NFL teams are looking for players who can wreck the game from the inside-out, and few have been better at doing that this season than Tennessee's Xavier Gilliam.
He's been borderline unblockable this season, and while the Texans were able to get the run-stuffing Kayden McDonald early in the 2026 NFL Draft, I don't think they'd pass on a chance to get a playmaker on the interior like Gilliam here.
Imagining him on the interior with Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. coming off the edge is a scary thought for opposing quarterbacks.
The New Orleans Saints have taken a significant step back defensively this season after having one of the league's most underrated units in 2025.
That fact is one of the biggest reasons why this team has been a letdown for those of us who were expecting them to be a breakout team.
Getting some help at the cornerback position and more playmakers on the back end is something this team desperately needs. Ashton Hampton has the type of size and aggressive mindset to be a CB1 in the NFL right away.
The Washington Commanders have been on the hunt for receiver help, and they might finally need to just invest a 1st-round pick in the position.
Terry McLaurin went down with a season-ending injury, Stefon Diggs isn't a long-term fix, and Antonio Williams is more of a secondary option. Getting a vertical threat like Charlie Becker would open up so much for this Commanders offense.
Jayden Daniels needs more weapons, and as much as the defense also needs, this might be the best value at 9 overall.
The New York Jets round out the top 10 picks with their third selection already, and another playmaker for the defensive side of the ball.
Especially after watching the Jets' defensive implosion against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, it's clear that this team still needs help at all three levels. And Chris Cole can help them in a number of ways.
Not only does he move like a safety at the linebacker position, but he can rush the passer off the edge and give you value on all three downs.
