6) Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (6-3, 206)*

Moore leapt toward the top of the draft board this year after starting five games as a true freshman for UCLA in 2023 and backing up Dillon Gabriel last season in Eugene. He’s a pocket passer who spins the ball when set (even when changing his arm angle) but also displays touch while placing throws between defensive levels. Not a true running quarterback, Moore can pick up yards with his legs, elude rushers in the backfield and whip passes to receivers on the move. Better defenses (see: Indiana, Iowa) showed Moore must speed up his process to prevent taking sacks and allowing defenders to reach his targets before the ball arrives.

7) Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (6-3, 195)*

Ohio State’s receiver pipeline to the NFL continues with Tate, a smooth mover who glides past defenders for big plays downfield. His combination of height, long speed and subtle movements in the open field makes him a tough cover. Tate’s routes are accurate and slick, leaving corners behind to provide a big target for his quarterback. He tracks the ball well over his shoulder, regularly wins contested catches and possesses a phenomenal catch radius and strong balance, stretching high and wide for off-target throws.

8) Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas (6-7, 312)*

The great, great nephew of Pro Football Hall of Famer Dick “Night Train” Lane may not have much experience, but the sky’s the limit on his NFL potential. He possesses the lateral agility, balance and natural bend to stop pass rushers in their tracks as well as reach linebackers in space. Goosby’s still-growing frame belies his ability to widen his base and anchor in pass protection. While not fully matured as a run blocker, the redshirt sophomore shows the willingness to lean on tackles and finish against ends 3 or 4 yards downfield.

9) Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (6-2, 208)*

Simpson has more than proven himself this season after sitting for three years behind Jalen Milroe and Bryce Young. Like most young quarterbacks, Simpson makes mistakes under pressure and tries to fit passes into thimble-sized windows. But he possesses the toughness and skills of a coach’s son; his father, Jason, has led Tennessee-Martin football for 20 years. Simpson affects defenders with his eyes, avoids traffic within the pocket and steps forward to zip passes to targets. His athleticism is valuable on bootlegs and scrambles, and he’s able to square his shoulders and reset his feet when throwing on the move.

10) Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU (6-0, 190)

Delane transferred from Virginia Tech for his senior year to become the next great LSU defensive back to hit the NFL. After giving up several big plays with the Hokies in 2024, he’s been the stopper scouts wanted to see this year. The Maryland native could be the lone senior taken in the top 10 because he possesses prototypical size and length, as well as excellent foot quickness to stay with receivers on various routes. Delane finds the ball in the air, too, intercepting eight passes and breaking up 19 others in his career.
