Round 1, Pick #11: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

“A fast riser in the 2026 draft conversation, Brandon Cisse has steadily gained attention after a strong 2025 season, and the expectation is that he’ll test well athletically leading up to the draft. That momentum could put him squarely in play around the No. 11 pick, where the Miami Dolphins may be searching for additional help in the secondary.

Cisse’s tape shows a cornerback who combines physical competitiveness with encouraging instincts in coverage. Playing for South Carolina, he posted a PFSN CB Impact grade of 80.9 in 2025 while consistently challenging receivers at the catch point and natural reaction skills to stay connected downfield, along with the confidence to play aggressively in tight coverage.”

Teams will be willing to take a chance on Cisse’s explosive athleticism and upside, but a refinement runway might be needed to smooth some of the rougher edges. He’s scheme-versatile in coverage and is an A-rated run supporter. Work ethic and athletic testing will work in his favor. However, a lack of instincts and break anticipation could cost him in coverage against quality route runners. His press will become a more effective weapon with technical work and his route recognition should improve with more reps. Cisse’s traits and competitiveness are clear selling points, but a lack of on-ball production and coverage consistency create a more volatile floor.

Strengths

  • Explosive athletic ability.
  • Has length and strength to become more disruptive in press.
  • Sits on short routes and squeezes work space from off-man.
  • Quick dig-and-trigger to the throw from the top of his drop.
  • Imposes size on catch point when he’s tight in coverage.
  • Long speed to stay in-phase with deep routes.
  • Supports the run like a box safety.
  • Beats blockers with quickness and meets runners at or near the line.

Weaknesses

  • Below-average in route recognition and break matching from off.
  • Struggles to find playmaking positioning with back to the ball.
  • Below-average tracking and adjustments on downfield 50/50 balls.
  • Needs to more consistently read/react to quarterback’s eyes/operation.
  • Ordinary career production on the ball.

Round 2, Pick #43: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson

Blake Miller has emerged as one of the most explosive and technically polished offensive linemen in the 2026 class. Miller projects as a versatile, high-floor starter who can impact both the run and pass from day one.”

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Ultimate iron man at right tackle with 54 career starts. Miller has unusual lateral quickness and fluidity in space despite playing too upright. His hands lack accuracy and command in both phases, but he can recover and make blocks with a finisher’s mindset. Miller is rarely beaten by rush games, but he has his edges attacked because of his hand issues. He will encounter difficulties at the next level without better pad level, core strength and cleaner technique. If he tightens up in those areas, Miller can become a solid NFL right tackle.

Strengths

  • Possesses long arms, big hands and quick feet.
  • Fluid and accurate working to linebackers on combo blocks.
  • Snap quickness beats defender’s leverage on play-side and back-side zone blocks.
  • More frame-striker than body-catcher on angle blocks.
  • Able to pull across formation with timing to land a blow.
  • Springs into pass sets with a long initial kick slide.
  • High awareness to twists and games, with pitcher/catcher timing on pass-offs.
  • Feet stay active and slide to mirror rush to the top.
  • Scrambles and recoverers thanks to above-average agility.

Weaknesses

  • Unsteady footwork robs him of contact balance.
  • Lunges into contact with upper body instead of well-placed hands.
  • Tall pads and average core strength lead to him being tossed off-balance by force.
  • Hand usage in both phases is often wide, wild and slippery on contact.
  • Inconsistent connection between hands and feet in pass pro.
  • Needs to keep feet closer to the ground to avoid being caught and driven mid-shuffle.
  • Rushers eliminate his outside hand by using basic swipes and wrist control.

Round 3, Pick #75: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Williams is a bona fide ball player with good size and an ability to make mischief when he totes the pigskin. There is freestyling inside his routes that create uncertainty for corners but teams might drill down on attention to detail and better efficiency to keep him on schedule. He’s not a field-stretcher but he plays fast from snap to whistle and has the ball skills to bring in challenging catches. He’s more slippery than explosive with outstanding run-after-catch ability. Williams projects as a productive slot receiver with legitimate run/pass/catch talent that should appeal to creative play-callers.

Strengths

  • Consistently productive in four seasons at Clemson.
  • Possesses rare ability to throw, catch, run and return punts.
  • Sauces up defenders with fakes and tempo changes.
  • Works the middle of the field and has a good feel for soft spots in zone.
  • Wiggle-and-go to turn hitches/screens into first downs.
  • Running back’s vision and cut quickness with ball in his hands.
  • Stabs and tucks off-frame throws with cat-quick hands.
  • Loose and fluid making in-air adjustments to win jump balls.

Weaknesses

  • Lost games to nagging injuries in 2023 and 2025.
  • Rarely pressed and needs to prove he can beat it.
  • Not a deep hip-sinker for tight turns in his routes.
  • Lacks top-end speed to stretch defense from the slot.
  • Average burst to separate getting out of breaks.
  • Route work will need to become more efficient and focused.

Round 4, Pick #111: Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke
