NFL Draft Chaos: Raiders, Rams, Jets Make Big Moves

0:00It's April 24th. NFL News today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey with the story. Night 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft delivered chaos with trades flying left and right, surprise picks and teams stacking first round, selections. The Raiders locked in Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, first overall as their franchise cornerstone, while the Rams shocked everyone by grabbing. Alabama's Thai Simpson 13th overall, to groom behind Matthew Stafford. Earlier in the evening, the Jets passed on the hype around Ohio State's Arbo Reese and Snag Texas Tech's David Bailey second overall, letting. Reese slide to the Giants at 5th. Meanwhile, the Cardinals held firm at 3rd and took Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love, raising eyebrows since they already have backs like James. Conner and need help at quarterback and defense. Fans of Lyman dominated too, with 9 going in the first round alone, from Spencer Fano to the Brown's 9th overall to Caleb Lomu with the media, Patriots 28th.

1:04That run highlights the depth in this class, and guards and tackles should keep flying off the board early on day 2. Trades heated up late, like the Eagles jumping ahead for wide receiver McCoy Lemon, who could step in for AJ Brown and Philly. The Jets even made a 3rd first rounder after maneuvering back in, while the Broncos set out entirely after shipping their pick to Miami for Jalen. Waddle. With talent still stagged deep, expect more wheeling and dealing tomorrow as teams like Denver I-Linebackers, tight ends, or trade up to reshape their rosters.
