The Florida Gators football program will contribute a smaller number of prospects to NFL rosters in 2026. However, almost all of them will be concentrated in the first two days with one player sliding into day 3.
The first four names are all trench players. Offensive line and defensive line. Later in the process, they will also see a CB and a WR come off the board.
Florida in 2025 felt like a team in transition and that will bear itself out during the draft. Most players come off between rounds 2 and 3. However, DT Caleb Banks has been a mover, with some analysts believing he could go as early as the first round.
