17. Dallas Cowboys: Trey'Dez Green, TE, LSU
The Dallas Cowboys will be a fascinating team to watch in next year's draft, but with all of the talk of Jerry Jones wanting to take Jordyn Tyson this past year, we might be on playmaker watch for Dallas.
Jake Ferguson has been a really solid weapon for Dallas, but they could look for a more dynamic option in a class that has a couple of really good ones. Trey'Dez Green might be the best. He had 11 touchdowns on his first 44 catches at LSU, and is an absolute unicorn at 6-foot-7 with fantastic ball skills.
18. Cincinnati Bengals: Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas
Nobody is going to be happier in a draft class like this one than teams like the Cincinnati Bengals. The offensive tackle position has been something they've tried to figure out for years at this point, and it's fair to wonder how much longer they'll let Orlando Brown Jr. be part of the solution.
Having an offensive tackle like this in a class with so many other top prospects is a blessing for a team like the Bengals, because a top-tier tackle prospect like Trevor Goosby might fall right into their laps. He would have been a 1st-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft if he had declared, but another strong year for the Longhorns will have this projection looking hilarious in the future, because he'll go way higher.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A'Mauri Washington, DL, Oregon
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers slapped a bandage on the Vita Vea situation, but this could be his last year with the team.
If that ends up being the case, the Bucs would obviously have to find his replacement. Someone like A'Mauri Washington could be coming around at exactly the right time.
Washington might not be as dominant of a prospect as Vea once was, but he has that same type of raw power and ability to anchor on the interior defensive line.
20. Chicago Bears: Yhonzae Pierre, EDGE, Alabama
As strong as this draft class is, one position group that definitely needs players to step up throughout the course of the 2026 season is the edge rusher position.
Alabama's Yhonzae Pierre appears to be up to the task.
In the first game of the season, he had a sack and a pick-six for the Crimson Tide, putting himself firmly on the 1st-round map after racking up 46 total pressures last season.
The Chicago Bears desperately needed help at EDGE this past offseason, but they weren't able to add any impact players there. They make up for it with this pick.
