With the latest information and rumors in mind, here's projecting how picks No. 1 through No. 100 might play out, including the lock at the top:JUMP TO: Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3NFL Mock Draft 2026Round 1 1. Las Vegas Raiders Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (6-5, 236 pounds)Mendoza to the Raiders is the only guarantee in the first round. Now the only question is whether he will beat out Kirk Cousins and start right away in Klint Kubiak's offense.2.

New York JetsArvell Reese, LB/EDGE, Ohio State (6-4, 241 pounds)The Jets have been debating Reese vs. David Bailey, because they're both dynamic pass rushers who also have a ton of athleticism to make big plays in every capacity. Reese offers just a little more versatility for Aaron Glenn.3.

Arizona CardinalsDavid Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech (6-4, 251 pounds)The Cardinals have become more enamored with Bailey as they try to boost their pass rush for retained defensive coordinator Nick Rallis. He also can be a huge needed coverage asset for them when needed.MORE: Sporting News' complete 7-round mock draft4. Tennessee TitansJeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (6-0, 212 pounds)The Titans have been attached to Love more during the early part of draft month, making him the second-most likeliest pick after the Mendoza lock.

Love would make sense to support Cam Ward well in Brian Daboll's offense as the team blows up a fading Tony Pollard-led backfield.5. New York GiantsSonny Styles, LB, Ohio State (6-5, 244 pounds)The Giants have some flexibility with this pick now that they have acquired No. 10 overall, too, from the Dexter Lawrence trade with the Bengals. They have loved Styles for a while as a needed dominant rangy playmaker.6.

Cleveland BrownsCarnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (6-2, 192 pounds)The Browns should be thinking a lot more about offense over defense early in the draft and it comes down to wide receiver or offensive line with this pick. Here's sticking with Tate from Columbus in state to become their new outside No. 1.MORE: NFL power rankings 2026 after free agency7. Washington CommandersCaleb Downs, S, Ohio State (6-0, 206 pounds)The Commanders are the strongest candidates to trade down in the first round with their multitude of needs that line up with the best players available.

Downs would make sense plenty if they stay put as the top impact defender on the board for Dan Quinn.8. New Orleans SaintsRueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami (6-2, 263 pounds)The Saints also could consider a wide receiver early but it would be difficult to pass on Bain as the ideal replacement for Cameron Jordan in Brandon Staley's defense.9. Kansas City ChiefsMansoor Delane, CB, LSU (6-0, 187 pounds)The Chiefs will be ready to jump on Delane, unless the Commanders make the bold move for him.

Cornerback is a huge need for Kansas City after moving on from Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson and Joshua Williams in the offseason.MORE: Mansoor Delane stuns with exceptional 40 time10. New York Giants (from Bengals)Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State (6-2, 203 pounds)The Giants have felt Tyson being the ideal versatile inside No. 2 to play off Malik Nabers. Tyson offers some big-slot and big-play pop now that any injury concerns have been mitigate.

This would be a great get for QB Jaxson Dart. Imagn Images 11. Miami DolphinsSpencer Fano, OT, Utah (6-6, 302 pounds)The Dolphins will have their eyes on Tyson, too, after moving on from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Instead of forcing themselves into wide receiver early with a second first-rounder, Fano would be the ideal offensive line pick for their rebuild.12. Dallas CowboysJermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (6-1, 188 pounds)The Cowboys have been fickle about McCoy given his injury concern but overall they like him in their new defensive scheme under Christian Parker to better support DaRon Bland.13. Los Angeles Rams (from Falcons)Makai Lemon, WR, USC (5-11, 192 pounds)The Rams have surprised some with their desire for a wide receiver, including different trade rumors with Davante Adams and A.J.

Brown. They also need to be somewhat concern with Puka Nacua off the field. Regardless, they could use a dynamic slot in the Amon-Ra St.

Brown to make MVP Matthew Stafford richer in a dangerous downfield passing game.14. Baltimore RavensOlaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State (6-4, 330 pounds)The Ravens have been attached to some wide receivers and offensive tackles early, but with Tyson and Lemon gone, it would make
