The Saints selected Wright in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.

Wright worked on both the offensive and defensive lines during his six-year college career at Auburn before settling as the team's starter at right guard in 2024 and 2025. He has the strength to overpower opposing defenders and anchor an offensive line, but he'll need to work on his technique and skill to keep up with NFL-level defenses. Wright figures to work in a reserve role at guard behind Cesar Ruiz and David Edwards, with veteran Dillon Radunz also in the mix.

The Panthers selected Lee in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 129th overall.

Lee (6-foot-2, 189 pounds) is a bit light and might have below-average speed for a starting corner (4.52-second 40), but he has excellent reach for press coverage (32 and 3/4-inch arms) and stood out as starter for Texas A&M the last two years. Lee had to work his way up from Iowa Western Community College (2021-22) and Kansas State (2023) before that, holding serve with each jump in competition. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is one of the best defensive backs coaches in the league, so Lee landed in a good spot.

The Bengals selected Lew (knee) in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 128th overall.

Lew broke into the starting lineup as a true freshman at Auburn in 2023 and started the final 25 games of his college career before tearing his left ACL in 2025. The injury certainly affected his draft stock to some degree because he couldn't participate in athletic testing, but he's expected to be ready for training camp. Lew is on track to serve as the backup center in 2026 behind Ted Karras, a 33-year-old who has started every game over the past four years but has just one year left on his contract.

The Bills selected Elarms-Orr in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 126th overall.

Elarms-Orr (6-foot-2, 234 pounds) spent the first three years of his collegiate career at Cal, where he emerged as a starter in 2023 before transferring to TCU. He contributed in a rotational role for the Horned Frogs in 2024 before breaking out with a team-high 130 tackles across 13 games in 2025, including 11 tackles for a loss and 4.0 sacks (both also team-best marks), plus two passes defensed. Elarms-Orr will have time to develop behind starting inside linebackers Dorian Williams (neck) and Terrel Bernard (calf) in Buffalo, and his speed of play (4.47 40-yard dash) should provide him a fair rotational floor as well as the upside to potentially develop into a true playmaker.

The 49ers selected Willis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 127th overall.

Willis served at right tackle in each of his first five college seasons with Kansas State before moving to the left side of the offensive line in 2025 with Washington. The move was a good one for both the Huskies and Willis, the latter of whom was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention despite missing three games due to a left knee injury. Willis excelled in the run game with his ability to seal and finish blocks, but whether he sees meaningful playing time in the NFL will depend on whether he can develop as a capable pass protector. He gives the Niners depth at offensive tackle behind Colton McKivitz and Trent Williams, the latter of whom is entering his age-38 season.

The Bills drafted Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 125th overall.

Bell jumped up draft boards as a senior, compiling 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns for UConn while leading FBS with seven 100-yard receiving efforts. He sports adequate size at 6-foot, 192 pounds, and he has an above-average ability to get open, but he's struggled with drops throughout his college career, amassing 24 over his four years as a regular contributor. He joins a Buffalo wideout room that has already added talent this offseason by trading for wideout DJ Moore from the Bears, but the club stood pat at wideout in the draft until Bell. Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer (ankle) and Keon Coleman all remain on the roster for Buffalo heading into 2026, so Bell may be hard-pressed to earn regular snaps and will likely be primarily relegated to a special-teams role as a rookie. That said, the Bills' receiving unit hasn't been among the better rooms in recent seasons, so there could be room for him to etch out a role in the future if Bell impresses the coaching staff.

The Bears selected Muhammad in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 124th overall.

Muhammad (6-feet, 182 pounds) is perhaps on the smaller side for a boundary corner, but the former Texas standout has good reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms) for press purposes and his 4.42-second 40 demonstrates enough recovery speed to buy the idea of Muhammad starting down the road. He might be able to put some heat on Tyrique Stevenson for the second boundary corner role behind Jaylon Johnson as soon as this year.

The Texans selected Woodaz in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 123rd overall.

Woodaz was a versatile player at Clemson, serving as an inside and outside linebacker while also chipping in at the nickel corner position. He has sideline-to-sideline speed with a 4.56 40-yard dash at his pro day, and he was trustworthy in coverage as a senior. Still, Woodaz needs to develop more patience and a better ability to diagnose plays before he's ready to be a full-time starter. The 22-year-old should be an impressive special-teams asset until that time comes.

The Raiders selected Washington in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 122nd overall.

Washington saw limited opportunities at Buffalo and New Mexico State, but he burst onto the scene during his fifth and final year in college at Arkansas. He was named to the All-SEC Second-Team in 2025 after turning 167 carries into 1,070 yards (6.40 YPC) and eight touchdowns while adding 28 catches for 226 yards and a score across 12 games. Washington is a big back with a 6-foot-1, 223-pound frame that he used to full effect as a punishing, downhill runner, which should lead to a fair amount of touches on early downs. Ashton Jeanty is still the lead back for the Raiders, but Washington seemingly brings the thunder to the team's backfield that complements the lightning of Jeanty.

The Packers selected Dennis-Sutton in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 120th overall.

Dennis-Sutton boasts a production-filled career in his time at Penn State, compiling 42 tackles and 8.0 sacks in each of his last two seasons with the Nittany Lions. He backed that up with impressive numbers in the jumps, three-cone drills and the 40-yard dash, ranking in the 85th-plus percentile in each category. He'll need to hone his craft at the next level and doesn't sport the same level of explosiveness as some of the elite pass rushers, but he boasts adequate hand size and arm length to get on opposing offensive linemen. Dennis-Sutton will join fellow former Nittany Lion Micah Parsons as Green Bay adds depth in the pass-rushing room after trading away Rashan Gary during the offseason and getting lackluster production out of 2023 first-round pick Lukas Van Ness to date.
