No. 11: Miami Dolphins – Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

In a what have you shown me lately NFL draft process, the Dolphins hop on the Jermod McCoy hype train by selecting him over top ranked cornerback prospect Mansoor Delane.  Although he missed most of the 2025 college football season, McCoy was elite in 2024.  With the speed and movement that he showcased during his Pro Day performance, teams see that he is back to full health.  Dolphins need a top corner, why not McCoy?


No. 12: Washington Commanders, via New York Jets – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The Commanders trading back won’t sit well with fans, but they still are able to draft a position of need with the selection of Mansoor Delane with the No. 12 overall pick.  With the release of Marshon Lattimore and Jonathan Jones going elsewhere in free agency, the Commanders are thin at the position and in need of a high-impact corner like Delane.  Now they have an additional pick to work with in this draft to address other needs.


No. 13: Los Angeles Rams, via Atlanta– Spencer Fano, T, Utah

There is chatter about the Rams interest in Makai Lemon.  With him still on the board, there will be some intrigue with this pick, but when all said and done, the Rams decide to draft their left tackle of the future in Spencer Fano.


No. 14: Baltimore Ravens – Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State

The Ravens need to address the interior of their offensive line, and they do it in a big way with the selection of Olaivavega Ioane with the No. 14 overall pick.  In adding Ioane to the mix, the Ravens add stabilized interior protection for Lamar Jackson and get a player who is a force with his run blocking.


No. 15: Kansas City Chiefs via Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

The Chiefs can trade back right into the sweet spot for Kenyon Sadiq.  Yes, Travis Kelce will be back, but adding another big target for Patrick Mahomes could help the Chiefs’ offense transform into an offense tougher to defend.  With Kenneth Walker III in the backfield, speed on the outside at receiver and the tandem of Kelce and Sadiq?  Pick your poison in the defending the Chiefs in 2026.
