Final 2026 NFL Mock Draft

The 2025 season is still happening, but it is never too early to look ahead. Here is the Final 2026 NFL Mock Draft.

Note: This will be updated before the draft if there are any changes.

2026 FINAL NFL Mock Draft

Round 1

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

Mendoza is clearly going to be the number one overall pick and the Raiders have set him up well for his start in the NFL.

2. New York Jets- Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State

The Jets need a difference maker on defense and Reese can be that, whether he is a full-time edge rusher or not.

3. Arizona Cardinals-David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech

While there are rumors that they want Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals are a candidate to trade back. If they don’t they can take offensive line or Bailey, who is a good pass rusher.

4. Tennessee Titans- Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

The Titans could go with offensive line, but Love is a premier player in the class and can help Cam Ward’s development.

5. New York Giants- Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State

Reports are saying that the Giants want Sonny Styles or Caleb Downs with this pick. Styles can be a difference maker in the middle of the defense as a sure tackler.

6. Cleveland Browns- Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

The Browns could use some offensive line help, but they can address that with their second first round pick. Tate can get vertical and win contested catches to help this offense.

7. Washington Commanders- Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

Washington’s defense can use a player like Downs, who is versatile and has a high football IQ.

8. New Orleans Saints- Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami

While edge rusher isn’t the biggest need, Bain could be a value pick. He has shorter arms, but is a good run defender and can add some help to the pass rush from the inside if needed.

9. Kansas City Chiefs- Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The Chiefs lost several secondary members this offseason and can use a shutdown corner like Delane to make up for it.

10. New York Giants- Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

Tyson is also a reported target for the Giants. He can help the offense and create a nice wide receiver room with Malik Nabers.

11. Miami Dolphins- Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

The Dolphins neglected the offensive line with the last coaching staff, but may want to shore it up early.

12. Dallas Cowboys- Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon

With the top two secondary players off the board, the Cowboys could go with Thieneman who has great range at the backend of a defense.

13. Los Angeles Rams- Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

A wide receiver is also in play here, but the Rams could go with an offensive lineman as well. Mauigoa can play tackle or guard.

14. Baltimore Ravens- Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State

Baltimore had bad guard play last season and Ioane can immediately fix that.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami

Tampa Bay can use an edge rusher who can make an immediate impact. Mesidor plays hard and is an older prospect who can help right away.

16. New York Jets- Makai Lemon, WR, USC

After selecting Reese, the Jets can get an offensive weapon in Lemon who can pair nicely with Garrett Wilson.

17. Detroit Lions- Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

Detroit will need to replace Taylor Decker and Proctor fits what Detroit’s type.

18. Minnesota Vikings- Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo

The Vikings can use more safety help and McNeil-Warren is a hard-hitting play.

19. Carolina Panthers- Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

Carolina can use more pass catchers to help the offense and Sadiq can diversify the offense.

20. Dallas Cowboys- Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

After the Cowboys selected a defensive back, they can get an edge player in Faulk, who has good measurables.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers- Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama

Ty Simpson will likely go in the first round. Barring a trade, the Steelers might be the most likely team to take him with a current pick. This might be the Steelers’ best chance to get a quarterback for the future.

22. Los Angeles Chargers- Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio State

A guard is very much in play for the Chargers, but they could wait on that. McDonald can help stop the run.

23. Philadelphia Eagles- Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana

The Eagles are likely going to trade A.J. Brown and could use another wide receiver to add to the mix.

24. Cleveland Browns- Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

They drafted a wide receiver with their first pick and now address the offensive line. Freeling is still a little raw, but has solid tools that can be developed.

25. Chicago Bears- Peter Woods, DL, Clemson

Chicago can use a defensive tackle to help the middle of their defense. Woods didn’t test well, but played well over several years at Clemson.

26. Buffalo Bills- CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

Buffalo can get a solid linebacker to replace those leaving in free agency.

27. San Francisco 49ers- Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Getting more offensive line help can help the 49ers now and for the future with Trent Williams aging.

28. Houston Texans- Caleb Banks, DL, Florida

Banks has been dealing with foot injuries, but the Texans could afford to take the risk on a player who can is really explosive for his size.

29. Kansas City Chiefs- Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Chiefs took a cornerback and now can get some help on the edge with Howell, who is undersized, but athletic.

30. Miami Dolphins- Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

McCoy is coming off a torn ACL and may fall down draft boards. The Dolphins can afford to take a risk on selecting a player that is injured, but could develop as they are building.

31. New England Patriots- Blake Miller, OT, Clemson

New England can use some offensive line help and Miller is an experienced starter who has some movement ability.

32. Seattle Seahawks- Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

The Seahawks lost some of their secondary players and can get one here at great value in Terrell.

Round 2

33. New York Jets- Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

34. Arizona Cardinals- Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State

35. Tennessee Titans- Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon

36. Las Vegas Raiders- Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

37. New York Giants- Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M
