The latest update of my 2026 NFL Draft big board has arrived, and you can find it right here. We are quickly approaching the main event, and before we know it, Commissioner Goodell will be calling names. The Senior Bowl, combine, and pro day journey has provided just enough clarity to start separating legitimate risers from temporary buzz. At the same time, said clarity also exposed a few players who may have been a bit too comfortable in earlier versions of the big board. This form of the board isn’t about dramatic overreactions; it’s about tightening ranges, rewarding real momentum, and preparing for the final stretch before draft week inevitably shakes things up once more.
You can expect to see updates to my big board each week between now and the draft, so dial in and keep checking back for the latest.

NFL Draft Big Board 2026 v6.0 Updates of Note
All Grit, All Heart, All Fight
Few players jumped up more in the v6.0 update than Jadarian Price, who rockets up 33 spots and now lands at No. 60 overall. The Notre Dame running back had some hype due to his solid 2025 season backing up Jeremiyah Love, but fell after a lackluster combine. I’ve come full circle now and boosted him up the board.
Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price‘s main selling point as the likely RB2?
Being the backup to the unanimous RB1, Jeremiyah Love, left so much good tread on Price’s NFL tires.
He’s averaged < 100 rushes a year his three years, but boasts a beastly 6.0 YPC.

Joining Price on the boom train is Illinois defensive end Gabe Jacas, now No. 61 overall after jumping 22 spots himself. He has the disruptive traits the NFL covets, and he’s starting to gain some helium.
Meanwhile, Caleb Tiernan (OT, Northwestern) makes one of the most notable leaps on the board, climbing 21 spots to No. 45. Tiernan’s steady improvement and projectable offensive line profile have turned him into a player that evaluators are becoming increasingly comfortable betting on.
What Goes Up, Might Come Down
Of course, every NFL Draft big board update requires a bit of gravity. Some go up, which means others end up on a downward trajectory. Iowa tackle and “My guy,” Gennings Dunker, slides 12 spots to No. 40 as the offensive line cluster continues to reshuffle behind the top tier. It’s also worth noting that it’s increasingly looking like he will have to move inside on the offensive line.

Georgia Bulldogs’ DT Christen Miller experiences a more significant dip, falling 26 spots to No. 57. The depth of the defensive interior group becomes more apparent the more I dive into the film. Buckeye Kayden McDonald (DT, Ohio St.) rounds out the biggest fallers, dropping 32 spots to No. 58 as the board continues to recalibrate the order of a very competitive defensive line class.
None of these movements is catastrophic, but unfortunately, as the NFL big board continues to saturate, some good players will fall.
Always Shifting
As per usual, this update serves as another checkpoint rather than the final destination. With the draft rapidly approaching, expect continued minor adjustments as team needs become clearer and my final evaluations are completed. My rankings and tiers are taking shape, the debates are getting louder, and the margins are narrowing, which is exactly how this part of the process should feel.
Big Board v6.0 sets the stage for what should be one more meaningful update before draft night arrives. In the meantime, see you back here next week for the latest movements.
