Show Notes
In the Associated Presss first mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft, Indianas Fernando Mendoza is the top pick, going to the Las Vegas Raiders. Mendoza, a Heisman winner, is seen as the Raiders franchise savior. Edge rushers and offensive tackles dominate the top picks, with teams focusing on trenches and pass rush. Only one other quarterback, Alabamas Ty Simpson, makes the first round, going to Pittsburgh. Skill players and tight ends fill needs in later rounds. Expect draft board changes as combines and pro days unfold.
