NFL Draft, NFL Free Agency, NFL Offseason, NFL Trades

Most improved position groups across the 2026 NFL offseason:

Over the past few months, we’ve extensively talked about the NFL Draft and the players selected by each team – most recently as part of my month-long divisional draft and roster review video series – to go with some thoughts on free agency. At this point of the calendar, we’ve largely reached the end of the roster acquisition period, and it’s time to make some overarching statements.

The purpose of this exercise is to draw conclusions one more time, but from more of a large-scale view, and outline the position groups that were improved the most through all these different avenues, also including trades. This is based on what each roster looked like following week 18, not taking injuries into account, whether those affected who were actually available at that time or those who may linger into this upcoming season.

Once again, the idea here is to talk about these units in a more comprehensive sense, rather than simply pointing at a singular player who might change the feel of those.

This is what I came up with:

Undrafted free agents from 2026 who could make an early impact:

About a week-and-a-half away from the actual draft, I went back to one of my favorite exercises of the year, highlighting ten names who weren’t among the 257 that actually got a call over the course of those three days, but could be meaningful players in the NFL.

These aren’t necessarily the guys I had ranked highest in my individual rankings, but rather considering the landing spots and how these names within the depth chart potentially, who I believe have a real path to playing snaps this season. Expecting any of them to start at any point as rookies would be unrealistic, but recently nearly two UDFAs made it through final roster cuts for all 32 teams (57 each these last two years).

Here are a few I believe could be next:

Recapping the entire 2026 NFL Draft:

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and it’s time review everything that happened. We all knew Fernando Mendoza would be the first name off the board, but then we had multiple surprise picks over the first half of night one especially. Day two was marked by a couple of head-scratching tight-end selections and only one running back hearing his name called (and certainly not the one we expected). And thankfully, it only took for the first selection of Saturday for the slide of potential top-ten pick Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy to finally come to end, due to his uncertain medical situation, before LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier only just got drafted at the very end, as the tenth quarterback off the board, in a weak class otherwise.

As always, I will recap the action with four categories – the biggest winners and losers, steals and reaches of the draft. These opinions are based on my personal evaluations, in combination with consensus boards, analyzing roster construction and the situations of veteran players, who may be significantly affected by the picks that were made. Players who reportedly fell largely due to injury concerns may only be limited as honorable mentions in the “steals” category.

Let’s dive in:
