We're officially two weeks away from the start of the 2026 NFL draft, which kicks off with the first round on April 23 in Pittsburgh. Rounds 2 and 3 will take place April 24, with the final four rounds on April 25.
To get ready for the frenzy, we have the latest scoop for every team. We asked each of our 32 NFL Nation reporters to answer one big question focused on the mindset of the team they cover, then asked analysts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid to share what they're hearing about each team and which prospects could be perfect fits.
Here's everything our experts know, starting with the team with the first pick of the draft -- the Las Vegas Raiders -- and going in order of each team's first selection.
Jump to a team: ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | IND JAX | KC | LAC | LAR | LV | MIA | MIN NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF SEA | TB | TEN | WSH
Las Vegas Raiders
Picks: Nos. 1, 36, 67, 102, 117, 134, 175, 185, 208, 219
We know who the Raiders will draft at No. 1. What's the best approach with the remaining picks to help Fernando Mendoza?
The best strategy with the remaining nine picks would be bolstering Mendoza's support system. Even though the Raiders took two wide receivers in last year's draft (Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech), it wouldn't be surprising for them to grab another pass catcher, especially if Denzel Boston (Washington) falls to pick No. 36. Reuniting Mendoza with Elijah Sarratt (Indiana) would also be ideal, and a running back on Day 3 could be a possibility.
Defensively, Las Vegas needs to improve its safety depth and could draft multiple players there. Taking a defensive tackle such as Lee Hunter (Texas Tech) or Christen Miller (Georgia) in the second round is also realistic. -- Ryan McFadden
What we're hearing about the Raiders' draft: Pick No. 1 won't be a surprise, but where the Raiders go at No. 36 is a question a lot of NFL decision-makers are pondering. Based on the intel I've gathered, it'll be a pick to support Mendoza. That might be a wide receiver or a right tackle, depending on who's available. Like Ryan mentioned, Boston is a receiver who has been connected to the team. -- Miller
New York Jets
Picks: Nos. 2, 16, 33, 44, 103, 140, 179, 228, 242
Fill in the blank: The Jets will draft a quarterback in the __ round.
Fourth. Keep an eye on Drew Allar (Penn State), who recently had a private workout at the Jets' facility. He's a developmental prospect with great size (6-foot-5, 228 pounds) and arm strength. Of course, this becomes moot if they pick Ty Simpson (Alabama) at Nos. 16 or 33. -- Rich Cimini
