2026 NFL Draft Has 6 Teams Stacked in the first—and 6 who are Left Out

The 2026 NFL Draft will feature six teams to have two first-round picks, and six teams to have zero first-round picks.

This is definitely a change from last year's draft, when each team had its first-round picks set in the 32-team order. The New York Giants recently made a splash by trading Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, which gave them two first-round picks, and they look like the team best positioned to really make a splash, holding the 5th and 10th overall picks.

The Dolphins have the 11th and 30th picks due to the Jaylen Waddle trade.

The Jets will have their number 2 overall pick, as well as the Colts' number-16 pick, due to the Sauce Gardner trade.

Since the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, they now hold the 12th and 20th picks in the first round.

The Trent McDuffie trade will give the Chiefs their own pick at number 9, as well as the Rams' number 29 pick.

From last season's NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns now own their pick at number 6 and the Jaguars' pick at number 24, which allowed the Jags to move up to snag Hunter.
