Unlock the Secret Twist in the Story You Thought You Knew!
Interior Defensive Line Depth is Weak
While the quarterback drought is well-documented, the lack of depth in the 2026 draft class extends to the backfield and the interior defensive line. But while the running back pool is shallow, it’s anchored by Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame) and some intriguing players who could go throughout the second and third rounds on Day 2.
The interior defensive line, by contrast, is a desert for both talent and depth.
Florida’s Caleb Banks is the only prospect who truly moves the needle, even after a foot injury sidelined him for most of the 2025 season. When healthy, Banks is elite: His combined 2024-25 metrics (21.17% pressure rate and 23.18% run disruption rate) rank No. 1 in this draft class and would have put him in the top tier of the 2025 group.
