Lance Zierlein 2026 NFL Mock Draft 2.1: Two CBs in Top Five; Combine Star Sonny Styles Cracks Top 10 In his latest 2026 NFL mock draft, Lance Zierlein of NFL.com has unveiled the top five picks for the upcoming draft, with a pair of cornerbacks making an early exit from the board. The first overall selection goes to the Carolina Panthers, who opt for the highly touted cornerback Cam Smith out of South Carolina. Smith's impressive combine performance and dominant tape led many experts to project him as a top pick, and Zierlein agrees. "Cam Smith is a game-changer," said the NFL draft analyst. "He has the size, speed, and ball skills to dominate at the next level." The second overall selection belongs to the Houston Texans, who select another cornerback in the form of Devon Witherspoon out of Illinois. Witherspoon's impressive combine performance, including a blazing 40-yard dash time, convinced Zierlein that he was worthy of the high pick. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears land Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. at No. 3 overall, with Zierlein noting that Anderson's elite athleticism and instincts make him an ideal fit for Vic Fangio's defense. The Philadelphia Eagles take Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel at No. 4, a move that Zierlein believes will pay dividends in the long run.

Will Bills Trade Keon Coleman? Latest NFL Rumors on WR Ahead of 2026 NFL Draft The Buffalo Bills are reportedly considering trading wide receiver Keion Coleman ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, according to multiple sources. The move would come as a surprise given Coleman's solid performance in his first season with the team, but it seems the Bills are looking to shake things up and improve their receiving corps. Coleman, who was acquired by the Bills from the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, caught 45 passes for 644 yards and three touchdowns in his first year with Buffalo. His production was a welcome addition to an offense that has struggled at times to find consistency. However, it seems the Bills are willing to part ways with Coleman due to concerns about his durability and ability to contribute consistently over the course of a full season. Coleman missed several games last season due to injuries, including a stint on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury. The rumors surrounding Coleman's availability have sparked interest among other NFL teams, who see him as a potential trade target ahead of the draft. The Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints are said to be among the teams showing interest in Coleman, although nothing is imminent at this point. It remains to be seen what the Bills will ultimately decide to do with Coleman, but it's clear that his future with the team is uncertain. With the 2026 NFL draft just around the corner, the Bills may look to use their first-round pick on a wide receiver to complement Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. As for Coleman, he'll be hoping to remain with the Bills and prove himself as a reliable target in the process.

NFL Insider Notebook: Maxx Crosby Trade Buzz Grows, Plus Kyler Murray's Next Team and Mike Evans' Market The NFL offseason is heating up, and the latest trade rumors have the league buzzing. One of the most intriguing stories involves Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, who has been linked to a potential trade with the Chicago Bears. According to sources close to the situation, the Bears are indeed interested in acquiring Crosby's services, and it's not hard to see why. The 26-year-old pass rusher has developed into one of the premier edge defenders in the league, racking up 18.5 sacks over the past two seasons. Chicago's struggling defense could use a boost, and Crosby would be an excellent addition. However, it's unclear if the Raiders are willing to part with their talented defensive end. Crosby is under contract for three more seasons, and the team may not want to lose him without getting something significant in return. The Bears will have to make a compelling offer to pry him away from Las Vegas. In other news, Kyler Murray's future is still up in the air. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback has been linked to several teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, and even the San Francisco 49ers. While there's no indication that Murray will be traded anytime soon, it's clear that he'll have options if he decides to test free agency. Murray's market is expected to be strong, with multiple suitors likely vying for his services. The Cardinals are trying to re-sign their star quarterback, but they may not be able to meet his asking price.

