Windy City Gridiron
WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his top 75 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft with some additional analysis.
The dead period of the NFL offseason is over, and we’re in the midst of training camp, which means the regular season is right around the corner. The Chicago Bears will have plenty to keep us busy here at Windy City Gridiron, which means there’s less time for our summer activities.
For me, one of my go-to summer activities to kill time is watching prospects for next year’s NFL Draft. As of this writing, I’ve been able to scout and grade 200 prospects for the 2026 class. That’s obviously not enough to get through every single player selected in the draft, which is my ultimate goal.
However, I have nine more months to add more prospects to my board. Off the sample I have now, I have a decent understanding of what the draft class offers in terms of its strengths and weaknesses going into the regular season. I’ve decided to share my findings with you all.
You can see the entirety of my big board edited in real life on my Patreon, as well as my full watchlist of players I still need to get to. I’ll also have exclusive Bears content there, as well. But I wanted to share my top 75 prospects on my big board for the 2026 NFL Draft. Additionally, I created some superlatives at each position to provide additional insight into what these prospects specialize in.
