It's April 23rd. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night with Round 1, and all eyes are on the Arizona Cardinals holding the third overall pick. That's where things could shift big time. Up first, the Las Vegas Raiders grabbed quarterback Fernando Mendoza at number 1. Then the New York Jets snagged a pass rusher like David Bailey or Avel. Greece at 2. Cardinals fans are buzzing about whether the team skips another top-edge rusher. They desperately need help there, with just 5.5 sacks from four guys opposite Josh Sweat last year. Back in 2023, they passed on Will Anderson for tackle Paris Johnson, and now Anderson's killing it league-wide. Trade talks are heating up too. General manager Monty Austin for it loves wheeling and dealing, and the Cardinals might slide back from 3 to grab a tackle plus extra picks. Things like the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints are circling, though the Dallas

Cowboys say top 5 is out of reach for them. Then there's the wild card, drafting Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love at 3. Their back feels stacked with James Conner, Tyler Algear, Trey Benson, and Bam Knight, so it would be a head scratcher, even if Love's the Draft's best, athlete. Or they could package picks to jump back into Round 1 for quarterback Ty Simpson, a guy they love as a franchise guy. With their second round spot early, it will be a bold move if they go for it. Half-knights about to drop some real drama.
