NFL Draft season is well underway now. The NFL Combine is here. There’s just two months until the big day. This class of prospects, and where they stack up against each other, is beginning to come into view.

Our A to Z Sports NFL scouting staff has already been hard at work on the 2026 NFL Draft class for a year now, but this group of prospects looks a lot different than many expected. What will this NFL Draft class actually look like? Who are the best players? How many quarterbacks will be selected early?

Using data from every mock draft since the beginning of December, our A to Z Sports NFL Draft projections, and well over a year’s worth of scouting this class, I built out what should be an industry-wide best guess at the first seven rounds (yes, every single pick) of the 2026 NFL Draft. Enjoy! And if you think I got some of it (perhaps all of it) wrong, make sure to let me know @FF_TravisM on X.

Key Facts, Stats, and Odds for the 2026 NFL Draft

  • Three NFL teams currently hold multiple first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft: Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, New York Jets
  • The Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers all have at least four picks in the first three rounds (not including compensatory selections)
  • Indiana quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza has a 99% probability of being the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to sports books
  • Nearly 200 different players have been selected in the first three rounds of mock drafts around the industry since mid-December

Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft

1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana

Fernando Mendoza is the obvious consensus top overall quarterback. He posted the best efficiency profile among all FBS passers. He led Indiana to a national championship. He won the Heisman Trophy. There’s nothing more that an NFL team could want in a quarterback prospect, really. He could add a bit more consistent mobility value to his game, but Mendoza certainly proved he could get it done on the ground in crucial moments throughout the College Football Playoff. The Raiders snag their best quarterback in franchise history.

2. New York Jets: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech

David Bailey is the best pass rushing edge defender in the 2026 NFL Draft. It’s about time more recognized this fact. The Jets see it here with the second pick overall. According to every scout and teammate I’ve spoken to, Bailey is just built different. From his preparation process, to the focus in-game, Bailey is a monster. He’s posted three straight seasons with a pressure rate over 20%. He finished this year with 15 sacks. NFL teams won’t overthink this for long on draft day.

3. Arizona Cardinals: Rueben Bain, EDGE, Miami (FL)

Rueben Bain’s arm length is going to be discussed ad nauseam throughout the next couple months, but it just takes one team to take a shot on an obvious All-Pro candidate. Over 80 pressures and a dozen sacks last year make him one of the most productive pass rushers in the game. Bain is a bit high cut, and can rely on brute force too often, but his get-off at the line, instincts, surprising flexibility, and pass rush arsenal give the Cardinals a true difference-maker here.

4. Tennessee Titans: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State

Arvell Reese can eventually become an every-down edge rusher and off-ball linebacker hybrid for the Titans thanks to his 6-4, 243-pound frame, rangy athleticism, and versatile set of experiences already. He’s a bit raw as a pass-rushing asset, as was exhibited by his major slow-down in production to end the year, but his instincts and raw talent should help him succeed in whatever role he plays at the next level. He is perhaps the best pure defensive weapon in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

5. New York Giants: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (FL)

. Francis Mauigoa is slowly, but surely becoming the consensus OT1 in the 2026 NFL Draft. He was trending that way for a while, but in recent weeks mock draft data and sources I speak to make it sound like most teams in the NFL have Mauigoa atop their offensive tackles list. If so, and the Giants have any interest in keeping Jaxson Dart standing upright for long, they would be best served to select Mauigoa here. He’s a former five star recruit with all the traits NFL teams love and a pass rushing record that has improved each year.

6. Cleveland Browns: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

The Cleveland Browns need to fix their offense in this draft too, but if they want to fix the entire team then going with the best player available is the play. Caleb Downs was an All-American as a true freshman as he racked up over 100 total tackles. Then he posted two more seasons of even more impressive play, rounding out his coverage skills, allowing a passer rating below 55 in both of the last two years. It’s difficult for safeties to look dynamic sometimes, but he is more than just a safety. Downs can play comfortably inside the box, deep safety, and drop down into the slot against the best player on opposing offenses. The Browns get better overall here, knowing they can go offense later in the round one with their second first-round pick.

7. Washington Commanders: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The Commanders have a ton of needs — especially at edge rusher — but all three of the best players who fit that bill are gone at this point. They add an elite shutdown cornerback who gave up just 14 receptions throughout the entire 2025 college football season. Mansoor Delane defended nearly 20 passes in the last two seasons alone and racked up a half dozen interceptions in that span. Cornerbacks like that don’t fall too far in the first round.

8. New Orleans Saints: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Carnell Tate can be the WR1 that the Saints need to pair with Chris Olave. Tate split targets with several future first round picks in his time with the Ohio State Buckeyes like Marvin Harrison, Emeka Egbuka, and Jeremiah Smith, but the Saints aren’t fooled by that. At 6-3, 195 pounds Tate can operate as a true X wide receiver, and slide inside to create mismatches as well. Tate’s 3.02 yards per route run, 14.6-yard average depth of target, and 86% contested catch rate last year should catch the eye of some other team soon after this pick if the Saints somehow pass on the real draft day.

