Top Draft Needs of Every NFL Team in 2026 for Week 16
With three weeks left in the NFL season, the No. 1 overall pick is up in the air and teams are well on their way to getting clarity on what their biggest needs will be in April.
Every week of the season, Bleacher Report writer Alex Ballentine and B/R NFL Scouting Dept.'s Matt Holder will break down each team's biggest needs and highlight potential 2026 draft prospects who could fill them.
The eventual end product will be a full 2026 draft big board for every team heading into the offseason.

Arizona Cardinals
1 of 32
Top Draft Needs
Top Edge Fits on B/R Big Board
Edge hasn't been discussed for the Cardinals yet because the organization has a good amount of money invested in the position between Josh Sweat and Baron Browning.
While Sweat has earned his keep, Browning has been a disappointment and Arizona could save about half of his 2026 salary by cutting him in the offseason, per Over The Cap. Also, a torn ACL/knee injury in 2024 seems to have stunted 2023 second-round pick BJ Ojulari's growth.
So, we get an opportunity to start at the top of B/R's big board and see what the No. 2 overall player in the draft class could bring to the desert.
"[Bain is] strong and physical at the point of attack to gain control of the block and set the edge against offensive tackles," the Hurricane's scouting report says. "Also, Bain is solid at holding ground against combo blocks from tackles and tight ends.
"[Additionally, he] can collapse the pocket when bull rushing and has impressive change-of-direction skills to be effective when turning speed to power."
Atlanta Falcons
2 of 32
Draft Needs
Top TE Fits on B/R Big Board
Tight ends haven't be discussed for the Falcons since Week 10, so it's time to dive into a few other potential replacement options for Kyle Pitts. People in Georgia should know what Delp can bring to the table, so let's spotlight and lesser-known prospect in the Stanford product above.
"Roush presents untapped receiving upside that will entice NFL scouts. He also executed a wide range of blocks as part of the Cardinal offense," tight ends scout Daniel Harms said. "...Roush is a workmanlike player who will do whatever a team needs, with growth potential as a reliable receiving threat."
Baltimore Ravens

Draft Needs
3rd Tier IOL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Ravens remains in the playoff hunt, but it's safe to say things haven't gone as planned this season. Lamar Jackson's injury has hurt. The struggles of the offensive line have been a primary suspect for unmet expectations, though. The Ravens should be looking to add some competition for their guard spots through the draft.
We'll continue working our way down the board with some Day 3 targets who could become starters.
Boston College's Logan Taylor would be an interesting fit because of his versatility. He's played multiple spots on the offensive line for the Eagles.
"Logan Taylor is a broad-framed, stout presence with proven versatility, who can provide depth or fill in at guard and tackle," B/R scout Brandon Thorn said in his scouting report. "Taylor has the size and strength to stick in a run-first, play-action-based system."
Buffalo Bills
4 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier Edge Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Bills are relying on Joey Bosa and A.J. Epenesa to pair with Gregory Rousseau on the edge. They'll likely need to find younger and cheaper options. The second-tier of their edge-rusher big board is built with their preference for power rushers in mind.
All three of these prospects project to Day 2. They have mixed potential as pass-rushers, but all three are the kind of physical prospects who can be plus run defenders. That should be enough to keep Buffalo's eye.
B/R scout Matt Holder loved the growth he saw from Derrick Moore in his final season with the Wolverines.
"Derrick Moore is a well-put-together pass-rusher who did an excellent job of expanding his repertoire this season to have an impressive senior year. The 6'3", 260-pound edge defender went from winning almost exclusively with speed to power to adding a nice inside counter move and becoming more explosive this season."
Carolina Panthers
5 of 32
Draft Needs
Top TE Fits on B/R Big Board
It's been far too long since tight ends were discussed for the Panthers, as the position hasn't been touched on since Week 4. So, let's take note of a few prospects on B/R's big board, and dive into what the Baylor product above could bring to Carolina.
"Trigg is a matchup problem for defenses," tight ends scout Daniel Harms said in the Bear's scouting report. "The hybrid target already displays the nuance and route detail to immediately contribute in an NFL offense.
"…He's a route craftsman, who uses explosive movements in the stem to attack leverage. He manipulates defenders well and his feel at the top of routes is clean."
