PFM Top 75
PFM Rank is the Top 75 order. Consensus is the median of the current outside rankings available for each prospect. “Limited” means only one current outside ranking is available for that player.
| Rank | Prospect | Pos. | School | Consensus | PFM vs. consensus | Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jeremiah SmithSmith has 48 catches for 916 yards and 11 touchdowns through Ohio State's first six games. Maryland limited him to four receptions, but he turned them into 93 yards and two scores. He remains the strongest receiving prospect on PFM's board. | WR | Ohio State | 1.02 inputs | 0 | – |
| 2 | Leonard MooreMoore entered Notre Dame's Stanford game with a concussion and did not play. The injury interrupts his 2026 coverage evaluation, but it does not erase the traits behind PFM's No. 2 ranking. | CB | Notre Dame | 3.02 inputs | +1.0 | – |
| 3 | Colin SimmonsSimmons recorded 10.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss through Texas' game against Florida, leading the nation in both. He then suffered a reported high-ankle sprain; an MRI reportedly showed no structural damage. The recovery bears watching, but his sustained pass-rush production keeps him at No. 3. | EDGE | Texas | 2.02 inputs | -1.0 | – |
| 4 | Dylan StewartStewart returned against Florida with two forced fumbles following earlier missed time and a suspension. That impact helps his evaluation, while a fuller stretch of uninterrupted 2026 snaps remains important. | EDGE | South Carolina | 9.52 inputs | +5.5 | – |
| 5 | Trevor GoosbyGoosby's first five games included 186 pass-blocking snaps, seven pressures and no sacks allowed. The Texas left tackle has shown the footwork and protection consistency to stay near the top of a draft class that needs reliable offensive line prospects. | OT | Texas | 7.02 inputs | +2.0 | Up 3Goosby allowed only seven pressures and no sacks across his first five games, earning one of the best left tackle pass-blocking grades in the country. |
| 6 | Dante MooreMoore remained out against Nebraska on October 17 while recovering from the concussion suffered at USC in September. His early-season passing accuracy and arm talent remain top-of-class traits, but his health and return to full game action need verification before a ranking change. | QB | Oregon | 15.52 inputs | +9.5 | – |
| 7 | Cam ColemanColeman produced 110 receiving yards against Oklahoma on October 10. The performance strengthens his current receiving case while PFM continues to evaluate how consistently he creates opportunities against stronger cornerbacks. | WR | Texas | 8.52 inputs | +1.5 | – |
| 8 | Arch ManningManning threw for 173 yards and a touchdown in Texas' loss to Florida, but a fourth-quarter strip-sack ended the comeback chance. His recent pocket decisions have not matched his physical ability, and PFM is lowering him without abandoning his long-term starting-quarterback upside. | QB | Texas | 5.02 inputs | -3.0 | Down 3Two consecutive difficult SEC outings exposed repeated problems handling pressure, including the late strip-sack against Florida and three turnover-worthy plays in that game. |
| 9 | Jordan SeatonSeaton has continued LSU's left-tackle assignment in 2026. His pass protection remains the stronger part of his draft case, with run-blocking power and recovery against counters the areas to examine in this year's tape. | OT | LSU | 9.52 inputs | +0.5 | – |
| 10 | Ellis Robinson IV | CB | Georgia | 10.52 inputs | +0.5 | – |
| 11 | A'Mauri Washington | DT | Oregon | 17.02 inputs | +6.0 | – |
| 12 | Jadan BaughBaugh was held to 13 rushing yards at Missouri and 59 against South Carolina after back-to-back games of more than 140 yards. His early 2026 production remains a strength, but the recent struggles demand a closer look at what the blocking offered. | RB | Florida | 14.02 inputs | +2.0 | – |
| 13 | K.J. BoldenBolden finished Georgia's win at Alabama with seven tackles, a half sack and a pass breakup. He continues to affect plays near the line while his coverage responsibilities remain an important part of the safety evaluation. | S | Georgia | 10.52 inputs | -2.5 | – |
| 14 | Charlie BeckerBecker caught nine passes for 165 yards against Ohio State, repeatedly winning at the catch point against a top Big Ten defense. His size and reliable hands now have a fresh high-level test behind them; the remaining question is how much he can create after the catch. | WR | Indiana | 7.52 inputs | -6.5 | Up 2Becker caught nine passes for 165 yards against Ohio State, continuing a run of strong contested catches against high-level Big Ten coverage. |