9. Kansas City: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

Jeremiyah Love is a unicorn running back prospect in a less-than-impressive class at the position. Love showcased elite efficiency marks throughout his three-year career with Notre Dame, averaging over seven yards per touch for two straight years. His more than 3,000 yards from scrimmage and 40 touchdowns spanning 2024 and 2025 sets him apart by a wide margin when combined with his elite athleticism. The Chiefs finally get some explosion in the backfield.

10. Cincinnati Bengals: Sonny Styles Jr., LB, Ohio State

Sonny Styles has similar athleticism to Arvell Reese (selected fourth overall in the mock), but he’s a better asset in coverage. If Reese is the best front-seven kind of defensive weapon, Styles might be the best back-seven defender. He has experience playing both safety and linebacker, so the Bengals could use him in a wide variety of ways. Styles can over-pursue his run lanes and get washed out when there’s a mess in front of him, but it’s hard to argue with his athletic profile, production, pedigree, and versatility.

11. Miami Dolphins: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

Jermod McCoy has lost some of his shine after missing the entire 2025 season recovering from injury, but he was the obvious top cornerback in the nation coming off his 2024 year. Four interceptions. A half-dozen more passes defended. Success in a wide variety of coverages. The Dolphins have the most pathetic cornerback room in the league, but not for long after this McCoy pick.

12. Dallas Cowboys: Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

Keldric Faulk is an absurdly built athlete, standing at 6-6, 285 pounds with enough bend and burst to get around the edge as a pass rusher. His sack production went way down after defenses began keying in on him in 2025, but Faulk stayed selfless, creating havoc, muddying things up for opposing offenses all year long at Auburn. In many ways, single-handedly giving the Tigers one of the best defenses in the country. The Cowboys need a difference maker who can do more than just rush the passer. They get that here with Faulk.

13. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL): Makai Lemon, WR, USC

The Rams were likely hoping one of the top cornerbacks dropped to them here, but landing Makai Lemon is an even better pick. Lemon won the Biletnikoff Award (for best wide receiver in college football), led all power conference wide receivers in receiving yards after the regular season, and can win from any pre-snap alignment. The Rams offense would be unstoppable with Puka Nacua paired with Lemon.

14. Baltimore Ravens: Caleb Banks, DL, Florida

Caleb Banks missed some time this past season due to injury, but he was unreal rushing the passer (for a defensive tackle) in 2024. He doubled the positional average in pass rush pressure rate (his 12% compared to 6% FBS average). Banks did struggle with his tackling consistency, and that extended into 2025 action, but at 6-6, 330 pounds, the Ravens take a shot here at a disruptive interior force.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

This is far enough for Spencer Fano to fall. He’s an extremely athletic 6-6, 310-pound offensive tackle with over 2,200 snaps of experience in three seasons. Fano logged a solid first year at left tackle, then converted to right where his strength and athleticism flourished. The Buccaneers could go many different directions in round one, and last year proved (with their Emeka Egbuka pick) that they’re fine going with the best player available, even when many believe it’s not a position of need.

16. New York Jets (via IND): Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

Jordyn Tyson‘s medical testing with teams this spring will likely decide how early he goes in the NFL Draft. He missed significant time in 2022, then nearly the entire season in 2023. Then, just as Arizona State was about to qualify for the College Football Playoff in 2024, Tyson got injured again. Surely he would stay healthy in 2024, right? No. He missed a handful of games again. When healthy, Tyson is a no-brainer first round pick — if not a top-ten pick — given his elite burst, contested catch ability, and strong rate stats that suggest he’s a potential alpha wide receiver. The Jets take the shot on the upside here.

17. Detroit Lions: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State

Olaivavega Ioane is the best overall offensive line prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. The only reason he won’t go much higher than this is that he’s an interior offensive lineman. He was the lone bright spot on a Penn State team that struggled for much of 2025, dominating in both the rush and pass. Ioane fits the current gritty Lions culture and could help protect a largely immobile Jared Goff from interior pressure.

18. Minnesota Vikings: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

The Vikings have some damage to fix after their now-fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah whiffed on a few draft classes in a row. Avieon Terrell should fix that. His build (5-11, 180 pounds) projects more as a slot cornerback, but he’s far more than that. Clemson did finally ask him to play more inside this year, and as he was learning a more versatile defensive role, Terrell struggled at times. However, he still tallied nearly 20 passes defended in the last two years, allowed a career completion rate just over 50% when targeted, and is one of the better tackling cornerbacks in the class.

19. Carolina Panthers: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

Kenyon Sadiq is a dynamic do-it-all tight end. He began his career as more of a pure receiver, but improved his blocking down the stretch. Sadiq was good enough to operate as Oregon’s de facto WR1 for much of this past season, and he’s good enough to do that for the Panthers too. Pairing a tight end that can win from anywhere with Tetairoa McMillan would make for a wildly explosive offense.

