The 2026 NFL draft wrapped up Saturday in Pittsburgh. The three-day event saw 58 wide receivers and tight ends drafted -- tied for the most in a seven-round draft (i.e., since 1994) -- and a few early surprises, including the Arizona Cardinals taking Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 3, the Tennessee Titans selecting Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate fourth and, perhaps most of all, the Los Angeles Rams drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson 13th.
There are 257 new faces joining the league, but will they help solve teams' woes? What questions linger after the three-day player selection extravaganza, and what comes next?
We asked our NFL Nation reporters to tell us the most pressing question facing the teams they cover coming out of this weekend. Read their postdraft insights below.

AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Did the Bills do enough to address the defense?
The Bills put significant draft resources into their defense, using six of the team's 10 picks on the unit. Many of the team's newest players project to begin as backups. In free agency, the Bills added a few new defenders (three projected starters) and will be relying on players from last season's team to mesh well in coordinator Jim Leonhard's scheme.
GM Brandon Beane likes to sign free agents after the draft, but how this unit comes together, or whether other investments should have been made, will be an unknown until the season gets underway. -- Alaina Getzenberg
Miami Dolphins
Will taking Kadyn Proctor over Caleb Downs and Rueben Bain pay off?
Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was targeting Proctor at pick No. 11 and got "free money" in the form of two fifth-round picks from the Cowboys to move down one spot. Sullivan spoke highly of Proctor's "rare" blend of size and skill, but Proctor's career will likely be compared to that of Downs and Bain, who were on the board when Proctor was taken.
The Dolphins are confident they made the right decision, and if Proctor reaches his full potential, it'll be hard to argue against them. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques
