The NFL regular season is in the books and with it, the first 18 picks in the 2026 NFL draft are locked in. These are the non-playoff teams, and so this time around, we decided to do our one-round mock draft update just for these 18 picks.
This time around, we flipped these picks on their heads with a swap at quarterback at the top, a running back in the top three picks, and no offensive lineman until the 13th pick overall.
1 – Las Vegas Raiders – QB Dante Moore – Oregon
2 – New York Jets – QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana
3 – Arizona Cardinals – RB Jeremiyah Love – Notre Dame
