With Super Bowl LX in the books, we now know who will be on the clock with picks No. 31 and No. 32.

Below we dive into the predictions of the NFL Draft landing spots for the top dynasty rookies of 2026.

Dynasty Rookies: Predicting 2026 NFL Draft Landing Spots

1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza (QB – Indiana)

We all know this is happening.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
