The NFL Combine is behind us, and we most certainly have some risers and fallers after the workouts in Indy. Jeremiyah Love is one of those risers, making a major move in this latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
Let’s dive into another mock with the Combine in the books, and free agency fast approaching.
2026 NFL Mock Draft
1. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana
As of now, Fernando Mendoza seems to be the runaway leader in the clubhouse to be the Raiders’ quarterback next season.
2. New York Jets: LB Arvell Reese – Ohio State
After Dante Moore decided to go back to Oregon, the Jets will have to pivot with their selection. I don’t foresee a quarterback being worth it here, especially with next year’s loaded QB class, so I think they should just take the top player on their board.
3. Arizona Cardinals: OT Francis Mauigoa – Miami
The Cardinals also probably need to go with the best player available, though they do have a few different needs to fill. I’ve had them taking Rueben Bain Jr. in the past few mocks, but it’s starting to feel like OL might be the more likely scenario here.
4. Tennessee Titans: RB Jeremiyah Love – Notre Dame
Fine, I’ll take the bait. Does it seem more likely that Robert Saleh would like to take a top defender on the board? Sure. But Saleh also knows first-hand the value of having a do-it-all running back on his side from his days in San Francisco with Christian McCaffrey. Reports from the Combine were that the Titans think Love could be the best player in the draft. I think the running back is trending toward going in this spot, especially after Tennessee added Jermaine Johnson in a trade with the Jets.
5. New York Giants: LB Sonny Styles – Ohio State
I’m not sure there was a bigger winner this weekend at the NFL Combine than Sonny Styles of Ohio State. I think he’s vaulted himself firmly into the top ten and maybe even the top five. The Giants are expected to release Bobby Okereke to save against the cap, and that would clear the way to take Styles here.
6. Cleveland Browns: WR Carnell Tate – Ohio State
It’s hard to tell where Cleveland will go. The Browns just added Tytus Howard in a trade with Houston, so tackle might not be as urgent a need. With that in mind, taking a top wide receiver makes a whole lot of sense here.
7. Washington Commanders: EDGE David Bailey – Texas Tech
I think Caleb Downs is the best player in the draft still at this point, but if an EDGE with as high a ceiling as David Bailey is sitting there, I think Washington has to take him. However, if their choice is between Bailey or Downs, I don’t think there is a wrong choice.
8. New Orleans Saints: EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. – Miami
The Saints seem to have their young quarterback; now, they can stand to add some help getting to the opposing quarterback. Bain’s arm size was a concern at the Combine, but there is no denying the results he produced on the field. He’s still arguably the top EDGE in this draft and would be a nice pick here.

The Chiefs need to add to the offensive line, especially now that they plan on releasing offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to save cap space. Fano makes a whole lot of sense in this spot if he’s still on the board.
10. Cincinnati Bengals: S Caleb Downs – Ohio State
The Bengals need help in a lot of places. While they have holes on both lines, they have holes in the secondary, too, and arguably the most talented player in the draft falling to them at 10 in Caleb Downs would be a gift they’d be thrilled to take.
11. Miami Dolphins: CB Mansoor Delane – LSU
Miami has a few needs defensively, and they select the top cornerback on most draft boards to slot into Jeff Hafley’s defense.
12. Dallas Cowboys: CB Jermod McCoy – Tennessee
Dallas needs help getting to the quarterback, but it could also use a boost in their secondary. McCoy provides them a high-upside candidate there.
13: Los Angeles Rams (via ATL): OT Monroe Freeling – Georgia
The Rams don’t have a ton of needs, but adding a tackle is one of them, and Monroe Freeling’s performance in Indy could very well vault him all the way up into the top half of the first round. It’s not hard to envision the Rams grabbing him at this point in the draft process.
14. Baltimore Ravens: WR Jordyn Tyson – Arizona State
The Ravens don’t really have a true No. 1 receiver, and Jordyn Tyson could be that for this team. Adding him to that offense would be really helpful for Lamar Jackson and give the new regime in Baltimore a fresh look on that side of the ball.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: EDGE Akheem Mesidor – Miami
The Bucs have to address their struggles getting to the quarterback. It’s not the only thing that cost them their playoff spot this year, but it was really an issue. Akheem Mesidor made a name for himself in the College Football Playoff and has established himself as a first-round talent. Tampa could address this need in free agency, also, so that will be something to keep an eye on.
16. New York Jets (via IND): WR Makai Lemon – USC
Wide receiver might not be their biggest need, but adding Makai Lemon to their group of pass catchers adds a versatile weapon for their young QB. Lemon was outstanding for USC last season and does just about everything well.
17. Detroit Lions: EDGE Keldric Faulk – Auburn
Aidan Hutchinson is great, but the Lions have struggled to find a consistent option opposite him. They could very well take a shot at that here with this pick. I wouldn’t be surprised with a corner going here either, but I think they might rely on getting healthier in that position and drafting an EDGE. This is another decision that could also depend on how free agency goes.
18. Minnesota Vikings: DT Caleb Banks – Florida
Reports are that the Vikings could release Javon Hargrave in the coming days to save against the cap, and with a loaded defensive tackle class, I could absolutely see them filling that need here. Banks has a massive frame and has a ton of potential. He seems to be gaining steam.

