There is no clear-cut overall number 1 NFL draft pick on most pro scouts' boards this year. The closest thing to a consensus is Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, who will almost certainly be the first QB taken, assuming he comes out as expected.
On defense, Miami's monster defensive lineman Ruben Bain Jr. and versatile linebacker Arvell Reese from Ohio State are at or near the top of a lot of big boards.
The Dalals Cowboys are projected to have the No. 13 and No. 21picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and what they need to do with that strong draft capital is very clear.
