Denzel Boston — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Courtland Sutton, who is currently scheduled to be a free agent in 2026, arguably had his best season (81/1,081/8) in 2024. There's optimism for both sides to agree to an extension, but Sutton turns 30 in October and the team could look to bolster the rest of the receiving corps. Boston has a wide catch radius and strong hands with the size (6'4", 209) and speed to rack up yards after the catch or be a red-zone weapon. If Boston, who underwent a cleanup procedure last month, has a full season similar to 2024's first half, he could put himself in the conversation to be the first receiver drafted in 2026.

The reigning champs seem unlikely to bring back Jahan Dotson, and A.J. Brown's not getting any younger. Boston has fantastic size on the outside (6' 4", 209 pounds) and is primed for a big campaign playing for a head coach who also happens to be GM Howie Roseman's college roommate.

Before trading out of the first round entirely, the Rams reportedly explored moving up for Tetairoa McMillan, so clearly the club is looking for reinforcements at receiver, even after signing Davante Adams in free agency. Possessing a frame and game like both of the aforementioned pass-catchers, Boston is among this year's best receivers at tracking deep balls over his shoulder and winning above the rim. He caught nine touchdowns in a breakout 2024 campaign and scouts are expecting many more this season.