| 15 | Will EcholesEcholes has 13 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and one sack through Week 6 for Ole Miss. His three tackles for loss against LSU are the clearest early 2026 backfield result; more consistent interior pressure is the next test. | DT | Ole Miss | 13.52 inputs | -1.5 | – |
| 16 | David StoneStone has 22 tackles, two tackles for loss and half a sack through six games. He did not record a tackle for loss against Georgia, Texas or Kentucky. The interior power is still worth a high grade, but PFM needs more consistent backfield disruption to keep him above emerging playmakers. | DT | Oklahoma | 26.52 inputs | +10.5 | Down 2Stone has gone three consecutive games against Georgia, Texas and Kentucky without a tackle for loss and has only half a sack this season. |
| 17 | Yhonzae PierrePierre earned an 89.5 PFF run-defense grade against Georgia, while his 69.6 pass-rush grade leaves a clearer question about down-to-down impact rushing the quarterback. Both sides of his 2026 evaluation matter. | EDGE | Alabama | 23.02 inputs | +6.0 | – |
| 18 | Jamari JohnsonJohnson scored the winning touchdown against Nebraska and caught five passes for 35 yards. He has 17 receptions for 224 yards in four appearances this year. His receiving upside remains clear, but inconsistent blocking and limited volume since the USC game prevent a promotion. | TE | Oregon | 21.02 inputs | +3.0 | – |
| 19 | Drew MestemakerMestemaker passed for 365 yards and three touchdowns at Houston, his fifth consecutive 300-yard game. The 2026 Oklahoma State offense has translated his production from North Texas into tougher competition; turnovers under pressure remain the next area to judge. | QB | Oklahoma State | 24.02 inputs | +5.0 | Up 10Mestemaker threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns at ranked Houston, his fifth straight game above 300 passing yards after a strong run of recent efficiency. |
| 20 | Kelley JonesJones has broken up six passes in 2026, four of them against Missouri. His reach can disrupt throws at the catch point, but PFM's evaluation still hinges on whether he can stay in position on quicker routes. | CB | Mississippi State | 21.02 inputs | +1.0 | – |
| 21 | Trinidad ChamblissChambliss accounted for four touchdowns against Vanderbilt, three passing and one rushing. His ability to create offense in more than one way remains evident, with consistency against tougher passing defenses the next test. | QB | Ole Miss | 21.52 inputs | +0.5 | – |
| 22 | Ashton HamptonHampton has nine pass breakups and an interception through Clemson's first five games, with two breakups against Miami. The ball production supports his outside-corner projection while route transitions remain the harder test. | CB | Clemson | 18.52 inputs | -3.5 | – |
| 23 | Justin ScottScott has recorded 11 tackles and one tackle for loss through Miami's October 3 game. The 2026 box scores have not yet established consistent backfield disruption, so his first-step quickness still needs stronger current results. | DT | Miami | 34.02 inputs | +11.0 | – |
| 24 | Kewan LacyLacy carried 16 times for 122 yards against Missouri in his first full rushing workload after the shoulder injury. The burst through the first crease and ability to sustain carries against SEC fronts strengthen his NFL running back case. | RB | Ole Miss | 43.02 inputs | +19.0 | Up 3Lacy returned to a full workload after his shoulder problem and ran 16 times for 122 yards against ranked Missouri, showing the burst missing during his limited return. |
| 25 | Trevor Lauck | OT | Iowa | 30.52 inputs | +5.5 | – |
| 26 | Darian MensahMensah opened 2026 with 1,438 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and no interceptions in Miami's first five games. His decision-making and efficiency warrant close attention as PFM compares the quarterbacks ahead of him. | QB | Miami | 19.02 inputs | -7.0 | – |
| 27 | C.J. CarrCarr followed a strong early-October run with a 27-for-49, 261-yard game without a passing touchdown in Notre Dame's loss to BYU. His season-long ball security remains impressive, but the BYU game showed he still needs to create cleaner throws when opponents restrict easy completions. | QB | Notre Dame | 27.02 inputs | 0 | Down 3Carr completed 27 of 49 passes for 261 yards and no passing touchdowns against BYU, a setback in efficiency after his productive early-October stretch. |
