Here’s the third and final round of our 2026 Three-Round Mock Draft. 

Round Three

65 — Arizona Cardinals: Northwestern OT Caleb Tiernan

It might be nothing, but it’s notable that of the reported visits for the Cardinals with offensive linemen, none have been with the projected top prospects that were mocked to them frequently earlier this year. Instead, Arizona’s met more with guys like Tiernan who are projected to go in the middle rounds. 

66 — Tennessee Titans: Clemson WR Antonio Williams

Back to the well for Ward. Daboll prioritizes separation skills in receivers, even if it comes in a small package. Williams is a classic slot receiver in the same mold as WR Wan’Dale Robinson. 

67 — Las Vegas Raiders: Texas CB Malik Muhammad

The Raiders re-signed CB Eric Stokes and traded for CB Taron Johnson. Ideally last year’s third-rounder Darien Porter would lock up the third and final starting spot but the Raiders need to keep building in the secondary with more competition. Muhammad has inside/outside versatility, giving him a better chance to steal a job from someone eventually. 

68 — Philadelphia Eagles (via NYJ): Georgia State WR Ted Hurst

There’s going to be a big transition for Hurst going from Georgia State to the NFL but he’s a gifted player. At nearly 6-4 with 4.4 speed, he can replace the big, physical downfield element the Eagles would lose if (when?) they trade A.J. Brown. 

69 — Houston Texans (via NYG): Iowa State DT Domonique Orange

Houston’s roster is a who’s who of former Iowa State stars. It seems like Texans GM Nick Caserio can’t help himself. The team needs to fortify its defensive tackle group and Orange is an intriguing run stuffer. 

70 — Cleveland Browns: Miami OT Markel Bell

The Browns go back for more at offensive line. Bell falls into the developmental bucket, but at 6-9 and 346 pounds, he’s got traits that can’t be taught. He worked his way up from junior college to become the starting left tackle for the national runner-up Hurricanes. 

71 — Washington Commanders: Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields

Washington sorely needs a viable alternative to prevent defenses from zeroing in on just WR Terry McLaurin in 2026. Fields would be a stab at finding that. He’s a possession type with sneaky agility who brings an element at 6-4 and over 220 pounds that the Commanders don’t have in the room right now. 

72 — Cincinnati Bengals: South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse

Cisse has all the athleticism an NFL team could want in a starting cornerback, he just needs to refine the mental side of his game. The Bengals have a pair of expiring cornerback contracts this year in D.J. Turner and Daxton Hill, and history says they’ll only keep one. 

73 — New Orleans Saints: Texas Tech DT Lee Hunter

Two-gapping defensive tackles who can eat up space are an important part of Saints DC Brandon Staley‘s system. Hunter is a run defense specialist who could be an upgrade in this area for the Saints. 

74 — Kansas City Chiefs: Michigan LB Jaishawn Barham

While Barham is kind of a tweener player, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo might see some similarities with LB Leo Chenal, who was at his best attacking forward as a blitzer and hammer as opposed to moving backward in coverage. 

75 — Miami Dolphins: North Dakota State WR Bryce Lance

A tall, fast receiver coming up from a lower level of competition, Sullivan might see shades of Christian Watson or Marquez Valdes-Scantling, two hits he helped scout for the Packers. 

76 — Pittsburgh Steelers (via DAL): Connecticut WR Skyler Bell

The Steelers need a viable third receiver for new HC Mike McCarthy‘s offense, and the jury’s not out on Roman Wilson; it’s back and concluding deliberations. Bell is also best suited as a slot receiver, which works with the twin towers of D.K Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. out wide.  

77 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ohio State CB Davison Igbinosun

Bucs HC Todd Bowles hasn’t sounded satisfied with the secondary this offseason. This gives them more competition. 

78 — Indianapolis Colts: Penn State DE Dani Dennis-Sutton

Colts GM Chris Ballard loves athletes and Dennis-Sutton had a terrific Combine performance in Ballard’s city of Indianapolis. At 6-5 and 256 pounds, he ran a 4.63 40, hit 39.5 in the vertical and 10-foot-11 in the broad jump, and added a sub-7-second three-cone drill. His Relative Athletic Score was 9.98 out of 10. The Colts have made a few moves at edge rusher, but this would be tough for Ballard to turn down.  

79 — Atlanta Falcons: Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling

The Falcons signed a couple of receivers in free agency in Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus, with Dotson getting a decent two-year pact. Receiver remains a need for Atlanta, though. Stribling brings a combination of size and explosiveness that the depth chart doesn’t have right now. The 6-2, 207-pounder ran his 40 in a blistering 4.36 seconds. 

80 — Baltimore Ravens: Iowa C Logan Jones

It might be too on the nose to have the Ravens going back to the well in Iowa for a starting center after losing Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders. Jones has drawn comparisons to Linderbaum, too, albeit as a Dollar General version. Still, this is the most glaring need for the Ravens on the roster at this point. 

81 — Jacksonville Jaguars (via DET): SE Louisiana DT Kaleb Proctor

An unknown since Southeastern Louisiana State is not usual appointment viewing, Proctor has generated some buzz because of his high-end athleticism. That gives him intriguing pass rush potential in a class of defensive tackles that’s mostly filled with run pluggers. The Jaguars aren’t afraid to make bold draft moves and need to fortify their interior. 

82 — Minnesota Vikings: Florida C Jake Slaughter

Following Ryan Kelly‘s retirement, the Vikings have a hole at center up front. Veteran Blake Brandel would man that position if the season started today, but Minnesota likes Brandel as a five-tool backup who can step in anywhere instead. Fortunately it’s a good class with a handful of players who could push to start out of the gate, including Slaughter. 

