Mike Renner· Aug 13, 2026
Renner ranks the top 10 offensive tackle prospects in the upcoming draft class and assigns each an early draft grade, headlined by Texas's Trevor Goosby as a top-10 pick, with Jordan Seaton a first-rounder who should go higher than Olu Fashanu's 11th-overall slot and Cayden Green likely the first guard drafted.
“With a good season, he'll likely be drafted higher than Fashanu's 11th-overall selection.”

- Ryan WilsonMock Draft Picks · J.J. McCarthyMiss · 37Recalling his pre-draft evaluation, Wilson notes he had ranked J.J. McCarthy as the fifth quarterback in the 2024 class and given him a second-round grade rather than a first-round one, citing the gap between Michigan's system and NFL demands.
- Lance ZierleinMock Draft Picks · Jeremiyah LoveHit · 100Zierlein laid out his final mock draft: Jeremiah Love at No. 3 to Arizona, Sonny Styles at No. 4 to Robert Saleh's team, and Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5.

He also expects Riley Leonard to open as the Colts' starting QB and Travis Hunter to play cornerback full time in Jacksonville.
