Round 1
11. Miami Dolphins: CB Mansoor Delane, LSU
Delane’s breakout 2025 season at LSU could make him the first cornerback selected in this class. His 90.7 PFF coverage grade ranked third among qualified FBS cornerbacks, and he allowed just 14 receptions all season. He would aid a Miami unit that ranked 23rd in PFF coverage grade in 2025.
Round 2
33. New York Jets: S A.J. Haulcy, LSU
Round 3
85. Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
