Penn State QB Drew Allar (6052/228)
It seems like a lifetime ago Drew Allar was discussed as a possible first round quarterback. Those days seem long gone but Allar is at least fighting to put himself back in the conversation to be a possible top 100 selection and the third quarterback off the board. Allar, who is also recovering from a broken foot, looked solid in his throwing session. In particular, he looked mighty impressive with his deep ball accuracy and his willingness to push the ball downfield. He’s still very flawed but teams won’t forget the shining moments and oozing potential.
Evaluation: When you factor in the pedigree, experience, size and big arm of Allar, then weigh his most recent struggles and injury, it makes for one of the more polarizing player evaluations in this year’s draft. Despite playing in a run-first mentality approach on offense, the Ohio native was one of the more respected arms in all of college football due to his experience, awareness and durability. Operating a pro style offense, Allar is considered to be more of a traditional pocket-passer type who makes smart decisions with a 61:13 career touchdown-to-interception ratio. However, more strides are needed. A big criticism of Allar coming into the year was his lack of deep ball opportunities. While he showed much more willingness to take chances downfield in 2025, Penn State struggled mightily, losing all three of his final starts, which ultimately led to the firing of head coach James Franklin (recently named new head coach at Virginia Tech). While he has prototype size and can make all the throws, Allar will never reach his maximum potential until he gains the confidence needed to throw the ball downfield with more frequency. He did put on quite a show at the combine when it came to deep ball accuracy in a pair of gym shorts and t-shirt but savvy evaluators know the book is out and under duress causes major issues. Still, there is plenty of allure surrounding Allar within the scouting community and he could be chosen higher than what his true grade validates but there is big time potential, if he can ever put it all together.
Background: Suffered a season-ending broken left ankle in October of 2025 against Northwestern, missing the final seven games of the season–made a full recovery in time to participate in the Combine. One of the most decorated quarterbacks in Nittany Lions history, Allar wrapped up his collegiate career appearing in 45 games (35 starts). Ranks first all-time at Penn State in completion percentage (62.9) and interception percentage (1.19), finished fourth all-time with 7,402 passing yards and third all-time with 61 touchdown passes. Since 1956, joins Bryce Petty (Baylor, 2011-14) as the only FBS quarterbacks with 800+ career pass attempts, 50+ touchdown passes and 10 or less interceptions. Opened his collegiate career with 311 passing attempts without an interception, an FBS record, bettering Baylor’s Robert Griffin III’s 209 attempts in 2008. Majored in recreation, park and tourism management. A four-star recruit and Ohio Mr. Football Award Winner (2021) out of Medina High School; also played basketball and baseball at Medina and was named to the Merit Roll every semester. The son of Kevin and Dawn Allar, as a sister, Ryann. Father, Kevin, played football at Eastern Michigan as a tight end from 1992-97.
Stats: Started six games in 2025, completed 103-of-159 passes (63.2%)), for 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns, three interceptions, 183.3 rating; rushed 36 times, for 172 yards and one score. In 45 career games, completed 633-of-1,002 passes (63.2%), for 7,402 yards, 61 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 164.5 rating; rushed 224 times, for 732 yards, 12 scores.
Georgia TE Oscar Delp (6050/245)
Similar to the QB3 discussion, there’s a wide open space for the second tight end off the board. One of the players who deserves to be that dude is Oscar Delp, who is among the top athletes at tight end in this class. After not testing at the combine due to a hairline fracture discovered in his foot during medical examination, Delp ran a 4.48 forty-yard dash and tacked on a 38-inch vertical jump and 10-foot broad jump. Overall, Delp has the film and testing of a potential top 50 prospect.
Evaluation: The most experienced tight end in the room, Delp played alongside Brock Bowers (Raiders) during his first two seasons in Athens. He possesses superb play-speed, considering his large size and frame. A dominant run blocker, Delp fires off the ball sturdy, while his physicality is unmatched, especially when it comes to moving defenders off the ball with his hands inside on base blocks, down blocks and double teams. Additionally, Delp provides relentless effort when pushing the pile to gain extra yardage for ball-carriers. On zone schemes, he takes a strong track to the second level while maintaining a firm grip, highlighting his ability to pull effectively. In the passing game, Delp is a polished route runner with a knack for exploiting soft spots in zone coverage. However, he needs to refine his ability to adjust his catch radius, especially in heavy traffic. Increasing his targets in the passing game would take better advantage of his speed mismatch, making Delp an intriguing pro prospect.
Background: Appeared in 55 games during his five years in Athens, starting parts of three seasons. A four-star recruit out of West Forsyth High School; top tight end prospect in the country and fourth-ranked prospect in Georgia. A sport management major who is the recipient of the Green-Sands Scholarship and the James Harold Shepherd Jr. Memorial Scholarship.
