Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and it was all about protecting the quarterback. While none were taken in the first eight picks, nine offensive linemen heard their names called among the first 32 selections, starting with Utah's Spencer Fano going to the Browns at No. 9 and ending with his college teammate Caleb Lomu landing with the Patriots at No. 28. All in all, seven tackles and two interior linemen went on night one.
Elsewhere, the Raiders officially made Fernando Mendoza the No. 1 pick, the Cardinals made Jeremiyah Love the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley, and the Titans surprised by taking Carnell Tate at No. 4. There were also trades, with the Chiefs moving up to No. 6 for Mansoor Delane and the Eagles dealing with the Cowboys to select Makai Lemon.
We'll be tracking every selection as it happens, with a full team-by-team breakdown of all 257 picks throughout the draft.
