2026 NFL Mock Draft: Caleb Downs Not a Top 15 Pick? Chiefs, Cowboys Double Up on D
As we rapidly approach the 2026 NFL Draft, are the top five picks starting to feel chalky? I certainly think so.
In my latest mock draft, my first five picks remain unchanged from my first mock draft. Sure, some might say that's a boring way to approach doing a mock draft. And while I've shifted my position on where a few players will land, some things just make perfect sense. Of course, the Las Vegas Raiders are going to take Fernando Mendoza.

Super Bowl Odds: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
Arizona will select the best defensive player in the draft and can figure out where to use him once he’s in the building. Reese can play off the ball or rush the passer. I do believe he will follow the path
