The 2025 NFL playoffs are in the books after Super Bowl LX, with the Seahawks<\/a> being the newest champions. Several teams came close to winning it all, but fell short in the postseason. These squads are already contenders, but can use an extra piece to get over the hump. Even Seattle has work to do this offseason to set up a run at back-to-back Super Bowls. What will the teams picking 21-32 decide to do in this post-Super Bowl 2026 NFL mock draft?<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: This mock draft follows up on the mock draft’s picks 1-10<\/a> and 11-20<\/a>. Players taken with those picks are not available.<\/p>\n

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 21-32<\/h2>\n

21. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>– KC Concepcion,<\/a> WR, Texas A&M<\/h3>\n

It’s uncertain who will be under center for the Steelers in 2026 and beyond. Regardless of who’s playing quarterback, Pittsburgh needs another wide receiver alongside DK Metcalf<\/a>. KC Concepcion is a smooth route runner who excels at creating separation. He can play as both a Z-receiver and out of the slot, a perfect compliment to Metcalf in the wide receiver room.<\/p>\n

22. Los Angeles Chargers- Vega Ioane<\/a>, G, Penn State<\/h3>\n

The Chargers made the playoffs despite major injuries to the offensive line. While Rashawn Slater<\/a> and Joe Alt<\/a> will be back, Los Angeles desperately needs help on the interior of the offensive line. Vega Ioane, the top guard in this class, falls to them with the 22nd pick. Ioane is a great pass blocker with imposing size and also displays upside as a run blocker.<\/p>\n

23. Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>– Francis Mauigoa<\/a>, OT, Miami<\/h3>\n

Both Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson<\/a> are considering retirement. Philadelphia needs to plan for its future on the offensive line, and Francis Mauigoa can replace either Johnson or Dickerson. Mauigoa has plenty of experience at right tackle, but could also move inside at the next level. He plays with incredible tenacity, is an elite run blocker, and improved with pass-blocking throughout his collegiate career.<\/p>\n

24. Cleveland Browns (via Jaguars)- Kadyn Proctor<\/a>, OT, Alabama<\/h3>\n

The Browns already got their top wide receiver with the sixth overall pick, so they used their second first-round pick to get a franchise tackle. Kadyn Proctor has excellent size and length for the position and has immense upside if he can improve his pass-blocking technique.<\/p>\n

25. Chicago Bears<\/a>– Caleb Banks<\/a>, DT, Florida<\/h3>\n

Chicago broke out offensively in 2025 under first-year head coach Ben Johnson<\/a>. While the offense was humming, the defense ranked 23rd in scoring<\/a>. The Bears bolster their defensive line by selecting Caleb Banks. Banks has the ideal combination of frame and athleticism for an interior defensive lineman. His power as a pass rusher is evident, and he’s explosive off the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n

26. Buffalo Bills- Denzel Boston<\/a>, WR, Washington<\/h3>\n

The Bills have a potent offense, but desperately need a reliable boundary receiver. Denzel Boston excels at contested catches and has the frame of an X-receiver at the next level. He’s a crisp route runner who creates separation in man coverage. Boston is dominant in the red zone, having 20 touchdown receptions<\/a> over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

27. San Francisco 49ers<\/a>– Colton Hood<\/a>, CB, Tennessee<\/h3>\n

San Francisco won a playoff game despite being ravaged by injuries all season. The defense should improve once key players return, but they can use an upgrade at cornerback. Colton Hood emerged as one of the premier corners in the nation, displaying excellent movement skills and physicality.<\/p>\n

28. Houston Texans- Monroe Freeling<\/a>, OT, Georgia<\/h3>\n

While the Texans’ defense was spectacular in 2025, a limited offense prevented a deep playoff run. Houston needs to fill the void at left tackle following the departure of Laremy Tunsil<\/a>. The Texans fill that void with Monroe Freeling, who’s skyrocketed into first-round discussions. Freeling has incredible athleticism for the position and gives Houston a much-needed upgrade in the trenches.<\/p>\n

29. Los Angeles Rams<\/a>– Chris Bell, WR, Louisville<\/h3>\n

Puka Nacua<\/a> and Davante Adams<\/a> formed the best wide receiver duo in 2025. With that being said, Adams will be 34 by the time the 2026 season is over and is entering the final year of his contract. The Rams need a long-term second option to Nacua, and get one in Chris Bell. Bell is great after the catch and has an excellent blend of frame and speed.<\/p>\n

30. Denver Broncos- CJ Allen<\/a>, LB, Georgia<\/h3>\n

Denver’s defense led it to the AFC Championship. While the Broncos are elite defensively, Alex Singleton<\/a> is a free agent, which creates a void to fill at linebacker. CJ Allen is a rangy athlete who plays with great instincts. His tackling and run defense are excellent, and he should translate to a skilled off-the-ball linebacker in the NFL.<\/p>\n

31. New England Patriots- Akheem Mesidor<\/a>, DE, Miami<\/h3>\n

The Patriots returned to prominence during their run to Super Bowl LX. While New England made major strides last offseason, the roster could still use another pass rusher. Akheem Mesidor is an older prospect, but he’s alignment versatile and has great bend. He’s an elite run defender and has proven production as a pass rusher.<\/p>\n

32. Seattle Seahawks- Emmanuel Pregnon<\/a>, G, Oregon<\/h3>\n

The Super Bowl champions have the most complete roster in all of football. While Seattle doesn’t have any major weaknesses, it can improve its interior of the offensive line. The Seahawks go guard in the first round for the second year in a row and take Emmanuel Pregnon. Pregnon is an excellent run blocker who excels at picking up stunts in pass protection. He has emerged as a potential first-round pick after a stellar 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
