The Browns will also be starting two rookie receivers, KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston
Omar Cooper to be 1st on the depth chart
trading back up into the first round to get receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at no. 30. Each of these players should be an immediate starter

- PendingDaire CarragherDepth Chart Calls2026 season
John Henry Daley to be 1st on the depth chart
He aligned over left tackles on 92.4% of his snaps last season, so assuming Michigan keeps him in a similar role, we'll get a full afternoon of reps against one of the draft's premier offensive tackle prospects.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
And when Fernando Mendoza eventually takes over, there's no better security blanket for a rookie than targeting Bowers.
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
The third-year running back will split time with Kyren Williams to open the season ... Even with a 60-40 split in Williams' favor
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Kirk Cousins, who will likely start Week 1 for the Raiders
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
The Falcons could be forced to start Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback in Week 1 while Michael Penix Jr. continues to rehab his knee.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 C.J. Daniels to be 4th on the depth chart
The Rams have open WR3 and WR4 jobs behind Nacua and Adams, and you can't count out the rookie from sliding into one of those spots eventually.
Malachi Fields to be 1st on the depth chart
The big-bodied receiver has impressed to the point where he might be a starter if the season began today.
Antonio Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart
Williams easily could earn a steady role, and it appears that only Luke McCaffrey firmly stands between the rookie and a starting spot.
Denzel Boston to be 1st on the depth chart
it might not be shocking if Boston ends up as Cleveland's WR1 — even with Jerry Jeudy and 2026 first-rounder KC Concepcion on the roster
