No. 6: Cleveland Browns – Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
Wide receiver is a common pick here in mock drafts for Cleveland, but there is a world where they take arguably the most versatile offensive lineman available. Fano can enter the Browns' offense and play wherever they need him to from Day 1, with the peak outcome being a long-time tackle.
No. 7: Washington Commanders – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
The Commanders are entering the 2026 season with new uniforms, so why not add a big-time playmaker to wear them? Looking further down the line, Terry McLaurin could find his way out of Washington in the near future, and drafting Tate now could position him nicely to be a viable succession plan.
No. 8: New Orleans Saints – Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami
With as much conversation that has been sparked from Bain Jr.'s arm length measurements, this is a Top-10 caliber prospect. The New Orleans defensive line needs some juice, especially when rushing the passer. The Miami product is a vicious, dominating defender when he gets going, possibly filling that hole instantly.
No. 9: Kansas City Chiefs – Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State
Man, what a steal this would be. Reese being available at 9th overall isn't a likely scenario, but with the way the board fell, the NFL's new Evil Empire gets its hands on a defensive monster. This is a cornerstone player who could fuel Kansas City's next Super Bowl run as much, if not more than, any prospect they could take in this year's draft.
No. 10: Cincinnati Bengals – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
The Bengals have had decent play on the outside, but have lacked a true shutdown cornerback for far too long. I gave them Delane here as a way to remedy that, a proven SEC boundary defender who proved his worth time and time again. If he looks anything like how he did at LSU in 2025, this will be a pick Cincinnati fans will look back on fondly.
