Day 2 / Day 3 Team Fits
NFL teams that lost a same-position veteran this offseason — and could target Albert Regis as a Day 2/3 replacement option.
- REPORTED Las Vegas Raiders: moved on from Bilal Nichols (3-tech-DT).
Picks held: R1 #1; R2 #36
Confidence: "VERIFIED" departures cite a publication URL (Spotrac, OverTheCap, ESPN, NFL.com, team transactions page) confirming the move and date. "REPORTED" entries come from public free-agency trackers without a single canonical source we could attach. Fits are archetype-and-position based; we are not claiming the team has expressed interest in the prospect.
NFL Scheme Fit
NFL Scheme Fit
- Two-gap base DT in a multi-front defense
Houston Texans · Atlanta Falcons · Denver Broncos
Scheme matches are bucketed from the prospect's height, weight, and (for WRs) archetype tag against a static lookup of which NFL teams currently run each scheme family.
Rookie Contract & Landing-Spot Outlook
Projected Rookie Contract Value
~$4.5M – $4.9M (4-year deal) · Pick range: #129-160 · ~15% guaranteed
Modest signing bonus + minimum salaries
Best-Case / Worst-Case Landing Spot
Why: IDL listed in their top-5 positional needs; runs a scheme that maximizes his profile.
Year-1 arc: Day-1 starter window with cap-controlled rookie-contract production.
Why: IDL not in their stated top-5 needs; runs a scheme that doesn't naturally amplify his profile.
Year-1 arc: Depth-chart competition + special-teams reps as Year-1 baseline.
Contract band uses the 2026 NFL CBA rookie wage scale projected from the prospect's expected pick range; guarantee % is the slot-default at that pick. Landing-spot best/worst case is derived from TEAMS data (positional needs + scheme overlap minus same-position R1 conflicts) — not a claim that either team has expressed interest.
Versatility, Limits & Roster Pathway
Biggest Limiting Trait MED
3rd-percentile height for the position — Frame is among the smallest at the position in the 2026 class — scouts will flag matchup-specific exposure as the ceiling-cap.
Day-3 NFL Roster Pathway
Day 3 DL projection means rotational sub-package work and special-teams snaps are the realistic Year 1 role; pass-rush production carries the most weight.
Derived from height/weight against the 2026 position cohort and the prospect's projected round. Versatility callouts identify alternate alignments NFL teams have historically used for similar size profiles. Limiting-trait notes flag the single most-cited measurable concern; severity reflects how often that flag ends a Day 1 starter projection. Roster-pathway notes describe the realistic Year 1 NFL role for Day 3 picks.
