The Kansas City Chiefs selected LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Nussmeier showcased NFL upside in 2024 throwing for 4,052 yards with 29 TDs and 12 INTs. Nussmeier suffered a core injury before the 2025 season which affects his play. He would miss the final four games ending the season with 1,927 yards with 12 TDs and 5 INTs. He did increase his completion percentage from 64.2% in 2024 to 67.4% in 2025. Nussmeier also does have negative rushing yards in each of the last two seasons, profiling as a pocket passer at the next level. Among the 15 QBs invited to the NFL Combine, Simpson ranked eighth in 2025 adjusted completion percentage (77.4%), but dead last in aDOT (7.0). He also ranked eighth in 2025 Big Time Throw rate (4.5%) and 15th in rushing yards per game when removing sacks (7.1). He is currently 24 years old.

The New England Patriots selected Alabama RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite leading Alabama in rushing each of the past two seasons, he averaged just 48.8 yards per game in that span. Efficiency never spiked either, with 4.6 yards per carry as a junior and 3.9 as a senior. That’s underwhelming output for a top-5 RB recruit in the 2022 class, per 247Sports. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Miller ranked ninth in 2025 rushing market share (44.1%), and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (2.45). He ranked 16th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.17) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (0.75). He will turn 22 years old next week.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Kentucky RB Seth McGowan in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. McGowan began his career at Oklahoma in 2022. Robbery and battery charges derailed his path, though. “It was difficult. At some point, I was facing like 70 years,” he admitted in comments made to Kentucky Sports Radio. He resurfaced at Butler Community College in 2023 before jumping to New Mexico State in 2024. There, he out-produced fellow prospect Mike Washington Jr. 5.4 yards per carry to 4.6. McGowan’s 2025 slipped, however, as he mustered only 4.4 YPC at Kentucky. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, McGowan ranked seventh in 2025 rushing market share (47.5%), and 17th in yards after contact per attempt (2.72). He ranked 12th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.21) and 17th in receiving yards per route run (0.70). He is currently 25 years old.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Navy RB Eli Heidenreich in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Heidenreich racked up 3,151 yards over the past three seasons while playing both RB and WR. He totaled 169 career carries for Navy’s option-centric attack and churned out a strong 6.8 yards per attempt. He drew 172 targets for his career and tallied a school-record 941 yards in 2025. Heidenreich could stick at RB or even play WR for his new team. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Heidenreich ranked 12th in yards after contact per attempt (3.17) and second in 2025 Explosive Run percentage (20.8%). He ranked first in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.30) and in receiving yards per route run (4.73). He is currently 22 years old.

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Texas TE Jack Endries in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Endries committed to Cal in the same class as Fernando Mendoza, with Cal the only Power-4 offer for either player. After a 2022 redshirt, Endries emerged as a 2023 starter. He went 35-407-2, playing with three different QBs. When Mendoza took over full time, Endries erupted going 56-623-2. An athletic move TE, Endries played 46.9%

of his snaps from the slot. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Endries ranked eighth in 2025 aDOT (8.2), and 19th in team market share of receiving yards (12.8%). He ranked 20th in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (0.97) and last in receiving yards per route run (1.07). He is currently 22 years old.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Commanders have big-time interest in WR Brandon Aiyuk. According to Rapoport, that interest stands as a key reason the 49ers haven't unloaded the disgruntled veteran yet. San Francisco doesn't want to release a guy it believes Washington will trade for, while the Commanders don't want to pay for a player they believe the Niners will release.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Miami WR CJ Daniels in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Daniels is already 24 after spending six years in college. That run included a torn right ACL in the spring of 2022. Daniels finally broke out for 1,064 yards and 10 scores in his fourth season at Liberty before transferring to LSU for the 2024 campaign. He finished just fourth on that team with 42 catches and 480 yards. Daniels was better at Miami this past year, ranking third in catches (50) and yards (557) and second in TDs (7). His 33.8% dominator rating ranked ninth among 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But his 1.73 yards per route ranked 37th. And this all came as a 23-year-old, sixth-year college player. Daniels is a fine route runner with passable ball skills. But there’s no standout trait to his game. He seems unlikely to develop into a real fantasy factor.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Wake Forest RB Demond Claiborne in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Claiborne spent three years leading the Wake Forest backfield, stacking good production despite a middling offense. That included 1,956 rushing yards, 21 TDs, and 51 receptions over his final two years. He even squeezed out a career-best 5.1 yards per carry in 2025 after suffering a rib injury in the opener. Claiborne brings legit juice. His 42.5% breakaway rate, per Pro Football Focus, underscores how often he delivered runs of 15+ yards. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Claiborne ranked sixth in 2025 rushing market share (48.1%), and 14th in yards after contact per attempt (3.04). He ranked 10th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.21) and 17th in receiving yards per route run (0.66). He is currently 22 years old.