| 28 | Trey'Dez GreenGreen missed LSU's October 10 game against Kentucky with a knee injury. His return remains uncertain, and PFM cannot evaluate new receiving or blocking work until he gets back on the field. | TE | LSU | 28.52 inputs | +0.5 | – |
| 29 | Julian SayinSayin threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns against Indiana, but the offense also paid for poor decisions and he left with a throwing-arm injury. He has six turnover-worthy plays in two games, and Ohio State expects to be without him for weeks. His accuracy remains valuable, but the projection needs more clean work under pressure. | QB | Ohio State | 37.02 inputs | +8.0 | Down 10Sayin committed six turnover-worthy plays over two games and injured his throwing arm against Indiana; Ryan Day expects him to miss at least several weeks. |
| 30 | Brauntae JohnsonJohnson has been sidelined since suffering a left-foot injury in Notre Dame's season opener and was ruled out again against Stanford. His return and healthy 2026 coverage snaps are central to evaluating his current draft standing. | S | Notre Dame | 28.52 inputs | -1.5 | – |
| 31 | Cayden GreenGreen has started at left tackle for Missouri in 2026. The team's early-October evaluation credited him with no sacks or quarterback hits allowed, giving his pass protection a stronger current-season basis than last year's reputation alone. | OT | Missouri | 40.52 inputs | +9.5 | – |
| 32 | Matayo UiagaleleiUiagalelei recorded two sacks and six tackles against UCLA on October 10. That performance gives his 2026 pass-rushing evaluation a fresh example of finishing pressure rather than simply threatening the pocket. | EDGE | Oregon | 28.02 inputs | -4.0 | – |
| 33 | Sammy BrownBrown recorded 40 tackles through Clemson's first five games, including seven against Miami. He can pursue plays across the front, but his passing-down coverage remains a separate part of the linebacker evaluation. | LB | Clemson | 46.02 inputs | +13.0 | – |
| 34 | Ryan Coleman-Williams | WR | Alabama | 50.02 inputs | +16.0 | – |
| 35 | Chris ColeCole delivered eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and two pass breakups at Alabama. His ability to disrupt both the run and passing game gives Georgia a versatile linebacker with current 2026 production behind the evaluation. | LB | Georgia | 22.02 inputs | -13.0 | – |
| 36 | A.J. Holmes Jr.Holmes has 2.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss through Texas Tech's first five games. His finish against Houston adds to the interior evaluation, but PFM still wants to see quicker individual wins against guards. | DT | Texas Tech | 42.02 inputs | +6.0 | – |
| 37 | Nick MarshMarsh followed a 187-yard, two-touchdown performance against Nebraska with three catches for 57 yards and a touchdown against Ohio State. The recent run reinforces his big-play value, though his rank stays put while his contested-catch work is evaluated across a longer stretch. | WR | Indiana | 33.52 inputs | -3.5 | – |
| 38 | Greg JohnsonJohnson has started at left guard and center for Minnesota in 2026. That versatility strengthens his interior line evaluation, while his ability to maintain protection calls at center deserves separate review. | IOL | Minnesota | 36.02 inputs | -2.0 | – |
| 39 | Ahmad HardyHardy has not played for Missouri in 2026 while recovering from a serious leg injury sustained in May. As of October 6, he had not returned to practice. His draft case still rests on his earlier rushing tape until he resumes football activities. | RB | Missouri | 55.02 inputs | +16.0 | – |
| 40 | Will HeldtHeldt recorded four sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss in Clemson's first five games, including consecutive two-sack performances earlier this season. His finishing ability is evident, with consistency against better tackles still worth studying. | EDGE | Clemson | 34.52 inputs | -5.5 | – |
| 41 | KJ DuffDuff had 33 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns through Rutgers' first five games. The production shows he can create long gains, but his full NFL receiving projection also depends on winning when defenses focus on him. | WR | Rutgers | 61.02 inputs | +20.0 | – |
| 42 | Ahmad Moten Sr. | DT | Miami | 30.52 inputs | -11.5 | – |
| 43 | Kade Pieper | IOL | Iowa | 28.52 inputs | -14.5 | – |
