2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundups (By NFL Franchise)

Leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will round up NFL mock drafts by franchise for a more convenient way to view who's being mocked to a franchise.

Arizona Cardinals 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will update our Arizona Cardinals Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Arizona Cardinals from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks from recent NFL mock drafts for the Arizona Cardinals:

NFL.com — Charles Davis

3. Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (FL)

The Cardinals must improve on the offensive line under new head coach Mike LaFleur. Mauigoa brings a dose of nastiness to the unit.

The Athletic — NFL Writers

3. Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (FL)

The Cardinals had brief discussions* with the Raiders on a package that would include quarterback Kyler Murray and the No. 3 pick for the chance to draft Mendoza. (*By "brief," we mean we could hear laughter coming through our Slack channel.) All good. The Cardinals can use free agency to settle their QB situation and the draft to bolster their offensive line. Arizona's performance up front last season was terrible, so immediate help is needed. At 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, Mauigoa has great size and a mean streak the Cardinals need. Along with left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., he gives them solid building blocks up front. Baby steps.

CBS Sports — Fornelli

3. Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

There is depth at the tackle spot in this class, even if there isn't a no-doubt franchise left tackle prospect. Spencer Fano currently sits at the top of my board among tackle prospects. He's incredible in the run game but can be overpowered by bigger defenders in pass pro.

2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundups - By Prospect

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will update our NFL mock draft roundup for many of the top prospects.

Jeremiyah Love 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Jeremiyah Love has appeared:

NFL.com — Charles Davis

No. 18 overall — Minnesota Vikings

Are teams undervaluing the running back position again? The Vikings cannot pass on a top-three talent in this year's draft. Head coach Kevin O'Connell will find plenty of plays for him.

The Athletic — NFL Writers

No. 8 overall — New Orleans Saints

Third-best overall player in Brugler's top 100 and an offensive weapon for the Saints? Sign me up! Even if Alvin Kamara remains on the roster, there's no doubt Saints coach Kellen Moore will find ways to use Love within the improving offense led by second-year QB Tyler Shough. And once Kamara is gone, Love will be a true No. 1 back for New Orleans. I pondered either Love or wide receiver Carnell Tate at this slot. I'd be happy with either, but Love feels like a can't-miss player.

CBS Sports — Fornelli

No. 8 overall — New Orleans Saints

I raised a lot of eyebrows last year when I said I liked Jeremiyah Love more than Ashton Jeanty, and my feelings on the subject haven't changed. Love is a versatile, special playmaker who will quickly prove to be one of the better running backs in the NFL. He's a ready-made replacement for Alvin Kamara.

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Arch Manning stays in school, 4 QBs still go top 8

Updated: Thursday, May 8, 2025

The 2025 NFL Draft is barely behind us, but it's never too early to look ahead to next year's draft. (Or the year after that?)

The prospect you'll likely see most often atop mock drafts — Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning — won't appear in this one. It's an intentional omission, as I expect Manning to return to Austin for another season in 2026 before declaring for 2027's draft.

In fact, I projected the first 10 picks of 2027 NFL mock draft, and Manning appears in that mock. Especially in the era of NIL deals in college football, it's difficult to imagine his support network encouraging him to leave after only one season as the starter.

Manning isn't the only reason to potentially be excited for 2027. Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith would have been the first wide receiver off the board if he were eligible for the 2026 draft. In fact, if the prospects in my 2027 mock were eligible and/or included in this mock, it's possible that group could represent the first five picks.

For now, let's focus on players who are eligible for 2026 and I expect to declare.

The draft order used in this mock is based solely on the inverse of Super Bowl 60 odds with adjustments made to account for seven AFC and NFC playoff teams and not my hatred for your team (even if I do hate your team).

This excercise is more like a watch list of prospects who are then matched with teams that appear to be good fits at this stage, but obviously there is much that can and will change between now and April 2026.

1. Cleveland Browns: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State

We've seen examples where quarterbacks — Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, and Cam Ward, to name a few — have ascended from a mid-round projection before their final season to eventually go first (or second) overall. Following a down year, there are a number of quarterbacks who should hear their name called early in the draft. In addition, Allar would have likely been a top-10 pick had he declared in this past draft cycle as some teams were encouraging him to do, according to reports.

Perhaps a perfect fit to play in Cleveland and the rough-and-tumble AFC North, Allar has prototypical size and the arm strength to make all the throws anywhere on the field. Continued development by the former five-star recruit from Medina (OH) could catapult him to the top of the draft board and under center for his hometown team.

2. New York Jets: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina

As the youngest quarterback in this mock, Sellers, who won't turn 21 until after the 2026 NFL Draft, may opt to return for another season. If he can improve his consistency and cut down on turnovers, however, the dual-threat's combination of elite size, arm strength and mobility give him as much upside as any quarterback in this draft class if he declares. While Justin Fields is under contract through 2026, Aaron Glenn, Darren Mougey, etc. could look for an upgrade.

2027 NFL Mock Draft: Arch Manning and 4 WRs in Top 10

Updated: Thursday, May 8, 2025

While I'd argue it's never too early to look ahead to next year's draft (and I did that with my 2026 NFL mock draft), I'm not sure what it says about me if I project two drafts from now.

It's possible (but perhaps unlikely) that Texas quarterback Arch Manning will enter next April's NFL draft, but there are a number of elite true sophomore prospects who won't be eligible until 2027 at the earliest.

As an example, the 2027 wide receiver class should be more like the 2024 version (Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, Brian Thomas Jr., etc.) than 2025's or even 2026's at the top. In this way-too-early look at the 2027 class, there are four wide receivers in the top 10.

The draft order was randomly determined using Super Bowl 60 odds weightings. So, in other words, all 32 teams had the potential to pick in the top 10, but the Philadelphia Eagles had the lowest odds (0.3%) as the current Super Bowl favorites and the Cleveland Browns had the highest odds (12.08%) to pick in the top 10.

To be fair, my favorite team (which will certainly win Super Bowl 61) is picking inside this top 10 as well.

With that said, let's get to how the top 10 picks could play out.

1. New York Giants: Arch Manning, QB, Texas

After backing up Quinn Ewers for two seasons, odds that Manning will return for another season at Texas in 2026 are greater than the odds he's one-and-done as a starter. Manning, the top overall recruit in the 2023 class, is much more athletic than his famous uncles Peyton and Eli and has good size (6'4", 225), throws well on the move and can be used on designed runs. While the Giants traded up to draft Jaxson Dart last month, it's likely that a new regime will be calling the shots if the Giants are picking third (in 2026) and then first (in 2027). Especially given New York's history with the Mannings, it may be difficult to pass on Arch in this scenario.

Giants pick in our 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

2. Miami Dolphins: Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State

If Smith were eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft (or 2026), he would have been the first (full-time) wide receiver selected. By the time he's done, it's possible that he's the greatest wide receiver prospect we've ever seen. He has an elite combination of size, speed, body control, hands and run-after-catch ability.

The 2025 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror, and soon we will turn our attention to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Before that point, however, it's time for an initial reaction to what happened this past weekend. Who were the winners and losers of the 2025 NFL Draft?
