2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Cole Payton

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Cole Payton took a big step forward in 2025 when he finally got the keys to the offense full-time.

He finished the season completing 71.9% of his passes for 2,719 yards, with a 16-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. On top of that, he averaged 12.1 yards per attempt, which tells you he wasn’t just taking easy throws. He was pushing the ball downfield.

What really adds to his profile is what he can do with his legs. He added 777 rushing yards, which shows he’s not just mobile; he’s a real part of the run game.

This was a big jump for him, especially after being used more in a limited role earlier in his career. In 2025, he showed he can handle being the guy.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Emmett Johnson

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Emmett Johnson was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming the 6th running back and 161st overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Emmett Johnson took over the Nebraska backfield in 2025 and didn’t look back. He handled a big workload and produced at a high level, finishing with 1,451 rushing yards on 251 carries (5.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns.

What really stands out is how much he improved over time. His efficiency got better every year, and by his final season, he was clearly the engine of that offense.

He also brought real value in the passing game with 46 catches for 370 yards, and his 15.9% target share shows he wasn’t just a checkdown option. He was a legit part of the offense.

He may not have the typical “bell-cow” size, but the production and usage say this is a player who can handle volume and make an impact in multiple ways.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Michael Trigg

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Michael Trigg signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent (UDFA) following the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Michael Trigg was a big part of the Baylor offense in 2025 and produced like one of the top tight ends in the country.

He finished with 50 catches for 694 yards and 6 touchdowns, which had him near the top of the position in multiple categories. What stands out is how he was used. This wasn’t just short routes and dump-offs.

Trigg’s 13.9 yards per reception highlights his role as a consistent downfield threat, showing he isn’t just a short-yardage safety valve but a player capable of picking up significant chunks of yardage on every catch. On top of that, he forced 17 missed tackles, which tells you he can do something with the ball after the catch.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Kaytron Allen

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Kaytron Allen was drafted by the Washington Commanders, becoming the ninth running back and 187th overall player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Despite having to deal with Nicholas Singleton in the same backfield, Kaytron Allen stayed four seasons at Penn State. Not only that, but he thrived, eventually taking over the lion’s share of the work. After productive freshman and sophomore campaigns, Allen really exploded over his final two seasons, rushing for 2,411 yards and 23 touchdowns in that span. 

What’s impressive about Allen is that he increased his rushing yardage in each season. In doing that, he leaves as the program’s all-time leading rusher. Pretty extraordinary when you think about all the excellent backs that went to school there. Through the air, Allen isn’t agile enough to pick up large chunks, but he does have decent hands for a larger back and reeled in 70 receptions for 490 yards during his collegiate career.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Seth McGowan

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

eth McGowan was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the 12th running back and 237th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Seth McGowan stepped into a lead role at Kentucky in 2025 and handled it like a true workhorse.

He finished with 725 rushing yards on 165 carries (4.4 YPC) and 12 touchdowns, showing he could carry the load and still be a scoring threat.

The yards per carry dipped a bit compared to what you might want to see, but context matters. He was doing it in the SEC against better competition and still found the end zone consistently.

He also brought something in the passing game with a 7.7% target share, which shows he wasn’t just a two-down back. He was part of the offense in multiple ways.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Bryce Lance

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Bryce Lance was drafted by the New Orleans Saints, becoming the 19th wide receiver and 136th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Bryce Lance did not come into college as a guy everyone was talking about right away, but once he got his chance, he made it count.

After barely seeing the field early in his career, Lance put together back-to-back strong seasons at North Dakota State. In 2024, he posted 75 catches for 1,071 yards and 17 touchdowns. Then in 2025, he followed that up with 51 catches for 1,079 yards and 8 touchdowns, while averaging a big-time 21.2 yards per catch.

Oscar Delp

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Oscar Delp

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Coming out of high school, Oscar Delp was the No. 1 tight end prospect in the country. He had offers galore, but stayed close to home and went to Georgia. His first two seasons were spent behind Brock Bowers, but his best statistical season came as a sophomore. That year, he reeled in 24 catches for 284 yards and three touchdowns. 

 

Overall, Delp finished his collegiate career with 70 receptions for 854 yards and nine scores. The limited production is a bit of a concern. That said, we learned at the NFL Combine that Delp played most of his senior year with a foot fracture. Despite the injury, he showed his toughness by playing in all 14 games. 

 

FILM

 

Oscar Delp has acceleration and speed that jumps off the screen. He has a quick burst off the line, using that to get to the second level in a hurry. His speed is also unfair for linebackers trying to cover him. Delp can blow past them down the seam and get deep like few at his position can. He’s also versatile enough that he can be lined up all over the formation, helping create chaos and mismatches.