Stats: Played 14 games in 2025, had 20 catches, 261 yards (13.1 average), one touchdown. In 55 career games, had 70 catches, 854 yards (15.5 average), nine touchdowns.
LSU CB Mansoor Delane (5116/187)
As we wait for Jermod McCoy to take the field for his pro day next week, Mansoor Delane has put the NFL on notice that he ought to be the first cornerback off the board. Running a sub 4.4 forty-yard dash answered one of his biggest questions, in terms of his vertical speed and athleticism. That, combined with the impressive mirroring and footwork all over his tape, plus versatility to play man or zone, makes him a likely top 10 pick this April.
Evaluation: The highly talented Delane has been a shutdown corner since his dys at Virginia Tech, where he garnered a reputation for playing suffocating coverage. Despite his stellar performance for the Hokies, he was rarely discussed when top players at his position were discussed. Hence, he took his talents to ‘DB-U,’ in order to be recognized on the main stage that is the SEC. The Maryland native came up aces this past season in Baton Rouge, demonstrating elite level instincts and versatility in a Swiss Army knife role for the Tigers defense. On any given Saturday, Delane could be seen lining up on the boundary, in the slot, or at safety, depending on what the scheme required. That type of flexibility should enable him to transition smoothly to the next level in either a man, or zone scheme. Despite his lack of prototypical size, Delane has been very impressive matching up against receivers of all sizes. He’s unquestionably a high-motor competitor who constantly disrupts plays with fearless physicality, unafraid to engage larger receivers and demonstrates the ability to high-point intended passes for breakups, or interceptions. He also demonstrates sharp field awareness, utilizing the boundary to gain leverage in coverage. Due to his natural instincts, along with superb start-and-stop ability, Delane is able to mirror routes at all levels. In addition, he displays above-average hip explosion on transitions, closing quickly on the ball. Delane is able to leverage his high football IQ and instincts to anticipate quarterback reads, reacting decisively to attack both passer and ball-carrier. Despite an undersized frame, the he employs sound technique and body positioning to disrupt passing lanes effectively, compensating for his lack of strength. However, he does tend to get a bit grabby at times. Overall, hIs footwork, fluid hips, reaction skills and versatility makes the tenacious Delane an immediate impact player with All Pro potential.
Background: Appeared in 44 career games (40 starts); started 11 games at LSU (2025) and 33 games (29 starts) in three seasons at Virginia Tech (2022-24). Played through a core muscle injury for much of the 2025 season. Named unanimous All-American and All-SEC First Team (2025); All-ACC Third Team (2024); All-ACC Honorable Mention. A three-star recruit out of Archbishop Spalding, where he also wrestled. The older brother of four-star safety Faheem Delane who signed with Ohio State.
Stats: Played 11 games in 2025, had 45 tackles, 11 pass deflections, two interceptions. In 44 career games, had 191 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four coerced fumbles, one fumble recovery, 27 pass deflections, eight interceptions.
Miami DB Keionte Scott (5112/193)
Another defensive back who tested remarkably well, Scott was considered to be a solid athlete but few had him pegged as a low 4.3-speed type of player. That time, along with a 44-inch vertical jump will definitely play at the next level. Overall, Scott has the tape of a top 50 selection and it will now be hard to imagine that he gets out of the first round as an ideal nickel corner prospect.
Evaluation: An explosive, jack-of-all-trades with a hot motor and a nose for the ball, Scott needs to be more consistent in his pursuit away from the ball. He possesses elite speed, which he uses to be a glue in man coverage. Scott has fluid change of direction, loose hips and superb lateral movement, which unlock his elite read-and-react ability. Scott is highly instinctive and intelligent, diagnosing reads and closing with explosive speed to make plays using his ball skills, as showcased in the CFP matchup against Ohio State on the pick-six. Scott is the type of defensive back who isn’t afraid to lay down the lumber with his heavy-hitting style when making tackles. Therefore, he needs to take a more consistent tackling angle, as he tends to whiff at times. Scott has top-notch blitzing ability. However, he needs to use his hands more efficiently, as he relies solely on finesse moves in his outside counters. Additionally, he needs to show more fight in block destruction, as he tends to be stagnant in hand combat when shedding blocks. His versatility, lining up at safety, corner, slot defender and outside linebacker, is an NFL defensive coordinator’s dream as long as Scott ends up in the right system.
Background: A double transfer from Auburn via Snow College, where he started 32 of 52 games. He missed three games in 2023 at Auburn due to a high ankle sprain that required tightrope surgery. In 2024, he missed one game after tweaking his ankle in practice. He missed the final three games of the 2025 regular season with a right foot injury. A zero-star recruit from Helix High School.
