2026 NFL Mock Draft 11-15: Drake Maye gets his perfect playmaker
No. 11: Dallas Cowboys– T.J. Parker, ED, Clemson
At 6-foot-3, 260 pounds, Clemson’s T.J. Parker has the makings of the next defensive game- changer in Dallas. With his speed and physicality coming off the edge and defending the run, Cowboys fans may begin to forgive their team for trading away Michah Parsons. In Parker, they get an All-Pro caliber talent who will wear that star on his helmet proudly. Let’s just hope Cowboys’ ownership learned from the Parsons situation and keep him around beyond four years.
No. 12: New England Patriots – Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
Stefon Diggs is a prime example of how effective Drake Maye can be with a top wide receiver. The scary part about Diggs and his connection with Maye is that the veteran wide receiver is not as explosive as he once was. Enter Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson who is an explosive outside threat and a player who will have Patriots Nation gleaming with excitement over the possibilities. Folks, this isn’t a N’Keal Harry or Tyquan Thornton top pick, this is a player who is a sure bet and finally solves the WR1 problem in Foxborough.

No. 13: Denver Broncos – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
If the Broncos are selecting at No. 13, Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is the answer to their offensive dreams. Along with Bo Nix and Troy Mix, Sadiq will have the Broncos offense looking like the Oregon Ducks. With his athleticism, speed and mastery after the catch, this pass catching tight end might just be the perfect fit for Sean Payton’s’ offense. AFC West watch out. NFL watch out!
No. 14: Los Angeles Rams via Atlanta– Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
The Rams take a shot with the No. 14 overall pick to address their need at cornerback. They do so with the selection of Avieon Terrell who not only adds speed and instinctive playmaking to their secondary, but also a player who can be effective in the return game. In all, his physicality will intrigue the Rams despite his smaller frame (5-foot-11, 180 pounds). He is also a strong run stopper and dependable tackler who can play both man and zone.
No. 15: Chicago Bears– Jeremiyah Love, RB , Notre Dame
The Bears’ offense is starting to look effective under Ben Johnson and the maturation of Caleb Williams. They still need that one piece in the offense that could really make the Bears an offensive force in the NFC. That piece is Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love who has similar ability to that of Jahmyr Gibbs, a player Johnson is very familiar with. Love gets it down on the ground and can attack defenses with his pass-catching ability. Its early in both the NFL and college football season, but if there was ever a perfect match, it is this one.
