217. Arizona Cardinals: Jayden Williams, LT, Ole Miss C+ Grade
     
     
     I got a 85/99 potential grade on Ole Miss left tackle Jayden Williams. He could develop into a starter, but goes to a situation where he gets to be a backup left tackle.
     
     
     
     Arizona has Paris Johnson Jr. as the starting left tackle. Jayden Williams may end up beating out Josh Fryar for the backup left tackle job despite being third string on the depth chart at the moment. Arizona has Elijah Wilkinson at right tackle, Oli Udoh as the backup right tackle, and Christian Jones as a third string right tackle.
     
     
     
218. Dallas Cowboys: Anthony Smith, WR, East Carolina A Grade
     
     
     The 6-3 189 lb Anthony Smith had 64 receptions, 1,053 receiving yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Anthony Smith ran 15/30 routes on the route tree. I had a 88/99 potential grade on East Carolina wide receiver Anthony Smith.
     
     
     
     Dallas has CeeDee Lamb as their flanker wide receiver, George Pickens as their secondary wide receiver, Ryan Flournoy as their slot receiver, Marquez Valdes-Scantling as their number four wide receiver pushing Flournoy for that role, Jonathan Mingo is their number five wide receiver competing for the slot receiver job, Kavontae Turpin the number six wide receiver and final backup is in the competition to win the Dallas Cowboys slot receiver job. Anthony Smith and Tyler Johnson the top two third string wide receivers are also long shots, but in the running for the Dallas Cowboys slot receiver job.
     
     
     
     
     
219. New Orleans Saints: TJ Hall, CB, Iowa B Grade
     
     
     I got a 85/99 potential grade on Iowa cornerback TJ Hall. I like this addition and believe TJ Hall could be a future nickel cornerback on New Orleans.
     
     
     
     New Orleans has Kool-Aid McKinstry as their field cornerback, Quincy Riley as their boundary cornerback, Julian Blackmon at nickel cornerback, Jonas Sanker at strong safety, Justin Reid at free safety, Martin Emerson Jr. as the dime cornerback with Emerson pushng Blackmon, the former Colts free safety for the nickel cornerback job. Isaac Yiadom, Lorenzo Styles Jr., and TJ Hall are competing for the quarter cornerback job. TJ Hall is currently projected as a third string cornerback on the New Orleans Saints depth chart, but he will have an opportunity to secure the quarter cornerback job as a rookie. TJ Hall could be the New Orleans Saints nickel cornerback job in 2027 if New Orleans lets both Julian Blackmon and Martin Emerson Jr. walk in 2027 provided that TJ Hall wins the quarter cornerback job over Lorenzo Styles Jr. and Isaac Yiadom.
     
     
     
220. Buffalo Bills: Toriano Pride Jr., CB, Missouri A Grade
     
     
     Toriano Pride Jr. has a 86/99 potential grade. Buffalo brought in another cornerback to push the dime and quarter cornerbacks for their jobs. I love this pick for that reason.
     
     
     
     
     
221. Cincinnati Bengals: Jack Endries, TE, Texas A Grade
     
     
     The 6-4 245 lb Jack Endries had 33 receptions, 346 receiving yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Jack Endries ran 6/30 routes on the route tree as he got worse when he left California in the transfer portal to go to Texas.
     
     
     
     I got an 88/99 potential grade on Jack Endries. He's currently fifth on Cincinnati's depth chart behind Drew Sample, Mike Gesiciki, Erick All Jr., and Tanner Hudson. Jack Endries has a higher ceiling than every tight end on this roster even Gesicki. That's why he warrants a flyer in the seventh round. The only tight end above Endries on my board at this point was Michael Trigg.
     
     
     
222. Detroit Lions: Tyre West, LE, Tennessee F Grade
     
     
     I got an 80/99 potential on Tyre West. Even if he develops he will only be a situational pass rusher at best.
     
     
     
     
     
223. Washington Commanders: Athan Kaliakmanis, QB, Rutgers C Grade
     
     
     I got a 86/99 potential on Athan Kaliakmanis. His ceiling is not as high as Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota. He provides insurance at quarterback if either Daniels or Mariota gets injured making this a solid pick.
     
