2026 NFL Mock Draft
1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza (QB – Indiana)
We all know this is happening.

2. New York Jets: David Bailey (EDGE – Texas Tech)
The Jets need help off the edge, and David Bailey is explosive, unlike anyone else.

3. Arizona Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa (OT – Miami)
The Cardinals need a right tackle, and Francis Mauigoa played there at Miami at a high level.

4. Tennessee Titans: Arvell Reese (LB – Ohio State)
New head coach Robert Saleh gets a new, fun and versatile defensive piece to work with. Arvell Reese can come off the edge and play inside linebacker.

5. New York Giants: Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State)
Carnell Tate is going to be a productive wide receiver at the NFL level, and he enters a situation where he can complement No. 1 WR Malik Nabers.

6. Cleveland Browns: Spencer Fano (OT – Utah)
Wyatt Teller is leaving town, and the Browns allowed the second-most pressures last season. Spencer Fano will help get things moving in the right direction.

7. Washington Commanders: Rueben Bain Jr (EDGE – Miami)
Von Miller led the team in sacks with nine. The Commanders need some pass-rush help, and Rueben Bain Jr. is powerful.

8. New Orleans Saints: Makai Lemon (WR – USC)
The Saints need more weapons for quarterback Tyler Shough. Makai Lemon, alongside Chris Olave, would be an excellent fit.

9. Kansas City Chiefs: Jeremiyah Love (RB – Notre Dame)
The Chiefs’ running game was abysmal last season. It will be a lot of fun seeing Jeremiyah Love in an offensive system with Eric Bieniemy.

10. Cincinnati Bengals: Caleb Downs (S – Ohio State)
The Bengals need a win in the secondary, and Caleb Downs is one of the best prospects in the entire draft.

11. Miami Dolphins: Mansoor Delane (CB – LSU)
The Dolphins have a new defensive-minded head coach. Not only that, but they cannot go into next season with Storm Duck as a starting outside corner.
12. Dallas Cowboys: Sonny Styles (LB – Ohio State)
The Cowboys need to replace Kenneth Murray Jr. While Sonny Styles plays off-ball, he covers well and has great speed.

13. Los Angeles Rams: Jermod McCoy (CB – Tennessee)
Jermod McCoy didn’t play last season, but his 2024 tape before the torn ACL was fantastic. He’ll be an immediate upgrad t0 a unit desperately in need of defensive back help.
14. Baltimore Ravens: Jordyn Tyson (WR – Arizona State)
With a new coaching staff coming in, perhaps the Ravens will emphasize getting Lamar Jackson a weapon besides Zay Flowers.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Olaivavega Ioane (OG – Penn State)
The Buccaneers would hope for Sonny Styles here, but if he is gone, Olaivavega Ioane would be an upgrade on the interior to help protect Baker Mayfield.

16. New York Jets: Ty Simpson (QB – Alabama)
I’m not a fan of this myself, but I get the feeling that if Ty Simpson is on the board for the Jets’ second pick, they’ll take him. After all, you have to throw darts at the position.

17. Detroit Lions: Peter Woods (DL – Clemson)
A pass-rusher could be an option here, too, but the Lions need more players along the defensive line, especially with an aging DJ Reader hitting free agency.

18. Minnesota Vikings: Dillon Thieneman (S – Oregon)
With Harrison Smith potentially retiring, the Vikings draft his replacement.
19. Carolina Panthers: Caleb Banks (DL – Florida)
Caleb Banks didn’t play much last season due to injury, but his explosiveness along the interior of the Panthers’ defensive line would be welcomed.

20. Dallas Cowboys: Keldric Faulk (EDGE – Auburn)
The Cowboys double up on defense and take a big EDGE rusher to help replenish the lost pass-rush production when they traded Micah Parsons.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: KC Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)
Denzel Boston could work here, too, but the Steelers need another weapon alongside DK Metcalf if they’re running back with Aaron Rodgers for another season.
Check out the full 2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report for KC Concepcion
22. Los Angeles Chargers: Kayden McDonald (DL – Ohio State)
Kayden McDonald racked up a lot of tackles and tackles for loss as an interior defensive lineman. He’ll fit right in with Jim Harbaugh’s culture.

23. Philadelphia Eagles: Cashius Howell (EDGE – Texas A&M)
With Jaelan Phillips hitting free agency, the Eagles draft his replacement.

24. Cleveland Browns: Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)
After taking an offensive tackle earlier, the Browns get another weapon for their quarterback, who’s likely to be Shedeur Sanders.

25. Chicago Bears: Lee Hunter (DL – Texas Tech)
The Bears need run defense help, and Lee Hunter will provide that, as well as some pass-rushing ability.

26. Buffalo Bills: T.J. Parker (EDGE – Clemson)
The Bills have had terrible luck with EDGE rushers, but they need to keep trying until they find someone. They cannot rely on the likes of Joey Bosa.

27. San Francisco 49ers: Kadyn Proctor (OT – Alabama)
Trent Williams‘ time in the NFL is coming to a close soon, and the 49ers need to be ready. Even if Williams comes back, Kadyn Proctor can play somewhere else along the offensive line.

28. Houston Texans: Caleb Lomu (OT – Utah)
The Texans desperately need more offensive line help for quarterback C.J. Stroud.

29. Los Angeles Rams: Avieon Terrell (CB – Clemson)
The Rams are doubling up on cornerback help. They need more talent back there, and they get two cornerbacks in the first round.
30. Denver Broncos: Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon)
Evan Engram is a free agent after 2026, and Kenyom Sadiq would be Jimmy Graham-lite with Sean Payton.
Check out the full 2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report for Kenyon Sadiq
31. New England Patriots: Akheem Mesidor (EDGE – Miami)
Akheem Mesidor is older, but he’ll be ready to go on Day 1 and help the Patriots’ pass rush.
Check out the full 2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report for Akheem Mesidor
32. Seattle Seahawks: Keith Abney II (CB – Arizona State)
The Seahawks will likely say goodbye to one of their cornerbacks this offseason in free agency, whether it’s Josh Jobe or Riq Woolen. Keith Abney II will be the replacement.
