2026 NFL Draft: 9 buyer-beware prospects
PFF • • sports
Key Points:
- EDGE Keldric Faulk shows strong run defense but has pass-rush limitations, with an 11.5% pass-rush win rate comparable to 2025 first-rounders with similar concerns, potentially risking a fall out of the first round.
- OL Monroe Freeling is highly athletic and projected as a top pick but has limited true pass-blocking experience due to Georgia’s offense style, raising questions about his readiness and consistency.
- QB Drew Allar possesses elite arm strength and physical traits but struggles with accuracy, big-time throws, and performance in high-pressure games, indicating a need for significant development.
- RB Seth McGowan has solid production but lacks explosiveness and tackle-breaking ability, which could cause him to drop to later rounds despite his SEC experience.
- WR Zachariah Branch and TE Oscar Delp offer athletic upside but have limited downfield impact and production, suggesting potential roles as specialists or fringe early-round picks.
