Draft Room: Eli Heidenreich, Mark Bell, Sam Hecht and the Hidden Gems of the 2026 Combine
Episode 31
Friday, 6 March, 2026
The Draft Room dives deep into the 2026 NFL Combine's offensive prospects using Kevin Cole's Unexpected Points modeling — and the gap between what teams value and what actually predicts NFL success is massive. Ryan breaks down running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive tackles, and interior linemen to find the combine winners, the overrated darlings, and the hidden gems that draft boards are getting wrong. Running Backs: Mike Washington Jr. and Jeremiah Love dominate both team value and actual value metrics, but Love carries a 20-point overvaluation gap — and zero-star Navy product Eli Heidenreich emerges as the most undervalued back, a WR/RB hybrid with elite PFF grades and a compelling character profile Wide Receivers: Jeff Caldwell is in a class by himself at 99.9th percentile across the board, while Colby Young — the big-bodied Georgia X-receiver — shows up as undervalued despite significant off-field concerns that will complicate his draft stock Tight Ends: A position loaded with overrated combine performers; Miles Kitzelman out of Tennessee stands out as the most undervalued, though his modest production and modest PFF blocking grades raise legitimate questions Offensive Line: Human skyscraper Mark Bell (6'9", 346 lbs) out of Miami is the most underrated tackle in the class, while Kansas State's Sam Hecht — zero sacks allowed in 850 career pass-blocking reps — may be the steal of the entire offensive line group Don't sleep on these prospects, Pac Nation.
