Big Board 150 - Position Rankings

QB

The 2026 NFL Draft QB class appears to be one of the weakest group of signal callers to enter the league in decades. There is only one, true potential franchise QB in this year's draft - Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), the Heisman Trophy winner. No other QB in the 2026 NFL Draft has earned a first-round grade and only eight QBs are ranked amongst the top 150 prospects for April's draft. Teams like the Jets, Cardinals, Dolphins, Rams, and Steelers are unlikely to find any long-term starters in this year's draft.

1. Fernando Mendoza / Indiana

2. Trinidad Chambliss / Ole Miss

3. Ty Simpson / Alabama

4. Carson Beck / Miami, Fl

5. Haynes King / Georgia Tech

6. Garrett Nussmeier / LSU

16. Taylen Green / Arkansas

17. Behren Morton / Texas Tech

18. Jacob Clark / Missouri State

19. Athan Kaliakmanis / Rutgers

20. Braylon Braxton / Southern Mississippi

RB

Jeremiyah Love currently stands as the only RB to have earned a first round grade. The 2026 RB class has excellent depth with approximately 15-18 prospects who project as potential starters or major contributors early in their NFL careers. Ten RBs earned a spot on the Big Board 150 and look likely to be drafted in the first four rounds of April's draft.

1. Jeremiyah Love / Notre Dame

2. Jonah Coleman / Washington

3. Emmett Johnson / Nebraska

WR

The deepest position on the SNS Big Board is WR - 20 of the top 150 prospects are wideouts with the top four prospects earning first-round grades. Future starting WRs are likely to be found in all seven rounds of April's draft with solid contributors and special teams stalwarts likely to be found in the UDFA ranks after the draft. WR is the deepest offensive position in the 2026 NFL Draft with quite a few potential future Pro Bowlers in this class.

1. Makai Lemon / USC

2. Carnell Tate / Ohio State

3. Jordyn Tyson / Arizona State

4. Chris Bell / Louisville

5. Germie Bernard / Alabama

6. Malachi Fields / Notre Dame

34. Ja'Kobi Lane / USC

35. Kaden Wetjen / Iowa

TE

Although aside from Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq, a potential top 10 selection in April, there are not any TEs who are likely to earn first-round grades, this TE class offers more than two dozen future NFL starters and contributors. This continues a trend where college football is well-aligned with the NFL in developing TEs. The TE depth looks so deep that several UDFA from this class are likely to have long and productive NFL careers. Ten TEs made the Big Board 150 with the majority of these TEs earning second to fourth round grades.

1. Kenyon Sadiq / Oregon

2. Max Klare / Ohio State

3. Tanner Koziol / Houston

4. Justin Joly / North Carolina State

5. Eli Stowers / Vanderbilt

6. Michael Trigg / Baylor

7. Sam Roush / Stanford

8. DJ Rogers / TCU

9. Jack Endries / Texas

10. Dae'Quan Wright / Ole Miss

11. Josh Cuevas / Alabama

12. Oscar Delp / Georgia

13. Seydou Traore / Mississippi State

14. Jaren Kanak / TE-FB / Oklahoma

15. Joe Royer / Cincinnati

16. Lance Mason / Wisconsin

17. Bauer Sharp / LSU

18. Carsen Ryan / BYU

19. Matt Lauter / Boise State

21. Dallen Bentley / Utah

22. Riley Nowakowski / TE-FB / Indiana

23. Chamon Metayer / Arizona State

24. Eli Raridon / Notre Dame

25. Marlin Klein / Michigan

OT

The 2026 NFL Draft OT class is unusually deep with quality starting potential outside pass blockers with the size, length, and lateral agility desired by NFL teams. Eighteen OT made the Big Board 150 with five prospects earning top 33 grades. There are few true franchise OTs in this draft with the top two prospects (Mauigoa and Fano) being ORTs, although Fano could project to the QB's blind side in the NFL. Quite a few of these prospects are likely to slide inside to guard or center in the NFL, mostly due to possessing shorter than desired arms (< 33").

