The #Eagles just landed one of the most physically impressive IOL in the entire draft in Micah Morris. Started every game for UGA this year and has played both left and right guard in college and East-West Shrine Bowl He’s a 99.6% guard athlete in NFL Draft history, with a 5.09 forty time, 1.73 10 yard and 9’4 broad jump at 6’5 and 334 pounds RARE body type athlete. Think Jordan Davis as a OG prospect. Awesome value here. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

#Packers got the draft’s top kicker in two-time Groza semifinalist Trey Smack. One of just three FBS kickers to make FIVE 50+ yard field goals in 2025, he also made a 57 yarder in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl. A career 83% kicker, Smack is the ideal blend of accuracy with 55-60+ range. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

The #Steelers landed an ass-kicking fullback in National Champion Riley Nowakowski. He played TE, SWR, and FB for Indiana this year, and Fernando Mendoza constantly spoke to his importance. His 4.66 forty time and flashes of perimeter receiving upside speak to why some teams valued him as one of the better fullbacks in the last five years. Fullbacks matter! #ShrineBowlWhosNext

The #Broncos got an elite-production linebacker in Buffalo’s Red Murdock. Murdock has the most forced fumbles in NCAA HISTORY with 17, surpassing former Buffalo Bulls legend Khalil Mack. He had 39.5 TFL across three seasons at Buffalo, and is an explosive (4.53 forty), tackle finishing inside linebacker. Murdock can be an early down contributor early in his NFL career. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

#Vikings landed an outstanding, NFL-ready blocking fullback in Max Bredeson. Brother of NFL starting OG Bed Bredeson, Max was a 3-year starter at FB and posted an 85.2 PFF run blocking grade in 2025. Hit 19+ MPH on the GPS in college and has the speed to threaten as a pass catcher. NFL teams were wowed by his mental makeup and football IQ at the position. Never a doubt he’d be a FB draft pick.

#Eagles got AWESOME value here in he 7th round in defensive chess piece Cole Wisniewski. He played linebacker and safety at North Dakota State, including an 8 interception year in 2023. And this year at Texas Tech, was an integral part of their secondary and run defense, and had 6 TFLs and 2 FFs. He’s played free and strong safety, in the slot, and as a true linebacker in his career. If not for some injuries in his past, Wisniewski goes MUCH earlier. Great value for the #Eagles. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

While many around the league don’t expect any linebackers to be drafted tonight, if there is one, it certainly could be #TexasAM’s Edgerrin Cooper. Cooper is the most complete LB in the 2024 draft class. He’s shown to be: 1️⃣an elite athlete 2️⃣a consistent and impactful run defender 3️⃣a capable and efficient blitzer, and 4️⃣able to use his size and bend to disrupt in pass protection As a run defender, he finished with an 87.6 PFF grade, highest among any expected draft linebackers in this year’s draft class. That includes 15 TFLs or no gain plays. As you can see (🎥), his downhill force plus balance and control allows him to consistently win in the run game As a pass rusher, he had 7 sacks on the year, 4 of which came from playing on the line of scrimmage. When lined up on the line of scrimmage, he generated a pressure on over 30% of his pass rush snaps. Elite ‼️ And in coverage, he finished with a top-10 coverage grade int eh country last season (per PFF College) among LBs lined up in the box. He’s able to use his length and bend, along with developed vision and timing to disrupt plays from the box. Couple all of that with a 4.51 forty time and would-be impressive athletic testing numbers if he was 100% for the draft process (why he wasn’t able to officially go every day in practice at East-West Shrine Bowl), and it’s hard to ignore his NFL starting potential. There’s a real chance he goes in late round one, but if he’s there on Day 2, he may not only be one of, if not the, first linebacker drafted, but may be one of the first players taken on Day 2 of the draft. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

Just a two-star recruit out of Miami, FL, Fernando Mendoza was initially slated to go Yale before switching late to Cal. And after an 8-game starting season in 2023, he emerged as a bonafide NFL QB prospect during the 2024 season. And he enters the Big Ten (now at Indiana Football) and the 2025 #NFLDraft process as a QB Draft fans need to get to know: I’d bet on his continued ascent up boards over the next 10 months. Mendoza’s film last year has a LOT to be excited about, from his pocket navigation, deep ball placement, and high release point allowing him to pinpoint at all three levels with control. But what really jumps out in studying Mendoza: his toughness. He faced ample pressure last year and was as good as any quarterback with pressure in his face and finishing through contact as a passer. On plays where he had less than 2.5 seconds to throw, Mendoza was top-5 in the FBS last year in Completion % (min 250 attempts), behind players like Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. As you can see in the plays below, Mendoza has the size/arm talent to complete passes with rushers muddying the pocket and/or hitting him, and the rare placement and control to complete those passes at a high level He’s one of just seven FBS returning starters who faced pressure on 170+ snaps. The QB he’s replacing, Kurtis Rourke, faced pressure on a little less than half of Mendoza’s. Plus, Rourke was among the best in the country on play action last year in the Indiana offense, and Mendoza should benefit greatly: he had a 98.2 QB rating in play action passes last year. If you haven’t get, it’s time to get to know Fernando Mendoza. He’s the next surprising rising QB who crashes the early part of the draft. 👀 #ShrineBowlWhosNext East-West Shrine Bowl

He was the only Power-4 LB this year to have a 78+ PFF grade in Run Def., Pass Cov., and Pass Rush categories, and one of four in the last 5 years to hit that mark. At East-West Shrine Bowl, he showcased outstanding movement ability, range in coverage and explosiveness throughout. Rams landed a starter-level player in the 5th! #ShrineBowlWhosNext

#OleMiss’s Chris Paul (POOH) Chris Paul is undoubtably one of the best, and you can make the case he’s the most complete, linebacker in the 2025 #NFLDraft class. With outstanding movement ability, range in coverage, explosiveness upfield and laterally, and finishing ability as a tackler, he’s a rare three-tool, three down starting NFL linebacker. He finished the 2024 season with a 78+ PFF College grade in Run Defense, Coverage AND Pass Rush categories. He was the ONLY Power 4 LB to reach those numbers this year. And he’s just one of four in the last 5 years to do so (Edgerrin Cooper, Devin Lloyd and Nakobe Dean the others). Rare company for Paul, who rose during East-West Shrine Bowl week and should continue to rise throughout the draft process, as he has the elite football IQ to match the talent on the field. #ShrineBowlWhosNext
