If you thought it was too early to start looking toward the 2026 NFL Draft, then you don't know how the A to Z Sports team works. Our expert evaluators had an eye on the 2026 class while studying for the 2025 draft, and Travis May has built out an insane three-round 2026 mock draft.

The Oregon Ducks are well-represented, and they might be a bit underrated. For example, Matayo Uiagalelei is at least half a round lower than what I'd have him. However, Evan Stewart is at least a round higher than I'd take him.

Oregon will have a shot at the National Championship if the 2026 NFL Draft plays out like this. Let's take a look at each of the six picks and give Travis' reasoning.

Oregon Ducks 2026 NFL Draft Prospects

21. Minnesota Vikings: Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon

Dillon Thieneman has been one of the best safeties in the league for two years in a row despite playing for one of the worst defenses in the nation at Purdue. 

Now that he's with Oregon Thieneman should get the respect he deserves and an opportunity to shine for a team with real post-season hopes. Thieneman has legit sub-4.4 forty-yard dash speed, excellent range in the deep portions of the secondary, and should fit perfectly with the Vikings as the long-term Harrison Smith replacement.

30. Buffalo Bills: Evan Stewart, WR Oregon

Regardless of what general manager Brandon Beane might think the Bills still desperately need to add some speed at the wide receiver position. Evan Stewart is a solid deep threat who brings excellent contested catch ability. He's been productive for three seasons already, but hasn't put up crazy numbers. 

This is his best shot to put together a 1000-yard season since Stewart will likely be the focal point of the Ducks passing attack this season. One great season as a proven alpha wide receiver likely lands this former five-star recruit inside round one.

36. New York Jets: Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE Oregon

58. Cincinnati Bengals: Makhi Hughes, RB Oregon
