The first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a> are in the books, and as expected, the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> took Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza<\/a> with the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday. But there were some surprises, including Carnell Tate going to the Tennessee Titans<\/a> at No. 4. Tate was one of four Buckeyes to go in the top 11 picks, with the defensive trio<\/a> of Arvell Reese (Giants at No. 5), Sonny Styles<\/a> (Commanders<\/a> at No. 7) and Caleb Downs<\/a> (Cowboys at No. 11) also getting drafted.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, Rounds 2 and 3 kept rolling in Pittsburgh<\/a>. Things got off to an emotional start as Kayden McDonald\u2019s long wait in the green room ended<\/a> when he was selected by the Houston Texans<\/a> with the fourth pick in the second round. Elsewhere around the league, the Falcons<\/a> kept it in the family by drafting cornerback Avieon Terrell<\/a>, whose older brother A.J. is on the team. And after the Steelers<\/a> missed out on Makai Lemon<\/a> during the first round, they drafted Alabama receiver Germie Bernard<\/a>, trading with the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> to move up from the No. 53 pick to the No. 47 selection.<\/p>\n
