Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski and Matt Holder already provided a first glance at the 2026 crop of talent, while projecting potential landing spots 12 months in advance. Sobleski handled the AFC side of things, while Holder took the NFC. DraftKings ' reverse Super Bowl odds determined the draft order.

For example, the Miami Dolphins took wide receiver Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 overall pick in 2021. Waddle, who has averaged just over 1,000 receiving yards per season, has been quite good. However, players picked shortly after him, including Penei Sewell, Patrick Surtain II and Micah Parsons, have become perennial Pro Bowlers.

The Cleveland Browns like to keep things interesting.

Through the pre-draft process, analysts have projected Dart to be a borderline first-round pick. If Sanders slips into the back end of the first round, it leaves room for a quarterback-needy team to trade up for Milroe over the Colorado product.

Jaxson Dart is the No. 57 overall prospect in the draft class, per B/R's NFL Scouting Department. That ranking alone makes you want to hammer the over on his draft position prop. Dart is a Day 2 prospect whose stock will only rise if teams feel the desperation to reach for a quarterback.

After mining for draft nuggets and crafting one final forecast, B/R will finally be ready for the start of the 2025 NFL draft. In the old days, the Tennessee Titans would have made their selection known and likely had Miami quarterback Cam Ward signed before the start of the draft.

McShay had the Tennessee Titans taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter went next to the Cleveland Browns. Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter, LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty rounded out the top five.

The Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons swung one of the biggest, and most surprising, trades at last week's NFL draft, as the Rams traded the Nos. 26 and 101 selections to Atlanta for Nos. 46 and 242 and a 2026 first-rounder.

We're two days into the 2025 NFL Draft and five quarterbacks have been selected, but one of the biggest names in the class is still available; Shedeur Sanders. Like it or not, that's the biggest storyline of the weekend as many thought the Colorado product would hear his name called in round one, as high as the second or third overall pick.

Making an aggressive play for one of the top linemen in the 2025 class would make sense. Only two line prospects—LSU's Will Campbell and Missouri's Armand Membou —received first-round grades from the B/R Scouting Department. Landing one of them would be a win for Dallas.

In the Bleacher Report Scouting Department's three-round mock draft, for example, the Browns are projected to trade into the No. 24 slot (with the Minnesota Vikings) to grab Dart. It's not a stretch to think that teams may move a little higher to get in front of Pittsburgh, given the team's reported interest.

The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants have reportedly fielded multiple trade calls regarding the Nos. 2 and 3 overall picks in the 2025 NFL draft.

The New York Jets selected Miami LB Francisco Mauigoa with the No. 162 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Francisco Mauigoa projects as a late-round pick, but he has a chance to make a 53-man roster in Year 1. He's good enough in both phases of the game to earn a backup linebacker spot and has the linear speed to contribute on special teams.

Hunter is the No. 1 overall player on Bleacher Report's NFL Big Board, rated higher than projected top-10 picks like Miami's Cam Ward, Penn State's Abdul Carter and others.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, New York Giants at No. 3 and New England Patriots at No. 4 have fielded trade calls, and most of the teams they have spoken to want to move up for Hunter.
