(Last Updated: March 5, 2026)
1. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana
QB | 6’5″ | 236 lbs | 4th Year
Fernando Mendoza Scouting Report
Fernando Mendoza enters the 2026 draft as the most polished quarterback in the class and a likely franchise-caliber talent. After flashing efficiency and toughness at Cal, he took a major step forward as a passer and decision-maker while leading Indiana to a National Championship.
Mendoza’s biggest strength is his processing speed. He consistently works through progressions, anticipates windows, and plays on time, a set of traits that most QB prospects lack. His accuracy to all levels stands out, especially between the numbers and on intermediate throws.
He shows strong pocket feel, subtle movement, and the ability to reset his base under pressure. While not a true dual threat, he is athletic enough to extend plays and punish coverage breakdowns. Mendoza does not have a cannon arm and won’t win with pure velocity, but he has good enough arm strength, and his touch and timing give him a very high floor. Teams picking top-5 will also love the role he played in transforming Indiana into a National Chamionship winning team.
Fernando Mendoza 2025 Stats
16 games: 3535 passing yards, 41 passing touchdowns, 6 interceptions, 72.0% completion rate, 9.3 yards per attempt, 276 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdowns
2. Arvell Reese, Ohio State
LB/EDGE | 6’4″ | 241 lbs | 3rd Year
Arvell Reese Scouting Report
Arvell Reese has emerged as the premier defensive prospect in the 2026 class and a tone-setting playmaker for Ohio State. After rotating early in his career, he took a significant leap last season and became the centerpiece of the Buckeyes front seven.
Reese’s biggest strength is his versatility. He can rush off the edge, stack and shed inside, or drop into coverage without looking out of place. His first-step explosiveness and closing speed routinely stress tackles and create disruption even when he does not finish with a sack.
He plays with outstanding effort and physicality, showing the ability to chase plays sideline to sideline. Reese has also proven reliable in high-leverage moments against top competition. The main knock is that his pass rush plan can be inconsistent, relying on athleticism over counters at times. That refinement should come quickly.
Arvell Reese 2025 Stats
14 games: 69 tackles, 10.0 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 2 passes defended
3. Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame
RB | 6’0″ | 212 lbs | 3rd Year
Jeremiyah Love Scouting Report
Jeremiyah Love has emerged as the clear top running back in the 2026 class after a breakout season at Notre Dame that put him firmly on the national radar. Love is an explosive, well rounded back with elite acceleration, excellent vision, and the ability to create chunk plays without needing perfect blocking.
He runs with urgency and balance, showing the patience to let lanes develop and the burst to punish defenses once they do. Love has home run speed and consistently threatens the second level, while also flashing value as a receiver on screens and checkdowns. He took a significant step forward in workload and efficiency compared to prior seasons, cementing himself as the focal point of the Irish offense.
There aren’t any massive red flags with Love. He’ll need to continue to improve as a blocker in the NFL, although he holds his own at the moment. Scouts are also a bit worried about how many big hits he’s taken due to his style of running, but at some point that’s inevitable. League wide consensus agrees that Love is a complete back who will be an impact player from Day 1.
Jeremiyah Love 2025 Stats
12 games: 1372 rushing yards, 18 rushing touchdowns, 6.9 yards per carry, 27 receptions, 280 receiving yards, 3 receiving touchdowns
4. Sonny Styles, Ohio State
LB | 6’5″ | 244 lbs | 4th Year
Sonny Styles Scouting Report
Sonny Styles is an elite all around athlete who started his career as a supersized Safety before transitioning to linebacker and becoming an All-American for Ohio State.
Styles brings a rare blend of size, range, and athleticism that fits exactly what the modern NFL is looking for on the second level. He is comfortable playing in space, carrying tight ends and backs in coverage, and shows the instincts to trigger downhill quickly against the run. His background in the secondary shows up in his awareness, ball skills, and ability to process route concepts. Styles can play with some physicality when he needs to, but his real value is in his versatility and chess piece usage.