     
     
224. Pittsburgh Steelers: Robert Spears-Jennings, FS, Oklahoma A Grade
     
     
     Robert Spears-Jennings can play both strong safety and free safety with his versatility. Robert Spears-Jennings is maily a free safety. Pittsburgh drafts a free safety with a 88/99 potential grade that I mocked in the sixth round making this great value late in the draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-0 213 lb Robert Spears-Jennings had 33 solo tackles, 26 assisted tackles, 59 total tackles, 2 deflections from pass breakups, 1.5 tackles for a loss, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble in 2025. I gave Robert Spears-Jennings an C grade in man coverge, an A grade in zone coverage, and a D in press coverage. Robert Spears-Jennings can play in a cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 defense.
     
     
     
     
     
225. Tennessee Titans: Jaren Kanak, TE, Oklahoma C Grade
     
     
     I got a 86/99 potential grade on Jaren Kanak. He's raw, but has the upisde to develop into a quality backup tight end to Gunnar Helm whose the only tight end on this roster with a higher ceiling.
     
     
     
     Tennessee has Gunnar Helm as their starting tight end, Daniel Bellinger as the backup tight end, Kyler Granson as the third string tight end, and Jaren Kanak as the fourth string tight end.
     
     
     
226. Cincinnati Bengals: Landon Robinson, DT, Navy A- Grade
     
     
     The 5-11 291 lb Landon Robinson had 31 solo tackles, 33 assisted tackles, 64 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, 7 quarterback hurries, and 6.5 sacks in 2025. Landon Robinson can play 4-3 defensive tackle, 3-4 right end, 3-4 nose tackle, and 3-4 left end with his versatility.
     
     
     
     Landon Robinson is a violent player with the pass rushing and run stuffing presence on the interior. I got a 91/99 potential grade on Landon Robinson as Tim Keenan III and Aaron Graves were the only defensive tackles I had graded higher than Landon Robinson at this point in the seventh round as I had a 91 on both of them too.
     
     
     
     Cincinnati has Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen as their starting defensive tackles. B.J. Hill and T.J. Slaton last years starting defensive tackles are the backups. McKinnley Jackson and Kris Jenkins Jr. last years backups are now the third string defensive tackles. Landon Robinson currently sits seventh on Cincinnati's depth chart at defensive tackle as a fourth string defensive tackle. Most teams that run a 4-2-5 nickel defense or a 4-3 defense only carry 4 defensive tackles on their final 53 man roster. There's a chance Landon Robinson begins on the practice squad if no other team claims him.
     
     
     
     
     
227. Carolina Panthers: Jackson Kuwatch, 3-4 MLB, Miami Ohio F Grade
     
     
     I got a 80/99 potential grade on Jackson Kuwatch. He did impress at Miami Ohio's Pro Day. He won't be anything more than a backup in Carolina.
     
     
     
228. New York Jets: VJ Payne, SS, Kansas State A Grade
     
     
     The 6-3 206 lb VJ Payne had 40 solo tackles, 19 assisted tackles, 59 total tackles, 3 deflections from pass breakups, 3 tackles for a loss, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 interception in 2025. I got a 89/99 potential grade on VJ Payne making this a great value pick with a fifth round prospect in the seventh round.
     
     
     
     New York has Minkah Fitzpaatrick at strong safety, Andre Cisco at free safety, Malachi Moore as the backup free safety, Dane Belton as the backup strong safety, and VJ Payne is the third string strong safety. VJ Payne will be a good backup on the New York Jets, but he probably will not start at strong safety as long as Minkah Fitzpatrick is on the New York Jets.
     
     
     
     
     
229. Las Vegas Raiders: Brandon Cleveland, NT, North Carolina State C+ Grade
     
     
     I had a 85/99 potential grade on Brandon Cleveland which barely qualifies as starter potential. Tony Mario wanted the Buccaneers to take this guy in round 6 as a backup to Vita Vea. Oren had to wait the entire draft for the Raiders to grab a nose tackle with the upside to develop into an NFL starter down the road.
     
