Picks 1 through 18 are set in the NFL Draft … for now.
Something tells me this is going to be an eventful draft season of trades for a number of reasons. That’s because it’s not a particularly strong crop of first-round talent. That means we’ll see teams willing to move first-rounders for proven players.
I’d argue the last time we saw a first round this weak was 2022, and that year set the record with 18 trades involving first-round picks.
That said, I’ll play it straight with no trades, at least until we get past the Jan. 23 deadline for players to officially declare for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Note: This is the current NFL Draft order entering Monday night’s playoff game between the Texans and Steelers (via Tankathon).
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly mock drafts and a regularly available look at the eligible prospects.