Ted Hurst

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Ted Hurst

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

h1>Ted Hurst | Georgia State | 6’4”, 206 lbs | Jul 2, 2004 (21 years old)

Ted Hurst was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, becoming the 15th wide receiver and 84th overall player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Despite prototypical size for a receiver, Ted Hurst was a zero-star recruit coming out of high school. He went to the only school that offered him a spot: Valdosta State. There, he caught 60 passes, topped 1,000 yards, and scored 10 touchdowns across two seasons. 

 

Ahead of his junior year, Hurst transferred to Georgia State and started to get noticed. He broke the school record with nine receiving touchdowns in his first season with the Panthers. As a senior, he hauled in 71 receptions for 1,004 yards and end zone trips. Those numbers earned him First-Team All-Sun Belt honors.  

 

FILM

 

Standing at 6’4”, Hurst has great size and knows how to weaponize it. He uses his frame to box out smaller cornerbacks and win contest-catch situations, particularly in the end zone on fade routes. He has strong hands, plucking the ball out of the air with ease. But he’s not just a big-bodied boundary guy. Hurst also possesses a quick first step and has the top-end acceleration to blow past defenders on vertical routes. 

 

For weaknesses, his release package does need some work. Hurst relies too heavily on his footwork, with minimal hand usage. He’ll need to develop that better to avoid getting bogged down in his release. And while he was listed at 185 in college, Hurst did himself a favor and bulked up some to combat press coverage in the pros. At the NFL Combine, he weighed in at 206 pounds, which I’d like to see him stay at to deal with bigger, stronger NFL corners.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Elijah Sarratt

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Sarratt attended Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland. He originally attended Colonial Forge High School before transferring to Saint Frances during his senior year. He committed to play college football at Saint Francis University

Saint Francis

As a freshman, Sarratt totaled 42 receptions for 700 yards and 13 touchdowns. Following the conclusion of the season, he entered the transfer portal.

James Madison

Sarratt transferred to James Madison University, emerging as the team’s leading receiver. He finished his sophomore campaign recording 82 receptions for 1,191 yards and nine total touchdowns, while being named to the first-team All-Sun Belt. Following the conclusion of the season, Sarratt entered the transfer portal for a second time.

Indiana

On January 4, 2024, Sarratt announced that he would be transferring to Indiana University Bloomington to play for the Indiana Hoosiers. In his first season with the Hoosiers, he recorded 53 receptions for 957 yards and eight touchdowns and was named to the third-team All-Big Ten.

Sarratt returned to Indiana for the 2025 season. He scored three touchdowns in the Hoosiers’ 56–9 win against the Kennesaw State Owls. He caught the game-winning touchdown, a 49-yard pass, with 88 seconds left in Indiana’s win against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Sarratt caught eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in an upset win against the Oregon Ducks. He suffered a hamstring injury early in the game against the Maryland Terrapins and missed the following two games. He was named second-team All-Big Ten for the 2025 season

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Max Klare

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

In 2025, Klare earned First-team All Big Ten and was named to the Mackey Award Watch (nation’s top TE) list. Klare is projected to be a 3rd-round selection by NFL Mock Draft Database, and Lance Zierlein has a player comparison of Brenton Strange. 

 

FILM

 

STRENGTHS
Klare is a very athletic, pass-catching tight end capable of earning volume targets at the next level. He has the full route tree and the ability to generate separation across the field. Klare is best from the slot but can widen in appropriate matchup situations. You can tell by watching his tape how loose and athletic he moves, and he has the speed to run past safeties on vertical routes and is able to adjust routes at a high rate of speed. Most impressively, he rarely leaves yards on the field because of his run-after-catch ability. As this past season went on, you could tell he improved his body control and fit accurately on lead pulls. Based on talent, Klare has a chance to inject life into an offense looking for mismatches.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Carson Beck

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Carson Beck was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, becoming the 3rd quarterback and 65th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Carson Beck brought experience and production with him to Miami, and he delivered in 2025.

He threw for 3,813 yards and 30 touchdowns, while completing 72.4% of his passes. That’s high-level efficiency, especially with 468 attempts, which shows he was carrying a real workload.

The 8.2 yards per attempt tells you he wasn’t just living off short throws either. He was pushing the ball when needed and keeping the offense moving.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Ja’Kobi Lane

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Catch Radius & Size: At 6’4″, Lane uses his long frame to excel at high-pointing the ball and shielding defenders.

Contested Catch Specialist: He has strong hands and demonstrates elite focus to secure catches in traffic, often acting as a reliable red-zone threat.

Body Control & Tracking: Lane possesses excellent body control to adjust to inaccurate passes, often relying on “basketball player” style leaping ability.

Route Running Nuance: He shows “suddenness” and cleverness in his routes, specifically on double moves.

Football Intelligence: He understands how to find voids in zone coverage and is considered a highly coachable, high-effort player.

WEAKNESSES 

Separation and Speed: Lane lacks true, blazing vertical speed, which may limit his ability to create consistent separation against top-tier NFL cornerbacks.

Yards After Catch (YAC): He is not a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands, often failing to create extra yardage after the initial catch.

