Overview
- The full first-round order is set after Super Bowl LX, with Las Vegas picking first and New York at No. 5, though trades could still alter positions.
- Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is widely regarded as the consensus top prospect and a likely Raiders target at No. 1.
- Analysts describe a class light at the very top but deep at wide receiver, edge rusher, tight end and cornerback.
- The Giants enter the draft under new head coach John Harbaugh, and early team-specific mocks have floated Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at No. 5 as a speculative option.
- The draft is scheduled for April 23–25 on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, the combine runs Feb. 23–Mar. 2, and free agency opens March 11 when trades become official.
