The NFL has its matchup set for Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, Calif., with the New England Patriots playing the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8. 

With those two teams getting an extra week before the big game, all 32 teams will get a closer look at a lot of top 2026 draft prospects this week at the Senior Bowl.

Here’s looking at the latest first-round projections, with the draft order set through picks No. 1 through No. 30 after the conference championship games:

NFL Mock Draft 2026

1. Las Vegas Raiders 

• Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (6-5, 225 pounds)

The Raiders, with the No. 1 pick for the second time in franchise history, need to go after a non-bust quarterback right off the top. Mendoza, a prolific pocket-passing winner through the CFP championship game, looks the part with his arm and intangibles, two things that should appeal to the part-owner influence of Tom Brady.

2. New York Jets

• Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami (6-3, 275 pounds)

With no Oregon’s Dante Moore to take as their next franchise passer, the Jets can pivot to a huge defensive need to better rush the passer for Aaron Glenn. Bain can take over games as a pass-rusher and kept boosting his stock as the Hurricanes’ most impactful defender during their CFP championship run.

3. Arizona Cardinals

• Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State (6-0, 205 pounds)

The Cardinals would be reaching to consider quarterback this early. They also have a need to add more defensive firepower in moving on from Jonathan Gannon. This do-everything playmaker is exactly what they need in a rebuild of the entire attack.

4. Tennessee Titans

• Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State (6-2, 200 pounds)

The Titans need to get more playmakers for what they hope will be a dynamic new passing offense with Cam Ward in Year 2. Tyson would make a lot of sense early as a sharp, good-hands route-runner who can get open for Ward as a consistent three-down go-to guy.

5. New York Giants

• Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (6-6, 315 pounds)

The Giants battled through injuries to left tackle Andrew Thomas and other offensive linemen in Jaxson Dart’s rookie season, so boosting his protection and run blocking will be imperative for Joe Schoen and John Harbaugh. Mauigoa can give them the needed dominant pass protector.

6. Cleveland Browns

• Spencer Fano, OT, Utah (6-6, 302 pounds)

The Browns also will have the offensive line in mind early to better protect whomever they start at quarterback and also rebuild their aging front. Fano is good to land first and consider a QB to replace Shedeur Sanders later with a second pick later.

7. Washington Commanders

• Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State (6-4, 243 pounds)

The Commanders need to get someone who can roam around and make plays on the second level and also come up and be active as a pass rusher. Dan Quinn will see a Micah Parsons-like chess piece he once had in Dallas.

8. New Orleans Saints

• David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech (6-3, 250 pounds)

The Saints need to upgrade the pass rush for Brandon Staley and for the 3-4 base scheme, Bailey can be impactful both pressuring quarterbacks and dropping back to make plays in coverage.

9. Kansas City Chiefs

• Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (6-0, 214 pounds)

The Chiefs went down this path in 2020 to limited results with Clyde Edwards-Helaire as a bust No. 32 overall pick. But it’s time to clean up the backfield again with the oft-injured Isiah Pacheco and aging Kareem Hunt, while keeping Brashard Smith as the receiving change of pace for Love’s power, explosive workhorse role.

10. Cincinnati Bengals

• Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn (6-6, 285 pounds)

The Bengals need to upgrade their pass rush with Trey Hendrickson looking like he will walk in free agency. Faulk can replace Hendrickson’s high energy and production and also become a real outside asset vs. the run.

11. Miami Dolphins

• Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (6-0, 193 pounds)

The Dolphins need to boost cornerback after trading Jalen Ramsey and McCoy gives them the size, toughness and physicality to be stronger in man coverage. 

12. Dallas Cowboys

• Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (6-3, 195 pounds)

The Cowboys need to be prepared for letting George Pickens leave in free agency and they could get a better, more reliable version of his downfield outside threat to help CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott.

13. Los Angeles Rams (from Falcons)

• Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU (6-0, 190 pounds)

The Rams have some free-agent concerns at corner, both outside and inside, and need to boost their size for single coverage.

14. Baltimore Ravens

• Peter Woods, DT, Clemson (6-3, 315 pounds)

The Ravens need to beef up their impact up front with a versatile, explosive interior disruptor. Woods is an ideal fit for new coach Jesse Minter’s scheme.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State (6-4, 243 pounds)

The Buccaneers need to restore the versatility in their second level for Todd Bowles’ defense. Styles is just a notch or two below Reese in providing that rangy playmaking.

