No. 11: Miami Dolphins – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The Miami Dolphins address their secondary needs with the selection of LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.  A cornerback who can play all positions, Delane is a player who can solve the Dolphins need at corner because of that positional versatility.  Does he have the overall talent to be a shutdown corner at the NFL level?  The Dolphins think so and take a shot the emerging cornerback.

No. 12: Minnesota Vikings – Jeremiyah Love, HB, Notre Dame

The Vikings land the top running back in the draft with the selection of Jeremiyah Love.  The Notre Dame star may be one of the top playmakers in the draft overall.  Along with his ability to break big plays with his vision and speed, Love is also a threat in the passing game.  The Vikings take care of their need for a running back with this pick.

No. 13: Dallas Cowboys– Keldric Faulk, ED, Auburn

With the first of their two first round picks, the Cowboys select Auburn’s Keldric Faulk.  The 6-foot-6, 285-pound defensive end has extreme athleticism for his size and gives the Cowboys a player who can get after the quarterback and effective in stopping the run.  Not the explosive playmaker Micah Parsons is off the edge, but an NFL-ready defender who can set the edge and be an impactful player along the Cowboys’ defensive line.

No. 14: Baltimore Ravens– Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Add another explosive weapon to the arsenal of Lamar Jackson.  The Ravens select Ohio State’s Carnell Tate with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.  With his big playmaking ability down the field, Tate lands in a perfect situation given Jackson’s ability to extend plays.  Tate on the field alongside Zay Flowers will be constant excitement in motion for Ravens fans.

No. 15: Kansas City Chiefs– Jermond McCoy, CB, Tennessee

The Chiefs will look to extend cornerback Trent McDuffie this offseason.  To do that, they may have to let pending free agent Jaylen Watson walk.  That leaves a need at cornerback open for the Chiefs who select Tennessee’s Jermond McCoy with the No. 15 overall pick.  The Chiefs will also look to add a tight end and running back in this draft.  But, in McCoy they get a corner who can step in and be that No. 2 corner on Day 1.
