Jaime Eisner · Mock Draft Picks · Brenen Thompson · Close 74
A seven-round Falcons mock draft projecting Atlanta's five 2026 picks: CB Brandon Cisse at No. 48, IDL Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 79, WR Brenen Thompson at No. 112, EDGE Mason Reiger at No. 215, and LB Shad Banks Jr. at No. 231. It also expects Cisse to go inside the top 50 and Jackson to be an immediate early-down contributor.Chris Roling · Roster Spot Calls · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
After the Chargers' preseason opener, Roling projects Kayode Awosika as the Week 1 starting left guard with rookie Jake Slaughter backing them up and Branson Taylor as the backup swing tackle, expects Derius Davis to hold the return job, sees Brenen Thompson as a roster lock, and pegs Amar Johnson as the leader for the fourth running back spot behind Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal.Field Yates · Combine Measurements · Brenen Thompson · Close 67
Yates pegged David Bailey as a top-four pick, called Jeremiah Love clearly the best running back in the class with a draft range from No. 3 overall to the Chiefs at No. 9, put Karnell Tate atop their receiver board, projected Jordan Tyson as a top-15 pick, and expected Brennan Thompson to run in the 4.2s. They also see both Miami's Mauigoa and Utah's Spencer Fano taken inside the top 15, with Mauigoa having a chance to be the first offensive lineman off the board.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
As relayed by Eisen, Jeremiah said Mississippi State receiver Brenny Thompson could break Xavier Worthy's combine 40-yard dash record.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
Jeremiah previewed the combine with a series of draft projections: Ty Simpson ranked around 40th on their board with first-round upside, Garrett Nussmeier landing on Day 2 (more likely third round than second), Jeremiyah Love as a top-10 pick, Jeneian Price as a second-round pick, and Jermal McCoy potentially the first cornerback drafted.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
Jeremiah says Fernando Mendoza is the best player in the draft and a lock to be the first overall pick by the Raiders, grades them behind the 2024 trio of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, and outlines a mock draft with David Bailey to the Jets, Reese falling to seventh, Ruben Bain to the Titans, and Tate to the Giants at five. They also expect Ty Simpson to go outside the first round, names Brennan Thompson as the favorite for the fastest 40 at the combine, and expects Mendoza not to throw while Simpson does.

Mike Renner · Combine Superlatives · Trey'Dez Green · Waiting
Renner ranks the top 10 tight end prospects in the upcoming class, led by Oregon's Jamari Johnson, and attaches an early draft grade to each — Johnson early Day 2, Reynolds/Carter/Green Day 2, Rodriguez late Day 2, and Hasley, Odom, Luckie, Ohrstrom and Vonnahme early Day 3. They also predict Johnson will be the draft's TE1 and that Trey'Dez Green will record the longest wingspan ever measured at the NFL Scouting Combine.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brandon Thompson · Waiting
At the combine, Jeremiah laid out their read of the top of the draft: Mendoza first overall to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets at No. 2, Ruben Bain to the Titans at 4, Cornell Tate to the Giants, Jeremiah Love in the 7-9 range, and Ty Simpson as the second quarterback taken. They also expect receiver Brandon Thompson to challenge the 40-yard dash record.Mike Renner · Combine Superlatives · Blake Miller · Waiting
Renner expects Caleb Banks and Peter Woods to be the first two defensive tackles drafted, has Ruben Bane as the top non-quarterback on their board, Michael Trigg as their TE2, Ohio State's blocking tight end going on Day 3, D'Angelo Ponds as a top-50 player who will test extremely well (sub-4.4 speed), Jermaine McCoy as their CB1 and a top-half-of-round-one corner, and Caden Proctor and Spencer Fano as top-10 players in the class.Colleen Wolfe · Combine Superlatives · Will Johnson · Waiting
Wolf expects cornerback Will Johnson to post the fastest 40-yard dash at the combine, and says receiver Ariane Smith could boost their stock with a good 40 time.