     
     
     Las Vegas has Adam Butler and JJ Pegues as the starting nose tackle and akup nose tackle. The Raiders depth chart on Ourlads has Brandon Cleveland listed as a 3-4 right end, but he's only lined up at 4-3 defensive tackle and 3-4 nose tackle on tape. I also think Brandon Cleveland is better than both Adam Butler or last years sixth round pick JJ Pegues.
     
     
     
230. Pittsburgh Steelers: Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy A- Grade
     
     
     Pittsburgh drafts a gadget player here. Eli Heidenreich is the final player on my 2026 NFL Draft Simulator with a 89/99 potential grade ranked 178th on my big board.
     
     
     
     The 6-0 206 lb Eli Heidenreich had 77 carries, 499 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 51 receptions, 941 receiving yards, 6 receiving touchdowns, 128 touches, 1,440 total yards, and 9 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Eli Heidenreich is attending day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, so he will get picked somewhere on day 3. The hometown Pittsburgh Steelers drafted the former Mt. Lebanon Blue Devil in the seventh round.
     
     
     
     Pittsburgh has Jaylen Warren as their starting running back, Rico Dowdle as the backup running back, Kaleb Johnson as their third string running back, and Eli Heidenreich as their fourth string running back. Call me crazy, but Eli might have the highest potential of those four. He does have a low floor compared to the other veterans in Pittsburgh's locker room at running back and being a seventh round pick means you start out on fourth string and work your way up the depth chart.
     
     
     
     
     
231. Atlanta Falcons: Ethan Onianwa, LT, Ohio State F Grade
     
     
     Ethan Onianwa entered the preseason with 85 potential, but that declined to a 78/99 potential grade after failing to win the left tackle job after transferring from Rice to Ohio State. Atlanta gets their second F grade of this draft with this pick.
     
     
     
232. Los Angeles Rams: Tim Keenan III, NT, Alabama A+ Grade
     
     
     The 6-1 327 lb Tim Keenan III had 11 solo tackles, 5 assisted tackles, 16 total tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, 1 quarterback hurry, 1 delection from a pass breakup, 1 forced fumble, and 1 kick/blocked punt in 2025. Tim Keenan III's tape is better than his production with statistics. That's why I pointed out how he won triple teams against interior offensive lines even in games Alabama lost like the game against Georgia in the SEC Championship or Indiana in this years Rose Bowl. You have to just look at the tape with some nose tackles whether that is Deone Walker coming out of Kentucky last year or Tim Keenan III this year.
     
     
     
     Los Angeles has Braden Fiske at 3-4 right end, Poona Ford at 3-4 nose tackle, and Kobie Turner at 3-4 left end in the starting lineup of this depth chart. Larrell Murchison is the backup 3-4 right end, Tyler Davis is the backup 3-4 nose tackle, and Ty Hamilton is the backup 3-4 left end. Tim Keenan III is the third string 3-4 nose tackle.
     
     
     
     I got a 91/99 potential grade on Tim Keenan III. After Peter Woods and Christen Miller my top ranked defensive tackle and only defensive tackle with a second round grade was Tim Keenan III.
     
     
     
     
     
233. Jacksonville Jaguars: Zach Durfee, LE, Washington F Grade
     
     
     I had a 82/99 potential grade on Zach Durfee. He will never be anything more than a backup to Travon Walker. Jacksonville became the first team since the inception of Draft Utopia back in 2012 when the website launched to get 3 F grades in one draft. They still got one pick left at 240 too.
     
     
     
234. New England Patriots: Behren Morton, QB, Texas Tech A+ Grade
     
     
     The 6-2 221 lb Behren Morton had 3,335 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in 2024. Behren Morton had 2,780 passing yards, 22 passing touchdowns, and 6 interceptions leading Texas Tech to a Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff appearance in 2025.
     
     
     
     I had a 98/99 potential grade on Drake Maye two years ago in the 2024 NFL Draft. I had a 89/99 potential grade on Behren Morton whose gonna be competing with Tommy DeVito for the backup quarterback gig. I think Morton can win that job over DeVito which is why I gave the Patriots an A+ grade here.
     
