Update 4/24: We’re back for day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. The first-round on Thursday provided a few curveballs, and left plenty of talent on the board as the draft shifts to the second and third rounds.
There was no shortage of storylines from the draft’s first night. Sean McVay didn’t look too happy after the Rams’ shocking selection of QB Ty Simpson. The Dallas Cowboys might have landed the best all-around player in the class with the No. 12 pick, then screwed over the Pittsburgh Steelers by helping out a division rival. The New York Giants crushed both of their top-10 picks, while Arizona Cardinals reached for a running back at No. 3 overall. Check out our second-round mock draft here.
The San Francisco 49ers will open the second-round, although after two trades on Thursday to move out of the first round, anything is possible at pick No. 33. We’ll be providing live updates in our tracker down below the rest of Friday evening!
The time for NFL mock drafts has finally come to an end. Now the picks are for real.
The 2026 NFL Draft begins now, and soon enough the talking will end and the picks will start coming in. You can find out what time your team will pick here. We have every expectation that quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be the first player selected, and there is a lot to like about his game. Mendoza sat down with SB Nation earlier this week to talk about his journey to this moment, and what he will bring to an NFL roster.
After that, however, is anyone’s guess.
Will the New York Jets draft David Bailey at No. 2? When will Caleb Downs come off the board? Is Ty Simpson truly QB2 or will LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier make a surprising rise up the board following the discovery of a cyst on his spine, that likely contributed to his struggles last season? And what about some sleepers in the draft?
We’ll be tracking the picks live as they are turned in. For grades, we will have you covered here. Until the draft begins, you can check out our Top 100 players, or join the discussion at our new NFL Feed.
