I got a 87/99 potential grade on Ephesians Prysock, but some got Prysock graded higher than his teammate at cornerback Tacario Davis.


  40. Cincinnati Bengals: Colbie Young, WR, Georgia Dry Beans Grade

    New York gets pick 140 after losing boundary cornerback D.J. Reed to the Detroit Lions. New York traded 128 and 140 to move up to 110 to draft Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik. Cincinnati drafted Auburn center Connor Lew with 128 and now picks again at 140.


    I had a 84/99 potential grade on Colbie Young. That's a backup grade. While Joey did like this pick, I don't see Young ever playing on the Bengals and the Bengals ownership is too cheap to get a dry cornbread grade, so the fourth round ends with an F grade. Joey suggested Dry Beans, so they get Dry Beans instead of Dry Cornbread.
