Our 2026 NFL mock draft.

The NFL draft order is based off the reverse standings, with playoff format taken into consideration, as of December 22nd.

The 2026 NFL Draft is set to be the 91st annual event where NFL teams select newly eligible collegiate players to shape the future of their franchises. This draft is generating early buzz as one of the most prospect-rich classes in recent memory, with analysts highlighting deep talent pools from powerhouse college programs like Penn State, Clemson, Texas, and Alabama.

This year’s class is noted for elite strength at several positions—especially offensive tackle, edge rusher, and quarterback. The absence of a clear-cut No.1 pick means that draft stock could swing dramatically during the NCAA campaign.

1st round mock - updated December 22nd.
