Oregon Ducks: Two Stars Drafted, Pregnon Awaits

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. Oregon Ducks made waves in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft with two former stars heading to new teams. Kenyans to Deek got picked 16th overall by the New York Jets, a spot that raised some eyebrows while safety, Dylan Theiman dropped a bit and landed with the Chicago Bears at number 25. This keeps Oregon's streak of first round picks alive for seven straight years and marks their second year in a row with multiple guys going in the opening round. Meanwhile, Guard Immanuel Pregnant didn't hear his name called in those first 32 picks, even though some mocks had him late in the round. He's sitting tight as day two kicks off, but ESPN's Matt Miller hasn't projected to the Philadelphia Eagles at pick 54 in the second round. Fans and scouts are buzzing about Pregnant's slide, but his tape speaks volumes. He's a first team All-American who dominated as a run blocker for the Ducks.

1:00He started at Wyoming, transferred to USC for two big ten seasons, then brought that fire to Eugene and turned heads. Miller points out Philly could use him long term, especially with Landon Dickerson may be retiring. Pregnant's power would open lanes for Sequan Barkley and protect Jalen Hertz, fitting right into their contender push for the NFC East and another. Super Bowl run. Only a couple of guards went in round one, so he's lined up as the fourth off the board. Other Ducks like Tackles Isaiah World and Alex Harky might pop up later, along with Nickel-Jade on Kennedy or Linebacker Bryce Boetcher. Keep an eye on round two tonight. Oregon's draft story is far from over.
