21. Dallas Cowboys (from Packers): Cam Coleman, WR, Texas
When the Cowboys’ pick slot comes up in mock draft scenarios, you’re typically thinking, “Defense, defense, or even defense.” The Dallas defense has once again been bad this season, but at some point, they are going to have to invest in the offensive side of the ball again with premium NFL Draft real estate.
This would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Cam Coleman was routinely projected in the top 10 picks of mock draft all throughout the offseason but has been somewhat of a disappointment at Texas. Not enough to knock him too far down the board, but he could end up being a nice steal for a team like the Cowboys if he drops here.
22. Chicago Bears: Will Heldt, EDGE, Clemson
One of the areas we have been absolutely pounding the table for the Bears to upgrade over the past couple of offseasons is off the edge. They’ve gotten some really solid production so far this season out of players like Austin Booker and Dayo Odeyingbo, so perhaps the Bears will be satisfied with their edge rusher group when the season is over.
There is still a lot of season left to find out.
Regardless, Will Heldt has played his way into the top 20 conversation at Clemson so far this season by loading up on QB pressures and absolutely living in the offensive backfield.
23. New England Patriots: KJ Bolden, SAF, Georgia
The New England Patriots have a fantastic defense already, but you can never have too many playmakers in the secondary.
KJ Bolden is one of the most physical safety prospects in the country and can absolutely fill up the stat sheet. Georgia will use him all over the formation, whether he’s playing in the slot, rushing the passer, or playing deep.
The Patriots can find ways to use him similarly in Mike Vrabel’s defense, adding some more physicality and playmaking into the mix.
24. Denver Broncos: KJ Duff, WR, Rutgers
The Denver Broncos have invested a lot in the wide receiver position in recent years, but they might be in the market once again in the 2027 NFL Draft. They just recently pushed a bunch of future bonus money for Courtland Sutton to this year. Marvin Mims Jr. is a free agent after the season. Pat Bryant has struggled with injuries his first two seasons.
We know Sean Payton loves big-bodied receivers, and KJ Duff fits the bill. At 6-foot-6, 219 pounds, he could be an ideal type of long-term replacement for someone like Courtland Sutton, and give the Broncos a group they can build around with Jaylen Waddle and Bryant atop the depth chart beyond this season.
Duff has averaged over 120 yards per game this season and has 9 touchdowns in just 6 games. He’s been dominating.
