Stowers, who won the Mackey Award in 2025 after catching 62 balls for 769 yards and four touchdowns at Vanderbilt, has gained a little bit of steam ahead of the 2026 draft. He’s widely expected to be the second tight end off the draft board after Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq. Evan Engram’s role in the Denver offense would become an uncertain one if the Broncos invest significant draft capital in Stowers, whose statistical and efficiency profiles are far superior to the hyper-athletic Sadiq. Stower ...14 April 2026
Wicks should slot in as the Eagles WR behind DeVonta Smith, Kempski said, because the former Packer is “younger, the Eagles invested more in him than they did in [Marquise] Brown, he is under contract for two years vs. one for Brown, and he seemingly already has the trust of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.” The Eagles acquired Wicks from Green Bay this month in exchange for a 2026 fifth round draft pick and a 2027 sixth rounder. He had 108 receptions, 1,328 yards, and 11 touchdowns over ...14 April 2026
Smith’s backers “believe that if Brown were no longer with the team that Smith can have a similar jump in production that Jaxon Smith-Njigba had in Seattle once DK Metcalf was out of the way.” Smith NJigba, following an ordainry 2024 rookie campaign, blew up in 2025 to the tune of 1,992 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, with an elite 3.42 yards per route run, trailing only Puka Nacua. Brown is almost certain to exit Philadelphia in the coming weeks after a tumultuous 2025 season. That would ...14 April 2026
As the NFL Network ran clips of Lemon, Ohio State WR Carnell Tate and Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson, Rapoport said he expects there to be two wide receivers drafted during the 2026 NFL Draft’s first 15 picks. He then said that the picks 16-18 range is a “good spot” for Lemon. Presumably, Rapoport believes Tate and Tyson will be drafted ahead of him. While teams can, of course, swap picks, the Jets, Lions and Vikings currently hold picks 16,17 and 18, respectively. Rapoport’s colleague Ca ...

Per Wolfe, the Titans could also target a pass rusher with the No. 4 overall pick. He adds that multiple teams list Love as the best player in the 2026 NFL Draft. Many would argue that spending a top-five pick on a running back is an improper use of resources for a rebuilding team, but the Titans’ front office could simply view him as a foundational player.14 April 2026
Per Rapoport, “NFL evaluators and coaches really, really like” Price, though Notre Dame’s 2025 backup should not be viewed as the “consensus” RB2 at this time. Rapoport adds that it is possible a team will choose to draft Price at the end of the first round, but being drafted in the second round is “probably the sweet spot” for him. Price missed his 2022 freshman season after rupturing his left Achilles tendon during a summer workout. He played a minor role in 2023 before becoming ...14 April 2026
Per Archer, the marijuana possession charge is a misdemeanor offense, but the controlled substance charge is a felony. The NFL will likely wait out the legal process before stepping in with a potential suspension. Bell appeared in all 17 games for the Cowboys last year, primarily as a backup. He is currently in the second year of the three-year contract he signed last offseason.13 April 2026
Dell continues to rehab from a gruesome knee injury he suffered in Week 16 of the 2024 season. That injury caused him to miss all of 2025, and while there’s hope he will be ready for Week 1 this season, the Texans continue to take it “day to day,” per Caserio. Caserio added that Dell has been in the building more now that he’s able to do more on his knee, which is an optimistic sign, but he also noted that the team will be open to taking a receiver in this year’s draft if there’s a p ...13 April 2026
Sample was a fourth-round pick of the Bengals back in 2021 and has appeared in 61 games since joining the team. Playing primarily as a pass-rusher, Sample has totaled seven sacks in his career and 66 pressures, per PFF. He’ll likely serve in a similar situational role with the Niners this upcoming season.13 April 2026
Speaking during the Lions’ pre-draft press conference, Holmes said the Lions have not exercised the options for Gibbs or LB Jack Campbell, who also has a fifth-year option the team needs to decide on. Both Gibbs and Campbell are safe bets to have their options picked up, which would keep them under contract through 2027. While Gibbs emerged as one of the top backs in the league and totaled 1,800-plus yards from scrimmage in each of the last two seasons, Campbell earned First-team All-Pro honor ...13 April 2026
Reader visited with the Ravens last week and is now meeting with the Giants. The veteran lineman has spent the last two seasons with the Lions, totaling 51 tackles, three sacks, and four TFLs while starting all 32 games he appeared in.13 April 2026
When asked about the possibility of the Patriots acquiring A.J. Brown, Wolf opted to go with the broad answer while refusing to shut the door on the idea of a trade eventually being worked out with the Eagles. The Patriots remain the team most likely to acquire Brown at some point in the offseason, but talks have stalled as of late. There’s some belief that Brown will ultimately be dealt to the Patriots in June, when the salary-cap situation becomes more tenable for the Eagles to consider such ...13 April 2026
Allen, 33, spent last season with the Titans and has previous stops with the Broncos, Bengals, and 49ers. The former sixth-round pick has seen little action since 2020, when he threw for 925-5-4 in five games with the Bengals and attempted just 30 passes for the Titans last season, throwing for 72 yards and a pick. If he were to make the 53-man roster, Allen would likely serve as the Giants’ QB3, with Jameis Winston the presumed backup to Jaxson Dart this upcoming season.13 April 2026

With Tyreek Hill a free agent and Jaylen Waddle now in Denver, few teams find themselves in more need at receiver than the Dolphins. If the season were to start today, Miami would be rolling with the trio of Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and Malik Washington, who combined for 70-712-5, as their top options. Lemon, who has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, profiles primarily as a slot receiver after playing 75.6 percent of his career snaps from the slot in college. He would provide an immedia ...13 April 2026
The Read Optional’s Oliver Connolly broke the tragic news. Bain was cited for careless driving following a March 2024 collision. Four passengers were in his vehicle, two of whom were transported to the hospital. One passenger, Destiny Betts, entered a coma and passed away three months later. Bain’s charge was dropped approximately two weeks before Betts’ death. Betts’ family could still file a civil suit, though the family reportedly wishes Bain the best in his life and career. Per Conno ...13 April 2026
NBC Sports Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that today’s visit did not result in an “immediate” signing, but a deal “could be revisited later.” Dang. Green, 25, has not played since the 2024 season. He will likely sign with a new team at some point this offseason.13 April 2026
A nine-year vet of the league who rose to stardom after going undrafted in 2017, Moore has totaled 649 tackles, 21 interceptions, and 68 pass breakups during his time with the Colts and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2021. The soon-to-be 31-year-old corner is a premier slot corner and played 578 of his 715 defensive snaps in the slot last season, per PFF. Moore started seven of the 14 games he appeared in last season and notched one interception, and is entering the final season of his contract. With ...13 April 2026
This isn’t the first time it has been reported that Hunter will serve primarily as a corner in 2026. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported similar back in February, but Hunter is still expected to have a minor role on offense. The Jaguars are three deep at receiver with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Jakobi Meyers all on the roster. The decision to move Hunter to corner, where he allowed just nine catches on 15 targets while appearing on 120 coverage snaps, addresses a more pressing ...13 April 2026
Cooper, 22, continues to make the rounds this pre-draft cycle with the draft just over two weeks away. The versatile, do-it-all receiver who has drawn comparisons to Deebo Samuel is viewed as a fringe first-round prospect and could immediately step in to help whatever team drafts him. Cooper was a full-time slot receiver in 2025 with the Hoosiers, but can work on the outside, and would pair well opposite Chris Olave and would face little competition from incumbent receivers for snaps. Cooper cau ...