     
     
     
     
235. Minnesota Vikings: Gavin Gerhardt, C, Cincinnati F Grade
     
     
     Minnesota drafted a center with a 84/99 potential grade. Other centers such as Kansas center Bryce Foster, Louisville center Pete Nygra, Florida State center Luke Petitbon, Miami FL center Jake Brocekrmyer, Arizona State center Ben Coleman, Fresno State center Jacob Spomer, Vanderbilt center Jordan White, and Louisiana Monroe center Elijah Fisher would have been better selections. There were 8 centers with potential to develop into starters and you take the guy whose going to be nothing more than a backup in the seventh round. Yeah, that's an F for the Minnesota Vikings.
     
     
     
236. Seattle Seahawks: Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo A Grade
     
     
     The 6-2 202 lb Andre Fuller had 29 solo tackles, 20 assisted tackles, 49 total tackles, 11 deflections from pass breakups, 2.5 tackles for a loss, and 1 interception in 2025. I had an 87/99 potential grade on Andre Fuller. I honeslty think he can push Josh Jobe for the boundary cornerback job and if he loses that, he could slide into nickel cornerback. The Seattle Seahawks took three cornerbacks in this draft with this being the second cornerback writeup posted. Believe me when I say this is the only good cornerback Seattle took. Julian Neal will end up being a reach while Fuller will be a steal like Tariq Woolen.
     
     
     
     
     
237. Indianapolis Colts: Seth McGowan, RB, Kentucky C Grade
     
     
     I got an 85/99 potential grade on Seth McGowan meaning he has just enough upside to develop into a starting running back. Jonathan Taylor is the only running back on this roster with Pro Bowl upside. DJ Giddens was a player I had an 87 on for potential. Now you add Seth McGowan as the thrid stringer to Taylor and Giddens. All of the sudden the running back depth in this backfield is good to the point where it allows the Colts to be a run heavy team.
     
     
     
238. Miami Dolphins: Max Llewellyn, LE, Iowa F Grade
     
     
     Miami took a defensive end with a 82/99 potential grade. Miami wasted a seventh round pick on a backup in a draft where I currently have 354 players with starter potential.
     
     
     
     
     
239. Buffalo Bills: Tommy Doman, P, Florida: A Grade
     
     
     I got a 85/99 potential grade on Tommy Doman. After Georgia punter Brett Thorson, this was the best punter in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tommy Doman is the starting punter on Buffalo's depth chart.
     
     
     
240. Jacksonville Jaguars: Parker Hughes, ROLB, Middle Tennessee State F Grade
     
     
     Jacksonville reached for a right outside linebacker. Parker Hughes is a reach at this point in the draft as he maxes out with a 78/99 potential grade.
     
     
     
     
     
241. Buffalo Bills: Ar'Maj Reed-Adams, RG, Texas A&M A+ Grade
     
     
     The 6-5 314 lb Ar'Maj Reed-Adams has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, run blocking footwork, zone blocking, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking you want from a guard. I have a 91/99 for potential on Ar'Maj Reed-Adams with an early third round grade on him.
     
     
     
     I had Ar'Maj Reed-Adams graded much higher than his teammate Chase Bistonis. If O'Cyrus Torrence whose ceiling is slightly higher than Reed-Adams does not re-sign with Buffalo, drafting Ar'Maj Reed-Adams allows you to reload at right guard in 2027.
     
     
     
242. Seattle Seahawks: Deven Eastern, NT, Minnesota F Grade
     
     
     I had a 82/99 potential grade on Deven Eastern. I only had an 86 on Byron Murphy II, but this guy is a warm body fo insurance behind Murphy. Guys like Aaron Graves out of Iowa, Dontay Corleone out of Cincinnati, Zxavien Harris out of Ole Miss would have been better selections here that would have warranted a much higher draft grade.
     
     
     
     
     
243. Houston Texans: Aiden Fisher, ROLB, Indiana A+ Grade
     
     
     The Houston Texans draft a day 1 starter at 4-3 right outside linebacker. Indiana outside linebacker Aiden Fisher. Aiden Fisher can play 4-3 right outside linebacker, 4-3 middle linebacker, 4-3 left outside linebacker, and 3-4 middle linebacker. Aiden Fisher is a lot more versatile than I realized. Aiden Fisher impressed me so much, that I moved him into the second round of my 2026 NFL Draft Simulator moving him up to 61st overall.
     
