No. 11: Miami Dolphins - Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
Back-to-back cover corners off the board in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft as the Miami Dolphins go with one of two highly-touted Tennessee cornerbacks in this class. Jermod McCoy, despite missing the entire 2025 season due to injury, is a legit top-five talent in the 2026 NFL Draft class and could prove to be so at the next level, when healthy.
No. 12: Cleveland Browns (from DAL) - Makai Lemon, WR, USC
After trading down from the sixth overall pick in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft, the Cleveland Browns still manage to add a top weapon to add to their abysmal offense. The Browns will need, pretty much, an entire new offensive line heading into 2026, but they also need a true number one wide receiver if the offense is going to take a step forward under new head coach Todd Monken. Makai Lemon, despite being slightly undersized, is the exact type of player that should succeed in Monken's offense. His ability to separate and then to make plays down the field with the ball in his hands is second-to-none in this class and could very well be the most productive receiver from this draft at the next level, just as he was in college football in 2025.
No. 13: Los Angeles Rams - Francis Mauigoa, OL, Miami
I highly doubt that Francis Maugioa will fall out of the top 10 in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, in this scenario, he falls right into the lap of the Los Angeles Rams, who could use a right tackle after the retirement of Rob Havenstein.
No. 14: Baltimore Ravens - Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
While Cashius Howell may not have the traits and physical upside of some other edge prospects in the class, Howell was as productive as anyone throughout his college career. The Baltimore Ravens have taken swings at some of the more "toolsy" edge prospects in the past without much return on the investment. An experienced and productive player like Howell could be just what the Ravens defense needs under new head coach Jesse Minter.
No. 15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
Here we go with the exact opposite edge prospect with Keldric Faulk, who has the ideal size, athleticism, and age that teams look for, but severely lacks the collegiate production to solidify himself towards the top of this 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
