With the regular season of the 2025 college football season winding down and the 2025 NFL season nearly two-thirds completed, I figure this is a good time to take a look at the 2026 NFL draft and make new projections for the first 32 picks.
To clarify, there is plenty of time between now and the start of the draft April 23 in Pittsburgh. Beyond the homestretch of the season, some players could decide to head back to school, while others could surprisingly declare early. We also have predraft events such as all-star games and the combine that tend to alter draft boards.
