ESPN All‑Film draft names
ESPN’s All‑Film Team this week flagged 11 under‑the‑radar prospects — including QBs and versatile defenders like Garrett Nussmeier and Jaishawn Barham — as tape standouts who could slip into late‑first/second‑round steals. The list is reshaping late‑round draft board chatter as teams hunt for value. (espn.com)
Ben Solak, an ESPN national NFL analyst, published the All‑Film piece on April 1, 2026. (espn.com) Solak’s writeup lists Garrett Nussmeier as his quarterback film pick and records Nussmeier at 6‑foot‑2, 203 pounds with a Scouts Inc. ranking of No. 82. (espn.com) Solak called out a clear 2025 tape‑based decline for Nussmeier — air yards per attempt fell to 6.4 from 8.4 the prior season, his sack rate rose to 4.8% from 2.9%, and a lingering core issue curtailed his 2025 availability. (espn.com) ESPN’s college profile lists Jaishawn Barham at 6‑foot‑3, 243 pounds and documents his transfer path to Michigan. (espn.com) Pro scouting pages note Barham’s 2024 output at Michigan — 66 tackles, roughly 3.5 tackles‑for‑loss and about 20 quarterback pressures — figures that underpin his positional versatility. (profootballnetwork.com) Barham clocked an official 4.64‑second 40‑yard dash at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, a measurable widely cited in team evaluations. (nfl.com) Independent draft evaluators currently peg Nussmeier as a late‑first/early‑second level film prospect and show Barham projecting across mocks from roughly Rounds 3–5, illustrating the divergence between tape grades and some consensus boards. (nfldraftdiamonds.com) Regional and draft outlets immediately amplified Solak’s list — local sites highlighted Nussmeier’s inclusion and the piece has already triggered fresh tape re‑views of his and Barham’s pro traits.
