— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 9, 2026Delane, a cornerback who spent his first three seasons at Virginia Tech, is slotted for No. 8 by the New Orleans Saints in Yahoo Sports’ mock draft. Delane amassed two interceptions, 11 pass deflections, and 28 solo tackles last season.
The Cowboys are projected by Yahoo to select Faulk at No. 12 overall. The edge had two sacks, a fumble recovery, four pass deflections, and 23 solo tackles last season. The cornerback Hood is also tabbed for the Dallas Cowboys at the No. 20 selection. Hood had an interception, forced fumble, eight pass deflections, and 34 solo tackles last season.
Yahoo Sports has Proctor going No. 24 to the Cleveland Browns. The massive offensive lineman particularly excelled in run blocking, which Yahoo notes could be beneficial for the Browns.
Simpson is projected by Yahoo Sports to be selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 31 pick. Simpson passed for 3,567 yards with 28 touchdowns and five interceptions last season.
Last season, the SEC had a staggering 15 first-round picks, beginning with LSU offensive lineman to the New England Patriots at No. 4 overall.
