J.C. Davis OT | NYG
Giants' J.C. Davis: Taken by Giants
The Giants selected Davis in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 192nd overall.
Davis started at left tackle in each of his last four collegiate seasons, the last two of which were spent with Illinois, and he was named to the All-Big Ten First-Team in 2025. His 6-foot-4, 322-pound frame makes him a stocky blocker who has good quickness with his feet, and he could emerge as an NFL-level starter with continued improvement. For now, he figures to serve in a reserve role at offensive tackle behind Jermaine Eluemunor and Andrew Thomas (hamstring).

Brian Parker II C | CIN
Bengals' Brian Parker: Picked by Cincinnati
The Bengals selected Parker in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 189th overall.
Parker (6-foot-5, 309 pounds) was a tackle at Duke who was expected to move to center, not completely unlike former Duke left tackle and current Tampa Bay center Graham Barton, but the NFL obviously regarded Parker as the lesser prospect of the two. Furthermore, the Bengals already drafted a center in the fourth round when they took the distinguished Connor Lew. Perhaps the Bengals will try Parker out at guard rather than center.

Anez Cooper G | NYJ
Jets' Anez Cooper: Snagged by Jets
The Jets selected Cooper in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 188th overall.
The Jets sent the Seahawks a seventh-round pick to move up 11 spots and take Cooper. Through four years at Miami, Cooper started 45 games at right guard. Cooper's an imposing force at 6-foot-6, 334 pounds and should be considered a solid backup on the interior of the Jets' offensive line.

Bauer Sharp TE | TB
Buccaneers' Bauer Sharp: Lands with Buccaneers
The Buccaneers selected Sharp in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 185th overall.
Sharp made three different stops during his college career, starting out at a lower level at Southeastern Louisiana before transferring to Oklahoma in 2024 and on to LSU in 2025. In his final college campaign with LSU, Bauer compiled 24 grabs for 252 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Sharp lacks some of the athleticism to make plays downfield, but he works well underneath and is a solid blocker. Cade Otton remains entrenched atop the Bucs' depth chart at tight end and Payne Durham is likely aligned behind him, but Sharp could compete with Devin Culp for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, and the former also figures to be a special-teams candidate.

Kaytron Allen RB | WAS
Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Scooped up by Commanders
Washington selected Allen in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 187th overall.
Allen spent his entire four-year college career at Penn State, and he mostly served in a committee with Nicholas Singleton before emerging as the Nittany Lions' lead rusher in 2025. Allen was named to both the All-Big Ten First-Team and All-American Second Team last year, when he turned 210 carries into 1,303 yards (6.2 YPC) and 15 touchdowns while adding 18 catches for 68 yards across 12 games. He is a powerful runner that gets better as the game progresses, and while he doesn't have blazing speed, he has the vision, patience and strength to grind out yards. The Commanders will likely take the committee approach to their backfield under new offensive coordinator David Blough, though Allen will have the opportunity to emerge with a role, with his competition for snaps coming from Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jerome Ford and Jeremy McNichols.

Bobby Jamison-Travis DT | NYG
Giants' Bobby Jamison-Travis: Joins Giants
The Giants selected Jamison-Travis in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 186th overall.
Jamison-Travis spent three years at the junior college level before transferring to Auburn in 2023. He started four of 12 games for the Tigers in 2024 before emerging as a full-time starter in 2025, when he posted a career-best 35 tackles, including two tackles for a loss, plus two passes defensed across 12 games. As a rookie, Jamison-Travis figures to compete for a rotational role along New York's defensive line. Having posted just 1.0 sacks across his three years with Auburn, Jamison-Travis' production profile lacks much appeal in IDP formats.

Jackie Marshall DT | TEN
Titans' Jackie Marshall: Selected by Titans
The Titans selected Marshall in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 184th overall.
Marshall is a gap-splitting defensive tackle out of Baylor who is undersized (6-foot-3, 293 pounds) to the point that he might mostly play in passing-down situations. What makes Marshall interesting is his burst off the line. Though he might be light, Marshall's 4.88-second 40 is still very fast for his size.

Karson Sharar LB | ARI
Cardinals' Karson Sharar: Joins Cardinals
The Cardinals selected Sharar in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 183rd overall.
Sharar finally won a starting job at weakside linebacker in his fifth year at Iowa, recording 83 tackles, 12.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks through 13 games. The 23-year-old has average size (6-foot-2, 231 pounds) but features impressive athleticism (4.56 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical, 123-inch broad jump). Sharar probably won't be in the starting mix as a rookie because he still lacks experience, but he can contribute on special teams while developing his skills.

Taylen Green QB | CLE
Browns' Taylen Green: Picked by Cleveland
The Browns selected Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 182nd overall.
Green spent the first three years of his college career at Boise State before transferring to Arkansas in 2024, where he operated as a dual-threat quarterback for the Razorbacks. He finished his senior season completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 2,714 yards, 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while turning 139 carries into 777 yards and eight scores across 12 games. Green was a standout at the 2026 NFL Combine in February, with his 4.36-second 40-yard dash being the fastest among quarterbacks since Reggie McNeal in 2026. Green joins a Browns quarterback room that also consists of Deshaun Watson and 2025 selections Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. However, it's worth noting that Cleveland hired Todd Monken as the head coach, and Monken served as the Ravens' offensive coordinator from 2023 to 2025 with Lamar Jackson as the starting quarterback, which could help Green emerge from the rest of the pack.

Zane Durant DT | BUF
Bills' Zane Durant: Grabbed by Buffalo
The Bills selected Durant in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 181st overall.
Durant (6-foot-1, 290 pounds) is perhaps undersized as a defensive tackle, but he started the final three seasons of his four years at Penn State and impressed at the NFL Combine, with his 4.75-second 40-yard dash representing the fastest time at the position. As a rookie, he figures to compete for a rotational depth role along Buffalo's defensive front.