     
     
     The 6-0 233 lb Aiden Fisher had 46 solo tackles, 51 assisted tackles, 97 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, 5 quarterback hurries, 4.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 deflection from a pass breakup, and 1 forced fumble in 2025. Aiden Fisher could realistically take over for Henry To'oTo'o when his rookie deal is up next season. Since Houston already paid Azeez Al'Shaair, this is a great move. I had a 92/99 potential grade on Fisher, which is only slightly lower than the 93 I had on Henry To'oTo'o coming out of Alabama in the 2023 NFL Draft. Most NFL teams do not pay 2 linebackers unless they both function like pass rushers off the edge. Since Houston paid Azeez Al'Shaair, I'm thinking Aiden Fisher could be Houston's starting right outside linebacker in 2027.
     
     
     
244. Philadelphia Eagles: Cole Wisniewski, FS, Texas Tech Dry Cornbread Grade
     
     
     I had a 83/99 potential grade on Cole Wisniewski. That's a backup grade and the only whiff on what was otherwise a flawless draft by Howie Roseman. Since William likes Cole Wisniewski I'll be nice to Eagles fans and give them Dry Cornbread instead of an F grade. Other GMs got multiple dry cornbread grades, but Howie Roseman only did poor enough to warrant one slice of dry cornbread since he crushed this draft for the most part outside of this pick. Safeties such as Ahmaad Moses SMU, Xavien Alford Arizona State, Jalen Catalon Missouri, Xavier Nwankpa Iowa, Nick Andersen Wake Forest, and Caleb Weaver out of Duke would have been better selections than Cole Wisniewski.
     
     
     
     
     
245. New England Patriots: Jam Miller, RB, Alabama A Grade
     
     
     The 5-10 221 lb Jam Miller had 130 carries, 504 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 19 receptions, 109 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns, 149 touches, 613 total yards, and 3 total touchdowns in 2025. Jam Miller has a potential grade of 88/99, but he struggled at Alabama in his draft year.
     
     
     
     New England now has Rhamondre Stevenson as their starting running back, TreVeyon Henderson as their backup running back, and Jam Miller as their third string running back. I had Jam Miller as my final pick in the sixth round of my mock draft, so this is a good replacement to Antonio Gibson here in the seventh round.
     
     
     
246. Denver Broncos: Miles Scott, FS, Illinois A+ Grade
     
     
     I had a 85/99 potential grade on Miles Scott. He was versatile enough to play both strong safety and free safety, but is mainly a free safety. Denver gets a safety they can groom behind free safety Brandon Jones in the late rounds.
     
     
     
     
     
247. New England Patriots: Quintayvious Hutchins, 3-4 LOLB, Boston College F Grade
     
     
     New England took a player that maxes out at a 77/99 potential grade. I gave New England an F grade with their final pick as they took a warm body that can only get 7 quarterback hurries and 2 sacks here. For the second year in a row Elliott Wolf drafted well enough to avoid an F grade until the seventh round.
     
     
     
248. Cleveland Browns: Carsen Ryan, TE, BYU A Grade
     
     
     I got an 88/99 for potential on Carsen Ryan. He will have to earn his roster spot as a seventh round pick though. Cleveland got a third string tight end in the seventh round after taking Joe Royer out of Cincinnati earlier in this draft to be the backup to Harold Fannin Jr. I had a 87 for potential on Harold Fannin Jr. stating that Fannin Jr. had the floor of a day 1 starter, a 89 on Joe Royer, and a 88 on Carsen Ryan. Harold Fannin Jr. looks like the only one of this group that may exceed their potential. If either Royer or Ryan reach their potential this will be a very competitive Cleveland Browns tight end room.
     