Chicago Bears
6 of 32
Draft Needs:
- Safety
- Left Tackle
- 2nd Edge Rusher
- 2nd Cornerback
- Run-Stuffing Defensive Tackle
Top S Fits on B/R Big Board
- Louis Moore, Indiana (No. 75)
- Bray Hubbard, Alabama (No. 84)
- Xavier Nwankpa, Iowa (No. 109)
While safety has been covered a few times for the Bears, there have been a few risers on B/R's big board since the last time the position was discussed in Week 11. The Indiana product above is one of the biggest climbers and could fill in for Kevin Byard and/or Jaquan Brisker if one or both of them leave in free agency.
"Moore burst onto the scene during his sixth collegiate season by showcasing great instincts, range and rotation versatility, which helped vault the Indiana Hoosiers' defense into elite status," defensive backs scout Daniel Harms said.
"The safety prospect diagnoses offensive plays quickly and takes away a quarterback's options, either over the middle of the field or triggering downhill."
Cincinnati Bengals
7 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
Myles Murphy showed some real life for the Bengals with two sacks last week, but it would still be wise for them to target another edge-rusher to pair with Shemar Stewart. Murphy has 4.5 sacks on the season so he needs to do more to prove that he can be the starter moving forward.
David Bailey doesn't necessarily fit with the current Bengals mold of edge players right now. He's a little light at 250 pounds, but it's hard to argue with his production and skills.
T.J. Parker could be a really good fit within the Bengals scheme, though. B/R scout Matt Holder likes his ability to hold up at the point of attack.
"Strong and physical at the point of attack to set the edge against the run and win with power as a pass-rusher. Also has a good long-arm move to collapse the pocket."
Cleveland Browns
8 of 32
Draft Needs
3rd Tier OT Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
We talked about the Browns need at tackle in Week 10 and Week 12. However, it isn't a need that is going away so we'll keep working our way down the B/R big board for more potential fits.
It's safe to say we are in the project range with the tackle class here. These three prospects fit the bill with their frame and are young enough that the Browns would be interested. However, none are likely to start in Year 1. That being said, a project tackle who could learn behind a veteran stop-gap would be a good move for Cleveland.
"Niki Prongos is a twitchy, fluid mover with a quick trigger in pass protection and above-average movement skills that offer upside to develop into a future starter, but below-average play strength and a robotic approach in pass protection signal that he needs more refinement before being trusted on a full-time basis." - B/R scout Brandon Thorn.
Dallas Cowboys
9 of 32
Draft Needs:
Top CB fits on B/R Big Board
It's been a while since cornerbacks have been discussed for the Cowboys–Week 6 and Week 9. So, let's continue to work down B/R's big board to jot a few names who could improve Dallas' secondary.
The first two prospects above could help solve the defense's nickelback problem, and the Indiana product would also bring over some position versatility with his experience on the outside.
"Ponds is the type of competitive, athletic and playmaking cornerback that coaches want in their secondary," defensive backs scout Daniel Harms said in the Hoosier's scouting report.
"He plays bigger than his size (5'9", 173 pounds) and doesn't back down to any receiver. With great footwork, feel for space and timing, Ponds continuously makes plays on the football and frustrates receivers with his closing speed and attention to detail."
Denver Broncos
10 of 32
Draft Needs
3rd Tier LB Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Broncos need an infusion of young, cheap talent at linebacker. However, the fact that the club has a great defensive front and secondary to match means they could be a great environment for an under-the-radar prospect to thrive.
All three of these prospects are outside of our Top 100, but have things to like about their game. Taurean York has great instincts. Harold Perkins Jr. has strong pass-rush production while Jacob Rodriguez was one of the most productive defenders in college football this season.
"Jacob Rodriguez was hands-down the best linebacker in college football this season. The Butkus Award winner is a turnover machine with impressive instincts as a run defender," B/R scout Matt Holder acknowledged. "However, he lacks NFL length/size (listed at 6'1", 235 pounds) and traits to be a high-level prospect in the 2026 draft class."
Detroit Lions
11 of 32
Draft Needs
Top DT Fits on B/R Big Board
Defensive tackle isn't a major need for the Lions after using a first-round pick on Tyleik Williams a year ago. However, Williams hasn't lived up to the billing yet, Alim McNeill has battled several injuries and D.J. Reader is an impending free agent.
