2026 NFL Mock Draft: Jordyn Tyson Rises To The Giants At 1.10

This year's draft may be one of the bigger wildcards in quite some time. Teams have reportedly wanted to move back, yet can not find any suitors. Last-second surges up the draft boards have shaken up the field, and plenty of big names are all being fished around as potential trade bait.

Below is the most recent version of my 2026 NFL mock draft with a breakdown of each pick. By using a wisdom of the crowds approach, I have created a range for each player to help guide where they may get selected. For the rest of our draft coverage, be sure to check out our NFL Draft Guide for great insight and information.

Updated Round 1 NFL Mock Draft

1.01 Raiders - Fernando Mendoza (QB, Indiana)

A sure-fire number one overall pick, Fernando Mendoza’s pro day helped solidify his standing as the top prospect, giving the Las Vegas Raiders their franchise quarterback.

1.02 Jets - Arvell Reese (LB, Ohio State)

After losing his spot at the top of the odds board for the No. 2 pick, Arvell Reese quickly took it back and is pulling away with each passing day.

1.03 Cardinals - David Bailey (EDGE, Texas Tech)

With David Bailey now sitting comfortably behind Reese, he finds himself in a peculiar position heading into the draft. Arguably the top pure EDGE, Bailey may experience a slide if the Arizona Cardinals reach for an OT.

1.04 Titans - Jeremiyah Love (RB, Notre Dame)

The most likely landing spot for Jeremiyah Love, the Notre Dame running back would hit the ground running, giving Cam Ward the support he needs to help round back into form.

1.05 Giants - Sonny Styles (LB, Ohio State)

A plug-and-play LB, Sonny Styles can be utilized at multiple positions in the New York Giants front seven, giving John Harbaugh a Kyle Hamilton-type chess piece to help rebuild their defense.

1.06 Browns - Francis Mauigoa (OT, Miami)

While I do believe 1.06 is still a slight reach for Francis Mauigoa, the skill gap for WRs is as narrow as ever, making it worth waiting to take one later in the first round and using their first pick on the best OT in this year’s class.

1.07 Commanders - Caleb Downs (S, Ohio State)

Even though safeties tend to slide down the draft boards, numerous reports from owners and insiders have indicated Caleb Downs is a sure-fire top-10 pick, giving the Washington Commanders a ball hawk who can neutralize any pass attack.

1.08 Saints - Carnell Tate (WR, Ohio State)

Like Matthew Freedman, I am also skeptical of Carnell Tate, yet it’s hard to ignore how efficient he is as the top WR in our Rookie Super Model, giving the New Orleans Saints a productive pass catcher to help pull defensive attention away from Chris Olave.

1.09 Chiefs - Rueben Bain Jr. (EDGE, Miami)

Short arms aside, Rueben Bain Jr. is still a violent presence in the trenches, bolstering the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive line to help turn them back into a well-rounded Super Bowl contender.

1.10 Giants - Jordyn Tyson (WR, Arizona State)

After Jordyn Tyson's pro day, he's shot back up our NFL Draft Big Board, rivaling Tate for the first WR taken in the first round.

1.11 Dolphins - Mansoor Delane (CB, LSU)

After gutting out their roster in the offseason, the Miami Dolphins are in desperate need of acquiring the best available talent at 1.11, leading to Mansoor Delane, who is a lockdown corner capable of shutting down one side of the field.

1.12 Cowboys - Spencer Fano (OT, Utah)

While I debated slotting Jermod McCoy to the Dallas Cowboys, it’s tough to ignore his season-ending injury. Instead, I went with Spencer Fano, giving them some depth with the Utah OT capable of anchoring either side of the trenches.

1.13 Rams - Makai Lemon (WR, USC)

With Matthew Stafford in the twilight years of his career, the Los Angeles Rams will look to capitalize on their Super Bowl window, using their first-round pick on Makai Lemon to give their star quarterback another weapon at his disposal.

1.14 Ravens - Kenyon Sadiq (TE, Oregon)

A freak athlete capable of being lined out wide or moving into the inside in two TE sets, Kenyon Sadiq is a nightmare matchup for any defense that already has to deal with the headache of stopping Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.