     
     
     The 6-3 255 lb Carsen Ryan had 45 receptions, 620 yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Carsen Ryan ran 24/30 routes on the route tree. That is second to only Michael Trigg as Ryan has an 88/99 potential grade with Trigg knowing all 30 routes. He runs 9 more routes than first round pick Kenyon Sadiq, 13 more routes than Max Klare despite not having Klare's upside, and runs 14 more routes than Eli Stowers. Ryan is a guy a lot of people are sleeping on as he was a player I had a sixth round grade on.
     
     
     
     
     
249. Kansas City Chiefs: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU A+ Grade
     
     
     Indianapolis gets this pick 249 in the seventh round for losing quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland was able to trade Joe Flacco for a higher draft pick in the fifth round of this years draft. Indianapolis traded this seventh round pick to Pittsburgh when Pittsburgh traded up for Germie Bernard. Pittsburgh traded 161 and 249 to Kansas City in exchange for 169 and 210. Kansas City got Emmett Johnson a top 50 running back and Garrett Nussmeier my preseason QB1 with those picks while Pittsburgh got a Connor Heyward replacement and a backup nose tackle that has no business playing in Gabriel Rubio. Safe to say the Kansas City Chiefs got the best of Pittsburgh in this draft trade which led to the Chiefs getting pick 249 because Nussmeier was graded higher than Drew Allar the quarterback Pittsburgh took in the third round.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 203 lb Garrett Nussmeier had 4,052 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, 3 rushing touchdowns, 32 total touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and a 64.2% completion percentage after taking over for Jayden Daniels as the starting quarterback at LSU in 2024. Garrett Nussmeier only had 1,927 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, and 5 interceptions in 2025. Garrett Nussmeier did less with a weaker supporting cast and only runs two offensive schemes with a shotgun spread offense and a vertical offense. Nussmeier struggled when his first read wasn't open and opposing defenses managed to get pressure on him on the same exact play. This happened quite a bit, but the good outweighed the bad when it came to decision making from Garrett Nussmeier. He did go on to be MVP of the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl.
     
     
     
     Patrick Mahomes might be the only 99 max overall quarterback in the league outside of Josh Allen on the Buffalo Bills. I had a 98 for potential on Justin Fields. I had an 89/99 potential on Garrett Nussmeier who gets to be a third stringer this year and potentially Mahomes backup for the next three seasons on a rookie deal starting in 2027.
     
     
     
     Here is film of Garrett Nussmeier against Clemson. You can watch that video below.
     
     
     
     
     
     
250. Baltimore Ravens: Rayshaun Benny, 3-4 LE, Michigan A+ Grade
     
     
     Baltimore gets this pick 250 in the seventh round for losing cornerback Tre'Davious White. Tre'Davious White signed with the Buffalo Bills.
     
     
     
     The 6-3 298 lb Rayshaun Benny had 19 solo tackles, 16 assisted tackles, 35 total tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 2 deflections from pass breakups, 2 quarterback hurries, and 1.5 sacks in 2025. Rayshaun Benny had a good week in the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl showcasing his pass rushing and run stuffing.
     
     
     
     I had a 90/99 potential grade on Rayshaun Benny. If Justin Madubuike and Rayshaun Benny are both healthy, Baltimore could have two five technique 3-4 defensive ends with Pro Bowl upside.
     
     
     
     
     
251. Philadelphia Eagles: Uar Bernard, 3-4 LE, Nigeria A- Grade
     
     
     Los Angeles gets this pick at 251 for losing Demarcus Robinson at wide receiver. Demarcus Robinson signed with the San Francisco 49ers, one of the Los Angeles Rams division rivals. Philaelphia traded 197 the Falcons sixth round pick they got in the Sydney Brown trade to the Los Angeles Rams for 207, 251, and 252.
     
     
     
     I gave Uar Bernard a 85/99 potential grade. He probably takes over for Moro Ojomo the Philadelphia Eagles current starting 3-4 left end whose on the final year of his rookie deal in 2027.
     
     
     
252. Philadelphia Eagles: Keyshawn James-Newby, 3-4 LOLB, New Mexico A Grade
     
     
     Los Angeles gets pick 252 after losing Christian Rozeboom. Christian Rozeboom signed with the Carolina Panthers. Philaelphia traded 197 the Falcons sixth round pick they got in the Sydney Brown trade to the Los Angeles Rams for 207, 251, and 252.
     
