The RotoViz staff highlights three teams whose fantasy future got significantly brighter during the 2026 NFL Draft, three other franchises that failed to hit the mark, and one team whose fate is yet to be determined.

The 2026 NFL Draft is now in the books. It is somewhat difficult to find words to properly describe what we have witnessed since Thursday night. Surprise landing spots, draft day slides, and perceived reaches are nothing new, but the overall lack of depth in this year’s class made for one of the most unpredictable drafts in recent memory, particularly where the offensive skill positions were concerned.

Some NFL franchises successfully navigated the chaos and came out the other side with a firm foundation in place for the future. Other front offices appeared to succumb to the pressure and lost their way shortly after the opening bell. Let’s jump in and find out which teams landed at each end of the spectrum!

Thriving in Chaos

Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore’s front office has been among the best in the league at unearthing talent in the draft for upwards of two decades. The Ravens had 11 picks to work with in this year’s draft and opted to focus on the offensive side of the ball with seven of them.[1]

Eric DeCosta used his first and last pick of the draft on offensive linemen; the other five offensive picks were used to surround Lamar Jackson with talented playmakers. Baltimore added some much-needed size to their WR room by selecting Ja’Kobi Lane in the back half of Day 2 and a sliding Elijah Sarratt early on Day 3.

Being selected at 80th overall boosted Lane’s Prospect Lab score from 17th in the class in the pre-draft version of the model to tied for eighth in the post-draft version. Blair Andrews went on to detail the upside that Lane brings with him to Baltimore:

Ja’Kobi Lane – 63

[Kenny] Golladay might be a closer comp for Lane, whose size and athleticism make him an intriguing addition to the Ravens WR corps at Pick 80. His final-season production falls quite a bit behind that of former teammate [Makai] Lemon, but as a sophomore the year prior, he scored more TDs than Lemon, [Zachariah] Branch, and Duce Robinson combined.

Sarratt was generally considered a late-Day-2 selection for much of the pre-draft process, but Shawn Siegele recently explained why the Indiana star may not be receiving the credit he deserves in his top-40 superflex rookie rankings prior to the draft:

No. 15 Elijah Sarratt

Sarratt should probably be generating more enthusiasm . . .

  • A 19-year-old freshman breakout at St. Francis, where he caught 13 TDs in 12 games and posted his first of four consecutive seasons above 2.0 YPTA.
  • A 20-year-old sophomore campaign at James Madison, where he went for 1,191 yards and notched his career-high YPTA of 2.8.
  • A junior season at Indiana, where he averaged 18.1 yards per reception, led [Omar] Cooper in YPRR (3.2 to 2.8) and confirmed his YPTA brilliance with a 2.7.
  • A senior season at Indiana, where he scored 15 receiving TDs and helped the Hoosiers to a national title.

As a result, NextGen gives Sarratt the No. 2 production grade behind Lemon (and just ahead of Cooper at No. 3).

Sarratt draws targets out wide and in the slot, and at all target depths. On the other hand, with Indiana he demonstrated limited after-catch ability and a penchant for drops, both elements that square poorly with the mediocre athletic profile.

You can understand why an older, mediocre athlete would lose a little sizzle when compared with the athletic freaks in this class, but WR is a production position, and few can compete with his overall resume.

Sarratt’s slide to Day 3 knocked down his Prospect Lab score quite a bit. In the pre-draft version of the model he was third in the class. Now he finds himself 11th. Still, it appears that Sarratt’s case is more about a talented player who slid than someone who was being overvalued after playing in the spotlight for the reigning national champions.

The Ravens weren’t done adding pass catchers on Day 3 after snatching up Sarratt. They bolstered their TE room with two intriguing prospects who can do a little bit of everything. I recapped both selections in my Day 3 instant reactions:

Matthew Hibner, Baltimore Ravens

Round 4 – 133rd Overall

The Ravens continue to bolster their receiving corps with a fun replacement for the departed Isaiah Likely. Hibner is a big-play threat who averaged 14.1 yards per reception in 2025 while splitting time at SMU with RJ Maryland. After he ran a 4.57-second 40 at the combine, it became apparent why he was able to break free so often at the college level.

