Pick 56: Nate Boerkircher, TE, Texas A&M

Throughout his college career, Boerkircher’s role in the passing game was fairly small. In five seasons, he totaled just 38 receptions, 19 of which came this past season. With those targets in 2025, Boerkircher averaged 10.4 yards per catch with three scores. The bulk of his snaps came as a blocker, where he ranked 22nd out of all tight ends last season in PFF’s run-blocking grade.

Pick 81: Albert Regis, IDL, Texas A&M

Regis was one of Pro Football Focus’s higher-rated run defenders in each of the last two seasons. Among all defensive tackles last season, he also ranked tied for 10th in run stop rate as well.

Pick 88: Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon

This past season, Pregnon was one of Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded run-blockers at the guard position, and he was excellent in pass protection as well, allowing just one sack and five pressures over 471 pass-blocking snaps.

Pick 100: Jalen Huskey, DB, Maryland

Last season, Huskey allowed a completion rate when targeted of 65%, but held pass-catchers to only 7.4 yards per reception. He also logged 11 interceptions over three seasons with six pass breakups, showcasing impressive ball production. Huskey lined up all over the secondary.

Pick 119: Wesley Williams, DE, Duke

Williams has been a productive pass rusher the last two seasons, totaling 43 pressures in 2024 and 46 pressures in 2025, along with 13 total sacks. He was also one of PFF’s highest graded run defenders at the defensive end position.

Pick 164; Tanner Koziol, TE, Houston

Koziol is an experienced player, with 2,496 career offensive snaps under his belt. This season, his first at Houston, he took on a much larger role as a blocker, filling that role on nearly 60% of his snaps. Koziol remained very active in the pass game, however, totaling 94 targets. He was reliable as well, hauling in 79% of those passes for 727 yards with six touchdowns.

Pick 191: Josh Cameron, WR, Baylor

Cameron spent five seasons at Baylor and was a big part of the passing game the last two seasons, totaling 177 targets. For his career, he caught 170 of his 261 targets, good for a catch rate of 65%, while averaging 13.1 yards per catch with 19 touchdowns — all of which occurred over the last two seasons. The bulk of his snaps have come lined up out wide. At 220 pounds, Cameron did grade out well as a run-blocker last season by PFF’s metrics. He was also a productive punt returner, with 45 career attempts, which includes averaging nearly 21 yards per return in 2024.

Pick 203: CJ Williams, WR, Stanford

After two seasons at Wisconsin, where he had 63 total targets during that span, Williams went to Stanford and took on a huge role in the offense, catching 64% of his 92 targets, while averaging 12.7 yards per catch with six touchdowns.

Pick 233: Zach Durfee, DE, Washington

The 2025 season was a breakout year for Durfee, who produced 35 pressures after having only 10 the season prior. Behind that production was Durfee’s ability to win quickly, ranking 11th in pass rush win rate among defensive ends.

Pick 240: Parker Hughes, LB, Middle Tennessee State

Hughes has played 1,910 career defensive snaps over four seasons at Middle Tennessee State. He’s been a sound tackler and graded out well against the run by PFF’s metrics this past season. In coverage, he held opponents to under 10 yards per catch, coming away with two interceptions and three pass breakups.
