The 2026 NFL Draft is just days away, where teams are finalizing their draft boards before things kick off in Pittsburgh on April 23.

There are a number of storylines to monitor heading into the first round, including multiple teams with two first-round picks, including the New York Jets (2, 16), New York Giants (5, 10), Cleveland Browns (6, 24), Kansas City Chiefs (9, 29), Miami Dolphins (11, 30) and Dallas Cowboys (12, 20). There's been plenty of discussion about an early run on offensive tackles and a defensive-heavy first round, which could make for some interesting moves come draft night.

With that in mind, we're unveiling our final NFL Wires mock draft of the 2026 offseason. Our editors made player selections for all 32 picks in the first round. Here are the results.

All signs point to Fernando Mendoza being the pick. GM John Spytek has said teams have called to inquire about trading up and his response suggests there’s no chance they are trading out. Add that new QB Kirk Cousins watched tape with Mendoza on his visit and spoke of him as if it’s already a foregone conclusion they will be teammates, and what you have is pretty strong confirmation of what we have all expected since the Raiders locked up the top pick at the end of the season – that they are ready to turn in their card and make the reigning Heisman Trophy and National Champion the team’s next franchise QB. – Levi Damien, Raiders Wire

The Jets’ long awaited choice here is between Bailey and Ohio State’s Arvell Reese. Considered the more pro ready prospect, they go with Bailey. Pre-draft reports indicate the Jets are leaning more toward Bailey as well… we’re going to find out whether or not that’s a smokescreen one way or another. If it is Bailey, his stats do all the talking. He had 19.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks in 2025. – Nick Wojton, Jets Wire

The Cardinals would really prefer to do what they did in 2023 and trade back to get a tackle. However, with no trades materializing, they get the high upside Reese. He matches the profile the Cardinals target — athletic, premium position and from a big program. He would be the third Ohio State player they have selected in the first round in four years. They have a big need off the edge, as their group of outside linebackers outside of Josh Sweat combined for 5.5 in 2025. With Micah Parsons and Abdul Carter comps, he has the potential to be a perennial All-Pro. – Jess Root, Cards Wire

The Titans could very easily opt for a defender at No. 4 overall or even trade down. But with Love still on the board and an opportunity to grab a true game-changing player, Tennessee leaps and immediately improves one of their skill positions. Not only will Love boost their backfield production, but his receiving ability will generate mismatches and provide second-year quarterback Cam Ward a security blanket underneath. – Dan Benton/Bryan Manning Titans Wire

The Giants appeared to be targeting linebacker Sonny Styles for the longest time, but cold water has been poured over that notion in recent days. A trade down is a very legitimate option, but in this mock, general manager Joe Schoen stays put and snags safety Caleb Downs, who is a near-perfect match for John Harbaugh’s defense. He’s a Day 1 starter whom Harbaugh believes has “gold jacket” potential.

Browns receive: Nos. 12, 20, 2027 second-round pick

Once the Giants went defense, with the player most likely to reach them, the Cowboys gamed it out that a top defender wasn’t going to fall to 12, especially since they are out on Rueben Bain and possibly Jermod McCoy. If they didn’t land a Day 1 starter at LB, they were likely to trade either this year’s 3 or next year’s for one year of Jordyn Brooks with no franchise tag option. Now they get four years, at least, of Styles – the top LB by far. Still having a second first-round pick to get their secondary addition and the Cowboys are the Nowboys. – KD Drummond, Cowboys Wire

With Sonny Styles and Jeremiyah Love off the board, GM Adam Peters listens to trade offers here, but nothing materializes. Instead, he lands the draft’s top wideout to pair with QB Jayden Daniels and WR Terry McLaurin. Tate is unfairly criticized for being Ohio State’s No. 2 receiver, but he became a star in his own right. He has everything NFL teams covet in a wide receiver and gives the Commanders a legit outside option opposite McLaurin. Washington is thrilled to land Tate. – Bryan Manning, Commanders Wire

