Simpson doesn't have the game-breaking physical tools of LaNorris Sellers or the preternatural ability to stretch the field like Fernando Mendoza. He isn't Garrett Nussmeier, the class's top pre-snap passer, and he might have less upside than preseason Heisman favorite Arch Manning.

See which top QB prospects join Fernando Mendoza in the first round, and which ones fall out of the top 32, in this updated projection for the 2026 NFL Draft.

DT Dontay Corleone (64th), QB Brendan Sorsby (102nd), LB Jake Golday (108th), and TE Joe Royer (118th) all made the cut. Corleone has fallen off a bit this season compared to years past, but it hasn't hurt his draft stock in the eyes of PFF (67.9 PFF grade this season after 73.3 in 2024 and 83.3 in 2023).

The ongoing college football season looks vastly different than it did when it began, with multiple program either disappointing or impressing. The same can be said for the 2026 NFL draft class and its previous top prospects.

It's too early to do a 2025 NFL Draft redraft, right? We're not even halfway through the season, but with how things currently stand, things would get shaken up for Ashton Jeanty, Jaxson Dart, and many more.

The Cincinnati Bengals could be in the market for adding a defensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft. Ole Miss has a BIG one in the form of Zxavian Harris. Harris is 6’7” and 330 pounds. He has surprising athleticism for a player with his size. He is also one of the strongest players in college football.

The Giants stormed out to a sizable lead on the road against Denver, then surrendered the lead in the fourth quarter. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led the team back down the lead for a go-ahead touchdown, but Bo Nix countered with a go-ahead drive of his own to set up a game-winning field goal.

We're nearly halfway through the 2025 NFL regular season. As some fanbases start to turn more to the offseason, here's our latest 2026 NFL mock Draft.

Former Jets quarterback Joe Flacco is now starting in Cincinnati. Flacco led the Bengals to a 33-point performance in a primetime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Jets Wire has identified three potential X-factors for the Jets' defense versus the Bengals in Week 8.

What we can expect, though, is a much stronger wide receiver class than originally anticipated. There are some flat-out dudes on tape this year, and at least four have played their way into first-round contention.