Hibner has prototypical size at 6 feet 4 inches and 251 pounds and has shown himself to be at least a decent run blocker. Although we should stop short of proclaiming Hibner as the heir apparent to Mark Andrews, we shouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility either. With all of the open opportunities in the Ravens’ TE room, we should get a pretty good idea of the type of player Hibner is early on.

Josh Cuevas, Baltimore Ravens

Round 5 – 173rd Overall

The Ravens have restocked their TE room in a hurry on Day 3. Cuevas is another plus athlete who offers something as a blocker and in the passing game. It will be interesting to see which rookie comes out on top in 2026.

Day 3 Landing Spots: Instant Reactions From the 2026 NFL Draft

Andrews was not the only aging star in Baltimore who is getting some help. We shouldn’t be expecting Derrick Henry to cede many carries this year. However, if anything were to happen to the 32-year-old workhorse, fifth-rounder Adam Randall could be capable of carrying the load after pacing the 2026 running back class in Backfield Dominator Rating (BDR):

Adam Randall

Randall is the class leader in BDR despite falling short of both a 60% rushing yardage share and a 10% receiving yardage share. His 0.82 BDR would have been just the fifth-best mark in last year’s class. Randall turned in a promising combine performance, with a 91st percentile speed score and a 95th percentile RB freak score. He was also one of the only RBs to run the shuttle at the combine, though that may have been a mistake.

Jonah Coleman, Emmett Johnson, and the Hidden Value of Collegiate Production: 2026 Backfield Dominator Ratings

After John Harbaugh was a mainstay in Baltimore for the past 18 years, it doesn’t feel like the idea that Baltimore has a new coaching staff has completely sunk in yet. It remains to be seen how Declan Doyle will build his offense, but it feels safe to say he had some input on the players the Ravens brought in.

It is also important to note that Baltimore’s decision-makers at the top of the organization haven’t changed. And based on their past successes, we should probably expect at least a couple of the Ravens’ selections from the 2026 draft to be fantasy contributors during their rookie contracts.

Cleveland Browns

We go from a front office with one of the best track records in the league to a team whose leadership has consistently failed to put a winner on the field. Still, it is hard not to like what the Browns did on the offensive side of the ball over the weekend.

With no viable franchise quarterbacks available to them, upgrading the WR corps was the top priority for Cleveland this year. When laying out potential landing spots prior to the draft, I identified Cleveland as a team that had a big need for an upgrade in talent:

It’s pretty wild that the Browns have done almost nothing to improve what was arguably the worst WR corps in the league last season. It is being heavily rumored that Cleveland is eyeing a wideout with one of their two first-rounders. I would say that this needs to turn from speculation into a certainty, with a heavy emphasis on prioritizing a WR at sixth overall.

It really says something about your WRs when seldom-used manufactured-touch weapon Malachi Corley is the only player on the depth chart to post a positive PAA/Route or more than 1.0 yards per route. Meanwhile, no Cleveland wideout made it into positive territory in fantasy points over expectation (FPOE) in 2025, with Jerry Jeudy finishing dead last among all NFL WRs in the metric. If the Browns ever expect to be taken seriously, they should start by adding viable NFL talent at the most important offensive positions.

The AFC’s Big Free Agency Spenders Aren’t Done Adding WR Firepower: NFL Draft Landing Spots, Part 3

Cleveland opted to trade back from sixth overall and selected tackle Spencer Fano with their first pick. Still, the Browns were able to nab two projected first-round WR talents inside the top 40 picks. Unfortunately, the elephant in the room continues to be who will be delivering the ball to their new weapons, something I addressed briefly when covering the selection of KC Concepcion on Day 1 of the draft:

Sadly, it is fair to question if Cleveland has enough talent at the QB position to maximize Concepcion’s talents in Year 1. Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders were objectively two of the worst QBs in the league last year.

If we look at Deshaun Watson’s 2024 numbershe represents a significant improvement over Cleveland’s 2025 rookies. But it’s still difficult to get excited about the Browns’ passing game regardless of which route they take at QB in 2026.

