With the 2026 NFL Draft just a day away, analysts are getting their final mock drafts in to try and predict what happens on Thursday night.

While there is a consensus among analysts about who will go first overall to the Las Vegas Raiders, with quarterback Fernando Mendoza widely expected to be the pick, beyond that, analysts haven't been able to agree on much. That means this year's first round could be one of the more unpredictable drafts in recent years.

The 2026 prospect class is full of players from Ohio State, Miami, Texas A&M and Indiana, as teams look to add players from the best programs of the past year. However, this is considered one of the weaker prospect classes at the top, so teams could have much different evaluations of the top players.

Therefore, mock drafts have been all over the place, with analysts trying to nail down the order. Here's a look at some of the most recent mock drafts ahead of Thursday night.