1. Francis Mauigoa / Miami, Fl

2. Spencer Fano / Utah

3. Kadyn Proctor / Alabama

4. Caleb Lomu / Utah

5. Max Iheanachor / Arizona State

6. Isaiah World / Oregon

7. Austin Barber / Florida

8. Caleb Tiernan / Northwestern

9. Blake Miller / Clemson

10. Gennings Dunker / Iowa

11. McKale Boley / Virginia

12. Monroe Freeling / Georgia

13. Aamil Wagner / Notre Dame

14. Trey Zuhn / Texas A&M

15. Gunnar Hansen / Florida State

16. Keagan Trost / Missouri

17. Alan Herron / Maryland

18. Micah Pettus / Florida State

19. Jude Bowry / Boston College

27. Pat McMurtrie / James Madison

28. JC Davis / Illinois

29. Diego Pounds / Ole Miss

30. Alex Harkey / Oregon

IOL

Eight of the prospects on the Big Board 150 are IOL with the top two prospects being guards Pregnon and Ioane. The top center on the board is Slaughter, an experienced, durable, and athletic SEC pivot. Expect a run on IOL, especially centers, early on day three of the draft.

Seventeen IDL make the Big Board 150, including four of the top 40 prospects in April's draft. The class has quality depth with future starters and major contributors available through all seven rounds in Pittsburgh at the end of April.

LB

The 2026 NFL Draft figures to provide one of the best and deepest groups of LBs to enter the league in years. Twelve LBs made the Big Board 150, including two LBs who have earned first round grades - Arvell Reese (Ohio State), a college LB who is likely to convert to EDGE in the NFL, and Anthony Hill (Texas). A name to keep an eye on as the Combine approaches is Jacob Rodriguez (Texas Tech), who swept nearly every defensive award in the nation while finishing fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Rodriguez, currently ranked the number 36 overall prospect, is a productive playmaker who creates havoc regularly on defense. If Rodriguez runs a sub-4.65 40 and moves well during on-field drills in Indianapolis, Rodriguez will likely vault into first-round consideration.

1. Arvell Reese / Ohio State

2. Anthony Hill / Texas

3. Jacob Rodriguez / Texas Tech

5. Sonny Styles / Ohio State

6. CJ Allen / Georgia

23. Wade Woodaz / Clemson

24. Jackson Kuwatch / Miami, Oh

25. Justin Jefferson / Alabama

CB

The 2026 NFL Draft CB class is a quality group of cover CBs with the size, length, agility, and ball skills to become starters or quality NFL contributors early in their NFL careers. Seventeen CBs made the Big Board 150 with five prospects earning first round grades for April's draft. The depth of this class is good with rookie contributors to be found in all seven rounds and in the UDFA class.

Safety

The 2026 NFL Draft Safety class features a talented top of the class with three prospects earning first round grades and eleven safeties in total made the Big Board 150. The Safety class is not especially deep and there is likely to be only 15 or so Safeties to likely get drafted this spring. Special teams is the most likely path for the majority of these prospects to earn an NFL job.

2. Bud Clark / TCU

3. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren / Toledo

Specialists

The potential specialists that are available are unlikely to generate a lot of draft buzz and most of the prospects are likely to go undrafted. The top specialists, and likely fifth or sixth round draft picks, are punters Ryan Eckley (Michigan State) and Brett Thorson (Georgia). Both punters look like long-term NFL starters. The kickers are largely a question mark because the best kicking prospects are underclassmen and will be in college next fall. Every kicker listed has a strong leg capable of hitting from 55+ yards but consistency has been an issue for these kickers.

Kickers

1. Drew Stevens / Iowa

2. Trey Smack / Florida

3. Dominic Zvada / Michigan

4. Will Ferrin / BYU

5. Kansei Matsuzawa / Hawaii

Punters

1. Ryan Eckley / Michigan State

2. Brett Thorson / Georgia

3. Cole Maynard / Western Kentucky

5. Wes Pahl / Oklahoma State

Long Snappers