Highest-graded cornerbacks from the 2025 NFL season: Devon Witherspoon takes the No. 1 spot The 2025 NFL season has come to a close, and with it, the grading of each player's performance is complete. One position that saw some incredible performances was cornerback, with several players standing out above the rest. Among them, one man emerged as the top dog: Devon Witherspoon. Witherspoon, a rookie corner for the Chicago Bears, has been making waves all season long. His impressive play earned him a Pro Bowl selection and now, he can add "highest-graded cornerback" to his resume. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Witherspoon's 2025 campaign was nothing short of remarkable. The young cornerback posted an incredible grade of 94.6, the highest among all cornerbacks in the league this season. His impressive performance didn't go unnoticed, as he allowed just 54.7% of passes thrown his way to be completed, with a passer rating against of just 58.5. These numbers are nothing short of remarkable for a rookie cornerback. But Witherspoon wasn't the only corner to have an impressive season. Other top performers include the Kansas City Chiefs' Trent McDuffie (92.1), the Los Angeles Rams' Cobie Durant (91.9), and the Seattle Seahawks' Tariq Woolen (91.5). These players all had excellent seasons, but none were able to match Witherspoon's incredible level of performance. The 2025 NFL season may be in the books, but the accolades are far from over for Devon Witherspoon. He's sure to be one of the top cornerbacks to watch heading into the 2026 season, and his impressive play has earned him a spot among the all-time greats at the position.#Seattle_Seahawks #Chicago_Bears #Kansas_City_Chiefs #Los_Angeles_Rams #Devon_Witherspoon #Tariq_Woolen #Pro_Football_Focus #Trent_McDuffie #Cobie_Durant
Highest-graded cornerbacks from the 2025 NFL season: Devon Witherspoon takes the No. 1 spot As the dust settles on the just-concluded 2025 NFL regular season, we're taking a closer look at the top performers in various positions. Today's focus is on the highest-graded cornerbacks, and it's no surprise that Chicago Bears' Devon Witherspoon has taken the top spot. Witherspoon's impressive campaign saw him earn an outstanding Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade of 92.4, a staggering 5.1 points higher than his nearest competitor, Miami Dolphins' Xavien Howard. The former Cal Golden Bear's incredible season was marked by his ability to shut down opposing receivers and make game-changing plays. The 2022 first-round pick's impressive metrics include allowing just 45 receptions on 87 targets, good for a 51.7% completion percentage. Furthermore, Witherspoon recorded an astonishing 17 passes defended, which placed him among the top five cornerbacks in this category. Rounding out the top three are Minnesota Vikings' Patrick Peterson and Seattle Seahawks' Tariq Woolen, both of whom earned grades above 88.0. Peterson's steady veteran presence was a stabilizing force for the Vikings' secondary, while Woolen's explosive athleticism made him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks to deal with. Interestingly, it's worth noting that three of the top four cornerbacks on this list are under the age of 25, indicating that the future of the position is bright and in capable hands. As we head into the postseason, it will be fascinating to see how these elite cornerbacks perform in the spotlight. In related news, Witherspoon's dominant season has catapulted him into early MVP discussions, much to the delight of Bears fans w...#Seattle_Seahawks #Chicago_Bears #Miami_Dolphins #Xavien_Howard #Devon_Witherspoon #Patrick_Peterson #Minnesota_Vikings #Tariq_Woolen

In his second iteration of the 2026 mock, Davis sees the Arizona Cardinals selecting Notre Dame running back Tyler Buchner with the first overall pick. Buchner, a dual-threat quarterback-turned-running back, impressed scouts and coaches alike during the NFL Combine, showcasing his impressive speed, power, and elusiveness on the field. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is expected to be one of the top running backs in this year's class, with many projecting him as a first-round pick. The Seattle Seahawks, picking second overall, followed suit by selecting Notre Dame running back Audric Estimé. Like Buchner, Estimé is an electric playmaker who excelled at the Combine, showcasing his acceleration, agility, and receiving skills. The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder is expected to be a significant contributor for the Seahawks in the years to come. The rest of the first round saw the following picks: Jacksonville Jaguars selecting defensive end Will Anderson Jr. from Alabama; Houston Texans taking wide receiver Quentin Johnston from Tulsa; Chicago Bears choosing quarterback Hendon Hooker from Tennessee; and the Indianapolis Colts selecting linebacker Tommy Echols from Miami.