If there is any silver lining for Concepcion, it’s that he should be slotted into the WR1 spot on the Browns’ depth chart on Day 1. This means he will be sitting with Harold Fannin at the top of Cleveland’s target hierarchy. The big question that remains is if the Browns will be competitive enough under Todd Monken to support two every-week starting fantasy options. Even with an excess of garbage time, nothing has come easy for the Browns’ passing attack in recent years.

Day 1 Landing Spots: Instant Reactions From the 2026 NFL Draft

Andrew Berry followed up the Concepcion pick by selecting the big-bodied Denzel Boston with the seventh pick of the second round. Shawn outlined the pros and cons of Boston’s profile in his latest article:

Boston will be a 23-year-old rookie who broke out in his third season at Washington after the trio of big-name receivers left following the Huskies’ championship game experience. He didn’t lead Washington in targets, yards, or YPRR in 2024 either, but made the jump to potential first-round status with a 2025 season that featured a 13.0 aDOT and 11 receiving TDs in just 11 games.[2]

Boston posted elite on-target catch percentages in both seasons, dropping only one target of less than 15 yards in 145 opportunities across the last two seasons. Although he didn’t evade many tackles across the two campaigns, in 2024 Boston generated 210 of his 834 yards after contact.

At 6 feet 3, 212 pounds, it’s a well-rounded profile, even if his late development and mediocre athleticism raise questions about the ceiling. Boston is a scouting favorite who could be the third or fourth WR taken. NextGen offers Rome Odunze and Keon Coleman as play-style comps, which shouldn’t be taken overly seriously,[3] but is a reminder that some of the late-blooming and/or stylistic risers don’t always hit.

The Browns now have an intriguing trio of receivers in Concepcion, Boston, and Harold Fannin Jr. to kick off the Todd Monken era. Even the rising star Fannin got a little bit of support, as the Browns invested in two upside TE options during the final rounds:

Joe Royer, Cleveland Browns

Round 5 – 170th Overall

It was a shame that we didn’t get any athletic testing from Royer in the pre-draft process because he looked like an impressive athlete on film.

Royer had a rough go of it at the start of his career after coming to Ohio State as a four-star recruit in 2020. But if he can continue to improve, there is little in the way of him climbing to the TE2 spot in Cleveland’s TE room early in his career.

Carsen Ryan, Cleveland Browns

Round 7 – 248th Overall

Ryan didn’t really do much as a receiver in college prior to putting up a 21% Dominator Rating as a senior at BYU. But he is one of the best run-blocking TEs in the draft, which will make him significantly more valuable in reality rather than fantasy.

Browns fans are accustomed to watching things fly off the rails in a hurry, and we would be naive to think that 2026 will be an obvious exception. But even if things do fall apart, there could be reason for excitement if fans get a glimpse at sixth-round QB Taylen Green.

Green is one of the most explosive athletes we have ever seen at the QB position. If he sees the field, he could deliver in fantasy with his rushing upside alone. A position change has already been floated for Green as well, so even if one of the Browns’ QBs takes a step forward this year, he could be a developmental offensive weapon waiting in the wings.

In theory, the Browns have set themselves up well to support their QB of the future, who should tentatively be joining the team in the 2027 draft. Altogether, Cleveland made 10 selections this weekend, with eight coming on the offensive side of the ball. After spending big in free agency to retool their line, they went on to add three more linemen in the first five rounds.

With better protection, a host of legitimate receiving talent, and a new offensive direction, there is always a chance that one of Cleveland’s QBs can prove themselves capable of leading a functional offense. While history should lead us to shy away from optimism, the future became a little brighter in Cleveland following a strong draft. Even if we don’t see massive returns from both Concepcion and Boston in Year 1, I do believe that at least one of the two should end up being a viable fantasy option in 2026.

New Orleans Saints

The Saints clearly believe they have secured their QB of the future after selecting Tyler Shough in the second round of last year’s draft. This time around, Mickey Loomis did everything in his power to surround Shough with the pieces he will need to succeed.