Also, the position hasn't been discussed for Detroit since Week 5, and there are a few risers on B/R's Big Board since then, like the Oregon product above. "Washington has been one of the biggest risers in the 2026 NFL draft class this fall as he's lived in opponents' backfields this season," the Duck's scouting report says.
"...[He has] very good strength at the point of attack to gain control of one-on-one blocks, stand up offensive linemen and hold his gap. Has also shown the quickness and agility to beat linemen across their faces and make the tackle in the adjacent gap, effectively taking away two rushing lanes."
Green Bay Packers
12 of 32
Draft Needs
Top LT Fits on B/R Big Board
While impending free agent Rasheed Walker is a candidate to receive a contract extension, ink has yet to meet paper. Also, it's been far too long since left tackles were discussed for the Packers (Week 3), and there have been a few risers on B/R's big board since then, including the Indiana product above.
"Smith is an alert, powerful blocker with a stifling punch and the competitive toughness to steer and finish consistently," offensive line scout Brandon Thorn said in the Hoosier's scouting report.
"Though only average in lateral quickness and arm length—leading to some soft edges—his strength and strain limit damage. He projects as a dependable starter inside a run-first, play-action based system."
Houston Texans
13 of 32
Draft Needs
- Interior Offensive Line
- Interior Defensive Line
- Offensive Tackle
Top DL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
- Peter Woods, Clemson (No. 9)
- LT Overton, Alabama (No. 27)
- A'Mauri Washington, Oregon (No. 36)
The Texans are getting good play out of Sheldon Rankins, but he's on a one-year contract. He's not likely to strike it rich as a 32-year-old free agent, but the Texan should be looking for a difference-maker up front. Peter Woods would be the ideal target. He's the top defensive tackle on our big board.
LT Overton is a somewhat unique prospect as a 'tweener. However, A'Mauri Washington has emerged as a first-round prospect with his blend of size, athleticism and power.
We talked about the Duck last week. Here's a little snippet of what Overton brings to the table, per Matt Holder's scouting report.
"LT Overton is the most versatile defensive lineman in the 2026 NFL draft class. He's an impressive run defender with the potential to be an impactful pass-rusher at the next level."
Indianapolis Colts
14 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier LB Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Colts have a decision to make on Zaire Franklin's contract. There's a reasonable dead cap charge if they don't want to pay a 30-year-old linebacker next season and Germaine Pratt is also scheduled to hit free agency. There are some first-round candidates to consider in the first round, but there's a nice second tier on our big board too.
Whit Weeks is particular interesting given the versatility that he's shown. There are injury concerns. He suffered a broken ankle in the Tigers bowl game last season and missed time this season with a bone bruise on the same ankle. Still, B/R scout Matt Holder sees the upside.
"Whit Weeks has the potential to become an impact NFL defender in three different phases: in coverage, as a pass-rusher and against the run."
"He's an impressive athlete to be effective in coverage right away, while showing promise as a run defender to develop into a complete linebacker and solid starter if he adds more size and strength."
Jacksonville Jaguars
15 of 32
Draft Needs
Top IOL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
Liam Coen has the Jacksonville offense playing at a high level right now. But sustained success on offense requires a good offensive line. The Jaguars spent money to bring in Robert Hainsey at center and Patrick Mekari at right guard. However, both could be upgraded through drafting and developing a replacement.
The Jags don't have a first-round pick to target the top guards on our big board, but they could invest a Day 2 pick on one of these guards. Chase Bisontis is an especially interesting fit in Coen's offense.
"Chase Bisontis is a light-footed guard prospect who creates quick leverage and has good balance to stay centered, sustain and steer blocks. Bisontis needs to clean up his positional leverage to not open too early or lean into blocks but has the movement and recovery skills to compete for a starting guard job as a rookie and develop into a quality starter within his first contract." - B/R scout Brandon Thorn
Kansas City Chiefs
16 of 32
Draft Needs
3rd Tier CB Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Chiefs will head into the draft as a team missing out on the playoffs for the first time in a decade. They need playmakers on offense, but they also need to re-stock some positions on the defense. Fortunately, they've had recent success finding defensive backs on Day 2 and 3.
There are some intriguing cornerbacks with high ceilings that could fit what they usually look for. A guy like Keith Abney II will stand out for his competitiveness, as noted by B/R scout Daniel Harms.
