NFL teams are finalizing their draft boards with the 2026 draft just days away.The 91st edition of the NFL Draft will be held from April 23-25, with Pittsburgh hosting for the first time since 1948. USA TODAY Sports examines the biggest position of need for all 32 teams.Arizona CardinalsBiggest position of need: QuarterbackThe word out of the NFL owners meetings was that the Cardinals are preparing to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. Brissett is a serviceable bridge QB, but he’s not the long-term solution at the position.

Gardner Minshew is currently penciled in as the backup quarterback. The Cardinals could draft a QB or wait until next year’s draft where the quarterback class is considerably better.Atlanta FalconsBiggest position of need: TackleFalcons agreed to terms with tackle Jawaan Taylor on the same day tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement. Taylor is a short-term answer at right tackle, a position tasked with protecting the blindside of either Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa, both of whom are left-handed.

Atlanta also must consider an edge rusher. James Pearce Jr. is facing three felony charges in Florida in relation to allegedly crashing his car into one driven by his ex-girlfriend. Pearce could be disciplined by the NFL pending the investigation.Baltimore RavensBiggest position of need: Interior offensive lineThe free agent loss of center Tyler Linderbaum has a ripple effect across Baltimore’s offensive line, especially in the interior.

The Ravens signed veteran center Danny Pinter and guard John Simpson in free agency. However, work still needs to be done to solidify the interior of their offensive line. Cornerback depth is another area the Ravens could look to address after they finished at the bottom of the AFC in pass defense.Buffalo BillsBiggest position of need: Nose tackleNew Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is transitioning the unit to a 3-4 defensive scheme.

Ed Oliver is a traditional three-technique defensive tackle and T.J. Sanders isn’t a traditional nose tackle. That leaves Deone Walker as Buffalo’s nose tackle.

More depth and even a potential starter can be added in the draft.Carolina PanthersBiggest position of need: Tight endThe Panthers addressed their offseason’s biggest position of need in free agency with the addition of edge rusher Jaelan Phillips. Carolina’s focus must now shift on offense. The Panthers had the worst pass offense of any team that qualified for the playoffs last season, no Carolina tight end had more than 29 catches.Chicago BearsBiggest position of need: Edge rusherSafety Coby Bryant was the type of player Chicago’s secondary needed, especially after the departures of DBs Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker and Jonathan Owens, but the Bears’ ability to rush the passer is still a weakness.

Chicago ranked second to last in pass rush win rate last year, per ESPN.Cincinnati BengalsBiggest position of need: Edge rusherThe Bengals lost edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to their division rival Ravens this offseason, but Cincinnati added Boye Mafe to help replace Hendrickson. The Bengals still have work to do at defensive end. Cincinnati had the worst pass rush win rate in the NFL in 2025, per ESPN.Cleveland BrownsBiggest position of need: Wide receiverThe Browns have revamped their offensive line, and they might not be done.

Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders appear to be the two front runners vying for the QB1 job. On the outside, wide receiver is a glaring position of need. Jerry Jeudy was the Browns’ only wide receiver with more than 25 receptions last season.

Dallas CowboysBiggest position of need: Inside linebackerThe Cowboys are extremely thin at inside linebacker, where DeMarvion Overshown is the team’s only viable starter. Dallas owns three picks in the top 100, including two in the first round. Look for the Cowboys to address the position early in the draft.Denver BroncosBiggest position of need: Tight endA long-term answer at tight end is a need with Evan Engram entering the final year of his contract.

Engram had the third most receptions on the Broncos in 2025. He’s always been a productive pass catcher but not much of a blocker.Detroit LionsBiggest position of need: TackleThe Lions released veteran left tackle Taylor Decker in March, and there are rumblings that tackle Penei Sewell might move over to the left side after starring at the position at Oregon. Detroit needs a starter at tackle on the opposite side of wherever Sewell lines up.

The Lions ranked 31st in the NFL in pass block win rate last year, per ESPN.Green Bay PackersBiggest position of need: CornerbackThe Packers lost defensive starters, including edge Rashan Gary and LB Quay Walker. But cornerback is Green Bay’s most pressing need because the team doesn’t have a No. 1 cornerback on its roster. CB Benjamin St-Juste was brought aboard in free agency, but more work should be done at the position.Houston TexansBiggest position of need: Interior offensive lineSolidifying the trenches
