NFL draft 2026: Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love and other top prospects await call – live
TL;DR
The 2026 NFL Draft features a notable order with the Raiders picking first. Teams like the Giants, Jets, and Cowboys hold multiple first-round picks, raising questions about potential trades for future drafts.
Key points
- Raiders hold the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft
- Giants, Jets, and Cowboys have multiple first-round selections
- Teams may trade picks for better positions in the 2027 draft
- 2026 draft class is seen as below average for quarterbacks
Draft order
I’m just drop this right here. Is that OK?
- Raiders
- Jets
- Cardinals
- Titans
- Giants
- Browns
- Commanders
- Saints
- Chiefs
- Giants (from Bengals)
- Dolphins
- Cowboys
- Rams (from Falcons)
- Ravens
- Buccaneers
- Jets (from Colts)
- Lions
- Vikings
- Panthers
- Cowboys (from Packers)
- Steelers
- Chargers
- Eagles
- Browns (from Jaguars)
- Bears
- Bills
- 49ers
- Texans
- Chiefs (from Rams)
- Dolphins (from Broncos)
- Patriots
- Seahawks
So the teams with two first-round picks tonight are the Giants at five and 10, the Jets at two and 16, the Cowboys at 12 and 20, the Browns at six and 24, the Chiefs at nine and 29 and the Dolphins at 11 and 30.
One thing to keep an eye on is, with this draft being seen as kind of, sort of, below average - at least when it comes to quarterbacks – will any teams deal 2026 capital to get a spot in a 2027 draft, which is expected to have more box office names? Por ejemplo, Miami doesn’t seem to have a whole lot of interest in winning games this year – will they try to grab a shot at a Manning and the other premiere QB’s next year? Will they try to deal one or both of their first round picks to get into that arm race?
Hello everyone and welcome to our rolling coverage of the 91st NFL Draft!
Let me begin by saying that the NFL off-season has two important dates. There’s the day that free agency begins, where moves just fly in at incredible speed and the NFL takes over sports for about a week. And of course, there’s the NFL draft, which is the Big Kahuna, and manages to bring the NBA playoffs to its knees despite the fact that not a single ball is thrown. Somehow, the NFL just continues to grow and eat everything in its path with each passing season, and that includes the draft, which is a premier showcase and a boon to whichever city hosts the event.
This year it’s in Pittsburgh, so it gets a 12,000 square foot fan village in its Point State Park, a red carpet event, and a draft theater so big that it’s inside the Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) parking lot. The whole zone takes about a half hour to walk from one end of the event to the other, all along its famous Three Rivers area.