83 — Carolina Panthers: Kansas State C Sam Hecht

There will probably be a run on centers at some point late on Day 2 or early on Day 3 given the composition of the class. Carolina lost Cade Mays and signed Luke Fortner, but will almost certainly dip into this pool to add competition. Hecht fits the Panthers’ offense a little better than some other options. 

84 — Green Bay Packers: Georgia CB Daylen Everette

Everette checks a lot of the boxes Packers GM Brian Gutekunst looks for in prospects. Gutekunst has drafted a ton of players out of Georgia and Everette was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs who also tested exceptionally well, running a 4.38-second 40. He hits the marks for size and length that the Packers like in their cornerbacks, too.  

85 — Pittsburgh Steelers: Pitt LB Kyle Louis

Modern linebackers have gotten smaller and faster, but Louis is still pushing the envelope at just under 6-0 and 220 pounds. Not every defense is going to be a fit for Louis, who is fast and showed a ton of potential at the Senior Bowl as a coverage specalist against backs and tight ends but is undersized for other traditional linebacker duties. It will take a creative defensive coordinator to maximize Louis as a pro. Fortunately the Steelers have that with DC Patrick Graham, and they’ve had a front-row seat for Louis’ whole career. 

86 — Los Angeles Chargers: Kentucky G Jalen Farmer

The Chargers had to wait until the third round but they were able to address their glaring need at guard. Farmer’s got good size and the requisite athleticism to fit into HC Mike McDaniel‘s scheme. 

87 — Miami Dolphins (via PHI): Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt

More attention for the receiving corps. After adding a vertical threat in Lance, the Dolphins get a reliable possession type to hopefully grow alongside their quarterback. 

88 — Jacksonville Jaguars: Michigan DE Derrick Moore

The Jaguars have a great pair of edge rushers in Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, the latter of whom they just extended. Those two end up taking the bulk of the snaps in the rotation, though, because the depth chart behind them has been so thin. Adding to the room might help the Jaguars get more out of everyone with fewer snaps to be fresher for their opportunities. 

89 — Chicago Bears: LSU S A.J. Haulcy

The Bears lost a ton of snaps at safety this offseason. They signed veteran S Coby Bryant and their earlier mock selection of Scott has some safety flexibility. Haulcy gives them another option and a different type of player, as he’s big and physical like a linebacker. 

90 — Miami Dolphins (via HOU): Notre Dame TE Eli Raridon

Injuries made for a slow start to Raridon’s college career and he was a late bloomer. This past season, though, he seemed to improve with each passing week and brings some dual-role value to Miami as both a potential blocker and receiver. 

91 — Buffalo Bills: Iowa OL Gennings Dunker

A college tackle who likely has to move inside due to athletic limitations, Dunker fits as a guard in Buffalo’s physical, downhill scheme. He’d compete with veteran Alec Anderson for the starting role as a rookie and ideally would have the job sewn up by Year 2. 

92 — Dallas Cowboys (via SF): South Carolina DB Jalon Kilgore

The Cowboys could use help at both nickel corner and safety. Kilgore is versatile and capable of contributing at both. It’s a natural match. 

93 — Los Angeles Rams: Tennessee DE Joshua Josephs

Opinions range on Josephs but our draft writer, Ethan Woodie, is a huge fan and he does have some traits to work with. The Rams like to match premium picks with premium positions whenever possible and they’ve drafted well enough up front that they might not be able to keep everyone. Josephs fills out the rotation and provides some insurance against that. 

94 — Miami Dolphins (via DEN): TCU S Bud Clark

Like cornerback, safety is a virtual black hole on the roster right now. Expect the Dolphins to make investments to try and change that. 

95 — New England Patriots: Penn State S Zakee Wheatley

The starting two safety spots are locked up for the Patriots but ideally Wheatley would learn behind one of the game’s great centerfielding safeties in Kevin Byard for a season and be better for the experience for the rest of his career. 

96 — Seattle Seahawks: Notre Dame G Billy Schrauth

Seahawks GM John Schneider has talked about the lessons he learned from the first era of success he oversaw in Seattle when the team won one Super Bowl but didn’t break through again. Among those was a need to continue to foster competition across the roster and a regret for not doing more to shore up the offensive line. Schneider takes a stab at correcting both errors here by adding Schrauth to push Anthony Bradford and Christian Haynes at right guard. 

97 — Minnesota Vikings (comp): Oklahoma DT Gracen Halton

Jalen Redmond was one of the big breakouts of the 2025 season, and there are a lot of parallels to draw between him and Halton beyond just playing for the Sooners. Halton is also a quick, undersized but active defensive tackle who fires off the ball seeking to cause problems. Minnesota needs to restock its defensive tackle rotation after cutting a pair of veterans this offseason. 

98 — Philadelphia Eagles (comp): Florida CB Devin Moore

Moore has excellent size for the position at 6-3 and his testing probably undersells his athleticism a tick given he was banged up for his pro day. However, Moore has an extensive injury history which will likely push him down the board. Here the Eagles take a stab at finding a viable long-term No. 2 corner. 

99 — Pittsburgh Steelers (comp): LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier

The Steelers have a ton of draft picks and it would make sense to use one on a quarterback to give them more depth and flexibility for the future. Of the group vying to be the third off the board (in all likelihood), Nussmeier might be my favorite. He gives you a lot of the same things Simpson does, both good and bad. McCarthy coached for a long time with his father, current Saints QB coach Doug Nussmeier, so this is a natural fit. 

100 — Jacksonville Jaguars (comp, via DET): Memphis OT Travis Burke

Teams can never have enough offensive depth. Burke has fascinating tools at nearly 6-9 and 320 pounds. He’s been one of the more popular prospects in terms of pre-draft visits and it seems like that might actually translate to a spot in the middle rounds.
