No.22: Pittsburgh Steelers - Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Unless they target a quarterback here, the Pittsburgh Steelers will desperately need to add to their wide receiver room. While I am not sure that Denzel Boston necessarily "complements" D.K, Metcalf well with similar size and skillset, Boston (like Metcalf) is a big-body, athletic wideout who can win at all levels of the field and is outstanding at the catch point.
No. 22: Los Angeles Chargers- Olaivavega Ione, OL, Penn State
This pick seems like it is written in pen in nearly every 2026 NFL Mock Draft. Despite having an outstanding tackle duo in Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, injuries exposed the Los Angeles Chargers' lack of depth on the offensive line. Olaivavega Ione will slot in immediately at left guard and could become an all-pro stalwart at the position.
No. 23: Philadelphia Eagles- Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Another popular pick, if Dallas Goedert moves on in free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles could target someone like Kenyon Sadiq. Even if they retain Goedery, Sadiq can fill more of a big-slot, third wide receiver role in the Eagles offense.
No. 24: Cleveland Browns - Spencer Fano, OL, Utah
Like Mauigoa, Spencer Fano could come off the board as early as third overall, so I doubt he falls this far in the 2026 NFL Draft. Though there are some concerns with Fano's power and filling out his frame to succeed against NFL defensive ends, the Browns are desperate for offensive line help and would love to add this level of talent at right tackle.
No. 25: Chicago Bears - Caleb Banks, DL, Florida
Caleb Banks to the Chicago Bears is yet another popular pick in any 2026 NFL Mock Draft. He has tremendous upside with his blend of size, power, and athleticism and fills a big need in the Bears defense.
