Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. Eric Edholm provides analysis for every player selected in Rounds 6 and 7 below.
NOTE: Only trades agreed to after Day 1 began are reflected below.
Green's warts as a passer can be maddening, but they don't build quarterbacks much better than this, physically speaking. He's a tremendous athlete who could develop into a Kaepernickian-type prospect. More QB intrigue added in Cleveland. Is there room for Dillon Gabriel" data-link="/players/dillon-gabriel/" data-slug="dillon-gabriel"> Dillon Gabriel?
The overachieving Sharar made himself into a starter his final season, and though he's still developing his instincts, he offers good athletic upside. Despite a limited frame, Sharar made several plays in the backfield last season.
Marshall is an undersized penetrator who tested well athletically at the combine, but his play is a bit up and down. He'll let tackles slip through his short arms and can be engulfed at times by blockers.
Sharp is a converted QB who offers some versatility and he plays with high intensity. However, there are limits to what he can do as a receiver and blocker.
There are some fascinating traits to be molded with BJT, who has a massive frame and moves pretty well for his size. His production has been limited, and he remains green even after six years of college, but Jamison-Travis could be a fun project.
I thought Allen had a chance to go prior to his PSU running mate Nicholas Singleton" data-link="/players/nicholas-singleton/" data-slug="nicholas-singleton"> Nicholas Singleton, with a better overall feel for the position. Allen uses his mass well, running with power, and could be a short-yardage and goal-line ace.
A big, hulking guard, Cooper can lead the way in a power running game. He's never going to be agile-footed and might always struggle with quicker rushers inside, but that power can play if Cooper keeps his weight in check.
Given the way tackles (and later, centers) shot off the board, I figured Parker would have gone sooner. He was being evaluated at both spots despite only learning center this offseason. He's a decent athlete whose skill set can be tried outside but might work better on the interior.
It's interesting that the Saints list Brown's primary position as kick returner, and for good reason. Brown authored an SEC-record six TD returns, all of them 99 yards or longer. His speed is his superpower, and Brown's WR skills are underdeveloped.
Cameron is a unicorn of sorts. There aren't many 6-foot-1, 220-pound receivers who return punts and move the way he does. He doesn't separate readily and must prove he can win in traffic, but Cameron is an interesting study who's worth investing in.
Davis played left tackle at Illinois but feels bound for the interior. He uses his good length and functional athleticism to keep defenders at bay and has progressed nicely since his days at New Mexico.
Kelly rarely missed a snap the past four years over a 47-start college career, and he ran a 4.57-second 40-yard dash at 240 pounds at the combine. Even with some stiffness, Kelly is a self-motivated winner who can bring competitive spirit to New York.
The Rose Bowl MVP was the glue to a highly successful Indiana offense, overcoming his lack of athleticism to control the interior. He's a blue-collar worker and uses good technique to win.
Benson is a track star who developed into a quality receiver over four stops in five college seasons. He has a small frame and a limited route tree, mostly running deep routes, but Benson could open things up for Fernando Mendoza in Vegas.
Crownover was one of the few remaining OT prospects who could develop into a starter, but that process could take some time. With massive size and underrated movement skills, Crownover has tools to work with, but he was clunky in pass pro and flag-happy in college.
Despite average speed and good, not great size, Daniels finds ways to get open, possessing good feel for routes and setting up DBs. He's dependable and can come down with passes in traffic but has a limited ceiling.
The smallish Claiborne can absolutely go when he's given a lane. He can impact the game as a runner and returner, but he struggled with ball security last season and might never profile as a full-time back.
