Dante Moore's return to Oregon could be the best thing for his long-term NFL outlook. He already flashes the accuracy and natural arm talent teams look for in modern quarterbacks, and another year of development could solidify him as one of the safest passers in the class.

- Age (on CFB Week 1): 20
- Position: EDGE
- School: South Carolina
- Class: Junior
- Hometown: Washington, DC
- Jersey Number: 6
Dylan Stewart feels like the type of defensive prospect teams talk themselves into building around because of the upside as a pass rusher. The production has not fully exploded yet, but the blend of size, burst, and flexibility gives him the ceiling to be one of the most dangerous edge defenders in football.

“His size, twitch, and flexibility help him project as a 10-plus sack monster in the NFL with All-Pro upside.” — Rob Rang

- School: LSU
- Class: Junior
- Hometown: West Linn, OR
- Jersey Number: 10
Sam Leavitt's transfer to LSU could completely change the trajectory of his draft stock. The arm talent and athleticism already jump off the screen, and if he stays healthy in Lane Kiffin’s offense, the numbers could push him firmly into the top quarterback conversation.

“He has the combination of arm talent and athleticism to follow the same path that Commanders QB Jayden Daniels took.” — Rob Rang

- Age (on CFB Week 1): 20
- Position: Wide Receiver
- School: Ohio State
- Class: Junior

- Jersey Number: 4
Jeremiah Smith still looks like one of those rare receiver prospects who feels NFL-ready before most players his age even settle into college football. His size, explosiveness, and ability to completely take over games would give the Raiders a true offensive centerpiece moving forward.

“One of the few players I’ve ever seen physically capable of competing at the NFL level as a true freshman.” — Rob Rang

- Position: EDGE
- School: Texas
- Class: Junior
- Hometown: Dallas, TX
- Jersey Number: 11
Colin Simmons may not have the prototype size some teams prefer off the edge, but his explosiveness consistently creates problems for offensive tackles. After breaking out as one of the SEC’s most productive pass rushers, he is starting to look more and more like a lock for the top half of the first round.

“His quickness and agility make him a nightmare for would-be blockers.” — Rob Rang

- Position: Offensive Tackle
- School: Texas
- Class: Junior
- Hometown: Melissa, TX
- Jersey Number: 74
Trevor Goosby stepping into Texas’ lineup without much drop-off says a lot about how highly NFL teams are going to value him. Franchise tackles with his size and movement skills are difficult to find, and Tennessee could view him as a long-term answer protecting the quarterback’s blindside.

“His blend of size and easy movement will be highly valued by NFL teams.” — Rob Rang

- Hometown: Round Rock, TX
- Jersey Number: 15
Leonard Moore already looks the part of a future NFL starting corner because of his instincts and smooth movement ability in coverage.

“He has the size, easy movement skills, and instincts NFL teams are looking for at cornerback.” — Rob Rang

A'Mauri Washington may not put up eye-popping statistics, but his physical traits are impossible to ignore for evaluators. Massive interior defenders who move the way he does do not come around often, and that alone could keep him firmly in the first-round conversation.

Still, the poise and accuracy he showed in his first year as the starter gave scouts plenty of reasons to believe he can develop into a high-end NFL quarterback.

“He showed impressive poise and accuracy in his first season as the Buckeyes starter.” — Rob Rang

- Position: Defensive Back
- School: Alabama
- Class: Junior
- Hometown: Glassboro, NJ
- Jersey Number: 3
Keon Sabb feels like the type of defensive back Detroit would love because of the physicality he brings against the run. Reliable open-field tacklers are becoming more valuable every year, and Sabb consistently shows the willingness to come downhill and deliver big hits.

“Reliable open-field tackling is at a premium.” — Rob Rang

Kewan Lacy answered a lot of questions last season about whether he could handle a heavy workload as an every-down back. The explosiveness and receiving ability already made him dangerous, but the increased production could solidify him as one of the top running backs in the class.

“He’s cat-quick with breakaway speed, soft hands out of the backfield and underrated power.” — Rob Rang

Cam Coleman could see his national profile explode, catching passes from Arch Manning at Texas this season. The size and body control already make him a difficult matchup, and bigger production in a more explosive offense could send him flying up draft boards.

“Don’t be surprised if those numbers are doubled this year at Texas.” — Rob Rang

- Jersey Number: 70
Ryan Baer has the type of massive frame and physical style that immediately stands out when watching Pittsburgh’s offensive line. Experienced tackles with his power at the point of attack are always going to have strong value in the NFL draft process.

“The 6-foot-7, 325-pound Baer mauls opponents at the line of scrimmage.” — Rob Rang

Teitum Tuioti might not generate as much national attention as some other Oregon defenders, but scouts clearly love the polish in his game. The combination of power against the run and consistent pass-rush production makes him feel like a very safe projection to the next level.

“Tuioti sets the edge with the best of them.” — Rob Rang

Xavier Chaplin has benefited from going against elite pass rushers in practice throughout his college career, and that development shows up on tape. Massive tackles who can still move well laterally tend to rise quickly during the draft process.

“Chaplin is a massive left tackle with impressive initial quickness.” — Rob Rang

- Jersey Number: 67
Austin Siereveld brings the kind of toughness and aggression offensive line coaches love working with at the next level. The versatility to potentially play tackle or slide inside only adds more value for a Chiefs team always looking to strengthen the protection around Patrick Mahomes.

“He’s broad and powerful and plays with a brand of aggression that will make him a favorite of NFL offensive line coaches.” — Rob Rang

- Jersey Number: 1
Princewill Umanmielen has the burst and bend off the edge that NFL teams constantly search for in pass rushers. There is still room for growth as a more complete defender, but the ability to consistently pressure quarterbacks alone could make him a highly valued prospect.

“His one-trick is valuable.” — Rob Rang

Ryan Coleman-Williams experienced some inconsistency last season, but the athletic traits remain extremely intriguing for NFL evaluators. If the concentration drops improve, the explosiveness and separation ability could help him bounce back in a major way this year.

“Coleman-Williams possesses electric stop-start quickness to get open.” — Rob Rang

Nyck Harbor remains one of the most fascinating upside bets in college football because of the rare size and speed combination. His refinement as a receiver is still developing, but there are not many players capable of creating explosive plays the way he can.

“Harbor is one of the most intriguing but undeniably raw prospects in this article.” — Rob Rang

Damon Wilson II has quietly put together the kind of production that should keep him firmly on NFL radars entering the season. The burst and flexibility off the edge give Seattle another high-upside defensive piece in this projection.

“Wilson is both well-traveled and legitimately talented, boasting terrific burst and bend off the edge.” — Rob Rang

Arch Manning heading to Miami would immediately give the Dolphins a potential franchise reset at quarterback. The physical tools have always been obvious, but the growth in his decision-making and comfort under pressure has made him look more and more like the favorite to hear his name called first overall next spring.

“He is the easy favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick next spring.” — Rob Rang
