NFL Draft Preview

by Henry Ramanathan ‘26 and Thomas Danahy ‘26

and Panthers recently swapped their picks while the Bears also received DJ Moore, two second round picks, and a future first. There are 4 teams with multiple draft picks, including: The Texans, Seahawks, Lions, and Eagles all from trades. All of these teams also possess a top ten pick, so they have plenty of strong capital this draft. This class is strong at the QB position, with Bryce Young being the main highlight. Despite height concerns, his precise accuracy is part of the reason why he won the heisman 2 years ago. CJ Stroud and Will Levis are also locks in the first round, with Stroud being a great game manager and Levis having great athleticism. This class also presents a very weak WR class with only Jordan Addison being a lock in the first, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba could be a sleeper. Bijan Robinson is arguably one of the best

RB prospects since Saquon Barkley, with elite hands, but the rest of this RB class is quite poor. The TE class presents one great TE prospect in Michael Mayer, and OL Peter Skoronski and Broderick Jones are enticing for teams with holes in their offensive line. Moving on to the defense, Edge Will Anderson Jr. is considered one of the best prospects in this class and some even describe him as a ‘generational talent’. Along with Anderson are Tyree Wilson and Myles Murphy, two strong prospects likely to be selected around the top 10. On the DL, Jordan Davis stands far above the rest as another ‘generational talent’, and in the secondary CBs Christian Gonzalez and Kelee Ringo stand out, yet no LBs or Safeties seem too notable.
