Top 100 Here’s my first – and final – top 100.  As always, first a word on my process and then a quick overall summary of the 2026 NFL Draft class. My process this year wasn’t …

Final Top 100 just posted - once again entered into the Huddle Report's contest.

Stacking the Board – Off Ball Linebacker I’m a lot lower on this class than the consensus – so buckle up for this one! Overall Class Strength: Below Average Tier One CJ Allen – Georgia. Allen isn’t the best athlete…

Now working on my top 100.

Stacking the Board – Defensive Line This covers prospects who line up anywhere from 0 to 5 techniques. Back when the Patriots were winning the Super Bowl more often than not, they ran the Bud Wilkinson/Chuck Fairbanks/Bill Belichick …

Two more position groups - will publish the rest next weekend. Today, we've got:
D-Line: ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2026/04/06/s...
Edge: ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2026/04/06/s...

Stacking the Board – Offensive Tackle If your NFL team has a hole at left tackle – this is not your year. A number of these prospects might be pro guard, but I’ve left them here as they can always be moved inside if things …

Two for the price of one today:
Offensive Tackle: ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2026/03/29/s...
Interior Offensive Line: ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2026/03/29/s...

Stacking the Board – Tight End It will be interesting to see how many tight ends go in the top 100 this year. A lot of teams are going to be running two or three tight end sets and are going to be looking for people who can bloc…

Stacking the Board – Wide Receiver After thin classes at QB and RB – a really nice one! Lots of options with a variety of skill sets. As with previous articles, character and medical are not taken into account for this article…

A really deep WR group this year - although lacking elite talent. Lots of prospects featured in my rankings:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2026/03/15/s...
#NFLDraft

Stacking the Board – Running Back Last year, despite it being a stacked class, only six running backs went in the top 100 picks – so we can expect less this year in a class that isn’t anywhere near as good… Overal…

Not a great RB class this year - certainly miles short of last year. My rankings:

Stacking the Board – Quarterback The first in a position-by-position series to stack the board for potential top 150 2026 NFL Draft prospects. Apologies for the gap in posts. During the CFB playoffs, it’s the same players/te…

First article in a position-by-position look at #NFLDraft prospects. First up - a poor QB class...

NFL Draft Notes from Weeks Thirteen and Fourteen Kicking off with a second, and better, look at NC State HB/TE Justin Joly. Justin Joly – TE/HB – North Carolina State (vs Florida State). I watched Joly in the blowout loss to Miami and…

NFL Draft Notes from Weeks Eleven and Twelve Let’s kick off the week with a little MACtion! Emmanuel McNeil-Warren – S – Toledo (vs Northern Illinois and at Miami (Ohio)). Apparently nine NFL scouts were in attendance watchi…

#NFLDraft notes from weeks 11 and 12 just posted - getting to as many prospects as I can, highlighted by Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren this week:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Weeks Nine and Ten Week 9 saw very few ESPN games on DAZN, so I elected to put 2 weeks together. As my to watch list is shrinking, I’ll probably do this moving forward. Nico Iamaleava – QB – UCLA (a…

As my to watch list is getting small now, I combined Weeks 9 and 10 into one #NFLDraft prospects column:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Week Eight Another couple of Big Ten games this week now we have them! Jonah Coleman – RB – Washington (at Michigan). Coleman is a big back at 228 lbs. He’s not a burner – but he has e…

Week Eight #NFLDraft prospect notes column just posted - first look at Chris Bell Jr. (WR, Louisville), the 2 Notre Dame backs, some Penn State prospects and more:

NFL Draft Notes from Week Seven The big news in the UK this week was that DAZN reached an agreement to show Big Ten football. This week is therefore Big Ten heavy! I did have some playback issues with on demand games – so n…

#NFLDraft prospects article for week 7 just posted - Big Ten prospects heavy! Plus an exciting small school QB prospect - Harvard's Jaden Craig:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/10/14/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Week Six I have to be honest, I’m getting a little bored by the game choices on DAZN here in the UK – same teams = dull. It’s basically the SEC Network. No Big Ten is like trying to sell t…

