CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson put together his final draft board for 2026, and four former Florida Gators landed in his top 100.
Defensive lineman Caleb Banks leads the group at No. 15, followed by cornerback Devin Moore at No. 44, center Jake Slaughter at No. 78 and offensive tackle Austin Barber at No. 85.
Banks has been a potential first-rounder since the 2025 draft cycle. While his decision to return to school didn't pan out due to injuries, he is still one of the more impressive physical specimens at his position. Banks' size and skillset keep him ranked No. 2 among defensive tackles.
Moore is an interesting pick for CB6 on this list. He's talented, no doubt, but injuries have kept him off the field most of his college career. When healthy, Moore is a strong tackler who rarely gets targeted or flagged. That checks three big boxes required for success at the next level, but there are questions about his speed. Wilson is disregarding those for now.
"I don't care that Florida CB Devin Moore (No. 44) ran a 4.62 in the 40 at his pro day because he plays much faster than that," Wilson said. "In fact, he plays faster than the 4.50 he ran at the combine."
Barber and Slaughter have anchored Florida's offensive line for the past three seasons. Slaughter drew All-American recognition in each of the last two seasons, but offensive tackle is the more highly coveted position in the draft. Still, Slaughter is like Banks in that he's ranked among the top two prospects at his position. All four of these guys could go in the first three rounds if teams like them enough.
