Matt Miller has updated his 2026 NFL draft rankings following the combine in Indianapolis, listing his top 50 prospects with detailed scouting reports. The ESPN draft analyst evaluated players in person at Lucas Oil Stadium and incorporated film study and conversations with NFL scouts to create his latest rankings.

Jeremiyah Love of Notre Dame leads Miller's board as an elite three-down running back with 4.36 speed and 64 career receptions. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza ranks as the top signal-caller, while Ohio State dominates the early rankings with safety Caleb Downs at No. 3 and edge defender Arvell Reese at No. 4. Reese's hybrid linebacker-edge skills draw comparisons to Micah Parsons and Abdul Carter.

Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles vaulted into the top five with a stellar combine performance, including a 43½-inch vertical jump and 4.46-second 40-yard dash. Texas Tech's David Bailey, who led the FBS with 14.5 sacks last season, could tempt the Jets at No. 2 overall. Miller notes these rankings remain fluid as he reviews more game film before the April 23 draft in Pittsburgh.
