The 49ers selected Willis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 127th overall.

Willis served at right tackle in each of his first five college seasons with Kansas State before moving to the left side of the offensive line in 2025 with Washington. The move was a good one for both the Huskies and Willis, the latter of whom was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention despite missing three games due to a left knee injury. Willis excelled in the run game with his ability to seal and finish blocks, but whether he sees meaningful playing time in the NFL will depend on whether he can develop as a capable pass protector. He gives the Niners depth at offensive tackle behind Colton McKivitz and Trent Williams, the latter of whom is entering his age-38 season.

The Bills drafted Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 125th overall.

Bell jumped up draft boards as a senior, compiling 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns for UConn while leading FBS with seven 100-yard receiving efforts. He sports adequate size at 6-foot, 192 pounds, and he has an above-average ability to get open, but he's struggled with drops throughout his college career, amassing 24 over his four years as a regular contributor. He joins a Buffalo wideout room that has already added talent this offseason by trading for wideout DJ Moore from the Bears, but the club stood pat at wideout in the draft until Bell. Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer (ankle) and Keon Coleman all remain on the roster for Buffalo heading into 2026, so Bell may be hard-pressed to earn regular snaps and will likely be primarily relegated to a special-teams role as a rookie. That said, the Bills' receiving unit hasn't been among the better rooms in recent seasons, so there could be room for him to etch out a role in the future if Bell impresses the coaching staff.

The Bears selected Muhammad in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 124th overall.

Muhammad (6-feet, 182 pounds) is perhaps on the smaller side for a boundary corner, but the former Texas standout has good reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms) for press purposes and his 4.42-second 40 demonstrates enough recovery speed to buy the idea of Muhammad starting down the road. He might be able to put some heat on Tyrique Stevenson for the second boundary corner role behind Jaylon Johnson as soon as this year.

The Texans selected Woodaz in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 123rd overall.

Woodaz was a versatile player at Clemson, serving as an inside and outside linebacker while also chipping in at the nickel corner position. He has sideline-to-sideline speed with a 4.56 40-yard dash at his pro day, and he was trustworthy in coverage as a senior. Still, Woodaz needs to develop more patience and a better ability to diagnose plays before he's ready to be a full-time starter. The 22-year-old should be an impressive special-teams asset until that time comes.

The Raiders selected Washington in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 122nd overall.

Washington saw limited opportunities at Buffalo and New Mexico State, but he burst onto the scene during his fifth and final year in college at Arkansas. He was named to the All-SEC Second-Team in 2025 after turning 167 carries into 1,070 yards (6.40 YPC) and eight touchdowns while adding 28 catches for 226 yards and a score across 12 games. Washington is a big back with a 6-foot-1, 223-pound frame that he used to full effect as a punishing, downhill runner, which should lead to a fair amount of touches on early downs. Ashton Jeanty is still the lead back for the Raiders, but Washington seemingly brings the thunder to the team's backfield that complements the lightning of Jeanty.

The Packers selected Dennis-Sutton in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 120th overall.

Dennis-Sutton boasts a production-filled career in his time at Penn State, compiling 42 tackles and 8.0 sacks in each of his last two seasons with the Nittany Lions. He backed that up with impressive numbers in the jumps, three-cone drills and the 40-yard dash, ranking in the 85th-plus percentile in each category. He'll need to hone his craft at the next level and doesn't sport the same level of explosiveness as some of the elite pass rushers, but he boasts adequate hand size and arm length to get on opposing offensive linemen. Dennis-Sutton will join fellow former Nittany Lion Micah Parsons as Green Bay adds depth in the pass-rushing room after trading away Rashan Gary during the offseason and getting lackluster production out of 2023 first-round pick Lukas Van Ness to date.

The Steelers selected Wetjen in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 121st overall.

Wetjen (5-foot-9, 193 pounds) will have his arrival in Pittsburgh's wide receiver corps overshadowed by rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard, which is reasonable given the former's undersized frame and lack of top-end speed (4.47 40-yard dash). While Wetjen could provide competition for depth wideouts Ben Skowronek and A.T. Perry this offseason, his best odds of contributing as a rookie will be in the return game, as he led the FBS with an average of 26.8 yards per punt return in his 2025 season at Iowa, returning three punts (as well as one kickoff) for a touchdown. It will be a surprise if Wetjen doesn't challenge Donte Kent (ankle) for the top punt returner gig immediately.

The Jaguars selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 119th overall.

Williams was a good three-year starter at Duke, but it's a tough sell to imagine Williams as an NFL starter. He's undersized for a defensive tackle (6-foot-4, 256 pounds) yet lacks the athleticism or length to project as a starting defensive end. Williams' 4.89-second 40 and 31 and 7/8-inch arms seem to leave him with a backup projection, especially given that his production at Duke was only decent.

The Lions selected Rolder in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 118th overall.

Rolder didn't start until his fourth year at Michigan, but he impressed at weakside linebacker as a run stopper and in coverage. While he didn't run the 40-yard dash, he's considered to be a strong athlete. Rolder plays aggressively and is a sure tackler, as he had a 4.7 percent missed tackle rate in 2025. He likely needs to develop a bit considering his lack of experience, but he was a dependable special-teams player at Michigan and should contribute in that facet immediately with the Lions.

The Chargers selected Burke in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 117th overall.

Burke started at right tackle in 2023 and 2024 with Florida International before transitioning to left tackle in 2025, when he transferred to Memphis. The move paid off for him, as he was named to the All-ACC First-Team in 2025 despite missing the last two games of the season due to a lower-body injury. Burke is a gigantic addition to the Chargers with a towering 6-foot-9, 325-pound frame, and while that comes with leverage issues, he has better movement than expected for his size. Burke's versatility to play at both left and right tackle is a big boost to the team's offensive line, given that Rashawn Slater was sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to a ruptured patella tendon and with Joe Alt missing the second half of last year because of a high-ankle sprain.