| 44 | Kyngstonn Viliamu-AsaViliamu-Asa was listed with a thumb injury on Notre Dame's Stanford-week availability report. His coverage and run fits remain the relevant scouting work when healthy; the report alone does not establish a longer absence. | LB | Notre Dame | 52.52 inputs | +8.5 | – |
| 45 | Carter Smith | OT | Indiana | 39.52 inputs | -5.5 | – |
| 46 | Kenyatta Jackson Jr.Jackson has three sacks through Ohio State's October 10 game. The strip-sack against Iowa shows his finishing ability; the next test is creating that opportunity consistently after a tackle absorbs the first move. | EDGE | Ohio State | 36.52 inputs | -9.5 | – |
| 47 | LaNorris SellersSellers threw for 279 yards and four touchdowns against Florida, adding a rushing score in South Carolina's win. That performance puts his passing growth back under the microscope without treating one big game as a complete turnaround. | QB | South Carolina | 48.02 inputs | +1.0 | – |
| 48 | Zabien BrownBrown had four passes defended across Alabama's first six games, including three against Florida State. His 2026 coverage work remains the best evidence for his cornerback value, not a comparison to another player's ranking. | CB | Alabama | 52.52 inputs | +4.5 | – |
| 49 | Austin Siereveld | IOL | Ohio State | 47.02 inputs | -2.0 | – |
| 50 | Damon Wilson IIWilson has 3.5 sacks for Miami through October 3, including 2.5 at Clemson. His edge burst is producing results, while holding his ground against the run remains an important part of his projection. | EDGE | Miami | 46.02 inputs | -4.0 | – |
| 51 | Sam LeavittLeavitt went 31-for-38 for 289 yards and four touchdown passes without an interception in LSU's 31-0 win against Mississippi State. The clean decisions and command of the passing game are meaningful improvement, although his earlier turnover problems are not erased by one start. | QB | LSU | 156.52 inputs | +105.5 | Up 9Leavitt completed 31 of 38 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns without an interception against ranked Mississippi State, his strongest SEC performance in weeks. |
| 52 | Ryan WingoWingo scored on a receiving touchdown against Oklahoma on October 10. That contribution adds to his current Texas tape, with his overall target load and ability to win without schemed space still important. | WR | Texas | 56.02 inputs | +4.0 | – |
| 53 | Melvin Siani | OT | Texas | 48.52 inputs | -4.5 | – |
| 54 | Reed HarrisHarris has 34 catches for 590 yards and seven touchdowns through Arizona State's October 10 game. He added eight catches, 91 yards and two scores against Hawaii, continuing a productive 2026 receiving season. | WR | Arizona State | 42.52 inputs | -11.5 | – |
| 55 | Jelani McDonald | S | Texas | 49.02 inputs | -6.0 | – |
| 56 | Clev LubinLubin has 3.5 sacks through Louisville's first five games, including a sack against Wake Forest and NC State. Those finishes broaden the 2026 pass-rush sample beyond his earlier breakout against SMU. | EDGE | Louisville | 55.52 inputs | -0.5 | – |
| 57 | Zach Lutmer | S | Iowa | 81.02 inputs | +24.0 | – |
| 58 | Vicari SwainSwain intercepted Florida quarterback Aaron Philo before halftime and returned the ball 21 yards to set up South Carolina. His timing on that play gives his 2026 cornerback evaluation a clear example of turning coverage into possession. | CB | South Carolina | 71.01 input | Limited | – |
| 59 | John Henry DaleyDaley recorded three sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss across Michigan's first four recorded games, including 1.5 sacks against Oklahoma. His transfer to Michigan is providing meaningful 2026 evidence against a different level of opposition. | EDGE | Michigan | 59.52 inputs | +0.5 | – |
| 60 | Jordan RossRoss had three sacks and seven pressures on only 26 pass-rushing snaps against Mississippi State. With eight sacks this season, he is finally converting his speed around the edge into sustained production, not just occasional flashes. | EDGE | LSU | 68.52 inputs | +8.5 | Up 8Ross produced three sacks and seven pressures against Mississippi State, bringing his season sack total to eight after entering 2026 with only two career sacks. |
| 61 | Devan ThompkinsThompkins registered a strong run-defense grade against Georgia, while the same PFF game sample was less impressive as a pass-rusher. PFM lists him inside, and his NFL projection should separate interior run work from snaps aligned wider. | DT | Alabama | 63.52 inputs | +2.5 | – |
