21. Dallas Cowboys (from Packers): Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama
What is going to happen for the Dallas Cowboys next offseason at the wide receiver position?
George Pickens is playing this year on the franchise tag for the Cowboys, which doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be gone after this season, but CeeDee Lamb is also going to be another year older. The Cowboys might have flirted with the idea of a receiver in the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft if the right player had fallen into their laps, so it already seems like this is an idea in Jerry Jones's mind.
Ryan Coleman-Williams was once thought to be a future top-5 pick at the position, but his stock has taken a dip in recent years. A bounce-back season in 2026 will put him back on the early 1st-round map.
He definitely doesn't have the same type of size as someone like George Pickens, but he's explosive and does a phenomenal job of tracking the ball as well as making plays in space.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State
At 6-foot-4, Kelley Jones has some of the rarest size you will see at the cornerback position.
He made a huge jump last season at Mississippi State with 34 total tackles, a pair of interceptions, and a really solid 11 passes defensed over the course of the season. The type of size and length he has at the position can make him a problem at the catch point for any body type at the receiver position.
The Bengals have multiple key players at the cornerback position -- DJ Turner and Dax Hill -- slated to hit free agency in 2027, so this position should be on the early NFL Draft radar.
23. Baltimore Ravens: Kade Pieper, OL, Iowa
Even after picking up Vega Ioane in the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft out of Penn State, the job is not done for the Baltimore Ravens on the interior offensive line.
They've got a little bit of a patchwork group coming together this season with Ethan Pocic at the center position and John Simpson at guard, so they will have the offensive line on a short list going into next year's draft as well.
And we know they have had some success with Iowa Hawkeyes in the past. Kirk Ferentz does a great job of coaching these guys up, and Kade Pieper is some of his best work lately. He can plug in as an immediate starter at either center or guard.
24. Detroit Lions: Ashton Hampton, CB, Clemson
Even if the Terrion Arnold situation hadn't come up this offseason, the Detroit Lions would have needed more help at the cornerback position. Their current projected starters are Rock Ya-Sin, Roger McCreary in the slot, and DJ Reed.
With all due respect, general manager Brad Holmes has to do a lot better than that for a team that has aspirations of contending for a championship.
Ashton Hampton is beloved by some in the NFL Draft community, and he has a chance to skyrocket up boards this year with his combination of size (6-foot-2, 200 pounds) and playmaking ability (3 INTs in his first two seasons, 14 PBU).
