NFL draft Round 1 pick time

Each team will have eight minutes to make its selection in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. This is the first year for this, as last year it was 10 minutes between picks. With 32 picks to sort through, this potentially could save an hour.

Teams have seven minutes on the clock for the second round, five minutes for rounds 3-6 and four minutes in round 7.

Fernando Mendoza, the quarterback from Indiana who led his team to the national championship and won the Heisman Trophy, will be the top pick in the draft by the Las Vegas Raiders.

The drama starts at No. 2, where the Jets could take Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese or Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey.

NFL Mock Draft Simulator

Draft simulators allow users to pick their favorite team and draft for them while the other 31 teams auto draft. Generally, trades are allowed. Here is ESPN’s mock draft simulator.

Mansoor Delane

The LSU cornerback has generally been mocked anywhere from pick No. 7 to No. 12, which is where the Cowboys are drafting. The consensus is he goes 7th to the Washington Commanders.

The NFL.com prospect page says of Delane: “Delane is one of the top cornerbacks in a CB-rich draft. He excels in press coverage, altering release timing with punches and slides. Smooth hips and efficient footwork keep him connected in man coverage, while his processing allows for quick transitions in off-man and short zone looks. He has good top-end speed for vertical phasing but is inconsistent turning to find the football.”
