Bradley Locker researches the last 10 years of first-round trades happening on Day 1 of the NFL Draft to project what we might see in 2026.

Proctor is a massive, powerful offensive line prospect with surprisingly good coordination and movement ability for his size. However, his lack of ideal foot speed and arm length for tackle likely makes him a strong candidate to move inside to guard.

Dunker has tackle experience but projects best to guard due to his build and skill set. He flashes devastating power, particularly in zone schemes, but must clean up inconsistencies with balance and patience to raise his floor.

World is physically gifted but remains too raw technically to start in his current form. He is a high-ceiling, Day 3 developmental prospect best suited for a power-based run scheme.

Bell's size is a rare trait, even at the NFL level. He is a better athlete than expected for his frame, but limitations in foot speed and flexibility could impact his ability to develop into a full-time starter.