Stats: Played 14 games in 2025, had 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, five pass deflections, two interceptions, two touchdowns. In 47 career games, made 179 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, six sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 14 pass deflections, three interceptions, two touchdowns.
Clemson RB Adam Randall (6033/232)
The former wide receiver has quietly put together a really strong draft process. After a nice Senior Bowl week, Randall tested well with a 37-inch vertical jump and 26 bench reps of 225 pounds. He also looked smooth showing off his receiving skills at his pro day, which pairs nicely with the strides he made as a runner throughout the season at Clemson.
Evaluation: A big-bodied, dual-threat power back, Randall switched from wideout to running back prior to the 2025 campaign. It resulted in newfound success, as he emerged as the lead back for the Tigers, demonstrating a physical running style. His size and flexibility are two of his best attributes, as he carries his weight very well, demonstrating good knee bend, enabling him to absorb contact and create mismatches. The Myrtle Beach native is an effective between the tackles runner, staying patient, utilizing keen vision to let blocks develop and explode through holes downhill. He possesses excellent contact balance to power through arm tackles. In addition, Randall displays the power after contact to churn for extra yardage. He excels out of the backfield as a pass-catcher, making him a dangerous weapon on screens and check-downs. Randall understands routes and concepts due to his receiver background. He has a high motor and never gives up on plays. However, he is still developing the ability to make lateral cuts/movements and is more of an effective north-south runner at this stage. While Randall flashes functional long speed and burst, he isn’t very twitchy and lacks home-run speed. His high center of gravity makes him vulnerable to ankle tackles. Randall is still new to the position, so he is still developing his overall feel as a ball-carrier. He also still needs to develop his pass protection skills. Overall, Randall is a player with a very raw skill-set, tremendous run power and instincts, plus will only get better from this point forward. That makes him a sound Day 3 commodity.
Background: Voted permanent team captain in 2025. His off-field work in the community is a big part of who he is which has led him to receive AFCA Good Works Team recognition and be a Wuerffel Trophy semifinalist and Pop Warner finalist. Participated in P.A.W. Journey’s service trip to South Africa in spring 2024. A four-star recruit and Under Armour All-American out of Myrtle Beach high school where he won a state championship. He also ran track and was ranked as No. 17 “Freak Athlete” in the country. Earned his bachelor’s in management in December 2024 and a master’s degree in athletic leadership in December 2025.
Stats: Played 13 games in 2025, had 168 carries, 814 yards (4.8 average), 10 touchdowns; caught 36 balls, 254 yards (7.1 average), three touchdowns. In 50 career games, had 172 carries, 858 yards (5.0 average), 10 touchdowns; 84 catches, 787 yards (9.4 average), five touchdowns.
Navy IDL Landon Robinson (5112/291)
Arguably one of the best athletes in this entire draft class, it was a bit of a bummer that Robinson didn’t get a combine invite. His pro day was his chance to show NFL scouts how athletically gifted he was and he did not disappoint. A 4.91 forty-yard dash (1.65 ten-yard split) and 7.28 three-cone time are just some of his outstanding numbers. He likely doesn’t get picked until Day 3 due to his lack of size but he’s a fun player definitely deserving of a training camp opportunity.
Evaluation: Receiving three-time recognition on the ‘Freaks List,’ Robinson consistently plays bigger than his size in multiple ways. The highly athletic freakazoid from Navy channels elite weight-room numbers (665-pound squat, 465-pound bench) and work ethic into field disruption, altering opposing offensive game plans. His size is quite underestimating, solely a one-gap prospect (occasional three-tech stems), as Robisnon overcomes short arms with twitchy burst, instant power and anchors at point-of-attack. His high-end motor creates penetration via stunts; smooth, athletic mover. There is zize vulnerability of being washed and he tends to struggle to recover due to his underwhelming frame. Originally recruited as an outside linebacker, Robinson is one of a few defensive linemen on kickoff duties in 2023 and has three career rushing attempts for 87 yards, highlighted by a fake punt run to seal the win against Army in 2024. A rare athletic speciman, a smart NFL team will figure out how to make usage of this outlier at the next level.
Background: One of the Naval Academy’s top athletes (2022–2025), Robinson earned spots on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List in 2024 and 2025 (No. 13 in 2025). A two-year starter and cocaptain, he was named 2025 American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year and earned two-time First-Team All-AAC honors while majoring in Cyber Operations. Before Annapolis, he attended the Naval Academy Prep School after graduating from Copley High School, where he was a multi-sport athlete (football, baseball, track & field, wrestling). The son of Lance (former Kent State gymnast) and Patrice Robinson.
