The first night of the 2026 NFL Draft, as predicted, brought chaos. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza went No. 1 overall to the Raiders, as has been a certainty for months, and David Bailey went second to the Jets, nothing too out of the ordinary. But then Jeremiyah Love became one of the highest-selected running backs of the century, going No. 3 to the Cardinals. Right after that, the Titans shocked the draft community by selecting wide receiver Carnell Tate, setting the stage for a wild ride.
By the time the dust had settled, we had seen plenty more surprises -- including the Rams taking quarterback Ty Simpson 13th overall -- and 32 names off the board.
There's still lots of talent out there with Rounds 2 and 3 taking place Friday night. Last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year, Carson Schwesinger, was a second-round pick, as was runner-up Nick Emmanwori. Same for Offensive Rookie of the Year runner-up Tyler Shough