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Oregon WR Malik Benson in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Benson starred for two seasons at Hutchinson Community College and left as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,152). That breakout caught Nick Saban’s eye and earned him a transfer to Alabama. But the jump in competition crushed the production. Benson wound up seventh on the Tide in catches (13) and sixth in receiving yards (162). A 2024 move to Florida State found only marginal improvement (25-311-1), due at least in part to poor QB play. Benson bounced back this past season at Oregon, leading the team with 719 receiving yards and finishing second to TE Kenyon Sadiq with 43 catches and 6 TDs. His 2.60 yards per route ranked seventh among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Benson averaged 16.7 yards per catch for the Ducks and confirmed that big-play ability with a 4.37-second 40 time at the Combine. He’s undersized at 189 pounds, though, and enters the NFL as an unrefined 23-year-old.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Baylor WR Josh Cameron in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. After three quiet seasons as a walk-on, Cameron led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards, and TDs in both 2024 and 2025. He earned All-Big 12 honors as a punt returner in 2024 and as a WR in 2025. Cameron’s 26.3% dominator rating (share of team’s receiving yards + TDs) last year ranked 21st among the 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But he ranked outside the top 35 in both targets per route (0.20) and yards per route (1.70). He never hit 2.0 yards per route across his five college seasons. Cameron is a power player at 6’2 and 220 pounds. He’s a legitimate red-zone weapon with strong body control, timing, and ball tracking. Cameron was one of only six FBS players with 19+ receiving scores over the past two seasons. He also boasts reliable hands, dropping only 7 passes at Baylor (4.0% drop rate). But Cameron struggles to separate and will need to continue winning contested balls at the next level.

The New Orleans Saints selected LSU WR Barion Brown in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Brown’s best work came as a freshman at Kentucky in 2022. He led that Wildcats team with 79 targets, 50 catches, and 628 receiving yards. Brown’s 2.20 yards per route was also best among the team’s top 8 targets. But he failed to progress the next two seasons. Brown finished third on the team in receiving yards in 2023 (539) and second in 2024 (361). His yards per route: 1.80 and 1.89. Brown transferred this past year to LSU, where he led the team with 53 catches and 532 yards. But he scored just once and ranked 45th among 49 WRs invited to the Combine with a 12.7% dominator rating (share of team’s receiving yards + TDs). Brown also posted a career-worst 1.77 yards per route. Drops were a problem throughout his college career (10.7% drop rate). And he’s undersized at 5’10, 177 pounds. On the plus side, Brown ran for 228 yards and two scores over the last four seasons and was an elite returner. He set Kentucky records for kickoff return average in a season (36.0 yards) and career (30.3). Brown ran a 4.40-second 40-yard dash at the Combine and recorded the fastest speed among all WRs at the Senior Bowl.

The Washington Commanders selected Penn State RB Kaytron Allen in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen brings one of the most well-rounded profiles in this RB class. The four-year contributor rushed for 867 yards and 10 TDs as a freshman. Over his final two seasons, Allen piled up 2,411 yards and 23 TDs on 430 carries, out-producing teammate Nick Singleton. Allen finished as Penn State’s all-time leading rusher with 4,180 yards. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Allen ranked second in 2025 rushing market share (61.2%), and fifth in yards after contact per attempt (3.77). He ranked fourth in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.27) and 20th in receiving yards per route run (0.48). He is currently 23 years old.

The Cleveland Browns selected Arkansas QB Taylen Green in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Green started for two years at Boise State before transferring to Arkansas for his final two seasons. He combined for 5,868 passing yards with 34 passing TDs and 20 INTs over those two years. Green also added 1,379 rushing yards and 16 rushing TDs. Green’s game was bult on his elite athleticism. He ran a 4.36 40 with a 43.50” Vertical and 11’02” Broad Jump at 6’5 3/4 and 227 pounds. Among the 15 QBs invited to the NFL Combine, Green ranked 15th in 2025 adjusted completion percentage (71.3%), and sixth in aDOT (9.5). He ranked 12th in 2025 Big Time Throw rate (3.2%) and second in rushing yards per game when removing sacks (82.8). He is currently 23 years old.

