The Commanders selected Gulbin in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 209th overall.

Gulbin (6-foot-4, 305 pounds) started at center for Michigan State in 2025 but started at guard for the two years prior at Wake Forest. Gulbin is a poor athlete by interior lineman standards and has poor reach (31 and 3/4-inch arms), so he projects as a career backup despite his quality collegiate play at Michigan State and Wake Forest over the last three years.

The Falcons selected Thompson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 208th overall.

Thompson spent two years at junior college before making stops at Iowa, Western Michigan and Washington over his final three seasons. He started just three games in 2025 and finished with 30 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. It's concerning that he wasn't a full-time starter in his fifth collegiate season, but Thompson has the raw tools (4.73 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 306 pounds) that make him worth a swing in the sixth round.

The Eagles selected Morris in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 207th overall.

Morris didn't start in his first three seasons at Georgia but saw some action at right guard in 2024 before starting at left guard in all 14 games in 2025. He provides solid pass protection and is a powerful blocker in the run game, though his success was limited to specific schemes. Morris has a great opportunity to improve his game in Philadelphia, where he'll provide depth at guard behind Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen.

The Chargers selected Harkey in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 206th overall.

Harkey (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) started at right tackle for Texas State in 2024 and for Oregon in 2025, but his first challenge at the NFL level will be to adjust to a positional move inside. The Chargers are relatively deep at guard behind Trevor Penning and 2026 second-rounder Jake Slaughter, with Cole Strange, Kayode Awosika, Ben Cleveland, Branson Taylor, fellow 2026 sixth-round pick Logan Taylor and Harkey all slated to vie for opportunities this offseason.

The Lions selected Gill-Howard in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 205th overall

Gill-Howard doesn't boast a lengthy resume, playing three seasons at Northern Illinois (only one start) before transferring to Texas Tech in 2025, where he started the first six games before an ankle injury prematurely ended his campaign. Gill-Howard's measurables (6-foot-1, 280 pounds), arm length and hand size are underwhelming for his position, but he's athletic for his frame and has developed an array of rushing moves. He's also willing to be physical in the running game. He'll slot in as a depth option for the Lions and will aim to overcome his size limitations at the next level.

The Texans selected Bond in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 204th overall.

Bond (5-foot-11, 197 pounds) is likely a slot receiver to the Texans after a Boston College career where he provided quality underneath receiving production but little in the way of big plays. Bond's reliable hands could prove useful to the Texans. It just would probably require some injuries at receiver first.

The Chargers selected Taylor in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 202nd overall.

Taylor was a regular starter in each of his last four college seasons. He played for Boston College from 2023 to 2025 and was named to the All-ACC Second-Team in his senior year. He's one of the rare prospects in this draft that has experience playing at four of the five positions on the offensive line. That versatility could be incredibly valuable for a Chargers team that dealt with several injuries to the offensive line in 2025, including Rashawn Slater (kneecap) and Joe Alt (ankle).

The Dolphins selected Campbell in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 200th overall.

A three-year starter at Texas, Campbell heads to the NFL with plenty of experience under his belt, making 43 starts over four seasons in Austin. Campbell has the longer arms ideal for the position to keep defenders at bay, but he's not the best mover in space pulling and can struggle in run blocking. For now, he'll slot in as a depth option for the Dolphins and take aim at claiming a 53-man roster spot.

The Packers selected Jackson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 201st overall.

Jackson (6-foot-1, 194 pounds) spent the first two years of his collegiate career at USC, where he emerged as a starter in 2023 before transferring to Alabama. There, he started all 13 games in 2024 and 10 of 15 appearances in 2025. The 23-year-old's consistency in coverage leaves much to be desired, as evidenced by his total starts and snaps declining in his final year with the Crimson Tide, but Green Bay appears intrigued by upside provided by the former track sprinter's speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash). Jackson stands to begin his career with the Packers primarily in a developmental role and potentially also as a special-teams contributor.

The Vikings selected Claiborne in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 198th overall.

Claiborne brings a dynamic skillset to Minnesota after four years at Wake Forest -- two as a starter. The 22-year-old is a patient runner with the speed (4.37 40-yard dash) to break open a play when he sees daylight. At 5-foot-10, 188 pounds, he doesn't project as a consistent threat between the tackles, but there's clear upside if the Vikings can get him into space. Over his final two seasons, Claiborne rushed 407 times for 1,956 yards and 21 touchdowns while adding 51 receptions for 194 yards and two scores. Claiborne could earn his keep in a third-down role if he can tidy up his pass blocking, but it's a crowded room for now with 31-year-old Aaron Jones leading the way ahead of Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott.
