Utah Football’s Next NFL Wave: Draft Talk With Pro Football Network’s Analyst Ian Cummings

Could Utah produce another first-round offensive tackle—and could Zereoue Williams go in the top 10?

Pro Football Network NFL Draft analyst Ian Cummings joins Steve Bartle on the Utah Blockcast to break down Williams, Wayshawn Parker and Rabbit Evans as prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft.

Cummings explains why Williams is his No. 2 offensive tackle, how he compares with Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu, and what NFL teams will need to evaluate before investing an early first-round pick.

The conversation also covers Parker’s creativity as a runner, his growing receiving value and the pass-protection questions that could shape his draft stock. On defense, Cummings evaluates Evans’ positioning, versatility and potential to provide value as a Day 3 selection.

Plus, why Utah’s upcoming stretch against Houston and the rest of its Big 12 schedule will be important for players trying to strengthen their NFL cases.
