On3 • • general
Key Points:
- FOX’s Joel Klatt created a unique 2026 NFL Draft mock by including all college football players, even those who will remain in school in 2026, resulting in only six current-cycle players in his top 10 picks.
- The Las Vegas Raiders are projected to select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza first overall, seen as a franchise quarterback after an undefeated season and national championship.
- Several top prospects, including Oregon QB Dante Moore and Texas QB Arch Manning, are expected to stay in college for the 2026 season rather than enter the draft early.
- Ohio State wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, along with LSU OT Jordan Seaton and Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey, are among the highly regarded non-quarterbacks in Klatt’s top 10.
- The mock draft highlights a strong presence of Ohio State players and emphasizes versatility, especially on defense, with EDGE Arvell Reese projected at No. 9 by the Kansas City Chiefs.
