Daniel Jeremiah's final top 150

Daniel Jeremiah's top 150 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class

With the 2026 NFL Draft set to kick off on Thursday, Daniel Jeremiah reveals his final prospect rankings for this year's class. Which players are making a late push up the charts? Check out DJ's Big Board, from No. 1 to No. 150.

26. Mesidor
27. TJ Parker
28. Cashius Howell
31. Iheanachor
40. Malachi Lawrence
47. Keylan Rutledge
48. Treydan Stukes
61. Gabe Jacas (Hmmm.)
62. De'Zhaun Stribling
67. Keyron Crawford
71. Oscar Delp (abandon hope anyone who wants him at 95)
93. Travis Burke
115. Justin Jefferson (that's about as high as I've seen him).
148. jordan Van Den Berg (About as high as I've seen him).

No Zakee Wheatley in his top 150.

If Jacas is there at 60 and you’ve drafted a OT at 31, do you move up for him?

 

[manxman2601]

If Jacas is there at 60 and you’ve drafted a OT at 31, do you move up for him?

I suppose it depends on how close you have Jacas, Crawford, DDS and Moore on your board. I'd be tempted to personally. A 5th or the first 6th would get you up to 59/60.

I hate to trade a 6th. Last year the Pats traded down more than up which was OK with me. Which will be the best NFL player, Jacas, Crawford, DDS, or Moore? I don't think anyone knows.

Thanks. Day 3 could be fun.

Some surprising values in the 4th.

Cyrus Allen - 110 (wouldn't even make it to our 4th)
Cole Payton - 122 (Ditto. I know some like him as our QB3)
Jalen Huskey - 128 (Brugler had him going with the 2nd to last pick in the draft)
Bishop Fitzgerald - 130 (ranked 1 place ahead of safety teammate Kamari Ramsey)

I would Love Cole Payton as our QB3... Got some Taysom Hill flexibility to his game too, so he could also be our TE3/4 and our RB4... Dude could also teach Ebb how to play the QB position in cold weather...

I agree that the high rankings for the other players are way, Way off...

Thanks. Day 3 could be fun.

Might as well stick a pin in

Unfortunately I have Senior Softball in the morning and driving to my granddaughter's birthday in the afternoon, so I will miss Day 3. I really would have liked tracking Day 3 live.

It takes a long time, but it's close with day 2 as my favourite day. Day 3 has the added benefit of the post draft UDFA period.

 

[DaBruinz]

I'm going to miss most of Day 2 and Day 3 as I'll be with family in Tampa..

So it turns out DaBruinz was Vrabes all along. I mean coincidence? I think not.



Have a fun trip.

WHAT!!!

 

[manxman2601]

I see DJ has Stukes going 29 to the Chiefs, Lawrence all the way up at 20 and Blake Miller at 21.

Also, he has the Cards trading up to the Bills pick. There'll be a lot of teams angling for that pick I suspect if they all see 25-50 being similar guys.