     
     
     I had a 86/99 potential grade on Keyshawn James-Newby. Philadelphia now has Jonathan Greenard as their starting 3-4 right outside linebacker, Nolan Smith as their starting 3-4 left outside linebacker, Jalyx Hunt as the backup 3-4 right outside linebacker, and Keyshawn James-Newby as the backup 3-4 left outside linebacker.
     
     
     
     
     
253. Baltimore Ravens: Evan Beernsten, RG, Northwestern Dry Cornbread Grade
     
     
     Baltimore gets this pick 253 in the seventh round for losing right tackle Josh Jones. Josh Jones signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
     
     
     
     I got a 81/99 potential on Evan Beernsten. I don't see him ever becoming a starting right guard with John Simpson and Emery Jones Jr. on this depth chart. He didn't give up any sacks after transferring from South Dakota State to Northwestern in 2025 and that's the lone encouraging detail about this pick.
     
     
     
     Evan Beernsten is mainly a right guard. He does have the versatility to play center as well though. Evan Beernsten is the third string right guard on the Ravens depth chart.
     
     
     
254. Indianapols Colts: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma A Grade
     
     
     Indianapolis gets this pick 254 in the seventh round for losing left outside linebacker E.J. Speed to the Houston Texans. Indianapolis got their future slot receiver with this final pick.
     
     
     
     The 5-10 180 lb had 57 receptions, 620 receiving yards, and 4 receiving touchdowns. Burks has the ceiling to develop into a slot receiver as I gave him a 88/99 potential grade. He's a deep threat not a big route tree guy. Indianapolis will have Josh Downs as their flanker wide receiver, Alec Pierce as their secondary wide receiver, and Deion Burks as their slot receiver. It's possible Pierce plays flanker with how much he got paid, but Downs is better in my honest opinion.
     
     
     
     
     
255. Seattle Seahawks: Michael Dansby, CB, Arizona F Grade
     
     
     Green Bay got this compensation pick at 255 for losing center Josh Myers to the New York Jets. Green Bay got 216, the final pick in the sixth round, but had to trade 236 and 255 to Seattle.
     
     
     
     I got a 78/99 potential grade on Michael Dansby. This is Seattle's third F grade of this draft, but Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider led Seattle to their second Super Bowl, so his job security is through the roof.
     
     
     
256. Denver Broncos: Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah A+ Grade
     
     
     Denver got this compensation pick at 256 for losing punter Riley Dixon to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Denver drafts a tight end for depth here.
     
     
     
     I got a 87/99 potential grade on Dallen Bentley. He's a good fourth string tight end with upside to develop into a starter. I don't see Denver bringing back Evan Engram whose a 2027 UFA after drafting both Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley. Joly will move up to backup tight end and Bentley will move up to third string tight end. Both Joly and Bentley could be starters in 2029 when Trautman sees his contract expire.
     
     
     
     
     
257. Denver Broncos: Red Murdock, 3-4 MLB, Buffalo A+ Grade
     
     
     Dever got this compensation pick at 257 for losing running back Javonte Williams to the Dallas Cowboys. Denver takes a 3-4 middle linebacker with the Mr. Irrelevant pick.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 232 lb Red Murdock had 53 solo tackles, 89 assisted tackles, 142 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss, 6 forced fumbles, 5 sacks, 1 deflection from a pass breakup, and 1 quarterback hurry in 2025. He's the only other middle linebacker outside of Anthony Hill Jr. that I've seen have success as a pass rusher, run stuffer, and a middle linebacker dropping back into coverage while watching his tape. He might be a day 1 starter for Denver despite being Mr. Irrelevant since I had a second round grade on him.
     
     
     
     I had a 92/99 potential grade on Red Murdock. He was my third best middle linebacker in the entire 2026 NFL Draft behind only Anthony Hill Jr. and Arvel Reese. This is easily the best Mr. Irrelevant pick since San Francisco drafted Brock Purdy with the Mr. Irrelevant pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Denver traded out of the first two rounds of this draft much like the Dallas Stars in the 2025 NHL Draft and still got premium value with every selection.