"Competing at the catch point is a hallmark of his game, and it's shown up every time he's tested by opposing quarterbacks, eclipsing the number of passes defensed he put up last season," he wrote. "Abney's work ethic shows in his improvement in both the physical and mental games, and NFL teams will see that."
Las Vegas Raiders
17 of 32
Draft Needs
Top Need Spotlight: CB
The Raiders have some young options in Darien Porter and Decamarion Richardson, but they should continue to take swings on cornerback in the draft. Texas A&M prospect Will Lee III could check a lot of the Raiders' boxes.
"His long, athletic frame is a tremendous asset when mirroring receivers on the outside while running their routes for them," B/R scout Daniel Harms wrote. "Then, he uses his length and eyes to attack the catch point with well-timed strikes to break up catches while driving on break points."
Top DL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
Defensive line doesn't quite crack the Raiders top three needs, but it's a big enough hole they could use an early pick to address it. If LT Overton or A'Mauri Washington slip into the second round they should absolutely be on the Raiders radar.
Peter Woods is the only one who could be destined for a top-10 pick. If the Raiders pick up a few wins and aren't picking in the top five then he could become an option to take away the sting of whiffing on Christian Wilkins in free agency.
B/R scout Matt Holder has a top-10 grade on Woods and praised him for being, "very good at getting off blocks, stack-and-shedding looks easy for him and has a hump move to escape, too."
He projects to be an excellent run defender with the athleticism and upside to become a pass-rushing threat on the interior. Those are all things that Maxx Crosby and the Raiders could use.
Los Angeles Chargers
18 of 32
Draft Needs
Top Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Jim Harbaugh ethos is to have the best offensive line in the league. That hasn't happened for the Chargers this season. Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater injuries set the table for a rough season up front and trying to fix the guard spots with Trevor Penning and Mekhi Becton hasn't gone as planed.
The drastic move would be taking Francis Mauigoa in the first round. Some teams might want to try him at tackle, but he could be an elite guard if he moves inside. If he's off the board then Olaivavega Ioane would be a strong consideration. His play style and strengths match what the Chargers are looking for.
"Olaivavega "Vega" Ioane is the top pure guard in the class thanks to his ability to halt and generate movement on command. Ioane has been a notably steady presence on an otherwise inconsistent Nittany Lions offense," B/R scout Brandon Thorn noted in his scouting report.
Los Angeles Rams
19 of 32.jpg?w=684 "Indiana St Indiana Football")
Draft Needs
Top CB Fits on B/R Big Board
It's been a while since cornerbacks were discussed for the Rams, and there have been a few risers on B/R's big board since then. One of the biggest climbers is the Indiana product above, who has the versatility to protect the boundary or potentially replace Quentin Lake in slot coverage.
"Ponds is the type of competitive, athletic and playmaking cornerback that coaches want in their secondary," the Hoosier's scouting report says. "He plays bigger than his size (5'9", 173 pounds) and doesn't back down to any receiver.
"With great footwork, feel for space and timing, Ponds continuously makes plays on the football and frustrates receivers with his closing speed and attention to detail."
Miami Dolphins
20 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier OT Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
It appears the Dolphins have found their answer at left tackle in Patrick Paul. He has taken over admirably for Terron Armstead in his second season. Austin Jackson has one year left on his current deal and his history of injuries makes him a risky re-sign. Instead, the Dolphins might want to draft a year ahead of a need and find his successor.
Carter Smith and Caleb Tiernan profile as fairly safe picks who will be serviceable NFL players at worse. But Trevor Goosby is the athletic upside play. He continues to rise up our big board.
"Trevor Goosby is a young, inexperienced tackle with vines for arms and very good play strength who operates with a feel of a more experienced player," Brandon Thorn wrote in the Longhorns' scouting report. "His high cut frame results in middling lateral quickness but he makes up for it with sound positional leverage, length and strength that signals an ascending player who will compete for a starting job sooner rather than later."
He could be a perfect fit as a player who sits for a year before replacing Jackson at right tackle.
Minnesota Vikings
21 of 32.jpg?w=684 "Cincinnati Football")
Draft Needs
Top LB Fits on B/R Big Board
Linebackers haven't been discussed for the Vikings since Week 9, and there have been a few risers on B/R's big board since then. Of the prospects above, the Cincinnati product has been one of the biggest climbers this season.
