DRAFT NEWS

Safety is a position that is often overlooked and undervalued in the NFL. NFL GMs tend to place the highest priority in the NFL Draft on QB, OT, WR, EDGE, IDL, and CB. In other words, positions that either support the QB or positions that directly attempt to stop the QB typically take priority early in a draft for an NFL squad. Saturday selections (rounds 4-7) are generally used on RBs, TEs, IOL, LB, Safeties, Kickers, and Punters. But the 2026 Safety class looks to potential

The potential top OT prospects look to be similar in quality to last year’s class and should provide NFL teams with several starting caliber OTs next April, including a couple of players projected to be elite blindside protectors in the NFL. The depth at OT should provide teams with potential starters available on days two and three of the draft next spring. This class is stocked with big and long levered OTs who check the boxes from a physical specimen stand point.

The 2025 NFL Draft offered one of the best and deepest groups of TEs to enter the league in memory as Colston Loveland (Chicago) and Tyler Warren (Indianapolis) were selected in the first round and twelve were drafted across seven rounds. The prospective top TEs available for next April’s draft may not offer a single player who grades out as a first-round pick. But several prospects look like eventual NFL starters or at least as quality backup TEs.

The majority of the top WR prospects in college football this season figure to be sophomores who only left high school prior to the 2024 season and are therefore not available this next April. Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State), Ryan Williams (Alabama), Cam Coleman (Auburn), TJ Moore and Bryant Wesco (Clemson), Ryan Wingo (Texas), and Nick Marsh (Michigan State) are all potential first round picks, but no sooner than the 2027 NFL Draft.

The 2025 RB class is one of the best group of prospects to enter the NFL in the last two decades. Unfortunately, the 2026 class does not look like it has as much elite, top end talent nor the depth of last April’s class. This class is unlikely to offer a Top 10 prospect like Ashton Jeanty, who was selected by Las Vegas with the sixth pick last spring, but there a few prospects who may warrant first round consideration with a quality season this fall.

After a down year for the QB position in the NFL Draft, the prospective top upper classmen signal callers could be a bounce back class that delivers several potential franchise QBs to NFL teams in need next April. Although there is no clear-cut leader in this class, there are several prospects that have the combination of physical tools, mental makeup, and game experience to be drafted first overall next year.

The college football season is in full swing as week one of the college football season in the books. Florida State, a preseason favorite to win the ACC and make the 12-team college football playoffs, has started off 0-2 with both losses to ACC opponents and Oregon struggled to a 10-point victory over FCS opponent Idaho on Saturday. So, the season is off to an exciting start.
