Max Iheanachor possesses a prototypical NFL offensive tackle frame. Measuring 6’5-7/8” weighing 321 pounds with 9-inch hands—a massive 83.25-inch wingspan. His 33-7/8” arms cross the critical threshold—mirroring premier NFL blindside protectors like Laremy Tunsil (6’5”, 313 lbs, 34.25” arms) and Tristan Wirfs (6’5”, 320 lbs, 34” arms). Iheanachor’s raw physical dimensions and weight distribution comfortably rank in the upper echelon of the 2026 offensive line group.

The film reveals an incredibly fluid athlete with elite lateral quickness and lower-half fluidity. Iheanachor excels in pass protection, posting a 78.3 pass-blocking efficiency rating across 860 snaps in 2025—allowing zero sacks and just three quarterback hits. He dictates matchups with a wide engagement radius, famously neutralizing Texas Tech’s elite edge rushers by surrendering just two pressures the entire game.

Despite these dominant flashes and a 98.5% pressure efficiency rate, his extreme rawness—having only played football since 2021—doesn’t necessarily preclude a first-round grade. He warrants a late 1st round pick for a team wanting the 5th year of control for cost control and development. An early-to-mid Day 2 selection is expected to be the latest where a franchise can capitalize on his elite physical profile without demanding Day-1 technical perfection.

Producing one of the most statistically dominant seasons in Texas A&M history, Cashius Howell terrorized the SEC in 2025 with 11.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, and 41 quarterback pressures. The unanimous All-American and SEC Defensive Player of the Year operates with a violently sudden first step, firing out of a two-point stance to immediately compromise blocking angles.

He wins the arc through elite ankle flexion and natural hip bend, consistently dipping entirely under the strike zone of opposing tackles. When his primary speed rush stalls, he flawlessly transitions into a lethal inside spin counter. Even when neutralized, he weaponizes high-end instincts to bat down passes at the line of scrimmage, guaranteeing backfield disruption.

Caleb Banks plays out of a 6‑foot‑6, 327‑pound frame with 35‑inch arms and an elite 1.10 ape index. He weaponized his overwhelming length and physical displacement power to generate knock‑back with his first strike and immediate post‑contact power. His first step is sudden for his size, and his club move creates clear breach points into the gaps—Banks doesn’t absorb blocks—he ragdolls interior linemen.

When firing off the ball as a 3-technique or an odd-front 5-technique, he starts hot with agile feet and violent hands. Banks wins reps early in the down by swiping past lunging guards or deploying raw attack strength to execute a heavy bull rush. His suddenness routinely destroys the geometry of the offensive line, disrupting run paths and backfield timing before plays can materialize.

The pre-draft tape already showcased a back who erupted with a highly productive 2,497 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Love is a verified home-run threat who rockets through interior entry points to stress missed run fits—averaging 4.5 yards after contact while forcing 56 missed tackles. The 2025 campaign churned up 21 TDs on 1,372 rushing yards—turning routine off-tackle concepts into 70-yard track meets. He shortens his stride to improve control, slamming the accelerator to escape rallying defenders with a 127.5 elusiveness rating. His 117.3 Speed Score confirms he generates terrifying mass and force at the point of contact.

Arriving at Lucas Oil Stadium, Love backed up his 2025 campaign by incinerating the track with a 4.36-second 40-yard dash. Clocking the exact same 40-time as Jahmyr Gibbs, Love confirmed his 53% collegiate breakaway rate was pure athletic dominance, not just a byproduct of elite blocking. Most analysts moved Love into a tier of his own, noting that he consistently plays even faster than his 4.36-second 40-yard dash. This play speed is defined by a rare ability to maintain maximum velocity while navigating traffic, a trait that separates elite home-run hitters from pure track athletes.

