The 2026 NFL Draft is just days away, and teams are busying preparing for the selection show in Pittsburgh.
The draft will get underway on Thursday in the Steel City, with the Las Vegas Raiders on the clock with the first overall pick as teams work to catch up with the Seattle Seahawks after they beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
When does the draft start? Where will the Chicago Bears pick? Who are some of the top prospects on the board?
Here’s everything you need to know about the draft.
What is the NFL Draft schedule for this week?
The NFL Draft will get underway at 7 p.m. Central time on Thursday, with the first round taking place on that date. The Las Vegas Raiders have the top pick in the first round, followed by the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and New York Giants.
The second and third rounds of the draft will take place on Friday night, with coverage getting underway at 6 p.m.
The final four rounds of the draft will be held on Saturday morning, with coverage beginning at 11 a.m.
Where can fans watch the NFL Draft?
Fans will be able to watch the NFL Draft on ESPN, ABC, and the NFL Network, according to the league.
Where do the Chicago Bears pick?
Since they made the NFC Divisional Round this season, the Bears will be picking lower in the draft than they have in previous seasons.
Their first selection will be made at No. 25 on Thursday night, but then they will have two picks in the second round, the No. 57 pick and the No. 60 pick. They acquired the No. 57 selection from the Buffalo Bills in the D.J. Moore trade earlier this offseason.
The Bears also own picks No. 89 (third round), No. 129 (fourth round), and Nos. 239 and 241 (seventh round).
Who are some of this year’s top prospects?
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is almost assuredly going to go with the top overall selection to the Raiders, but beyond that, there are some big questions on how the draft will proceed.
Ohio State edge rusher Arvell Reese is one of the most highly touted players in this year’s draft, along with Texas Tech’s David Bailey and LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane.
There are some high-profile wide receivers available near the top of the draft, including Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, Arizona State Jordyn Tyson and Indiana’s Omar Cooper.
A potential wild card would be Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, who could go very early in this year’s draft, especially if the Titans or Chiefs seek out an explosive playmaker.
