The initial three segments of the 2026 National Football League Selection Event have concluded. Anticipatedly, the Las Vegas Raiders secured Fernando Mendoza, a quarterback from Indiana, as the premier selection on Thursday. Nevertheless, a few unexpected choices materialized, notably Carnell Tate heading to the Tennessee Titans at the fourth position. Tate was among four players from Ohio State chosen within the top eleven selections, alongside the defensive group of Arvell Reese (chosen by the Giants at position five), Sonny Styles (selected by the Commanders at position seven), and Caleb Downs (acquired by the Cowboys at position eleven).
Friday evening witnessed the continuation of the second and third phases of the draft in Pittsburgh. Proceedings commenced with a poignant moment as Kayden McDonald’s extensive period of anticipation in the holding area concluded upon his recruitment by the Houston Texans, as the fourth choice of the second phase. In other league developments, the Falcons maintained a family connection by selecting cornerback Avieon Terrell, whose elder sibling A.J. is already a roster member. Following the Steelers’ inability to acquire Makai Lemon in the opening phase, they proceeded to choose Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard, executing a trade with the Indianapolis Colts to advance from the 53rd selection to the 47th spot. Subsequently, to initiate the third phase, the Arizona Cardinals brought in Carson Beck, a signal-caller from Miami.
The concluding stages, comprising selections from round four through seven, are scheduled for Saturday, commencing at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
