The Seattle Seahawks have selected RB Jadarian Price with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Following the departure of Kenneth Walker III to the Chiefs, the Seahawks find a replacement with the last pick of the first round. Price split time with Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame and totaled 674 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Fighting Irish last season. He has good size and speed and is more of a downhill runner who does a good job finding open lanes. He also had three kickoff returns for touchdowns and, although that job is locked up by Rashid Shaheed, he does give the Seahawks another option on special teams as well. Price's style of running should play nicely with Zach Charbonnet and newly-acquired Emanuel Wilson.
The New York Jets have selected WR Omar Cooper Jr. with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Jets traded back into the first round to select Cooper to pair him with Garrett Wilson at wide receiver heading into 2026. Cooper led Indiana with 69 receptions and 937 receiving yards in 16 games. Between Cooper and Kenyon Sadiq, the Jets have instantly made their offense better.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected DT Peter Woods with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: Woods was a second-team AP All-American in 2025 after starting 12 games and tallying 30 tackles and two sacks. He has the ability to collapse the pocket, but does lack the ability to win on some solo rushes. Woods should slide in as a solid depth piece for the Chiefs.
The New England Patriots have selected OL Caleb Lomu with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots traded up in the first round to select Lomu with the 28th overall pick. Drafted out of Utah, Lomu is an impressive athlete with the explosiveness, speed, awareness, and technique to execute a variety of assignments in the run game. He is also quick enough to protect the edge against speed in the passing game. He could challenge for a starting role right away in 2026, potentially at left tackle, as the Patriots' offensive line was exploited against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.
The Houston Texans have selected OL Keylan Rutledge with the No. 26 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact:
The Chicago Bears have selected S Dillon Thieneman with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: Thieneman is known to have a lot of range and should provide the Bears with a piece they can move all around the field. He started all 15 games for the Ducks last season, tallying 95 tackles and 2 interceptions. With 4.35 speed, Thieneman should immediately make the Bears' defense better heading into 2026.
The Cleveland Browns have selected WR KC Concepcion with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Concepcion heads to Cleveland with the 24th overall pick and he becomes the fourth receiver to be taken in the first round. Concepcion averaged 15.1 yards per catch with Texas A&M and led the Aggies in yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns last season. He has average size (5-11, 196), but has great speed, especially in the open field. He had some drop issues last season, but he can be utilized in a number of different ways including designed touches out of the backfield and screens that result in explosive plays. Concepcion was also a threat on special teams, returning two punts for touchdowns in 2025. He could develop into a Rashid Shaheed type of player for the Browns and he should be given an opportunity to provide an immediate impact at both receiver and in the return game in 2026.
The Los Angeles Chargers have selected LB Akheem Mesidor with the No. 22 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: After a stellar 2025, the Chargers fortified their defense even more with a very physical Mesidor. Mesidor is an older prospect at 25 years old, so the hope is that he will be an immediate contributor for Los Angeles.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected OT Max Iheanachor with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: Iheanachor has a ton of upside and could really has all of the measurables to be molded into a great right tackle for the Steelers. Iheanachor has good length and should fit well in an AFC North that has top level pass rushers.
The Philadelphia Eagles have selected WR Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: With the rumors surrounding the impending trade of A.J. Brown, the Eagles traded up three spots to land Lemon with the 20th overall pick. And, the selection of Lemon certainly seems like the icing on the cake for a Brown deal. Primarily playing from the slot at USC, Lemon led the Trojans in receiving yards over the past two seasons. Lemon was projected to go much earlier in the draft, so the Eagles jumped ahead of the Steelers - who were also rumored to be targeting receivers in this year's draft - to grab him. Lemon is a tough slot receiver who should get plenty of yards after the catch. He'll join DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown as the headliners of the receiving corps (assuming A.J. Brown is traded) for QB Jalen Hurts as the Eagles will look to spread the wealth a bit more offensively in 2026.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected DT Caleb Banks with the No. 18 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Banks will join a Vikings O-line that struggled with consistency throughout 2025. The addition of Banks will provide more depth and more protection for quarterback JJ McCarthy as he looks to improve from last year's struggling performance.
The Detroit Lions have selected OT Blake Miller with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: This could signal the Lions willingness to move Penei Sewell back to left tackle and have Miller serve as the right tackle, where he played all but one game in his college career. Miller was excellent for Clemson last season, allowing just 14 pressures and two sacks. A key for the Lions here is his ability to stay on the field, as Miller started at least 13 games in all four of his college seasons.
The New York Jets have selected TE Kenyon Sadiq with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Sadiq becomes the first tight end taken off the board as he heads to the Jets with the 16th overall pick. Drafted out of Oregon, Sadiq has the frame of a tight end with the athleticism of a wide receiver and, despite his average size (6-3, 241) for the position, also has a history of being a very good blocker. He averaged only 21.2 yards receiving per game in college, but his combine elevated his stock - especially his 4.39 40-yard dash. Sadiq also has history of being used as an edge-setting blocker and lead option with the running game for the backs and quarterback-designed runs - and could be used similarly in New York.
The Baltimore Ravens have selected OL Olaivavega Ioane with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Ioane will jump in as an immediate starter to protect superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson. Ioane is a well-rounded lineman and should bolster both the run and pass game in Baltimore.
The Los Angeles Rams have selected QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: There was talk pre-draft that a team would likely trade back into the first round to take the former Alabama QB. The Rams reportedly let QB Matthew Stafford know that they were going to take Simpson and that the plan is for Simpson to take over when Stafford chooses to retire. There are questions about his arm velocity that will need to be worked out, but if there is any head coach that can develop the young quarterback, it is likely head coach Sean McVay.
The Miami Dolphins have selected OL Kadyn Proctor with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Proctor heads to the Dolphins as the new front office continues to prioritize the offensive line as part of their rebuild. Proctor is a multi-year starter at Alabama at left tackle and has elite size (6-6, 352) and strength. The left tackle position in Miami is pretty well locked up with the emergence of Patrick Paul. However, RT Austin Jackson has one year left on his contract so Proctor could challenge for that job or move inside to guard. Either way, Proctor is a high-upside pick who may see 2026 as a development year who could turn into an elite lineman entering 2027 and beyond.
The New York Giants have selected OL Francis Mauigoa with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Giants strengthen their trenches with Mauigoa. While the Giants have veteran experience on the offensive line, they are adding more youth to the group to protect Jaxson Dart in John Harbaugh’s first year with the Giants.
The Cleveland Browns have selected OT Spencer Fano with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact: Fano is the first offensive lineman off the board in the 2026 draft, and by the Browns trading back to the No. 9 pick, they also added a third and fifth round draft pick in the process. Fano is known to be an excellent pull blocker and has plenty of experience in running schemes, which the Browns should do a lot of in 2026.
The New Orleans Saints have selected WR Jordyn Tyson with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Tyson becomes the second wide receiver taken in the first eight picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. After transferring from Colorado, Tyson led Arizona State in receiving yards in each of his last two seasons. He does, however, come with a long medical track record with a horrible knee injury in 2022 (ACL, MCL, PCL), a broken collarbone in 2024, and a hamstring injury in 2025. Last year, the Saints' second receiver, behind Chris Olave, was Devaughn Vele who finished with 25 catches for 293 yards in 2025. So, Tyson should start opposite Olave in New Orleans from day one and form an exciting receiving duo for second-year QB Tyler Shough.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected CB Mansoor Delane with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs traded up to pick 6 to get the corner help they needed after trading Trent McDuffie to the Rams. Delane will look to be a lockdown corner and have an immediate impact on the defensive side of the ball.
