The 2026 NFL Draft is just a day away, and there seems to be a steady belief that the Iowa Hawkeyes are once again going to send a group of offensive linemen to the NFL who are ready-made to step in and provide starting-quality play to the team that selects them.
While there may not be a Hawkeye taken off the board during the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, it is only going to be a matter of time before Iowa sees offensive linemen coming off the board on Friday and Saturday.