1.15 Buccaneers - Jermod McCoy (CB, Tennessee)

When healthy, McCoy is a shut-down corner, yet injuries may hold him back from reaching his ceiling, which could result in a slide to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1.15.

1.16 Jets - Olaivavega Ioane (OG, Penn State)

With the top-three WRs already off the board, the New York Jets may look to trade back, or use their second first-round pick on Olaivavega Ioane, who Gene Clemons considers the best offensive lineman in this year’s draft class.

1.17 Lions - Monroe Freeling (OT, Georgia)

Even though the Detroit Lions are linked to Kadyn Proctor, Monroe Freeling falling to them at 1.17 would be tough to pass up, as his frame is better suited for the position and would allow Penei Sewell to stay at RT.

1.18 Vikings - Dillon Thieneman (S, Oregon)

With Minnesota needing to patch their hole at S, Dillon Thieneman has been commonly mocked to them at 1.18, giving the Vikings some versatility with the Oregon product capable of playing multiple positions on the back end.

1.19 Panthers - Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama)

With their offensive line ravaged by injuries, the Carolina Panthers must address their trenches, making Kadyn Proctor a great fit with the Alabama OT also able to fill in at OG if needed.

1.20 Cowboys - Keldric Faulk (EDGE, Auburn)

After targeting their offensive line with their first pick, the Cowboys turn their attention to the other side of the ball at 1.20, selecting Keldric Faulk, who led the nation in Run Stops over the course of his collegiate career.

1.21 Steelers - Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, Indiana)

Assuming Aaron Rodgers comes back for one more year, the Pittsburgh Steelers will look to surround him with more weapons, using their first-round pick on Omar Cooper Jr. to give their future Hall of Fame quarterback a viable WR3.

1.22 Chargers - Akheem Mesidor (EDGE, Miami)

With no iOL fitting the range at 1.22, the Los Angeles Chargers may opt to trade back for a team interested in Ty Simpson, or use their pick on Akheem Mesidor, giving their defensive line an instant boost in production.

1.23 Eagles - Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (S, Toledo)

If the Philadelphia Eagles decide to stay put, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren stands out as a potential selection, giving their secondary a lengthy presence who can use his size to match up against bigger bodies on the outside.

1.24 Browns - KC Concepcion (WR, Texas A&M)

After addressing their offensive line at 1.06, the Browns will look to patch their WR room at 1.24, making KC Concepcion the pick to inject some life into their underwhelming offense.

1.25 Bears - Peter Woods (DT, Clemson)

After Caleb Banks broke his foot at the combine, Peter Woods has shot up the draft board, labeling him as the new DT1 in this year’s class, giving the Chicago Bears a disruptive body in the trenches.

1.26 Bills - Denzel Boston (WR, Washington)

Even after the trade for DJ Moore, the Buffalo Bills are still thin at WR, turning their sights towards Denzel Boston to help give them more depth at the position to endure the full length of a grueling season.

1.27 49ers - Blake Miller (OT, Clemson)

Fresh off of extending Trent Williams, the San Francisco 49ers still need to find his eventual replacement, using their pick on Blake Miller, who has been a late riser after a stellar combine.

1.28 Texans - Kayden McDonald (DT, Ohio State)

With the Houston Texans in desperate need of patching their iOL, they may look to trade up with no players fitting this range. As of now, they stay put and use their pick on Kayden McDonald, bolstering an already dominant defensive line.

1.29 Chiefs - Max Iheanachor (OT, Arizona State)

Fresh off an injury, the Kansas City Chiefs need to protect Patrick Mahomes at all costs, using their second first-round pick on Max Iheanachor to help avoid any setbacks.

1.30 Dolphins - Caleb Lomu (OT, Utah)

Caleb Lomu’s slide in EDP is to the benefit of the Dolphins, giving them an experienced OT to protect Malik Willis.

1.31 Patriots - CJ Allen (LB, Georgia)

A fringe first-rounder, CJ Allen would give the New England Patriots a physical LB who is efficient at stopping the run by plugging gaps in the trenches before fully opening up.

1.32 Seahawks - Colton Hood (CB, Tennessee)

With Tariq Woolen gone, the Seattle Seahawks need to replace him to help avoid regression, using the last pick in the first round on Colton Hood.
