2026 NFL Mock Draft 26-32: A talented playmaker falls right in the lap of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No. 26: Seattle Seahawks – Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
Seattle adds a cornerback with the selection of Avieon Terrell. Although on the smaller side standing at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, Terrell is a physical corner who sets the tone in both man coverage and his ability to play in the box against the run. Terrell is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell who has already made his mark on the league.
No. 27: Tampa Bay Buccaneers– Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Baker Mayfield gets another weapon in tight end Kenyon Sadiq. As the top tight end in the draft, Sadiq adds playmaking and strong after the catch skills to a Buccaneers’ offense that has struck it rich in the past couple drafts with the additions of running back Bucky Irving and wide receivers Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson and Jalen McMillan. Sadiq will help solidify that young core.
No. 28: Denver Broncos – Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee
The Broncos just miss out on Kenyon Sadiq but add another special offensive weapon in Tennessee’s Chris Brazzell II. The big wide receiver is a deep threat who is amid a breakout season for the Volunteers. So far, Brazzell has 43 receptions for 740 yards with 8 touchdowns. He does need to work on his route-running, but his yards after the catch ability and red zone advantage will give Bo Nix another dangerous option down the field.
No. 29: New England Patriots – Cashius Howell, ED, Texas A&M
Mike Vrabel and the Patriots add another pass rusher to the mix with the selection of Cashius Howell with the No. 29 overall pick. The Texas A&M star has 9.5 sacks on the season for the Aggies and is known for his strong motor and explosiveness. Depending on how the rest of the season goes, the Patriots could potentially wait till the second round to land Howell, but given their current draft position, he projects as the best edge rusher available at this spot.
No. 30: Philadelphia Eagles – KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
Whatever happens with AJ Brown, the Eagles will be looking at the wide receiver position ahead of the draft. With the No. 28 selection, the Eagles select KC Concepcion who has been a touchdown maker at Texas A&M. With his craftiness as a route runner, and ability to return kicks, Concepcion is increasing his draft stock by the game. A solid pick for the Eagles late in the first round.
No. 31: Dallas Cowboys via Green Bay – Christen Miller, DL, Georgia
The Cowboys use their second first round pick on defensive lineman Christen Miller. At 6-foot4, 310 pounds, the Georgia defensive star is great against the run and has the versatility to different roles along the defensive line. Primarily a nose tackle, the big man has the lateral quickness to be used as a 3-4 defensive end.
No. 32: Indianapolis Colts – Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee
Colton Hood is the prize for the Indianapolis Colts who currently has the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-0, 195-pound corner is a physical defender with the versatility and athleticism to fit into multiple defensive schemes. He does have to work on his tackling, but overall, a sold addition for the Colts at the end of the first round.
