The Cincy Jungle 2026 NFL Draft ranking of the top 300 prospects
· Yahoo Sports
1. Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
Downs was an All-American at safety for the Buckeyes. He is considered a coach on the field. He is a tape grinder, which allows him to always be in the right spot, at the right time. He is a reliable tackler on the back end of a defense. He can line up in the box, in single high, or in the slot. He isn’t going to be an elite tester, but the tape speaks for itself. Safeties are not typically selected in the top ten due to perceived positional value; Downs should be an exception this year.

2. Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
Love put up over 1,100 yards rushing and over 200 yards receiving during the 2024 season. He surpassed those numbers in 2025. He rushed for over 1,300 yards with 18 rushing touchdowns. He added another 280 receiving yards with 3 touchdowns on the season. He is elusive with the ball in his hands, rarely fumbles, and is a legit weapon in the receiving game. His burst through the line and top-end speed allow him to be a threat to take it to the house on any given play.

3. Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
Styles is a converted safety from the Buckeyes. Still just 21 years old, Styles has already played over 2,100 career snaps for Ohio State. He has looked comfortable in coverage, had just a 2.2% missed tackle rate, and has elite athleticism for the position. While Arvell Reese has burst on the scene, people should not forget just how talented of a prospect that Styles is.
Sonny Styles vs. Indiana
— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 14, 2026
**Styles won’t get out of the top 15 and maybe not the top 10. All-Pro talent at linebacker. The leap he made from year 1 to year 2 at the position was highly impressive https://t.co/xUrsUYHn9mpic.twitter.com/NXX44nCG2u
4. Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami
Bain put pressure on opposing quarterbacks at a high rate all season long in 2025. He had a 30.3% win-rate on true pass sets this season. He is a sawed-off powerhouse at 6’3”, 275 pounds. He possesses knock-back power in his hands, is stout against the run, and had over 80 pressures during the 2025 season. His play during the playoffs should have helped solidify him as a top 10 draft selection, regardless of the fact he has shorter arm length.
Rueben Bain Jr. vs. Ohio State

**Dominant performance by Bain. Would be shocked if he gets out of the top five this year. pic.twitter.com/GPvX1N5Jjj
5. Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
Mendoza led Indiana to the National Championship this year. The California transfer won the Heisman Trophy for his play during the regular season. Some of his best attributes include his accuracy, mobility, and ball placement. Mendoza has a ridiculous 41 touchdowns to just 6 interceptions ratio on the season. It would be a surprise if anyone besides Mendoza is the first overall draft pick this year.
6. Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State
Reese can play off-ball linebacker or up on the line of scrimmage. He amassed 6.5 sacks on the season for the Buckeyes. Reese is heavy-handed, physical, and an athletic marvel. Regardless of where teams view him playing at the next level, he played his way into top-five consideration this year.
Arvell Reese vs. Illinois
— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 13, 2026
**Huge upside at either linebacker or on the edge. Likely doesn’t make it out of the top 5. https://t.co/mf9pFiF4iEpic.twitter.com/Ws4RUvGjoC
7. David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech
Bailey transferred to Texas Tech from Stanford ahead of the 2025 season. He was one of the premier pass rushers in all of college football. He had 81 pressures and 14.5 sacks on the season. He has shown some improvement as a run defender, but that will never be his biggest strength. His explosiveness off the snap, pass rush arsenal, and ability to get after the quarterback are his calling card. That ability to be a havoc creator off the edge is what should make him a top 10 draft pick in April.
8. Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
Freeling has a basketball background, which shows up immediately when watching his film. He is quick to get up to the second level, has great lateral agility, and knows how to use his body to wall off pass rushers. Freeling has ideal size for a left tackle at 6’7” and 315 pounds. He doesn’t have as much experience as some of the other top lineman in this class, but he might have the most upside. His ability to play on either the left or right side at tackle is one of a few reasons he comes in as my top offensive tackle in this class.
Monroe Freeling 📈

Expecting him to test really well at the combine also https://t.co/dLxzqOHrHIpic.twitter.com/r3lf81Bghq
9. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
Tate runs sharp routes, has an elite contested catch rate, and averaged a fantastic 3.03 yards per route ran on the season. Even after missing a couple of games, Tate had 875 receiving yards with 9 touchdown receptions on the season. Ohio State continues producing first round wide receivers; Tate is the next in line.
10. Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami
The former five-star recruit played his third season with Miami in 2025. He was the starting right tackle for all three of those seasons. He allowed just 15 pressures during 16 games played in 2025. He blocks well on the move, is a mauler in the run game, and has improved his consistency in pass protection this year. Mauigoa should be able to stick at right tackle at the next level, but if not, he could slide inside and likely be a Pro-Bowl caliber guard.
11. Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
Delane transferred to LSU from Virginia Tech this past year. He was the best cornerback in college football. He allowed only a 37.1% completion rate against him on the season. He will bring experience, physicality as a tackler, and a player with good ball skills to whatever team drafts him. That team could very well end up being in the Cincinnati Bengals this year.

12. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona
Tyson is a player I have zero questions about for his on-field ability. He is a dominant receiver when healthy. The problem has been staying healthy. He has an extensive injury history that includes a torn ACL in 2022, a broken collarbone in 2024, and hamstring issues this past year. He can line up in the slot or on the outside, makes contested catches at a high rate, possesses high-level ball tracking ability down the field, and has excellent body control. His medicals will be key to how high he is ultimately drafted this year.
13. Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
Fano played left tackle at Utah as a true freshman. The past two seasons, he has kicked over and played at a high level on the right side. This guy moves like a tight end. He was arguably the best run blocker in all of college football. He has a finishing mindset and plays through the whistle. He needs to be more consistent in pass protection, but he has the athleticism to continue improving in that area. His shorter arm length has some people expecting him to kick inside at the next level.
Spencer Fano vs. Cincinnati
— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 15, 2026
**Not many guys playing tackle have the kind of athleticism that Fano does. Shouldn’t make it out of the top 10-15 picks. https://t.co/DQUnwQaeyIpic.twitter.com/Vj9eaaR6zM
14. Makai Lemon, WR, USC
Lemon may be primarily a slot receiver in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t worthy of a top twenty draft selection. Lemon is elusive with the ball in his hands, a quality route runner, and brings added value as a returner.
15. Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Sadiq is an athletic pass catcher for the Ducks. He had some injuries this past year, but when healthy, he looksed like the only tight end worthy of a first round selection. Even though he is considered a bit smaller for the position, that doesn’t typically bother him as a blocker. He is a tenacious player in that aspect, who has multiple blocks where he takes a guy 15-20 yards down the field in the run game. That type of two-way ability will entice somebody to take Sadiq in the first round.
16. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
McCoy did not play a game in 2025 after suffering a torn ACL in January of 2025. His tape in 2024 was fantastic. He was a shutdown corner for the majority of the year for the Volunteers. His ability to mirror opposing top receivers, ball skills, and ability to be physical at the line in press-man coverage scream future Pro-Bowl player at the next level.

17. Vega Ioane, OG, Penn State
Ioane was one of the more consistent bright spots for a disappointing Penn State team in 2025. Thickly built at 6’4” 335 pounds, he is a mauler in the run game. He allowed just four pressures in pass protection the entire season. Ioane has all the makings of an All-Pro for years to come in the NFL at the guard position.
18. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
The younger brother of Falcons corner AJ Terrell, Avieon is an absolute dog on the football field. He is undersized at just 5’11 and 180 pounds. He plays much bigger than that. He reminds me of Trent McDuffie. He is competitive at the catch point, ferocious in run support, and knows how to create big plays with turnovers.

19. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo
McNeil-Warren is going to be the next Toledo Rocket defensive player to be drafted to play in the NFL. He has excellent length, quick reactionary time, and nine career forced fumbles. Having almost identical coverage and run defense grades around 90.0 on the season per PFF.
20. Peter Woods, DT, Clemson
The sack numbers are not overly impressive, with only two this past season. The advanced numbers tell a better story of the type of talent he can be. He had a 16% win-rate on true pass sets in 2025. Combine that with a stop rate over 10% as a run defender. Those numbers have directly correlated with guys that end up being the best defensive tackles in football over the years. Woods has tremendous upside, but the lack of production could move him down boards for some teams. His testing numbers at his Pro Day were also mediocre. I can’t imagine Woods is still in the conversation within the top 10-15 picks.

21. Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
Thieneman was a highly sought-after transfer from Purdue this season. He ultimately chose the Oregon Ducks. He is a willing and capable tackler on the back end of a defense. I wish he had better eye discipline. He also takes some funky pursuit angles at times. I do expect he will test well, which could ultimately move him even higher up draft boards.
22. CJ Allen, LB, Georgia
Allen is everything teams are looking for in a modern linebacker. He can rush the passer, he has excellent pursuit speed, and he has shown tremendous improvement in coverage this year. His sideline-to-sideline range, football IQ, and experience as a three-year starter are more reasons he seems like a safe bet to go before the end of the first round.
CJ Allen vs. Auburn
— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 17, 2026
**Allen is a top 25 player in this class. Most years he would be the top linebacker prospect in the class. Should be an instant starter. pic.twitter.com/mL7hbxcry7
23. Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn
Faulk is a big-bodied edge setter at 6’6”, 285 pounds. He provides a high-floor player as a run defender with powerful hands and alignment versatility. His ability as a pass rusher is still a work in progress, which is why he doesn’t make my top 10. He had only 29 pressures and two sacks on the season. Those numbers are quite a bit lower than many of the other top players at the edge position. He is still a young prospect at just 20 years of age until September of 2026. That upside, paired with his ability as a run defender, is why he is still likely to be drafted during the top half of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
24. Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
McDonald was one of the best run stuffing defensive tackles in college football. He can absorb double teams and hold the point of attack. While he doesn’t provide much as a pass rusher, he can push the pocket with power on the interior. Teams will know exactly what they are getting with McDonald as a run defender.

— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 18, 2026
25. TJ Parker, DE, Clemson
Parker came into this season considered one of the best players in this draft class. He did not have nearly the same splash play production he did during the 2024 season. In 2024, he had 11 sacks and six forced fumbles. This year, those numbers went down to 5 sacks and 0 forced fumbles on the season. He has still been able to generate pressure at a high rate. He ended the season with a 28.6% win rate on true pass sets.
26. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Boston has great size at 6’4” and 209 pounds. He is much more than just a contested catch guy, though. He displays toughness over the middle of the field, possesses strong hands, and is more athletic than expected for his size. He even returned punts for the Huskies.

27. Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Lomu was only a redshirt sophomore this year. He is an advanced technician for his age. He has a natural kick slide and blocks well on the second level. He isn’t nearly as good of a run defender as his teammate Fano, but he is further along in pass protection.
28. Akheem Mesidor, DE, Miami
Mesidor will be turning 25 during draft month this year. That combined with injuries are the reasons he isn’t higher on this list. Mesidor is a dominant pass rusher. He had a 36.3% win rate on true pass sets during the season. That led to him recording 12.5 sacks on the year. He is a physical finisher in the backfield, has the versatility to play up and down the line, and a dynamic first step off the snap.
Akheem Mesidor vs. Texas A&M
— Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) February 18, 2026
**Trending toward not making it out of the first round. Medicals at the combine next week still need checked off, but he should be an immediate pass rush contributor wherever he ends up. https://t.co/JfUFmZfUpopic.twitter.com/PKGGlLVOMs
29. Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana
Cooper has a knack for making big plays, including his game-winning reception against Penn State this past season. While Cooper will likely be primarily a slot wide receiver, he has the ability to be one of the top two targets for a team. He knows how to get open, is shifty running after the catch, and consistently finds his way to the end zone.
30. Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama
Proctor is a good athlete overall for his size, but his foot speed off the snap against speed rushers gives me concerns. Listed at close to 370 pounds, he also needs to lose some weight for durability purposes. I have compared him to the mountain from Game of Thrones. He can get beat with speed, has massive size, and needs to get his hands on you to be effective. He did finish strong for Alabama the second half of the season. I imagine someone takes the swing on his rare traits before the end of the first round.
31. Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee
Hood spent a season at Auburn, a season at Colorado, and his final one playing for Tennessee. Hood is sticky in coverage, has good awareness playing zone, and impressive closing speed. He could sneak his way into the bottom of the first round.