If he had entered the 2025 draft, he would’ve been knocked for his tackling form. That was significantly better this past season, and showcases he is still trending quickly upwards in his skillset. He can still be a little overaggressive on play fakes and is only average at getting off blocks, but Styles has a ton to work with and limited downsides.
Sonny Styles 2025 Stats
14 games: 82 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 4 passes defended, 1 interception, 1 fumble forced
5. Rueben Bain, Miami (FL)
EDGE | 6’2″ | 263 lbs | 3rd Year
Rueben Bain Scouting Report
Rueben Bain entered his true junior season at Miami looking to recapture the dominance he displayed as a freshman. In 2023, Bain burst onto the scene with 44 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles, earning him ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He was the only freshman in the conference to record more than seven sacks that season.
His sophomore campaign in 2024 was less impactful, partly due to nagging injuries which caused him to miss 4 games. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 265 pounds, Bain possesses elite strength for an edge rusher. He combines that with good quickness, hand usage, and solid pass rush moves for his age.
Bain’s 2025 season was started a bit up-and-down, but steadily improved as the year went on. Teams will also knock his thick frame that’s more like an interior lineman, and will be especially critical of his short arms. Despite that, his exceptionally powerful hands and explosive first step should make him a favorite among defensive coaches in the NFL.
Rueben Bain 2025 Stats
16 games: 54 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 2 passes defended, 1 interception, 1 fumble forced
6. Caleb Downs, Ohio State
S | 6’0″ | 206 lbs | 3rd Year
Caleb Downs Scouting Report
Caleb Downs has done everything you’d want to see from a future first-round pick, and then some. The former five-star safety made an immediate impact at Alabama in 2023, earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors and All-American recognition from multiple outlets. The true freshman led the Crimson Tide with 107 tackles and added two interceptions, showing elite instincts and physicality. After shockingly entering the transfer portal, Caleb Downs joined Ohio State and immediately led one of the nation’s best defenses to a National Championship, earning unanimous All-American honors.
Downs has truly elite instincts, combined with great athletic traits and physicality. He rarely misses tackles, identifies plays quickly, and has an immediate trigger to blow up plays before they get going. He’s a proven playmaker with sideline-to-sideline range and a deep understanding of the game.
Downs has already shown he’s NFL-ready and should be in the early first-round conversation in 2026. Reports indicated a potential medical red flag discovered at the combine, and if true, could lead to a bit of a fall on draft day.
Caleb Downs 2025 Stats
14 games: 68 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 4 passes defended, 2 interceptions, 2 fumbles forced
7. David Bailey, Texas Tech
EDGE | 6’4″ | 251 lbs | 4th Year
David Bailey Scouting Report
At this time last year, I was one of the only people saying David Bailey was worthy of a 1st round pick. After transferring from Stanford to Texas Tech this past season, he showed everyone what I was seeing.
Bailey was one of the most productive edge rushers in the nation, leading the Big 12 in both tackles for loss and sacks. Bailey brings good length, twitch, power, and a bit of flexibility off the edge, allowing him to threaten tackles with speed and finesse around the corner. He plays with an aggressive motor and does a good job staying active throughout the rep, often working back inside when his first move is stalled. He is also adept at forcing fumbles, striking at the football with great timing and power.
There are still refinements needed with hand usage, and he isn’t as bendy as you’d expect from a potential top-5 pick. Still, the athletic profile and production make him a legitimate difference maker.
David Bailey 2025 Stats
14 games: 52 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, 3 passes defended, 3 fumbles forced
8. Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State
WR | 6’2″ | 203 lbs | 4th Year
Jordyn Tyson Scouting Report
Jordyn Tyson has separated himself as arguably the top WR in the 2026 class with a complete, translatable skill set and true WR1 traits. After a strong prior season, he took another step forward and became the focal point of his offense in 2025.
Tyson’s biggest strength is his fluidity as a route runner. He glides through breaks with rare ease and shows elite body control to manipulate leverage, very similar to what Justin Jefferson looked like leaving LSU. He consistently creates separation with pacing and nuance rather than pure speed, though his long speed is more than sufficient. Tyson tracks the ball naturally and finishes through contact, especially on intermediate and deep in-breaking routes. He also offers positional versatility, lining up inside and outside without a drop-off in effectiveness.
