The biggest question facing every WNBA team in training camp
WNBA training camps open with key questions for each team.
The 2026 NFL Draft is approaching, with significant trades expected as teams like the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Rams aim to move into the top 5. The Las Vegas Raiders are projected to select QB Fernando Mendoza from Indiana first overall.
With the 2026 NFL Draft now less than two weeks away, the buzz around this year's selection process is picking up. And much of that speculation has built around some possible movement atop the board.
So, which teams could make the first round all the more interesting?
Here, headlined by three huge swings, is our latest one-round mock . . .
The Raiders signed four-time Pro Bowler and prolific bag-getter Kirk Cousins since our last round of projections. His presence, similarly to what the Carolina Panthers did with Andy Dalton and Bryce Young back in 2023, should serve as a resource to the eventual No. 1 overall pick in Mendoza.
Texas A&Mâs David Bailey has suddenly become a hot name for the Jets here at No. 2. But despite Bailey's more pro-ready pass-rushing ability, Reese and his sky-high upside still feel like the better fit for New Yorkâs scheme and timeline.
Projected trade: Dallas receives No. 3, 2027 fourth-round pick; Arizona receives No. 12, No. 20, 2027 third-round pick
Speaking of timelines, 2026 could present the Cowboys with a prime opportunity to recapture an NFC East crown. So, they make a jump to secure the nationâs leading sack artist in Bailey.
Projected trade: Kansas City receives No. 4; Tennessee receives No. 9, No. 40, 2027 third-round pick
Now that Dallas has sprung for one of only two top-tier pass rushers from this class, Kansas City does the same before the stock runs out. The Chiefs, thanks to their trade of cornerback Trent McDuffie, have a bit of extra ammunition that can afford them this leap for Bain.
Projected trade: Los Angeles receives No. 6, New York receives No. 13, No. 61, 2027 second-round pick
Thatâs rightâthree trades in a row! This time, itâs the Rams, with some uncertainty this offseason surrounding Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, who launch up the board to add the classâ top wideout in Tate.
Cleveland and general manager Andrew Berry would probably love to move down, but that well has grown dry after the movement that just took place. Theyâll âsettleâ for the athletic Fano, whose versatility squeezes right into the Brownsâ blueprint for their revamped offensive line.
While Love sits atop many a board as the No. 1 prospect in this entire draft, the value of the running back position could ding his stock. That shouldnât be an issue for the Commanders, who find themselves an exciting complement to quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Although Saints fans may roll their eyes at the prospect of their team selecting an offensive lineman with a third straight first-round pick, they can't hate on the effort to elevate second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. Right guard is a weak spot, and one that the tenacious Mauigoa could fortify.
Like we just did with New Orleans, Tennessee should look to build around their young quarterback (2025 No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward). But Styles, who may remind new head coach Robert Saleh of All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, might be too good to pass up.
Downs sticks around in Ohio to help patch up one of the league's worst defenses.
