New Daniel Jeremiah NFL Draft 2026 Big Board Drops, Who Is Rising & Falling amid Latest Rumors?

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah released his final big board ahead of this week's draft on Monday, and there weren't many changes in the top 10, with only Ohio State safety Caleb Downs bumping up one spot to No. 8 and LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane bumping down a spot to No. 9.

There weren't too many drastic changes in general, though Arizona State wideout Jordyn Tyson was moved three spots higher to No. 18, Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy fell four spots to No. 19, his teammate Colton Hood bumped four spots higher to No. 21 and Washington wideout was moved four spots higher to No. 23, among the changes.

UCF edge Malachi Lawrence was the highest riser, moving up six spots to No. 40.

Three players went from being previously unranked in the top 50 to making the cut this time around (Georgia DT Christen Miller, No. 46; Arizona S Treydan Stukes, No. 48; Indiana CB D'Angelo Ponds, No. 50).

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza still tops Jeremiah's big board ahead of his expected selection at No. 1 overall by the Las Vegas Raiders, with the NFL Network's draft analyst comparing his game to former NFL MVP Matt Ryan.

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, Texas Tech edge David Bailey and Ohio State edge Arvell Reese round out Jeremiah's top five.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Love this week, with talks he could be in play as high as No. 3 to the Arizona Cardinals, and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday that Love isn't expected to be on the board beyond the Washington Commanders at No. 7.

He added that there is "growing chatter in league circles that Love is truly in play at the high end of that range with Arizona. Ideally, the Cardinals would like to find a team willing to trade up so they can acquire more picks, and there have already been 'exploratory' calls, as one source described it, regarding the No. 3 selection. But if the Cardinals hold on to their pick, some around the league believe they could pull an early draft surprise and select Love in a slot slightly higher than he has been projected to go."

Love is the No. 2 overall player on the B/R NFL Scouting Department's final big board, behind only Styles.
