The 2026 NFL Draft will kick off in Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 23, and will run through Saturday, April 25.
This year figures to be a bit of a down year for the SEC in terms of players going in Round 1, but there should still be plenty of SEC talent hearing their names called over the 7-round event.
On Wednesday, NFL.com analyst Eric Edholm updated his big board, which ranks the top 100 prospects in the draft. He included 37 former SEC standouts in this updated list.
LSU’s Mansoor Delane leads the way as the only SEC player in the top 10. Here’s a look at all 37 SEC guys and where they stand:
- No. 8 — Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
- No. 13 — Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
- No. 15 — Kadyn Proctor, OL, Alabama

Interestingly, Ole Miss is the only SEC team that doesn’t have a top-100 draft prospect, even though the Rebels made a deep run in the College Football Playoff this past year.
Of course, if Trinidad Chambliss hadn’t been granted an extra year of eligibility by a court, perhaps he’d be in the top 100. Either way, we’ll see how things play out for the SEC later this month.