"Golday is a high-level athlete and a potential three-down linebacker in the NFL because of his size (6'4", 240 lbs), strength and athleticism," the Bearcat's scouting report says.
"His biggest flaws can be chalked up to not having much experience playing off the ball. Lightly recruited in the 2021 class, Golday was an unranked high school prospect whose college career began as an edge-defender at Central Arkansas, an FCS school."
New England Patriots
22 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier WR Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Patriots offense has experienced exponential growth in Drake Maye's sophomore season. There's potential for even more growth if the Patriots can surround him with more weapons to grow with. That could include snagging another receiver on Day 2 of the draft.
Denzel Boston would be an intriguing fit. He would do a lot of the stuff that Mack Hollins is currently doing with the team, but with a higher ceiling.
"Boston is known for his outstanding body control and ball skills, which enable him to consistently win contested catches. Boston tracks the football well as he works further down the field. He is a red-zone weapon on fade throws, getting his head and eyes around to the football quickly once he has gained upfield leverage on the defensive back. He is a savvy pass catcher who flashes his hands late as the football arrives." - B/R scout Dame Parson
New Orleans Saints
23 of 32
Draft Needs
Top CB Fits on B/R Big Board
Cornerback has been discussed several times for the Saints, but it's projected to be a significant need since the defense could afford to add a starter opposite Kool-Aid McKinstry and Alonte Taylor is an impending free agent. Also, there have been a few risers on B/R's big board recently, like the Gamecock above.
"Cisse has exceptional lateral and downhill explosion that he uses to trigger on perimeter runs/screens and maintain sticky man coverage," defesnive back scout Daniel Harms said. "The willingness and physicality to jam in press coverage give him multiple tools to be a menace as a boundary corner."
New York Giants
24 of 32
Draft Needs:
- Right Tackle
- Cornerback
- Wide Receiver
- Interior offensive line
- Linebacker
Top WR Fits on B/R Big Board
- Deion Burks, Oklahoma (No. 45)
- Zachariah Branch, Georgia (No. 49)
- Ja'Kobi Lane, USC (No. 67)
The Giants need to find a quality No. 2 receiver to take some of the pressure off of Malik Nabers, especially since Wan'Dale Robinson is an impending free agent. Considering the Oklahoma product above has experience lining up on both the inside and outside, he'd be a good fit in New York.
"Burks is an explosive impact playmaker with the football and possesses a better skill set than the numbers suggest (50 catches, 513 yards and three touchdowns in 2025)," offensive skill positions scout Dame Parson said.
"He is a dynamic weapon in the open field and will flip field possession in an instant. His speed creates opportunities for explosive plays at any moment."
New York Jets
25 of 32
Draft Needs
2nd Tier DL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
Aaron Glenn grew accustomed to a big, physical defensive line when he was with the Detroit Lions. The interior defensive line in Detroit might not have been the most potent pass-rushers, but they were going to build a wall that would stop the run and push the pocket.
He should be looking to do a similar thing in New York. Without Quinnen Williams, there's not a lot to get excited about on the interior. All three of these prospects are hulking defensive linemen who will hold up at the point of attack.
Kayden McDonald has done a lot this season to stand out in Ohio State's defense.
"While Kayden McDonald's technique remains a work in progress, he displays a unique ability to get himself out of bad positions and dominate against the run thanks to his rare combination of size (6'3", 326 lbs), strength and athleticism," Holder wrote in his scouting report.
Philadelphia Eagles
26 of 32
Draft Needs:
Top Edge Fits on B/R Big Board
It's been a while since adding an edge-rusher was the focus for the Eagles, as the position was highlighted in Week 3 and spotlighted during Week 9.
Especially with Jaelan Phillips being an impending free agent, people in Philadelphia should keep tabs on the Oklahoma product above during the upcoming College Football Playoffs.
"Thomas is a twitched-up pass rusher who combines athleticism, physicality and scrappiness to be very good at turning speed-to-power and getting to the quarterback," the Sooner's scouting report says.
"These traits should help the 6'2", 249-pound edge defender become a productive third-down rusher at the next level despite lacking NFL size and length."
Pittsburgh Steelers
27 of 32
Draft Needs
Top Need Spotlight: CB
The Steelers traded for Jalen Ramsey, but the pursuit of improving the secondary shouldn't stop there. Another young corner to pair with Joey Porter Jr. should be a consideration. Ohio State's Davison Igbinosun is one to watch in the College Football Playoff.