I was critical of Loomis’ roster-building techniques in my NFC WR landing spot preview, but I am happy to report that I have changed my tune after the Saints added three intriguing pass catchers in the first four rounds:

Mickey Loomis strikes again with one of the most underwhelming WR rooms in the league. If New Orleans wants to get a true bearing of what they have in Tyler Shough, they need to add more viable NFL talent around their quarterback. Eighth overall would be a great place to start, but I would argue that the Saints should not be content stopping there. Adding multiple wideouts to the mix before Round 5 would be a step in the right direction.

The NFC Has an Abundance of Star WRs Who Could Use a New Sidekick: NFL Draft Landing Spots, Part 4

Loomis kicked things off by selecting the surging Jordyn Tyson eighth overall. After Tyson held the top spot in Blair’s pre-draft Prospect Lab model, his healthy draft position allowed him to stay there in the post-draft edition:

Jordyn Tyson – 93

Tyson was picked at No. 8 overall by the New Orleans Saints, improving an already impressive Prospect Lab score to truly elite levels. Only a handful of players score better than Tyson, and most of those are the best WRs in recent memory. One of them — the only other four-year player to score this high — is Corey Davis (93). Tyson isn’t Davis — he played against tougher competition, and in an era when the signal for early declaration is not as clear. Still, Davis and Kenny Britt (95) offer the obligatory caveat for players with such high scores.

Even with the cautionary tales included, Tyson is an exciting addition to a Saints’ receiving corps that was in dire need of difference-makers. And New Orleans wasn’t done there, as they took a chance on Oscar Delp’s massive athletic upside in Round 3. Personally, I am a bit skeptical of the pick, a stance I explained in my Day 2 instant reactions:

Oscar Delp, New Orleans Saints

Round 3 – 73rd Overall

Delp has the pedigree and the athleticism but lacks any sort of meaningful production during his college career. After arriving in Georgia as a highly touted recruit, Delp did not impress following Brock Bowers’ departure for the NFL. He created some hype late in the draft process by reportedly running a 4.50-second 40 and putting up a 38-inch vertical and a 10-foot broad jump.

Delp is nothing more than a developmental prospect for now. He is not anything special as a run blocker, and Juwan Johnson is the Saints’ top receiving option at the TE position. New Orleans has a potential out in Johnson’s deal after this season. But even if the team cuts ties, Delp is unlikely to be ready to fill the TE1 spot by then. Still, we shouldn’t rule out Delp operating as the TE2 for the Saints after taking a look at their current depth chart.

Day 2 Landing Spots: Instant Reactions From the 2026 NFL Draft

New Orleans continued to aim for upside on Day 3 when they added Bryce Lance in the fourth round and Barion Brown in the sixth. While Brown profiles as more of a special teams contributor, Lance could work his way into the offense early. Blair made the upside case:

Bryce Lance – 43

Lance goes at Pick 136 to the Saints, and his Lab score falls into a range where Terry McLaurin (43) is the best outcome. Lance’s athleticism makes the McLaurin comp believable, and he was also much more productive, albeit against FCS competition. Puka Nacua (41) offers a comp with similar production, but he was about two years younger when he was drafted.

The Saints are giving their young QB, and perhaps more importantly, their young offensive-minded head coach plenty of pieces to work with. In the matter of a year, New Orleans has gone from a dumpster fire to one of the NFL’s emerging offenses. This should give hope to other teams around the league that appear to be stuck in a perpetual state of limbo.

Teetering on the Edge

New York Jets

The Jets’ roster may well be in a better spot than the Browns. But they find themselves here because of my lack of faith in Aaron Glenn and his coaching staff. While we can tell ourselves a story that Monken might turn things around in Cleveland, it feels like a near certainty that the Jets will be starting over at head coach next offseason, if not before then.

Like Cleveland, the Jets appeared to be loading up on receiving weapons in preparation for their next franchise QB landing with the team in the 2027 draft. With the Jets owning three first-rounders next year, they should have enough ammunition to move up the board for any player they want.

Meanwhile, the Jets were able to add two exciting pieces to their passing game in the first round. Omar Cooper was regularly mocked to New York in the middle of the first round, so getting him at 30th overall should be considered a win for the team. However, the situation gets a bit more convoluted when we add in their surprise pick of TE Kenyon Sadiq at 16th overall.