Sonny Styles is the prototype for the modern NFL “position-less” defender—a 244-pound eraser pairing an edge-rusher’s frame with a cornerback’s gimbaled hips. A former five-star safety who migrated to the second level to anchor the Buckeyes’ 2024 championship defense, Styles spent 2025 essentially eliminating the “missed tackle” from his vocabulary. Standing 6-foot-5 with a massive 1.05 Ape Index, he led the nation with a staggering 2.2% missed-tackle rate. Styles is a historic outlier, utilizing 32 7/8-inch arms to lock out linemen and erase vertical seams with elite lateral range.

Player Profile Snapshot

At just 20 years old, Arvell Reese is a dynamic, 241-pound defensive weapon who is still actively filling out his frame. Operating with a highly proportional 1.04 Ape Index, with 32.5-inch arms, his length provides playmaking range a city block wide. While his arm length sits just under the preferred 33-inch threshold for pure perimeter edge rushers—it is more than sufficient for an off-ball linebacker, allowing him to deliver tone-setting hand strikes that explode into his targets and keep his pads clean. He possesses all the physical tools and baseline measurements required to become a premier NFL edge-setter.

Reese entered Indianapolis needing to validate his dynamic deployment potential as a Mike linebacker and a stand-up edge. He absolutely proved his tape is real, scorching the track with a 4.38-second 40-yard dash. The combine verified that his kinetic, twitchy lateral movements and closing speed are rooted in top-tier athletic traits. He proved his collegiate production was fueled by genuine, NFL-caliber explosiveness, cementing his status as a fluid and fast defender who maximizes his attack on two-way goes.

David Bailey’s transfer from Stanford to Texas Tech triggered the most violent pass-rush campaign in the nation. Leading the country with 14.5 sacks and a lethal 21.6-percent pass-rush win rate, Bailey entered Indianapolis needing to prove his production was not simply a byproduct of the Big 12 offensive structure. He delivered a categorical statement, posting a 10-foot-9 broad jump and a blistering 1.51-second 10-yard split. Clocking a top speed of 22.91 MPH during his 40-yard dash, Bailey verified the rare closing burst required to hunt dual-threat quarterbacks from the backside.

Operating with functional length including the requisite 1.05 Ape Index, Bailey utilizes elite sequencing to deploy a lethal long-arm stab, seamlessly converting speed-to-power or disappearing underneath tackles with a high-end "ghost" technique. He is a tactician who understands exactly how to shorten the corner, reduce his surface area, and compress the pocket with professional precision.

Player Profile Snapshot

Before arriving in Bloomington Mendoza was the definition of a “just-a-guy.” Scouts viewed Mendoza as a low-ceiling prospect who struggled to elevate a team beyond its baseline. Over two seasons at Cal (2023–2024), he was mediocre at best, battling through a 6-7 record both years. While he showed flashes of accuracy, his production was middling: he totaled 30 passing touchdowns against 16 interceptions in 20 starts.

The 2025 transfer to Indiana is where Mendoza completely rewrote his evaluation, transforming from a turnover-prone starter into a Heisman Trophy-winning technician. Directing a historic 16-0 National Championship campaign, he decimated Big Ten defenses, throwing for 3,535 yards, 41 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. He capped off the run by setting Rose Bowl records with an 87.5-percent completion rate and a 250.2 passer rating against Alabama. The tape showcases a hyper-efficient processor operating perfectly on schedule.

Francis Mauigoa operated as a 329-pound bulldozer for Miami in 2025, starting all 42 games (1,034 snaps) of his career without missing a single snap at right tackle. As the winner of the ACC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy and a Consensus First-Team All-American, he anchored a unit that ranked No. 5 in the nation in fewest tackles for loss allowed (3.63 per game).

The film showcases a premier pass-protector. Posting an 87.0 pass-block efficiency with just one sack allowed in 205 true pass sets (two total in 2025) is elite production. His 93.7% win rate in high-leverage situations ranks second among 2026 draft-eligible tackles, verifying his blue-chip technician status. Proficient in both gap and outside zone concepts, Mauigoa is a mauler with bad intentions climbing to the second level.

