The Titans selected Carmona in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 142nd overall.

Carmona was a starting left tackle in three of his five college seasons before transitioning to left guard in 2025, when he was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. The Arkansas product doesn't stand out for his physical traits compared to other offensive linemen in the draft, but he has the footwork and quick hands to keep up with opposing defenders, even if he's caught a step behind. Carmona gives the Titans depth on the offensive line, with Peter Skoronski and Dan Moore anchored in as the starting left guard and left tackle, respectively, for Tennessee.

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.

The 49ers selected Prysock in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 139th overall.

In a lot of ways, Prysock is similar to former Washington teammate Tacario Davis, who was selected in the third round (72nd overall) by the Bengals. Prysock (6-foot-3, 196 pounds) is also an unusually tall corner, and he was only trivially slower than Davis in the 40 (4.41 versus Prysock's 4.45). Also like Davis, Prysock's tall frame dictates that he focus at the boundary corner position, and ideally in press man coverage or Cover-3 principles to best capitalize on his height, reach and speed. With guys this tall they usually struggle against quicker, smaller receivers or/and with zone transitions, though.

The Dolphins selected Louis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 138th overall.

The Dolphins took a linebacker for the second time this draft, as they previously scooped Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech at pick No. 43. Louis is an interesting prospect. He's quite small for an NFL linebacker at 6-foot, 220 pounds, but he's a fantastic athlete with a 4.53 40-yard dash and a 39.5-inch vertical jump. Louis showcased impressive range in college at Pittsburgh, piling up stats at both linebacker and in coverage. Over his final two seasons, he generated 182 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks, 12 pass breakups and six interceptions. Louis isn't expected to line up in the box on every snap in the NFL because of his size, but he's a fluid player who rarely missed tackles in college. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley likely has a vision for Louis as a versatile defender.

The Cowboys selected Overton in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 137th overall.

Overton displayed his versatility by playing all over the defensive line with Alabama in 2025, finishing with 42 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 13 games (12 starts). The Cowboys selected two other defensive rushers in Malachi Lawrence and Jaishawn Barham in the first and third rounds, respectively, so Overton's ability to line up in multiple spots and fit in different schemes should be an asset as he heads into his rookie NFL season.

The Saints selected Lance in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 136th overall.

Lance (6-foot-3, 204 pounds) boasts adequate size to complement his explosive athletic trades (4.34 40-yard dash), and he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his two seasons as a starter at North Dakota State (five years total). He showed especially well on deep routes in 2025, when he logged a career-best 21.5 yards per catch across 13 games as a fifth-year senior. To compete for more than a rotational role at the NFL level, Lance will need to significantly expand his route tree, but in New Orleans' crowded wide receiver room there may not be much pressure to develop into more than a situational playmaker. All of Devaughn Vele (shoulder), Mason Tipton (groin), Bub Means (lower leg), Kevin Austin, Trey Palmer (ankle), Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder), Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure represent competition for Lance to earn wide receiver reps behind Chris Olave (illness) and No. 8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson.

The Colts selected Boettcher in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 135th overall.

Boettcher's athleticism doesn't jump off the page, and he's a little undersized at 6-foot-1, 233 pounds. However, he has the speed to get to ball carriers and proved to have a nose for the football with Oregon, racking up 132 tackles and 1.0 sacks as a senior, adding five pass deflections and an interception to his resume. He'll join a revamped Colts linebacker room that added Akeem Davis-Gaither and John Bullock in the 2026 calendar year via free agency (Davis-Gaither) and waiver claim (Bullock) and CJ Allen as a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Boettcher likely faces an uphill battle to see regular playing time as a rookie and will presumably be asked to contribute on special teams, but he'll get a chance to prove his worth in camp.

The Falcons selected Daniels in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 134th overall.

Daniels (6-foot-5, 242 pounds) actually began his college career as a safety at Oklahoma State, where he was quite productive before transferring to Oklahoma to play linebacker. Daniels' frame is almost certainly linebacker-only at the NFL level, and his 4.79-second pro day 40 additionally ensures he will stick at linebacker for the Falcons.

The Ravens selected Hibner in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 133rd overall.

The Ravens lost tight ends Isaiah Likely to the Giants and Charlie Kolar to the Chargers in free agency, so they're likely hoping Hibner along with free-agent addition Durham Smythe can add immediate depth behind Mark Andrews. Hibner spent six years in college. He caught just two passes through his first four seasons at Michigan before transferring to SMU for his final two years of eligibility and producing 55 receptions for 804 yards and eight touchdowns over 27 games. Hibner is an impressive athlete with a 4.57 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 251 pounds, and he's a strong route runner with dependable hands. However, he'll need to immediately prove that his blocking skills can translate to the NFL before he establishes himself in the rotation.

The Chargers selected Smith in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 131st overall.

Smith (6-foot-2, 202 pounds) started the final two seasons of his three years at Arizona and stands to provide RJ Mickens with immediate competition for rotational snaps at safety behind Elijah Molden, Derwin James and Tony Jefferson. The 21-year-old Smith plays fast enough to provide a wide range of coverage but will need to develop into a more physical and consistent tackler in order to fit the bill as a potential starter at the NFL level.
