With 11 draft picks, the Ravens could pursue surprise targets like Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, Penn State guard Vega Ioane, or Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, weighing immediate needs in the secondary and O-line against long‑term upside, including the possibility of drafting two tight ends.
At pick 19 in the 2026 NFL Draft, multiple mock drafts trend toward Carolina taking TE Kenyon Sadiq (per NFL Network, CBS, Yahoo) with Sadiq serving as a receiving threat, while ESPN also nods to OT Monroe Freeling as another option. The Panthers, who have seven total selections, have spent heavily on defense in recent offseasons and are weighing how a playmaking tight end or long-term tackle could complement Bryce Young and the rest of the roster.
Charles Davis releases a four-round 2026 NFL Draft Mock 3.0 that keeps teams in their current first-round slots and projects Ty Simpson (Alabama QB) to the Arizona Cardinals at No. 3, with Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon TE) nearly cracking the top 10; the board runs from 1 to 32 and features Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1, Reese to the Jets at No. 2, and a mix of QB, OL, WR, and edge prospects shaping the draft landscape ahead of NFL Network coverage in late April.
With the Jets’ No. 16 pick, the article highlights three playmaking options: Makai Lemon (WR, USC) as a polished slot threat; Carnell Tate (WR, Ohio State), whose size and speed could fit as an outside complement and might prompt a move up if he slides; and Kenyon Sadiq (TE, Oregon), an elite pass catcher who could double as a flexible receiving option and pair with Mason Taylor. The piece emphasizes that the priority at No. 16 is to add a legitimate playmaker, not risk a quarterback pick.
Kenyon Sadiq's historic combine performance (4.39 40, 43.5-inch vertical, 11'1" broad) elevates him as a potential No. 16 BPA pass-catcher for the Jets, who could value him over top receivers at that spot; he posted 560 yards on 51 receptions with eight TDs in 2025 and stands 6'3", 241 pounds as a dynamic receiving threat for NYJ.
Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, the fastest ever by a tight end and breaking the 4.40 barrier. He also posted an 11-foot-1 broad jump and a 43.5-inch vertical, following a 51-catch, 560-yard, eight-TD college season and earning Big Ten tight end of the year honors, boosting top-half of the first-round expectations for the 2026 NFL draft.
Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq ran a 4.39-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine, the fastest by a tight end since at least 2003, surpassing Vernon Davis’s 4.40 (2006) and Dorin Dickerson’s 4.40 (2010). He also posted strong broad and vertical jumps and had a standout 2025 season (51 receptions, 560 yards, 8 TD), fueling first-round expectations as NFL.com projects him as a top-16 prospect.
Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq confirmed a meeting with the Denver Broncos at the NFL Scouting Combine and said reuniting with former Ducks quarterback Bo Nix would be “awesome.” Sadiq credited Nix for mentoring him in college and noted that if he posts a strong combine (potentially a 4.5-second 40-yard dash), he could be a first‑round candidate for Denver, which is prioritizing tight end depth and even weighing the possibility of moving up to No. 30.
Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer outlines a wide slate of NFL Combine contenders, led by Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq as a potential athletic outlier and featuring standout linebackers, receivers, and linemen who could post eye-opening numbers; the piece notes that many players may skip testing, and there is only one quarterback mentioned—North Dakota State’s Cole Payton—in a class otherwise lacking marquee quarterback headlines.