Arriving in Indianapolis to solidify his status as the draft's premium offensive tackle, Mauigoa’s official measurements at weigh-ins triggered immediate concern across league scouting departments.

Kenyon Sadiq weaponized Oregon’s spread offense in 2025—claiming Big Ten Tight End of the Year honors—rewriting the Ducks’ record books with 51 catches and eight touchdowns. As a Mackey Award finalist, he operated as a lethal "move" mismatch—reinforcing his value as a QB’s best friend with a massive 145.5 passer rating when targeted. Evaluators arrived in Indianapolis to contextualize this historic efficiency against athletic benchmarks—searching for the verified traits to justify Sadiq potentially becoming the highest-drafted tight end since 2021.

Sadiq delivered a historic clinic—obliterating the all-time tight end 40-yard dash record with a 4.39. Off the turf, he overwhelmed front offices during “chalk talk”

Stepping out from the shadow of Jeremiah Smith—Tate made his quarterback’s job easy with a near-perfect 151.8 passer rating when targeted. Even after missing three games in 2025 with a calf strain—Tate still managed to separate himself as a premier go-to weapon—posting career highs across the board. Tate averaged 17.2 yards per reception while securing nine touchdowns—including five scores of 40-plus yards. His nine-catch, 183-yard destruction of Minnesota showcased a receiver who covers ground quickly with a long stride and attacks defender leverage with suddenness, earning second-team All-American honors.

Evaluators arrived in Indianapolis demanding verification of Tate’s top-end gear to justify a top-10 selection. Needing to prove that his play speed translated to the next level—Tate ran a 4.53 forty—slotting him 27th out of 34 receivers.

Player Profile Snapshot

After transferring to LSU, Mansoor Delane delivered a technical clinic in coverage during his 2025 campaign—translating elite route-pattern recognition directly into high-end production. Delane is a field general—a pure mirror-and-match tactician, pairing 45 tackles and 11 pass breakups with a suffocating 31.3 passer rating allowed when targeted. While his elite 89.1 man-coverage evaluation and calm footwork proved his sticky status in both man and zone concepts—his decision to opt out of athletic testing shifted the focus heavily toward his physical profile.

Measuring in with 30-inch arms, Delane’s length registers well below average for a boundary cornerback. On film, he utilizes leverage manipulation and advanced spatial awareness with violent hands at the line of scrimmage—manufacturing an advantage both in press alignments and at the catch point. The glaring concern is translation—how will he effectively carbon copy that exact technique at the next level against longer, stronger, and substantially more physical wide receivers?

Without top-tier extension, NFL offensive coordinators will look to stress his high-cut transitions and press-coverage consistency. Expect play-callers to intentionally isolate him against “X” receivers with superior catch radii who can out-reach his frame in contested-catch situations.

He attacks the line of scrimmage with an aggressive, low-center-of-gravity approach, establishing himself as one of the most statistically productive, dominant and highly-evaluated collegiate edge defenders in the country against both the run and the pass. But then he opted out of the agility portion of the NFL Combine—leaving as the NFL Draft’s most polarizing riddles.

His 2025 collegiate tape produced 77 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, and two interceptions across 13 games. Driven by a 92.1 overall metric and a 91.8 coverage evaluation, he diagnoses offensive concepts instantly. Utilizing a 32 1/8-inch arm length and a 1.04 Ape Index, he resides in the premium length tier for NFL safeties. This length advantage provides immediate first-strike disruption, allowing him to effectively shed or challenge athletic tight ends across intermediate alignments, generating a massive 33.3-percent forced incompletion rate.

Player Profile Snapshot

Standing 6-foot-3/4 and 188 pounds, Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy possesses the exact physical dimensions demanded of a boundary cornerback. With 31 1/4-inch arms, he secures a proportional reach that vaults his frame into the premium length tier to erase perimeter targets. Unlike shorter-armed defenders struggling at the catch point, his wingspan allows him to execute a devastating one-hand jam in press-man coverage while maintaining balance to mirror wideouts vertically.