16. New York Jets (from Colts)

• Makai Lemon, WR, USC (5-11, 195 pounds)

The Jets need to get Garrett Wilson some receiving help for their presumed new franchise QB. He would be a great complement with his route-running and big-play ability in the open field after the catch.

17. Detroit Lions

• T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson (6-3, 265 pounds)

The Lions need to have a physical thumper to better complement Aidan Hutchinson at end in their 4-3. Parker’s strength and power can feed well off Hutchinson’s quickness.

18. Minnesota Vikings

• Denzel Boston, WR, Washington (6-4, 209 pounds)

The Vikings need to go for a big, strong physical threat at the receiver to draw some attention away from Justin Jefferson on the outside and Boston can do that with his toughness to catch balls in tight coverage.

19. Carolina Panthers

• Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State (6-4, 330 pounds)

The Panthers need some interior line help in front of Bryce Young and the running game and Ioane would be a nice upgrade on either the left or right side.

20. Dallas Cowboys (from Packers)

• Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson (5-11, 180 pounds)

The Cowboys got tired of Trevon Diggs’ inconsistency and need to have a sound, well-rounded cornerback who can handle different kinds of coverage for what will be a new-look defense minus fired coordinator Matt Eberflus. Terrell, brother of Falcon A.J. Terrell, is well-rounded with his versatile athleticism and smarts to make plays anywhere on the ball.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers

• KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M (5-11, 190 pounds)

The Steelers need to get a second big-play threat to support DK Metcalf and Concepcion would be the ideal throwback, regardless of who’s quarterbacking (now likely still Aaron Rodgers), with his sharp route-running and quickness to add juice inside and out.

22. Los Angeles Chargers 

• Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State (6-3, 326 pounds)

The Chargers need to beef up both lines for Jim Harbaugh but defense can come first, hoping that they can just get healthy at offensive tackle. McDonald would make a good transition to thrive for them up front with Woods off the board.

23. Philadelphia Eagles

• Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon (6-3, 245 pounds)

Dallas Goedert had a career year scoring touchdowns but he just turned 31 years old and is a pending free agent. Sadiq would add another welcome explosive element to create mismatches between A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to get open down the seam for Jalen Hurts.

24. Cleveland Browns (from Jaguars)

• Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (6-2, 208 pounds)

The Browns can’t ignore the need for getting a bona fide young drafted franchise QB moving on from Kevin Stefanski. Simpson would give them some short-area accuracy, leadership and athleticism in the Bo Nix mold.

25. Chicago Bears

• Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-2, 248 pounds)

The Bears need more natural pass-rush help for Dennis Allen so he has a front-four bookend to facilitate the defense opposite Montez Sweat. Howell would make sense as a defensive reinforcement first over any more help for Caleb Williams.

26. Buffalo Bills

• R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma (6-2, 249 pounds)

The Bills’ pass rush disappeared in the playoffs when they needed it most, costing defensive-minded coach Sean McDermott his job. Thomas can bring the needed energy and production, packing a wallop in a smaller, relentless frame.

27. San Francisco 49ers

• Kaydn Proetor, OT, Alabama (6-7, 366 pounds)

Proctor would make a lot of sense with Trent Williams needing to be replaced soon at age 37. He would be a big rock to seamlessly fit right into Kyle Shanahan’s run-blocking scheme before succeeding Williams.

28. Houston Texans

• Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon (6-5, 318 pounds)

The Texans’ weak offensive line might lose average right guard Ed Ingram in free agency and needs more youthful talent upgrades. Pregnon moves so well for such a physical, nasty presence inside.

29. Los Angeles Rams

• Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia (6-7, 315 pounds)

The Rams need a developmental tackle behind Alaric Jackson and Rob Havenstein, the latter coming off two injury-riddled seasons and turning 34 in May. Freeling’s massive frame and athleticism should be intriguing to turn some athletic potential into dominance in time.

30. Denver Broncos

• C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia (6-1, 235 pounds)

The Broncos may need to replace free agent Alex Singleton and it would make sense to replace him with this latest Bulldogs rangy starter, who covers a lot of ground to make big plays vs. run and pass.
