The 2026 NFL draft is still roughly five months away. But our NFL draft analysts are always looking down the road, taking early notes on top prospects and starting to stack their rankings for an exciting class.
With that in mind, Mel Kiper Jr., Miller and Jordan Reid will size up CFB action through a draft-centric lens on Sundays all season long. (Save this link!) They will answer lingering questions on the best 2026 prospects, share insights from scouts, pick out risers to watch and pull back the curtain on their evaluation process. Here is what they’ve seen and heard through Week 12.

Ohio State’s Carnell Tate would also be a contender to push up the board, but he too was out on Saturday with an undisclosed injury. And while I remain the president of the Germie Bernard Fan Club, the Alabama wideout is too much of a gadget player to be considered a true WR1. Right now, it feels like the crown is Tyson’s to carry wire-to-wire this season, but Lemon’s strong game against a well-coached Hawkeyes defense does move the needle.

Reid: Fun game to be at this week, and I continued to be impressed with Georgia wideout Zachariah Branch. He had six catches for 41 yards against Texas, including a 30-yard reception that showed his quickness. Branch was able to circle the defense with ease, as his sudden movement skills can put a lot of stress on coverages.
Coming into this game, Branch was averaging only 3.2 air yards per target, as the Bulldogs offense has looked to the 5-foot-10, 180-pounder mainly on quick-hitting passes and screens. I believe that he is capable of much more. He also provides value as a return specialist, which will help him contribute right away at the next level. I have a top-75, third-round grade on him right now, but Branch could definitely sneak into Round 2.
“He needs to get into a system with a better offensive line and some real route combos,” an AFC East area scout said.
Kiper: I’m very interested in how an NFL defensive coordinator will use LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. We saw his talent Saturday against Arkansas, as he had a sack and an interception. He can bring pressure off the edge, showing great bend and closing speed. I see DB-level speed at the second level, too. And on the INT, Perkins read the quarterback perfectly and broke on the ball. But the missed tackles are still an issue, and they could hold the 6-foot-1, 222-pound playmaker back.
Perkins had a fantastic start to his career, but a knee injury robbed him of most of 2024. He has been solid in 2025, and I think an NFL team will jump on him in the third or fourth round because of his versatility.
Reid: Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love is special. He had another great performance against Pitt, with 23 carries for 147 yards and a TD. That included a ridiculous spin move en route to a 56-yard score, which showcased his quickness and ability to make defenders miss in space. How high could Love be drafted? His versatile skill set is a perfect fit in today’s game, and he could easily get picked in the top 12.

Reid: Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion is another name that should be thrown into the WR1 mix. In his first season with the Aggies, he has turned into one of the most dynamic targets in the country. Concepcion finished with seven catches for 158 yards against South Carolina and flashed as a playmaker. Scouts are enamored with Concepcion as a potential top-50 pick, but he does need to catch the ball more consistently. He has six drops (and dropped a TD on Saturday) this season.
