17. Cleveland Browns (from Rams): Devan Thompkins, DL/EDGE, Alabama
Devan Thompkins is really a sight to behold as you watch the Alabama defense this season. At 300 pounds, you see this guy playing a traditional defensive end/edge rusher position at times, although he’s capable of playing all over the defensive front.
After trading away Myles Garrett, I wouldn’t exactly say that the Browns are going to be in the market for a 1st-round edge player without question, but they might not scoff at a chance to further upgrade that defensive front.
The former USC transfer has taken some time to develop his game, but he’s been difficult to block from a number of spots on the defensive front this season at Alabama.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
The NFL is going to want to see how Dante Moore eventually comes back after the concussion he suffered in an ugly hit against USC, because he wasn’t off to the greatest start this season.
But something important to keep in mind: Moore was almost a consensus QB1 coming into this season. NFL teams don’t simply ditch those feelings about a player based on one season, especially when it’s affected by injury.
The stock of Moore may have fallen, but if teams thought he was the QB1 of a loaded class before the season, they’re still going to hold him in high regard. Hopefully, he’s able to come back and look like himself at some point this season.
19. Carolina Panthers: Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon
The Panthers have gotten some really nice production this season out of Darren Waller at the tight end position, but Waller is really just serving as proof of concept.
All of the people who had been clamoring for an upgrade at tight end before Waller got to Carolina were right.
This offense in Carolina already has so many weapons in the passing game, but they can’t pass on a chance to get the best tight end in the NFL Draft here. Jamari Johnson taking over as the long-term replacement for Waller in Carolina would be huge for quarterback Bryce Young.
20. Las Vegas Raiders: Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana
Even though the Raiders have had some players step up in the early stages of the 2026 season at the receiver position, this is a clear area of weakness on the roster.
The question for the Raiders in this pick slot is simply a matter of which receiver best fits the Klint Kubiak offense, and I can’t help but think anyone from the Shanahan/McVay coaching tree is going to absolutely love Nick Marsh.
Marsh is a big-bodied receiver at 6-foot-3, and he uses that to his advantage both in the passing game and as a blocker in the running game.
