CJ Daniels WR | LAR
Rams' CJ Daniels: Picked up by Rams
The Rams selected Daniels in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 197th overall.
Daniels played for three different schools during his six-year college career, which ended with Miami in 2025, when he caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns across 13 games. He brings a 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame with good instincts and an all-around package that can help him compete at the NFL level, even if there isn't a specific category or trait that he excels in. Daniels will have the opportunity to compete against Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield for the Rams' WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. WR | SEA
Seahawks' Emmanuel Henderson: Selected by Seahawks
The Seahawks selected Henderson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 199th overall.
Henderson (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) might be a better bet to make a roster than most other sixth-round rookie receiver selections, because Henderson is fully expected to stand out as a special-teams gunner. Henderson was a known special-teams presence even while he was a backup wideout at Alabama, but Henderson managed to log an encouraging season of wideout production in his one year at Kansas. The selection of Henderson might be a bad sign for 2025 seventh-round pick Ricky White, who was also largely selected for his special-teams ability.

Malik Benson WR | LV
Raiders' Malik Benson: Heads to Raiders
The Raiders selected Benson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 195th overall.
Benson was well-traveled during his college career, beginning with two seasons of community college before making one-year stops at Alabama, Florida State and Oregon to round out his career. Benson did, at least, save his best season for last in Eugene in 2025, racking up 43 catches for 719 yards and six touchdowns, all career-best marks. He's a bit slender at 6-foot, 189 pounds, but the 23-year-old wideout ran among the better 40 times for wideouts with a 4.37 mark. Benson claims solid range and ball skills but needs work on his route running and to add muscle. Benson has some history as a return man for the Ducks and will likely need to contribute on special teams in Las Vegas.

Barion Brown WR | NO
Saints' Barion Brown: Bound for New Orleans
The Saints selected Brown in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 190th overall.
Brown is a speedster who can take the top off the defense, compiling 53 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown in his senior season at LSU. He's very thin at 5-foot-11, 177 pounds, and he profiles as more of a sprinter than a polished route runner. Brown will likely be asked to add weight and muscle mass to his frame at the next level, and he'll need to clean up drops -- he totaled 21 drops over four seasons in college. One thing working in Brown's favor is his aptitude as a returner, which could help his case for a 53-man roster spot with the Saints. At receiver, Chris Olave and first-round pick Jordyn Tyson top the team's depth chart, and Devaughn Vele has shown pretty well in his first couple of NFL campaigns, but there is room for Brown to find a home and move up the depth chart if he performs well in camp.

Josh Cameron WR | JAC
Jaguars' Josh Cameron: Added by Jacksonville
The Jaguars selected Cameron in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 191st overall.
Cameron (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) played five years at Baylor and started every game in each of his final two seasons, making use of his big-bodied frame to total 19 touchdowns from 2024-25. As a rookie with Jacksonville, Cameron may successfully carve out opportunities as a situational big-play threat, but to earn a larger role than that at the NFL level he'll need to make significant developmental strides as a route runner. With Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and dual DB/WR Travis Hunter (knee) all demanding opportunities in the Jaguars' wide receiver room, there likely won't be many snaps for Cameron to compete with against Tim Jones, Austin Trammell and Chandler Brayboy.

Kevin Coleman Jr. WR | MIA
Dolphins' Kevin Coleman: Scooped up by Miami
The Dolphins selected Coleman in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 177th overall.
Coleman played for four different schools during his four-year college career, which ended in 2025 with Missouri, when he posted 66 catches for 732 yards and one touchdown across 13 games. He served primarily as a slot wide receiver and had the explosiveness to beat the first man, and his experience as a punt returner could earn him playing time in his rookie season in the NFL. Coleman is the third wide receiver selected by the Dolphins in this year's draft, joining Texas Tech's Caleb Douglas and Louisville's Chris Bell.

Cyrus Allen WR | KC
Chiefs' Cyrus Allen: Lands in Kansas City
The Chiefs selected Allen in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 176th overall.
Allen (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) led Cincinnati with 674 receiving yards while totaling a career-high 13 touchdowns across as many games in 2025, and he also logged stints at Louisiana Tech and Texas A&M during his collegiate career. He assisted his draft profile courtesy of a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and a solid showing at the NFL Combine (4.49-second 40-yard dash), but given that Nikko Remigio, Jalen Royals, Jason Brownlee, Jimmy Holiday and Andrew Armstrong are all also competing for depth opportunities behind starting wideouts Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton, Allen may have to show competence on special teams this offseason in order to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Kendrick Law WR | DET
Lions' Kendrick Law: Lands with Lions
The Lions selected Law in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 168th overall.
The Lions sent the Bills a sixth-round pick to move up 13 spots to select Law. After three unassuming seasons at Alabama, Law transferred to Kentucky and started eight of 12 games, leading the team with 53 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns. Law was mostly used as an underneath receiver for the Wildcats with a 3.4-yard average depth of target, but he's quick and can gain yards after the catch. There's not a clear role available in Detroit's offense, with receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams leading the way while running back Jahmyr Gibbs continues to command a hefty target share. Thus, Law will look to carve out a gadget role while contributing on special teams, both as a gunner and a returner.

Reggie Virgil WR | ARI
Cardinals' Reggie Virgil: Nabbed by Cardinals
The Cardinals selected Virgil in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 143rd overall.
Virgil leveraged his third-year breakout at Miami (Ohio) in 2024 into a starting role at Texas Tech in 2025. The 21-year-old finished his final season with 57 receptions for 705 yards and six touchdowns. He's a tall, lanky receiver at 6-foot-3, 187 pounds, and while that didn't limit him in college, it will be a bigger impediment to playing time in the NFL. Out of the gate, Virgil, who ran a 4.57 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine, figures to be a candidate to compete for special-teams work until he can carve out an offensive role in an Arizona WR corps that's led by Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

Colbie Young WR | CIN
Bengals' Colbie Young: Picked up by Bengals
The Bengals selected Young in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 140th overall.
Young certainly doesn't lack for size at 6-foot-5, 218 pounds, and he moves well for that size, running a 4.49 4-yard dash at the NFL Combine, though he takes a bit of time to get up to speed. Young's height and big frame give him plenty of range, and he's comfortable working down the field, but he doesn't have a special-teams background. That's likely something he'll need to learn with the Bengals, but Young will also get an opportunity to hone his craft behind two star wideouts in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. However, the room behind that duo and Andrei Iosivas is largely unproven, so Young could have a chance to carve out a spot pretty high on the depth chart with a good showing in training camp.