While the Browns’ selection of Concepcion and Boston makes sense from a fit perspective, the roles in New York remain unclear because of the potential overlap in the Jets’ receiving corps. Jesse Cohen laid out the details in his Day 1 edition of the Dynasty Dealbook:

Sadiq Fails at Launch

Oh, no.

I’ve been high on Kenyon Sadiq. As Shawn just explained, his age-adjusted production is on par with all but the non-Bowers TE studs of today.

But this is terrible. NFL teams are already catching-up to 12/13 personnel looks by just playing nickel,[4] and the Jets will presumably want to play Mason Taylor (who is 10lbs heavier) at Y to some extent. And Sadiq won’t be better than Omar Cooper as a slot receiver, while Garrett Wilson looms over both.[5]

The likelihood that the Jets change management in 2027, while probably a positive for the team overall, injects further uncertainty for Sadiq.[6] Hopefully they have a better plan for the young TE, and that will be the time to buy. For now, he’s plummeting down my rookie ranks.

I’m mildly happy for Geno, at least.

Contrarian Draft Thoughts: The Dynasty Dealbook Reacts to Day 1 of the NFL Draft

We shouldn’t bury the Jets’ selections entirely until we get some clarity about how Frank Reich intends to utilize them. Still, it is difficult not to imagine the fantasy values of Wilson, Sadiq, and Cooper all taking a hit for 2026, if not longer.

Succumbing to Madness

Las Vegas Raiders

Selecting Fernando Mendoza first overall was a layup for John Spytek and the Raiders. But Las Vegas’ selections after that were not as straightforward, creating more concern for Spytek’s roster-building strategies after his 2025 draft haul failed to impress.

It was blatantly clear that the Raiders needed to add weapons to help develop Mendoza. But instead of using one of their three Day 2 picks to add an upside receiver, the only offensive selection Las Vegas made was on a center. Mind you, this comes after signing Tyler Linderbaum to a record-setting three-year, $81.0M deal in free agency.

When their next offensive selection finally came at 122nd overall, it was for a backup RB with a highly questionable analytic profile. Blair broke down Mike Washington Jr.’s outlook in his post-draft RB Prospect Lab article:

Mike Washington Jr. – 53

Washington was picked in the fourth round by the Raiders and figures to be a pure handcuff behind Ashton Jeanty. Washington’s production profile is good, not great — he may actually be underrated as a pass-catcher, but he posted disappointing after-contact metrics given his size and athleticism. The best RBs in this range — Rhamondre Stevenson (55), Jordan Howard (54), and Aaron Jones (49) — were not burners the way Washington is. All three were much more productive in college, however.

How Does the Draft Change Our Outlook on the 2026 Running Back Class? Post-Draft RB Prospect Lab Scores – Live Updates

The Raiders made it all the way to the sixth round before addressing the WR position in mediocre fashion:

Malik Benson, Las Vegas Raiders

Round 6 – 195th Overall

When I said that the Raiders needed to surround their franchise signal caller with weapons, waiting until the sixth round to grab their first pass catcher is not what I had in mind. But in a weak Raiders receiving corps, we shouldn’t rule out the former top-ranked JUCO transfer prospect from seeing some time on the field in 2026.

I understand that Las Vegas drafted Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton relatively early last year, but these are not the types of profiles a team should be doubling down on. Free-agent acquisition Jalen Nailor is just a guy. Unless the Raiders intend on adding multiple players from the remaining available WR pool of Jauan Jennings, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Keenan Allen, they are already setting their franchise QB up for failure.

Miami Dolphins

For as bad as the Raiders draft was, at least they aren’t the Dolphins. Miami entered the draft with seven picks inside the top 100, which offered them a chance to reshape their roster in a hurry. First-year general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan’s initial three picks were acceptable, but the situation deteriorated quickly after that.

Miami used all three of their third-rounders on receivers, but the value they got with those selections was questionable at best:

Caleb Douglas, Miami Dolphins

Round 3 – 75th Overall

For as bad as the [Malachi] Fields pick was, this one is considerably worse. Malik Willis has to be getting worried after the Miami front office has failed to add playmakers to help him succeed.