20. Dallas Cowboys (via GBP): CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

CJ Allen may not have the athletic flash of some former Georgia Bulldogs linebackers, but he makes up for it with his instincts, leadership, and complete skill set. He can rush the passer well off delays and zone blitzes. He defends the run extremely well. The Cowboys already grabbed their edge rusher early in the first round. Now they get the leader of their defense for many years to come in Allen.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

There aren’t a ton of first-round true left tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft, but Caleb Lomu is the exception. He stepped in and pushed Spencer Fano (selected at pick 15 in this mock) from left tackle to right tackle, proving to be far superior in that specific role. He might not be as naturally athletic, but his pass-rushing technique and consistency are phenomenal. The Steelers set up their offensive line for the long haul here.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Peter Woods, DL, Clemson

Peter Woods had a tough year like most every Clemson player did in their worst season of the past decade. However, Woods still possesses first-round traits for a defensive tackle. He’s an above average pass rusher as a defensive tackle, but possesses the flexibility and range to play any position up front. The Chargers love their versatile defensive front weapons and coach Jim Harbaugh loves players like this.

23. Philadelphia Eagles: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

Cashius Howell may be just a tad shorter than most edge rushers, but he makes up for it with his density and leverage at the point of attack. Howell racked up 12 total sacks this season, grabbing three in one game, not once, but twice. When he gets on a hot streak, Howell can be unstoppable off the edge. The Eagles could use another edge defender to secure a top-tier pass rush for many years to come.

24. Cleveland Browns (via JAX): KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M

KC Concepcion would be the perfect answer at wide receiver for the Browns. He is a YAC weapon, averaging more than seven yards after the catch in 2025. Concepcion turned himself into a deep threat last year too, posting an average depth of target well beyond 12 yards. Add to that his dynamic return ability (two punt return touchdowns last fall), and the Browns get a player who can completely change their offense.

25. Chicago Bears: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

Kayden McDonald is as close as an NFL prospect can get to being a perfect run defender. He missed just two tackles throughout the entirety of 2025 and logged nearly 40 plays for a neutral or negative gain. He isn’t much of a pass rusher, but he can move the pile with his brute strength, which should give the Bears just enough of what they need up front.

26. Buffalo Bills: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Given how the Bills’ offseason has gone, there’s no way they don’t draft a wide receiver early. The owners essentially threw Sean McDermott under the bus for missing on Keon Coleman — and oh, yeah, he’s still on the team. Denzel Boston should silence some of the noise. At 6-4, 210 pounds, Boston brings perfect perimeter wide receiver size, strength, speed, and much greater flexibility than expected for a wide receiver of his size. That’s demonstrated via his wildly impressive return ability as well. The Bills finally get Josh Allen what he deserves.

27. San Francisco 49ers: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

Colton Hood stepped up big time for the Vols when Jermod McCoy couldn’t return due to injury. He kicked off last fall allowing just two catches for 10 combined receiving yards and defending three passes through the first three games of the season. He slowed down with the passes defended, but still only gave up two players longer than 22 yards on the entire season. The 49ers get another long-term cornerback to believe in.

28. Houston Texans: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

The Texans need to replace most of their offensive line, so they might as well begin with the best offensive tackle left on the board here. The upside might be higher with a Kadyn Proctor, considering his size and pedigree, but Monroe Freeling came on strong in 2025. He gave up far too many pressures in 2024 (his first year starting), but he took games over on the left side of the line for Georgia throughout the entire back half of 2025. He needs to work on how he handles the more powerful edge defenders, but Freeling is a great way to revamp the Texans’ offensive line.

29. Los Angeles Rams: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

The Rams luck out here. They land an elite wide receiver in Lemon with their early first, then grab a high upside cornerback with their second. The Rams need to improve at corner, especially one that can defend the run, and that’s what Cisse can bring right away. He was a bit choppy in coverage last fall, logging a couple pretty bad games against Texas A&M and Clemson, both late in the year. Cisse isn’t the most technical corner yet, but the athleticism, traits, and instincts seem to be where they need to be to suggest a potentially special player.

30. Denver Broncos: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville

Chris Bell tore his ACL in November, so he’ll likely be out of commission throughout the entire NFL Draft season and most of the summer. The Broncos need to keep adding weapons for Bo Nix to utilize, so grabbing Bell here is a great value pick long-term. He may take a little while to get up to full speed, but Bell showed special skills in 2024 and 2025. He was one of the most explosive weapons in the nation back in 2024, averaging over 17 yards per reception. Last fall, he became a target hog, averaging nearly 90 yards per reception prior to his injury. The Broncos wide receiver room levels up.

31. New England Patriots: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

T.J. Parker could have elected to return to Clemson, but when I spoke with him at the Senior Bowl he felt confident that he was going to be able to impress NFL decision-makers this spring. He definitely did that at the Senior Bowl with his signature long-arm pass rush move. Parker is definitely one who could impress at the NFL Combine too. The Patriots need to add some edge rushers for their defensive-minded head coach in Mike Vrabel. They start that here with Parker.

32. Seattle Seahawks: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon

If Dillon Thieneman played a more premium position he likely goes earlier than this. He starred for two programs (both Purdue and Oregon). Thieneman logged eight interceptions in just three seasons of action, then proved he could operate as a box safety in 2025 too. Thieneman is the physical enforcer that would fit right in with the Seahawks, fresh off a college career with over 300 tackles.
