2026 NFL Mock Draft 21-25: Rams get a steal at QB
No. 21: Los Angeles Rams – Arch Manning, QB, Texas
Will he stay at Texas, or will he declare? Arch Manning’s decision to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft will appear to be a mistake as he falls in the draft, however, it will be a big win when that team that selects him is Sean McVay and the Rams. Talk about a perfect landing spot, Manning could enter a situation where the team is already set around him and play under a coach in McVay who will put him in position to succeed right away.
No. 22: Dallas Cowboys via Green Bay – Caleb Banks, DL, Florida
With their second first-round pick, via the Micah Parsons trade, the Cowboys add a force in the middle of the defensive line with the selection of Florida’s Caleb Banks. Along with Parker, Cowboys fans will have an exciting duo of defenders to help numb the pain of watching Parsons in another uniform.
No. 23: Cleveland Browns via Jacksonville – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
The Browns follow up a great 2025 NFL Draft class with another. After taking LaNorris Sellers with the No. 5 overall pick, the Browns add another receiver to the mix in Ohio State’s Carnell Tate. A tall outside X-receiver, the Browns will look complete offensively, especially if Sellers proves to be the QB of the future. Thank you, Jacksonville!
This time, Julian Sayin goes deep to Carnell Tate for the @OhioStateFB TD.

No. 24: Seattle Seahawks – Romello Height, ED, Texas Tech
Whether its offensive line or defensive line, the Seattle Seahawks will be out to strengthen themselves in the trenches in the 2026 NFL Draft. In this Week 5 version of the NFL Mock Draft, they find themselves an edge rusher in Romello Height. The size, the talent and the name will be popular among the 12th man fans. Height saw his draft stock rise after a dominate Week 4 performance against Utah’s Spencer Fano. He not only proved his “height” but certified himself as a player NFL teams will be keeping an eye on.
No. 25: Tampa Bay Buccaneers– Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas
The Buccaneers select the first linebacker off the board in Anthony Hill Jr. He isn’t currently ranked as the top linebacker, but his talent and impactful play leading the Longhorns’ defense will make him a player teams will be clamoring to select. The Buccaneers land him at No. 25 as their next great linebacker.