The Miami Dolphins selected Mississippi State TE Seydou Traore in Round 5 of the NFL Draft. Traore is a part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway (IPP) program, meaning he won’t count against the Dolphins’ roster. Traore was not invited to the NFL Combine. The Dolphins previously drafted TE Will Kacmarek in Round 3. Traore does offer more receiving upside than Kacmarek. Traore caught 35 passes for 369 yards and 4 TDs in 2025. He broke out in 2022 going 50-655-4 at Arkansas State. Traore only sits at 233 pounds, playing mainly in the slot this past season.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected North Dakota State QB Cole Payton in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Payton played a Taysom Hill type role in 2023 & 2024, rushing for 414 yards over those two seasons. He won the QB job in 2025. As a one-year starter, Payton threw for 2,719 yards with 16 TDs and 4 INTs. He also rushed for 777 yards and 13 TDs. An elite athlete, Payton had a 9.87 RAS with a 4.56 40 at 6’3 and 232 pounds. He also ranked 99th percentile in Vertical (40”) and Broad Jump (10’10”). Among the 15 QBs invited to the NFL Combine, Payton ranked fifth in 2025 adjusted completion percentage (78.3%), and first in aDOT (12.3). He also ranked first in 2025 Big Time Throw rate (11.3%) and fourth in rushing yards per game when removing sacks (39.8). He is currently 23 years old.

The Miami Dolphins selected Missouri WR Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s college career was a tour. He opened at Jackson State under Deion Sanders, transferred to Louisville for 2023, and then broke out at Mississippi State in 2024. Coleman caught 74 balls for 932 yards and 6 TDs that year – all team highs. His 2.32 yards per route ranked 57th among 260 FBS WRs with 50+ targets. Coleman transferred to Missouri this past year and again led his team in receptions (66) and receiving yards (732). He ranked 18th in targets per route (0.26) and 26th in yards per route (2.23) among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Coleman goes just 5’10, 179 pounds and looks like a slot-only player in the NFL. He logged 92% of his snaps inside in college and registered a career 9.5-yard average target depth. That leaves him with a relatively unexciting fantasy ceiling.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Cincinnati WR Cyrus Allen in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen spent his first two college seasons at Louisiana Tech, finshing third on the team with 500 receiving yards as a freshman and second with 778 as a sophomore. Allen transferred to Texas A&M for his junior campaign but suffered a season-ending arm injury in November. Allen wrapped up his college career at Cincinnati, where he led the Bearcats in all major receiving categories. Allen’s 13 TDs were tied for third most in the FBS. He also posted strong advanced metrics: a 32.8% dominator rating and 2.42 yards per route. Both marks ranked top-16 among 52 of the top WRs in this year’s class. Allen is undersized at 5’11, 183 pounds with middling athleticism (4.49-second 40 time, 36-inch vertical). But he’s a twitchy route runner with plus ball skills. His most likely path to NFL playing time is in the slot, where he ran 92% of his routes last year.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Clemson RB Adam Randall in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Randall played WR until 2024 but switched to full-time RB late that season. In 2025, he led Clemson with 814 rushing yards and 10 TDs, commanding a 65.1% carry share and earning clear trust from the coaching staff. At 6’2, 235 pounds, Randall brings rare size for a converted receiver. That background shows up in the passing game, where he snagged 36 passes for 254 yards. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Randall ranked fifth in 2025 rushing market share (49.5%), and 13th in yards after contact per attempt (3.13). He ranked 15th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.19) and 11th in receiving yards per route run (0.91). He is currently 21 years old.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Alabama TE Josh Cuevas in Round 5 of the NFL Draft. The Ravens took Cuevas after selecting TE Matthew Hibner in Round 4. Cuevas flashed a bit as a receiver with 37 catches for 411 yards and 4 TDs. He also offers enough blocking upside to compete with Hibner for the No. 2 spot on the Ravens. Among the 27 TEs who attended the NFL Combine, Cuevas ranked 13th in team market share of of receptions (15.4%) and 14th in team market share of receiving yards (14.0%). He ranked 15th in yards per team pass attempt (1.15) and 22nd in yards per route run (1.25).

The Cleveland Browns selected Cincinnati TE Joe Royer in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A former four-star TE at Ohio State, he transferred back home to Cincinnati in 2024. Royer immediately won the starting job. Royer showed receiving promise with a 50-521-3 line in 2024. He took a slight step back in 2025 (29-416-4) with the Bearcats needing more blocking help. Royer spent 49.5% of his snaps at Cincinnati in the slot and 44.1% inline. He showed success in run and pass blocking and created mismatches against slot CBs and LBs. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Royer ranked 21st in 2025 aDOT (6.2), and 13th in team market share of receiving yards (14.4%). He ranked 13th in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (1.21) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (1.49). He is currently 24 years old.