I liked Douglas as a dart throw late on Day 3, not as a potential starting WR option. Miami’s new regime clearly is not prioritizing the offense in 2026. Here’s to hoping Willis can clear 1,000 rushing yards in 2026, because his passing totals are going to be extremely limited.

Will Kacmarek, Miami Dolphins

Round 3 – 87th Overall

The Dolphins have easily the worst receiving corps in the league, and they are doing almost nothing to rectify the situation. Here is what I wrote about their TE room pre-draft:

Like most positions on Miami’s roster, TE is extremely thin. Granted, the table above is a little misleading, as the team currently also has Jalin Conyers, Zack Kuntz, Ben Sims, and Cole Turner under contract. A few of the Dolphins’ TEs carried some intrigue coming into the league, but nearly all excitement has since faded.

Miami’s vacated TE routes and targets both rank third in the NFL. Following a complete regime change, it remains a bit of a mystery how the Dolphins’ new decision-makers will value the TE position. Even though Greg Dulcich’s PAA/Route only trailed Tucker Kraft among TEs last year — regardless of routes run — it is still difficult to envision him operating unchallenged as the Dolphins’ TE1 in 2026.

The Dolphins have a massive hole to fill at TE and an abundance of picks at their disposal. Any rookie TE who lands in Miami could wind up with a featured role in their NFL debut.

Maybe I should have said any TE except Will Kacmarek. To be fair to the rookie out of Ohio State, he is likely being brought in to be a blocking TE. Let’s hope Miami’s front office has something up their sleeve to add viable pass catchers for Malik Willis, because the current plan is looking worse by the minute.

Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins

Round 3 – 94th Overall

If Miami had selected Bell instead of Douglas earlier in the third round, I would have been more optimistic about the direction of the team. Instead, I now find myself doubting Bell more than being excited about his potential to emerge in the desolate Miami passing game.

We have recently gotten positive reports about Bell’s recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in November. A return before training camp might be a bit too optimistic. But even at 75%, Bell might still be the best receiver Miami has on the roster in 2026.

From there, the Dolphins used two of their seven Day 3 picks to add WR Kevin Coleman Jr. and TE Seydou Traore. Both players have some fun upside, but neither is the type of receiver who should be considered anything more than a depth addition.

Miami’s 13 selections were the most of any team in the 2026 draft. There is a strong case to be made that they still came away with the worst haul in the league.

Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons had one job: find a WR to play alongside Drake London.

What did we get? Zachariah Branch.

Shawn’s pre-draft profile is an accurate representation of what Branch offers an NFL offense:

No. 24 Zachariah Branch

Branch was a top-10 national recruit who immediately posted stats on a loaded team that kept fellow freshmen Lemon and Lane off the field. Although bypassed in part in 2024, he crossed the 500-yard threshold before transferring to Georgia.

With the Bulldogs, Branch led the SEC in receptions (81), but at a miniscule target depth (3.7).[7] As you can imagine, he crushed the field in yards after the catch overall, while impressing on a per-play basis (7.9) and in evasion (35%). Despite weighing in at 177 pounds, he finished right with Cooper and Concepcion in yards after contact (228).

Branch is a plus-athlete with ball-in-hands dynamism that’s reinforced by 44 punt returns and 39 kick returns in college, including a score in both categories.

Obviously, there are some things to like about Branch’s profile. However, his minuscule aDOT has led many to flag his production as potentially the most fraudulent in the class. To make matters worse, when Branch came off the board at 79th overall, there was still a deep pool of WRs available who offered the team more versatility, plus a higher floor and ceiling.

Branch ties with Lane as the eighth-best WR in the post-draft Prospect Lab. Blair offered a little context in his write-up:

Zachariah Branch – 63

Branch joins the Atlanta Falcons after they selected him at No. 79 overall. Branch is a true early declare with significant speed, but not a ton of on-field production. Even with that speed, his athletic comps leave something to be desired.

The most successful player in this range of the post-draft model is Golladay (63), who is a very different player. 

Atlanta is certainly a favorable landing spot, but there are plenty of other WRs who could have made better use of their wealth of vacated routes and targets. I have a difficult time believing Branch will be anything more than a gadget player on a depth chart overcrowded with mediocre talents.