Some are worried about functional strength against physical press corners, but the analytics show it hasn’t actually been an effective way to stop him in college. The only real issue for Tyson is his medicals, having dealt with multiple injuries and potentially a lingering hamstring problem.
Jordyn Tyson 2025 Stats
9 games, 61 receptions, 711 receiving yards, 8 receiving touchdowns, 11.7 yards per catch, 24.4% receiving share, 4 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown
9. Mansoor Delane, LSU
CB | 6’0″ | 187 lbs | 4th Year
Mansoor Delane Scouting Report
Mansoor Delane has firmly established himself as the top cornerback in the 2026 class after a breakout season at LSU. After transferring from Virginia Tech, Delane has taken a massive step forward this year, showing the confidence and consistency teams want from a true CB1.
His biggest strength is his coverage versatility. He is comfortable in press or off-man, and he has the fluid hips and foot quickness to mirror elite receivers down the field. Delane plays with outstanding balance and patience, rarely panicking at the top of routes. His ball skills have improved significantly, and he does a great job playing through the hands at the catch point.
Delane is also a willing tackler with good awareness in run support. There isn’t a massive concern that consistently shows up on tape, but he has struggled at times against bigger receivers, where he can be boxed out and doesn’t have the length to comensate. His athletic profile and year-over-year growth make him a cornerstone defensive prospect.
Mansoor Delane 2025 Stats
11 games: 45 tackles, 13 passes defended, 2 interceptions, 40.0% receptions allowed
10. Carnell Tate, Ohio State
WR | 6’2″ | 192 lbs | 3rd Year
Carnell Tate Scouting Report
Carnell Tate quickly became one of the most universally praised wide receiver prospects in the 2026 class, and he really opened my eyes as the season progressed. Tate’s biggest strength is his combination of size, athleticism, and ball skills. He tracks the ball exceptionally well, makes contested catches look easy, and can generate yards after the catch with suddenness and vision.
Tate is smooth in and out of breaks and can line up outside or in the slot without a drop-off. Tate also shows natural toughness, shrugging off contact and finishing plays in the open field. While he doesn’t have elite route-running polish yet, his overall athletic toolkit allows him to create separation at multiple levels.
The biggest knock on Tate is largely that he’s never been the WR1 on his own team, leading to some difficult projections if that’s his role at the next level. Some were critical of his mediocre 40 time, but he has plenty of juice in his routes thanks to his acceleration and fluidity.
Carnell Tate 2025 Stats
11 games: 51 receptions, 875 receiving yards, 9 receiving touchdowns, 17.2 yards per catch, 23.3% receiving share, 16 rushing yards

MORE NFL DRAFT RANKINGS
Traits That Make a Prospect Great
Depending on a prospect’s position, we evaluate a wide variety of skills and traits to project their value and future success at the next level.
Physical Traits
Physical attributes such as height, weight, arm length, and frame are among the most important traits to consider when developing NFL Draft Rankings.
Athletic Traits
Speed, quickness, strength, and burst are just a few of the athletic measurables you need to consider when rankings prospects.
Positional Skills
Each position has a unique set of skills that will help players succeed. These are coachable, but a draft prospect who is further along in his skill development is a massive advantage.
Productivity
Having size, athleticism, and flashing some skills is great, but it won’t matter if it never turns into on-field productivity. Prospects who dominated the game at the college level are more likely to succeed in the NFL.
Overall Opinion of the 2026 NFL Draft Class
This is a pretty weak draft class overall, especially on the first two days. It’s started to look a bit better as the offseason has progressed, but offense in particularly still looks bad. Outside of 1 quarterback, a trio of receivers, and a few defenders, there isn’t much that teams are going to fight over.
There are far fewer than 32 players in this class with a 1st round grade, and I only have 6 players with a grade worthy of a top 10 pick.
The true value of a draft class lies in its depth, however, and the depth of the class is fine. Expect to see a fair number of teams looking to trade back but struggling to find trade partners.