"Davison Igbinosun is a physical force on the outside in coverage and run defense, and one of the most improved defensive backs in the nation."
"He still brings the competitive nature to the position, but he's cleaned up the penalties and turned into a shutdown corner. He takes pride in the run game and is as sure a tackler as they come." - Harms
Top DL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Steelers will have to replace Cam Heyward eventually. They've drafted Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton in recent drafts to form a young core for their defensive line. Adding a third one to the mix would ensure that the Steelers remain stout up front well into Heyward's retirement.
They're one of the best candidates to maximize LT Overton's versatility. However, an attacking 3-technique like Christen Miller would also make sense.
"The Georgia defensive tackle is one of those rare players who combines size, strength and movement skills to have the potential to make an impact on every down at the next level," Matt Holder wrote of the Bulldog defender.
San Francisco 49ers
28 of 32
Draft Needs
Top OT Fits on B/R Big Board
Especially after signing Colton McKivitz to a contract extension earlier in the year, offensive tackle won't be an immediate need in San Francisco. However, Trent Williams will be 38 in July and is only signed through 2026. So, it couldn't hurt to invest in a succession plan for Williams, and the Texas product above is an intriguing option.
"Goosby is a young, inexperienced tackle with vines for arms and very good play strength who operates with a feel of a more experienced player," offensive line scout Brandon Thorn said in the Longhorn's scouting report.
"His high cut frame results in middling lateral quickness, but he makes up for it with sound positional leverage, length and strength that signals an ascending player who will compete for a starting job sooner rather than later."
Seattle Seahawks

Draft Needs
Top WR Fits on B/R Big Board
Wide receiver has only been discussed once for the Seahawks, and that was back in Week 10. While the position is certainly an ancillary need in Seattle, it can't hurt to keep tabs on a few names heading into draft season, especially the Oklahoma product above.
"Burks is an explosive impact playmaker with the football and possesses a better skill set than the numbers suggest," the Sooner's scouting report says. "He is a dynamic weapon in the open field and will flip field possession in an instant. His speed creates opportunities for explosive plays at any moment."
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
30 of 32
Draft Needs
Top DT Fits on B/R Big Board
It's been a while since adding a run-stuffing defensive tackle has been discussed for the Buccaneers, as the position hasn't been brought up since Week 9. Miller could take on that role for Tampa Bay, and potentially give the Bucs' defense even more because he has a high ceiling.
"The Georgia defensive tackle is one of those rare players who combines size, strength and movement skills to have the potential to make an impact on every down at the next level," the Bulldog's scouting report says.
"...[He] takes on blocks from interior offensive linemen with good pad level and a wide base to stay in his gap when left one-on-one. He is also quick to recognize down blocks to avoid getting washed inside."
Tennessee Titans
31 of 32
Draft Needs
3rd Tier IOL Scheme Fits on B/R Big Board
The Titans are clearly still rebuilding after drafting Cam Ward. The biggest priority this offseason has to be nailing the coaching search and giving Ward the ecosystem he needs to thrive. That would include a continued investment in the offensive line. Ideally, they would draft a center, guard or both to develop more depth on the interior.
Connor Lew and Logan Jones would be centers worth looking at. Lew suffered a season-ending knee injury so he's sure to be drafted lower than his talent would indicate. Logan Taylor might be most interesting of the trio for his potential fit as a guard.
"Logan Taylor is a broad-framed, stout presence with proven versatility, who can provide depth or fill in at guard and tackle. Taylor has the size and strength to stick in a run-first, play-action-based system." - Brandon Thorn
Washington Commanders

Draft Needs
Top S Fits on B/R Big Board
Safety was highlighted in Week 5 and Caleb Downs was covered last week, but the position hasn't been discussed enough for the Commanders. So, let's take note of a few other defensive backs who should be on Adam Peters' radar, especially the Oregon product mentioned above.
"Theineman's versatile skillset is being underrated as a true three-down impact defender in the NFL," defensive backs scout Daniel Harms said in the Duck's scouting report. "He can line up anywhere, triggers downhill in a hurry, and gives the coaching staff his all whenever he's on the field. The effort shows up in every phase."