Turned into a bumper week of #NFLDraft prospects as I managed to find some interesting games on YouTube, including some small schoolers:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/10/09/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Week Five There were some better matchups this week, so let’s get straight into it. Xavier Chaplin – OT – Auburn (at Texas A&M). On my first watch of Chaplin, I didn’t come away i…

Some decent matchups this week for my #NFLDraft prospects column - including from Idaho at Montana (thanks for showing it DAZN!):
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/10/01/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Week Three and Four As I watched fewer games in week three and two small schoolers I watched weren’t great, I made the decision not to write them up and combine the two week’s columns. That’s the bea…

I combined weeks 3 and 4 into one column - #NFLDraft notes just posted. Disappointed with a couple of big names - but really like Caleb Banks (DT, Florida).
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/09/21/n...

NFL Draft Notes from Week Two It wasn’t the greatest slate of games from an NFL Draft point of view, as it’s best to watch the best matchups. However, it was still a chance to get a first look at several prospects. …

Week two #NFLDraft prospects article just posted - more mainstream with the small school this week, focus on a slot WR!

NFL Draft Notes From Week 1 It wasn’t until between week 0 and week 1 that the UK got a TV deal for College Football, so we almost had another case of no legal way to watch the sport in this country again! ESPN have com…

Back for another year of #NFLDraft coverage. First column of the year just posted:
ukdraftfan.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/n...
Peter Woods ( DT, Clemson) prospect of the week! Lots more in the column, including an FCS Punter (I think I need help!).

Safety Rankings This isn’t the greatest group – but there are some solid prospects who can offer different skill sets. Tier One (Late First/Early Second Round) Andrew Mukuba – Texas. I’m no…

Perhaps I should have finished with a better group - but my final position rankings - Safety - isn't the best...

Cornerback Rankings While I wasn’t writing last year, I did spend time watching corners. One thing I noticed was how difficult it was to find a good press man corner – basically there were two – Kool…

Cornerback is a solid group this year - particularly at nickel. My rankings just posted:

Linebacker Rankings This group is the off ball linebackers – not the best group in terms of all-around prospects – but some who are good at specific things. I haven’t gone that deep with my write-up …

Will post rankings for the last three position groups today. First up - off ball linebacker, not the greatest group for me...

Defensive Line Rankings The days of the old school two down NT or Tyson Jackson like two gap five tech seem to have gone – so I’m looking for pass rush from this group almost as much as the edge prospects. It&…

A strong interior defensive line group this year - and it will be interesting to see how high some of the "plus" run stuffers will go. Here are my rankings:

#NFLDraft

Edge Rankings Before I started writing for a website (which was back in 2009), Edge was a position of strength for me. Of late, it has not been. Recently I happened to listen to Greg Cosell on a podcast talking …

A deep Edge class this year - but a lot of prospects who haven't completely figured it out yet. Some of these guys will break hearts and get General Managers fired! Here's my effort at ranking:

#NFLDraft

Interior Offensive Line Rankings This isn’t the best group – but it could be boosted by some of the prospects in the offensive tackle rankings who will be better inside as a pro. Tier One Donovan Jackson – Ohio S…

Not the best interior offensive line class, particularly at Center - but here are my rankings:

Offensive Tackle Rankings This is a decent group with a true top five level prospect at number one. As a reminder, I don’t take medical or character stuff into account with my rankings. Tier One (Top 5 Overall) Josh S…

Tight End Rankings Most Draft analysts seem to really love this TE class – but I think it’s poor… An inability to separate is pretty common with this class for me. I’ve put my round in bracket…

I know most people love this TE class - but for some reason I haven't connected with anyone at all. So, these are way different to the consensus...

Wide Receiver Rankings This group isn’t the best – lacking any elite talent, but there are a variety of types of receivers available and some solid talent. Having said that, I came away less impressed with th…

It's not the best WR class this year - but there is talent, and different types of receiver. My rankings are here:

#NFLDraft

The trouble might be finding someone who wants to trade up in this class. You'd have to give up a 2nd and/or 3rd and teams will want to keep those picks this year.