Few teams have done as much work on wide receivers as the Saints, but with Tate off the board there isn’t someone I’m comfortable taking at this pick as Bain. Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) has major injury concerns and Makai Lemon (USC) isn’t as well-rounded an athlete as you’d like. With so little separating those guys from second-round prospects like Chris Bell (Louisville) and Germie Bernard (Alabama), I’m willing to wait. So our other priority is addressing the defensive line. Bain would compete with Carl Granderson to start right away, but whoever wins that battle is still getting almost 30 snaps a week in the rotation. That’s plenty of time to make an impact. Bain doesn’t have the measurables teams look for but don’t overthink it. He’s a heavy-handed and productive pass rusher who can liven things up for Brandon Staley’s defensive front, with or without Cameron Jordan. – John Sigler, Saints Wire

I’m fifty-fifty on any wide receiver not named Carnell Tate with this first pick, but Tyson could certainly serve an important role for Kansas City as a rookie. Whether he’d be able to develop into a Batman capable of making Rashee Rice his Robin remains to be seen, and if the Chiefs pick him here at No. 9, that’s exactly what they’ll need him to do. If the board falls the way it did in this scenario, I would rather Kansas City trade down in a bid to pick up additional draft capital that can help get the Chiefs dynasty back on track. – John Dillon, Chiefs Wire

Had Jordyn Tyson still been available, he would have been the pick here. However, with Tyson off the board, the Giants turn their attention to Francis Mauigoa. Although there is some concern with his back, Big Blue takes the plunge and lands a player who will shift inside to right guard – arguably the better position for him at the pro level. His size and skill will help shore up a notable weakness, while the added positional versatility provides a bonus. – Dan Benton, Giants Wire

This offseason alone, the Dolphins have lost Jack Jones, Kader Kohou, Rasul Douglas, Kendall Sheffield, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Artie Burns at cornerback. While they’ve brought in a few veterans on short-term deals to take their spots, none of them should be a team’s top cornerback. The 22-year-old All-American could be just that after recording 27 passes defensed and eight interceptions in 44 games between Virginia Tech and LSU. – Mike Masala, Dolphins Wire

The Cleveland Browns successfully trade down here with the Dallas Cowboys and stack more assets to rebuild a young team. With this selection, 12th overall, they select Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling to complete their offensive line rebuild. Young, long, and an elite athlete, the Browns shoot for the moon on Freeling, whose best football is still ahead of him. – Cory Kinnan, Browns Wire

Sadiq is a tight end in a wide receiver’s body, which makes him a fantastic fit in Sean McVay’s offense. He would reunite with former Oregon teammate Terrance Ferguson, giving the Rams two dynamic pass-catching tight ends to pair with their receiver tandem of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. McVay would find creative ways to get Sadiq involved, whether it’s attached the formation, in the slot or split out wide. Like Ferguson, he can play just about anywhere. With how dedicated McVay is to 12 and 13 personnel, Sadiq fits that trend perfectly in Los Angeles.– Cameron DaSilva, Rams Wire

Kenyon Sadiq's absence makes this a slam-dunk pick for a Ravens offense looking to add more physicality up front, while landing a player who could be a ten-year starter at offensive guard and a perennial Pro Bowler. Even with John Simpson returning on a three-year, $30 million deal after two years spent with the Jets, upgrading the offensive guard position is imperative for a team looking to take pressure off quarterback Lamar Jackson. While Baltimore has said all the right things about Emery Jones, Ioane would be a Day 1 starter at a critical position. Ioane plays with intense power and quickness, using 330 pounds of elite force, playing in 44 games and making 32 starts at Penn State. According to PFF, he allowed zero sacks and three pressures in 310 pass blocking snaps in 2025. – Glenn Erby, Ravens Wire

There is a lot of talk about Jermod McCoy being out of the first round talk given the lingering issues from his torn ACL. Jason Licht can play the long game due to his seat being cold as ice, while also having a track record that shows he is not afraid to draft players who have an injury history. Mix all that with the team's need at the position, and McCoy may be their guy. – Andrew Harbaugh, Bucs Wire

A wide receiver seems pretty locked in here for the Jets. Their defense needs a lot of fine tuning, but this pick position is the perfect area to find a running mate for No. 1 wideout Garrett Wilson while also getting another potential top WR that can get his feet wet in the NFL in 2026 before the Jets potentially land a franchise QB in next year’s draft. A 5-foot-11 playmaker, Lemon had 79 catches, 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games played in 2025. – Nick Wojton, Jets Wire
