THE TOP 5

• Fernando Mendoza - QB - Indiana: Not only clearly the best QB in this class, but I believe a future superstar in the NFL. Toughness, efficiency, movement skills, ball placement, clutch plays, the man showed it all off in 2025, and I absolutely believe that will only grow at the next level.

• Jeremiyah Love - RB - Notre Dame: The star of an otherwise tepid RB class, but make no mistake, he's not there by default. Love is an elite RB prospect, with tremendous speed, elusiveness, vision, patience and ball security. A great story, and an even better player.

• Caleb Downs - S - Ohio State: Quite possibly the smarter player in this whole draft. Downs is a punishing downhill tackler along with a tremendous processor, making him one of the most sought-after safety prospects I can remember in some time. My top defensive player.

• Rueben Bain Jr - EDGE - Miami: Short arms be damned, Bain is a NIGHTMARE to play against. An absolute pitbull mentality with a tonne of pass rush tools and brute force in his hands, Bain will be a superb menace in the NFL.

• Arvell Reese - LB - Ohio State: Reese is an elite level athlete whose only real issue is finding himself a true home between ILB and EDGE, but either way, one team is getting a hard hitting, versatile freak to mould into an All-Pro level star.

MY GUYS

• KC Concepcion - WR - Texas A&M: A highly versatile speed demon that creates separation at an elite rate, has overcome personal challenges and gives 110% every single time. My absolute number 1 rooting to be a Steeler player.

• Emmanuel Pregnon - IOL - Oregon: A violent, powerful brick wall of a human being, who creates lanes in the run game with the greatest of ease and holds up really well in pass protection. A real plug and play Day 1 starter for any NFL team.

• Jacob Rodriguez - ILB - Texas Tech: For my money, the most complete and NFL-ready player in this entire draft. A turnover machine with an absurd background of positional versatility on both sides of the ball, smart, relentless and a true leader.

• Chris McClellan - DL - Missouri: To me, the most under-rated player in this draft. A brilliant mover for 326lb, he is a total disruptor on the defensive line, with exceptional pass rush acumen and a motor that seemingly is never turned off.

• Oscar Delp - TE - Georgia: It remains a mystery to me why Georgia didn't target this man more, because with the ball in his hands, he is a weapon. Explosive, fast, fluid, and all of that with a fracture in his foot to boot. Could be the absolute steal of the draft for a team.

• Max Bredeson - FB - Michigan: My absolute favourite Day 3 guy. I believe he's the best non-OL blocker in this whole draft, with strong, violent hands and exceptional spacial awareness. Want a thriving run game? Run it behind Bredeson. Old school and awesome.
