College Football's Top Picks: Who's Going Where in the 2026 NFL Draft?

The 2026 NFL Draft is shaping up to be quite the event, with plenty of talent from the college football scene making the jump to the pros. The Indiana Hoosiers are celebrating their national championship win, and quarterback Fernando Mendoza is expected to be the first pick overall. But he's not the only star from this year's college football season making waves. Miami is also sending a bunch of players to the NFL, with several of them expected to be top picks. The draft order has shifted a bit since the season ended, with some teams moving up or down the board. The Las Vegas Raiders are now on the clock, and they're expected to take Mendoza. The New York Jets, who were hoping to land a quarterback, might have to wait until next year's draft. Instead, they're looking at defensive players like Arvell Reese from Ohio State. The Arizona Cardinals are also in the market for a quarterback, but they might have to wait until next year's draft as well. Instead, they're looking at offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa from Miami. The Tennessee Titans are in the market for a defensive end, and Rueben Bain Jr. from Miami is expected to be their pick. The New York Giants are looking to add some help for their quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State is expected to be their pick. The Cleveland Browns are also in the market for an offensive tackle, and Spencer Fano from Utah is expected to be their pick.The Washington Commanders are looking to add some help along the defensive front, and David Bailey from Texas Tech is expected to be their pick. The New Orleans Saints are looking to add some help for their quarterback Tyler Shough, and Carnell Tate from Ohio State is expected to be their pick. The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to add some help for their run game, and Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame is expected to be their pick. The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to add some help for their defense, and Caleb Downs from Ohio State is expected to be their pick. But the draft isn't just about the top 10 picks. The Minnesota Vikings are in a bit of a tough spot, as they're not quite good enough to compete for a championship, but they're not bad enough to get a top pick in the draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to add a quarterback, and Ty Simpson from Alabama is expected to be their pick. The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to add some help for their defense, and T. J. Parker from Clemson is expected to be their pick. The Buffalo Bills are looking to add some help for their passing game, and Denzel Boston from Washington is expected to be their pick. But the draft is always full of surprises, and it's anyone's guess who will end up where. One thing is for sure, though: the 2026 NFL Draft is going to be one to remember.
