Only one player on profootballnetwork 2026 mock draft - maybe not who you thought

Okay I know, mock drafts are meaningless, even more so a year out. But it’s the football off-season and this is the type of content you get.
I was thinking Nuss would be the player, I could also see Harold Perkins in the conversation if he returns to his freshman year form. I was surprised to see Whitt Weeks in a 2026 first round mock, but not the pro football network one. Weeks and Perkins will both have to show they have recovered from significant injuries to stay in that conversation.
Who guessed Mansoor Delane? Winner winner, chicken dinner. Wouldn’t it be awesome if he lives up to his billing and gives us that lock down corner who let us blitz more. And they have him going at 13, pretty damn high.
From the article:[i]
13) Miami Dolphins
Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
Jalen Ramsey has been the subject of trade rumors. Kader Kohou will be a free agent in 2026. And Cam Smith has been underwhelming to this point. Jason Marshall Jr. could be a gem, but odds are, cornerback will be a major need for the Dolphins in Round 1 in 2026.
At Virginia Tech in 2024, Delane was a lockdown defender, with four INTs and seven PBUs. At 6’0", 191 pounds, he’s an incredibly fast, efficient, and fluid mover, with an elite size-speed profile and a strong playmaking imprint. He’s still improving in support, but his coverage upside may be some of the best the 2026 class has to offer.

I think the following guys have a shot to move into the first
1. Nuss
2. Weeks
3. Perk
4. Aaron Anderson (will need to test very well)
5. Hilton (will test better than anyone)
6. Thompson
7. Moore
8. Adams
9. Nic Anderson
10. Payton (will have to dominate as he's a 5th year senior)
I think we probably end up with 3 of those 11 going in the 1st.

4. Aaron Anderson - if his drops decrease, he’s got a great shot at late 1st, early 2nd pick.

Barring some crazy injury I fully expect Nuss to be the 1st or 2nd QB off the board next year.

Nuss is more likely to be in the top five than slip to the second round.

I don’t think there is anything he can do to be a top 40 pick.

I love him. No chance to be a 1st rounder

I do not know about no chance at all. I mean, if you look at just about any list of top cb’s in the 2026 draft, Delane is on the list.
While looking at those lists I came upon yet another mock that has Delane in the first round:
21. MINNESOTA VIKINGSMinnesota Vikings Logo
Selection: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
Delane decided to forego the NFL Draft and instead transferred to LSU. One would imagine the extra experience in the SEC will help elevate his profile and boost his resume even more.
He nearly doubled his career ball production in 2024, but will need to make sure he plays disciplined this upcoming season. If he does, he could be a sturdy answer for the Vikings' secondary.

First round or not, Delane seems to be a highly regarded cornerback in a lot of circles.

I wouldn't exactly go that far. He doesn't really have the measurables, and this far out I would say rds 2-5 but I wouldn't say he can't be a top 40 pick.
