No. 11: Washington Commanders, via Miami – Makai Lemon, WR, USC
The Commanders can trade back here and land one of the top wide receiver prospects in USC’s Makai Lemon. As a top need, Washington gets their No. 2 receiver to pair with Terry McLaurin. In Lemon, they get an elite route runner with a tenacity to make the big play. With Mclaurin approaching the end of his contract, it is most ideal to get a player who can take over as the top option once the veteran is no longer wearing the Commanders’ uniform.
No. 12: Dallas Cowboys – Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
The Cowboys has needs at key positions on defense. They address their need at corner with the selection of Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy. If not for a season-ending ACL injury that sidelined him most of the 2025 CFB season, McCoy would be a top 10, if not top 5 pick in this draft. Is he healthy and explosive enough to regain that status as he enters his NFL career? The Cowboys take a high-reward gamble here.
No. 13: Los Angeles Rams, via Atlanta– Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
The Rams pass up on selecting a tackle here and select wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. With Davante Adams turning 34 and in the final year of his contract, Sean McVay and the Rams see Tyson still on the board and takes a shot at adding a top-level receiver in Tyson who would look good paired with Puka Nacua as long as health doesn’t hold him back.
No. 14: Baltimore Ravens – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
With the top wide receivers off the board, the Ravens replaces Isaiah Likely at tight end with the selection of Kenyon Sadiq. A YAC nightmare due to his size and athleticism, Sadiq catching the ball down the seam from Lamar Jackson is going to be something Ravens fans will love. A tight end with the skillset of a big wide receiver, the Ravens’ offense will regain their explosiveness especially with a health Jackson under center.
No. 15: Tampa Bay Buccaneers – CJ Allen, LB, Georgia
Unless the Buccaneers go off-script here, the selection of CJ Allen at No. 15 seems set in stone given the retirement of Lavonte David. Tampa could go edge if they fell the player is the most talented still on the board, but in Allen they get a player who brings leadership and a high impact level of play as an off-ball linebacker.
