Draft Countdown

2026 NFL Draft Rankings are updated by Shane P. Hallam as needed throughout the season and offseason. If you want more in depth reasoning for rankings, tweet him @ShanePHallam. See his 2024 and 2025 Rankings as well for insight into those NFL Draft classes. This is built as a combination of players who have played early and done well vs. high recruits who are highly athletic and could break out in the next few years. Ultimately, these will change often over time as more is learned, especially with the quarterbacks like Dante Moore, Malachi Nelson, etc who have not had suitable playing time for a full assessment yet. Stay tuned to Draft Countdown for years to come to ensure you get the updates and new boards years into the future. Here is the 2026 Big Board.