Press Coverage Issues: His leaner frame can lead to struggles against physical cornerbacks who get hands on him at the line of scrimmage.

Consistency: He has had issues with concentration drops.

Route Tree Limitations: Earlier in his career, he operated in a limited route tree, which sometimes forced him to rely on contested catches rather than open space. 

Rookie Guide Updated Banner

ATHLETIC TESTING

Lane tested fairly well at the NFL Combine. He ran a 4.47 40, had a vertical jump of 40 inches, and had a broad jump of 129 inches.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Germie Bernard

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Germie Bernard was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, becoming the 8th wide receiver and 47th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Germie Bernard became a big part of the Alabama passing game in 2025 and showed he could handle real volume in a loaded offense.

He finished with 64 catches for 862 yards and 7 touchdowns, while averaging 13.5 yards per catch. His 21.2% target share also stands out because it shows he was not just a role player. He was someone the offense leaned on.

That matters at Alabama because you are not getting fed unless you earn it.

He may not have the biggest raw numbers in the class, but the production is strong when you factor in the level of competition and the offense he was playing in.

FILM

Germie Bernard wins with polish.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: De’Zhaun Stribling

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

De’Zhaun Stribling was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, becoming the 6th wide receiver and 33rd overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Stribling was a five-year player in college, starting his career at Washington State, where he played his first two seasons. Stribling was a Year 1 producer, nearly hitting 500 receiving yards and five touchdowns as a true freshman. 

He failed to take that next step forward with the Cougars in his sophomore season, transferring to Oklahoma State for the 2023-24 season. He suffered a wrist injury in his first year at Stillwater and missed all but four games that season, ultimately electing to redshirt. 

Stribling broke out in Year 4 as a redshirt junior for the Cowboys, hauling in 52 receptions for 882 yards and six touchdowns. He posted an impressive 25.5% target rate and 2.44 yards per route run that season, both career bests for the young man.

Dynasty Football Factory’s 2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Omar Cooper Jr.

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Omar Cooper Jr. |Indiana |6’0, 199 lbs | 22 Years Old

Omar Cooper Jr. was drafted by the N.Y. Jets, becoming the 5th wide receiver and 30th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Omar Cooper Jr. took a real jump in 2025 and showed he could be more than just a piece of the offense. He became a true go-to target for Indiana and produced like it.

He finished with 69 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns, and what really stands out is how efficiently he was doing it. His 81.4% catch rate is strong, and his 21.3% target share shows the offense trusted him in a big way.

This was not just a guy catching a few schemed-up touches. He was a major part of the passing game and delivered week after week.

The touchdown jump also matters. Finding the end zone 13 times tells you he knows how to get open when the field gets tight and the windows get smaller.

FILM

Omar Cooper Jr. is a big, powerful athlete who plays with a “bully” mentality.

The first thing that jumps out is his initial burst. He has a serious gear right at the start of the play that catches defenders off guard, helping him get downfield in a hurry. While he’s explosive in a straight line, he can look a bit “clunky” or stiff when he has to make sharp turns. He doesn’t always have that smooth, fluid movement you see from smaller guys, but he makes up for it with raw strength.

He plays much bigger than his 6’0″ frame. He’s an explosive leaper who loves to go up and grab the ball out of the air at its highest point. He is extremely comfortable catching the ball while being hit, using his strong hands and sturdy frame to shield defenders away. For a quarterback, he’s a great target because he makes the “throwing window” feel much larger than it actually is.

After the catch, he’s a handful. He runs like a rugged ball carrier, often bouncing off multiple tacklers and fighting for every extra inch. He isn’t just looking to get out of bounds; he’s looking to punish defenders in the open field.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Ty Simpson

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Ty Simpson enters the NFL as a developmental quarterback prospect after being selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Prior to 2025, Simpson did not see much meaningful game action, mostly playing mop-up or relief duties. 

In his 2025 season, his first as Alabama’s starter, Simpson completed 305-of-473 passes (64.5%) for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions across 15 games. He added 93 rushing yards and 2 scores on the ground, but does not profile as a dual-threat for the pros. 

FILM

Simpson operates with excellent rhythm and shows the ability to throw with anticipation, particularly on intermediate routes over the middle. He displays a high football IQ, comfortable navigating complex protections and identifying blitzers pre-snap. While not a dynamic run-threat, he is athletic enough to extend plays and maneuver the pocket to create passing lanes. Despite his strong start to the 2025 season, Simpson’s play toward the end of the season revealed developmental hurdles that NFL coaching will need to address. He displayed a tendency to hold the ball too long, leading to an 18.3% pressure-to-sack rate, which resulted in him taking unnecessary hits rather than utilizing his check-downs or throwing the ball away, and led to overall decreased efficiency. Additionally, his deep-ball accuracy remained inconsistent, and he will need to improve his ability to scan the entire field when his primary progression is taken away by sophisticated zone coverages.