| 62 | Quincy Rhodes Jr.Rhodes has two sacks in Arkansas' first five games after a much stronger 2025 finish. His size and first step remain useful, but PFM needs to see more regular wins against SEC pass protection this season. | EDGE | Arkansas | 57.02 inputs | -5.0 | – |
| 63 | Bryant Wesco Jr.Wesco's official Clemson record credits him with two catches for 29 yards at LSU in the 2026 opener. The next evaluation needs more current receiving work before treating his earlier production as proof of a complete return. | WR | Clemson | 70.52 inputs | +7.5 | – |
| 64 | Omarion MillerMiller has 31 receptions for 312 yards and two touchdowns through Arizona State's October 10 game. His six-catch, 78-yard performance against Hawaii adds to the 2026 sample, while consistency remains important. | WR | Arizona State | 56.02 inputs | -8.0 | – |
| 65 | Jacarrius Peak | OT | South Carolina | 64.02 inputs | -1.0 | – |
| 66 | Rasheem BilesBiles totaled 42 tackles and two interceptions through Texas' October 10 loss to Oklahoma. His 12 tackles and two tackles for loss in that game reinforce his ability to find the ball against a major conference opponent. | LB | Texas | 67.02 inputs | +1.0 | – |
| 67 | Christian AlliegroAlliegro has 20 tackles and two passes defended through Ohio State's first five games. Coverage and reliable tackling still matter more to his NFL projection than any assumed pass-rushing role. | LB | Ohio State | 89.02 inputs | +22.0 | – |
| 68 | Mario CraverCraver has 24 catches for 241 yards through six games, but only 16 receiving yards in his two October appearances. His quickness still makes him dangerous on designed touches; NFL scouts need more evidence he can regularly win downfield rather than relying on screens. | WR | Texas A&M | 64.52 inputs | -3.5 | Down 17Craver has only 16 receiving yards across two October games after a 50-yard three-game stretch, with recent touches mostly close to the line of scrimmage. |
| 69 | Boubacar TraoreTraore made a strip-sack and intercepted a pass in Notre Dame's win over Stanford. That combination of quarterback pressure and ball production gives his 2026 edge-rushing evaluation a concrete recent performance. | EDGE | Notre Dame | 53.02 inputs | -16.0 | – |
| 70 | Princewill Umanmielen | EDGE | LSU | 61.52 inputs | -8.5 | – |
| 71 | Brice PollockPollock intercepted two passes against Colorado, bringing his 2026 total to two through Week 6. His ability to finish a play at the ball is clear, and the next challenge is keeping his coverage assignment sound before the throw. | CB | Texas Tech | 99.02 inputs | +28.0 | – |
| 72 | O.J. Frederique Jr.Frederique has only one recorded solo tackle in Miami's available 2026 game log. That is not enough to judge his coverage workload or health. His next evaluation needs actual coverage snaps, not assumptions from the tackle total. | CB | Miami | 76.02 inputs | +4.0 | – |
| 73 | Jide Abasiri | DT | USC | 93.01 input | Limited | – |
| 74 | Iapani Laloulu | IOL | Oregon | 80.02 inputs | +6.0 | – |
| 75 | Koi PerichPerich recorded 11 tackles and intercepted a pass against UCLA on October 10. Oregon is his new home after transferring from Minnesota, and the 2026 production gives PFM a legitimate basis to include him in the Top 75. | S | Oregon | 80.02 inputs | +5.0 | – |
Where PFM Sees the Class Differently
A positive gap means PFM has the prospect higher than the current consensus. The gap shows where the rankings differ; the football case still determines PFM’s order.

How PFM Builds the NFL Draft Big Board
Compare the class across draft boards
PFM checks multiple current rankings to see where prospects are being valued across the draft market, rather than leaning on one outlet.
Keep PFM’s own order
Outside rankings provide context. PFM can rank a prospect higher or lower when the football case supports it.
Move prospects when the football case changes
New on-field evidence, a changed role, injury news, a return or broad movement across trusted boards can change the order. One headline or one outlet does not.
Track how the class changes
Each update keeps the prior board intact, so risers and fallers reflect real movement through the draft cycle instead of a rewritten ranking.
Big Board sources and review policy
PFM uses outside rankings to understand the draft market, then publishes its own Top 75. A ranking gap shows disagreement; it does not replace the football evaluation behind PFM’s order.