+ Press-man physicality
– Doesn’t have an abundance… pic.twitter.com/dScGSIsOKU
32. Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech
A big bodied nose tackle prospect, Hunter comes in at 6’4” and around 330 pounds. The durability is incredible for a player with his size. He has played over 500 snaps in each of the last three seasons. Even though he isn’t overly explosive as a pass rusher, he still had a 17.5% win rate on true pass sets as a defensive tackle. He is a high level run defender. His 11.9% stop rate on the season was behind only Kayden McDonald defensive tackle prospects in this draft class.
33. R Mason Thomas, DE, Oklahoma
Thomas is an undersized pass rusher from Oklahoma. He may ultimately be limited to just a defensive pass-rush specialist role in the NFL. Those players are still valuable. He has tremendous explosiveness off the snap, bend around the edge, and closing speed to chase down the quarterback or running back. He had a 35.1% win-rate on true pass sets during the 2025 season, which was among the highest in the country.

**Do you think Thomas makes it out of the first round? pic.twitter.com/wMUXd1EZUU
34. KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
Concepcion is a dynamic weapon as a returner, receiver down the field, and on screens and reverses. Basically, get the ball in his hands and let him go to work. The transfer from North Carolina State was tremendous for the Aggies in 2025. He had over 900 yards with 9 touchdowns on the season.
35. Cashius Howell, DE, Texas A&M
Howell was solid in 2024 for the Aggies after transferring from Bowling Green. With the departures of Shemar Stewart and Nic Scourton to the NFL, he took on a starring role on the defense. He had 11.5 sacks on the year. He has an array of pass rush moves, a lightning-quick first step, and is relentless in pursuit of the quarterback. There will be some concern about his sub-31” arm length. I think he can be an outlier in that aspect; he is just too talented as a pass rusher not to be impactful at the next level.
Cashius Howell vs. Arkansas

**If Howell falls to pick #41 the Bengals should be very interested. Wouldn’t fit their normal size profile but would give them legitimate pass rush juice. https://t.co/UL0q40n8Ovpic.twitter.com/9n67Sg6j8Q
36. Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Iheanachor had an impressive Senior Bowl week. He has an athletic background, as a former basketball and soccer player growing up. He has a finishing mentality, blocks well out in space, and maintains proper pad level for an offensive tackle.
37. Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State
Abney has impressive footwork and change-of-direction ability. He has displayed good ball skills and the ability to smother opposing receivers down the field. He is willing and capable as a run defender. He had an impressive 4.3% missed tackle rate during the 2025 season.

38. Blake Miller, OT, Clemson
Has played over 3,600 snaps at offensive tackle for Clemson. He has over 34” arm length, a finishing mentality, and posted a 9.94 relative athletic score at the NFL Scouting Combine this year. Miller should be a plug-and-play starter at right tackle, and in this draft class he could end up going before the end of the first round.
39. D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana
Ponds is listed at just 5’9” and 170 pounds. You wouldn’t know it based on how he plays the game. He is a physical hitter in run support, that consistently puts his body on the line and delivers punishment. He has matched up with some of the top receivers and come out on top in most of those in his two years at Indiana. Ponds had an 89.5 coverage grade with just a 3.0% missed tackle rate during the 2025 season.

40. Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon
Pregnon transferred to Oregon from USC ahead of his final season of college football. It was a wise decision, as he played the best football of his young career. Pregnon is a high-level pass protector with awareness against stunts and blitzes, active hands, and quick feet. He allowed just five pressures the entire season, including the playoffs.
41. Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas
Hill is a versatile player in the front seven. He can line up at off-ball linebacker or play on the edge. In three seasons at Texas, he accumulated 17 sacks. He is relentless in pursuit and a physical finisher. While coverage has not been his best attribute, he did show improvement in that area this season.

42. Caleb Banks, DT, Florida
Banks was out injured for the majority of the 2025 season. He has shown what type of disruptive presence he can be from the interior when healthy. In 2024 against LSU, Banks recorded nine pressures. The following week against Ole Miss, he added another six. Those are incredible numbers for any pass rusher, let alone a defensive tackle. He gives tremendous effort for a guy who is 6’6” and 334 pounds. He moves well at that size, as well. This is a high-risk, high-reward type of prospect. Teams will have to feel comfortable with his medical evaluations on his foot.
43. Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee
Brazzell has great length at 6’5”. He is a big-play weapon down the field with his ball tracking, body control, straight-line speed, and size. Unlike some previous wide receivers from Tennessee who were strictly downfield weapons, Brazzell can actually run crisp routes and be a weapon in the intermediate game.

44. Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State
Johnson has great hip fluidity to quickly change direction and break on the football. He had an unreal 92.4 coverage grade in 2025. He allowed just a 41.9% completion rate against him, recorded 4 interceptions, and had only a 5.6% missed tackle rate in 2025.
45. Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State
Wheatley has good size at 6’3” and 201 pounds. He is extremely effective against the run due to his instincts and range. Zakee has been highly productive, has played over 2,100 snaps during his career, and never recorded a penalty in college. For teams that miss out on Caleb Downs and need a safety, Wheatley should be in the mix with McNeil-Warren and Thieneman for who comes off the board next.

46. Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina
Cisse transferred to South Carolina from North Carolina State ahead of the 2025 season. He is one of the faster corners in the nation. He allowed just a 47.4% completion rate against him on the season. That ability to cover one-on-one is the biggest reason he sneaks into my top 50.
47. Chris Bell Jr., WR, Louisville
My biggest question entering the season was how would Bell respond to being the number one wide receiver in the offense? He passed that test with flying colors. Having amassed over 900 receiving yards prior to tearing his ACL in December. His size at 6’2”, 227 pounds, combined with game-breaking top-end speed, shows a player with tremendous upside. He still needs to fine-tune the intricacies of playing receiver, but the tools are there. The injury does cloud his draft projection.

48. Malachi Lawrence, DE, UCF
Lawrence was highly impressive for UCF in 2025. He had 7 sacks, but even more than that, he generated pressure at an extremely high rate. He had a 34.7% win rate on true pass sets. Lawrence was spectacular at the NFL Scouting Combine. He had a 40” vertical jump, a 10 ft. 10 in. broad jump, and ran a 4.52 40-yard dash at 253 pounds. Lawrence could end up going even higher than where I currently have him ranked when all is said and done.
49. Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma
The more tape I watch of Halton, the more I can see him being the pick in the second round for the Cincinnati Bengals. Halton has been productive with 8.5 sacks over the past two seasons, had a 10.2% stop rate as a run defender this year, and shows impressive quickness off the snap for an interior defensive lineman.
Gracen Halton is one of my personal favorite defensive tackles in this class. Top 50 is possible. Curious to see how he tests next week. pic.twitter.com/TlbyxAG3pU

50. Chase Bisontis, OG, Texas A&M
Bisontis is quick out of his stance, appears to be a good athlete on tape, and has allowed just one sack in the past two years. The 6’6” and 330 pound guard prospect is most likely to be selected on day two of the draft this year.