The Panthers found a really good wideout in last year’s first round in Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan. This year, I think they could stand to bring in another young, talented receiver whose skillset would complement McMillan’s very well and give quarterback Bryce Young another good option to throw to.
20. Dallas Cowboys (via GB): EDGE T.J. Parker – Clemson
The Cowboys, as mentioned earlier, need help getting after the quarterback. T.J Parker could potentially give this defense some help there.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers: WR KC Concepcion – Texas A&M
There seems to be a lot of different directions Pittsburgh could go here. Some of that may depend on whether or not Mike McCarthy can convince Aaron Rodgers to play another year. If the Steelers don’t go with a quarterback, adding a complementary receiver to DK Metcalf makes a lot of sense. Concepcion would add another explosive element to that offense.
22. Los Angeles Chargers: IOL Olaivavega Ioane – Penn State
The Chargers’ offensive line struggled to protect quarterback Justin Herbert. They’ve had injuries, so fortifying the interior seems like a very Jim Harbaugh selection.
23. Philadelphia Eagles: OT Max Iheanachor – Arizona State
Iheanachor’s stock rose rapidly at the Senior Bowl, and I think it’ll continue to do so through the Combine and the offseason. He’s new to football and didn’t play in high school, but his upside and frame are very intriguing to NFL teams, and an OL factory like Philly would be a really nice landing spot for him.
24. Cleveland Browns (via JAX): EDGE Cashius Howell – Texas A&M
The Browns have Myles Garrett, but he’s not getting any younger, and adding a young, high-upside player like Howell to play on the other side could be a nice addition for Cleveland. They could still go with an OL despite already trading for one this offseason, but I don’t think that’s as urgent a need anymore.
25. Chicago Bears: DT Kayden McDonald – Ohio State
McDonald had a nice Combine weekend, and he seems like a perfect fit for the Bears’ run-stuffing need in the interior of their defensive line.

This pick still feels fairly up in the air. The Bills need help across the board defensively, but they also hired an offensive-minded head coach. Peter Woods, despite a somewhat disappointing 2025 campaign at Clemson, has a very high ceiling and could be a steal for Buffalo here.
27. San Francisco 49ers: WR Omar Cooper Jr. – Indiana
Cooper Jr. is gaining some momentum as the draft process moves along, and Kyle Shanahan’s offense desperately needs some playmakers. I wouldn’t be stunned at all to see them go with Cooper Jr. or another wideout they like here, despite a need in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
28. Houston Texans: OT Kaydn Proctor – Alabama
The Texans have even more of a need on the OL now that they’ve dealt Tytus Howard to the Browns. We’ll see how they address it in free agency, but Proctor would be very much in play if he’s on the board here, I would think.
29. Los Angeles Rams: CB Brandon Cisse – South Carolina
The Rams addressed their OL need with Monroe Freeling; now, they add a corner to help out in their secondary.
30. Denver Broncos: TE Kenyon Sadiq – Oregon
Sean Payton’s offenses are usually at their best when they feature a great tight end. Sadiq would be a really nice fit to go with Bo Nix for a team that doesn’t have a ton of big holes left to fill. However, after a great Scouting Combine performance, I wouldn’t be stunned to see him make his way up the draft board soon.
31. New England Patriots: OT Caleb Lomu – Utah
As we saw in the Super Bowl, the Patriots really struggled to protect Drake Maye and handle a very good pass rush. That’s going to be a huge area of need for them this offseason.
32. Seattle Seahawks: LB CJ Allen – Georgia
The Seahawks don’t have many urgent needs to fill, so they can afford to go the “best player available” route here. CJ Allen is a very solid defender who could slide into an already dangerous defense right away and make it even better.
