NFL Draft 2026: Top Picks & Surprises

0:00It's April 22nd. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. Tomorrow's the big day for the 2026 NFL Draft, and the buzz is electric. The Las Vegas Raiders are set to grab Fernando Mendoza at number one overall. No real surprise there. That leaves the New York Jets holding the number two pick, and everyone's watching to see if they go edge-rusher with David Bailey from Texas Tech or... Arvel Reese. Earlier this week, the Jets canceled a visit with Bailey, sparking some talk, but their general manager says they already got all the info they need. From the Combine and Pro Day, betting odds now favor Bailey as the pick, sitting at minus 145, while Reese trails at plus 110. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys, who everyone figured might trade up into the top 10 with their two first rounders, could actually slide down from. Number 20 instead. Jerry Jones doesn't want to part with both number 12 and number 20 for one guy, so they might target defensive help early and move back later.

1:05Other hot rumors have the New York Giants' eyeing wide receiver, Jordan Tyson, at number five, despite his injury history after they traded for an extra. Top 10 pick. The Los Angeles Rams, like Titan, Kenyan, Sadiq, and number 13, to boost Matthew Stafford, and the Seattle Seahawks want to trade out of number. Already two altogether for more day to ammo. As teams shuffle boards and prospects, like offensive linemen Frances Mauigua, deal with back concerns that might need surgery, the draft nights trades. And shocks are just hours away. Get ready for the chaos to unfold.
