2026 NFL Mock Draft: Entire first-round mock draft predictions

The NFL season is approaching as teams report for training camp, with the Hall of Fame game imminent and the new NCAA Football game released. This signals the need to prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft, as teams aim to win in 2025 but will need to reload after the season.

The New Orleans Saints face a particularly poor quarterback situation. While they have younger QBs with upside, they also drafted an older prospect, Tyler Shough (age 26). This situation could significantly hinder the team despite other roster strengths. Recent retirements, including safety Tyrann Mathieu, add to the challenges for new head coach Kellen Moore.

The Cleveland Browns enter 2025 training camp with the NFL's worst quarterback situation and numerous roster questions. They are predicted to be major sellers at the trade deadline, accumulating draft picks before a likely reset in 2026. Given their prolonged struggles at quarterback ("QB hell"), they must get their next high draft pick QB selection right. After the season, the Browns are expected to move on from Deshaun Watson and Joe Flacco, potentially drafting either Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders while trading the other.
