In watching Ty Simpson unexpectedly fall off the board just a slot before them, the Pittsburgh Steelers turn their attention to the wide receiver position with the selection of Denzel Boston.  Another big, outside receiver, Boston will form a physical duo on the outside with D.K. Metcalf.  Now, who will get them the ball?


No. 22: Los Angeles Chargers – Caleb Banks, DL, Florida

The Chargers are looking to fortify the trenches on both sides of the ball.  They address the defensive side with the selection of Caleb Banks.  This big body wrecker in the middle of the line will be a force against the run and a player with the power and quickness to add pass rush up the middle.


No. 23: Philadelphia Eagles – Keldric Faulk, ED, Auburn

Keldric Faulk to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2026 NFL Draft?

Auburn’s Keldric Faulk falls right into the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 23.  Talk about value, the outstanding defensive end brings prototypical size at defensive end and will benefit from playing on the same line as Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. 


No. 24: Cleveland Browns via Jacksonville – Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State

With the Browns entire starting offensive line is hitting free agency, they go with the best interior offensive lineman here with the selection of Olaivavega Ioane.  The big, powerful interior lineman provides the Browns with a young talent they can rebuild the line around.


No. 25: Chicago Bears – Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio State

Ohio State’s Kayden McDonald is a natural fit for the Chicago Bears here.  They need an inside defensive presence and McDonald is exactly that.  A run stuffing machine, the Ohio State product will be an instant upgrade in the middle.
