The initial three phases of the 2026 National Football League Draft have concluded. Predictably, the Las Vegas Raiders chose Indiana signal-caller Fernando Mendoza as the premier selection on Thursday. However, several unexpected choices emerged, notably Carnell Tate’s placement with the Tennessee Titans at the fourth spot. Tate represented one of four Ohio State players chosen within the top eleven, alongside defensive talents Arvell Reese (Giants, fifth selection), Sonny Styles (Commanders, seventh selection), and Caleb Downs (Cowboys, eleventh selection) who were also picked.
Friday evening saw the second and third stages progress in Pittsburgh. The events commenced with a poignant moment as Kayden McDonald’s extensive period in the holding area concluded when the Houston Texans made him the fourth choice of the second round. Across the league, the Falcons continued a family tradition by acquiring cornerback Avieon Terrell, brother to current team member A.J. Terrell. Furthermore, after the Steelers were unable to secure Makai Lemon in the opening round, they acquired Alabama wideout Germie Bernard, executing a trade with the Indianapolis Colts to ascend from the 53rd to the 47th overall pick. Subsequently, the Arizona Cardinals initiated the third round by selecting Miami quarterback Carson Beck.
The subsequent fourth through seventh phases are scheduled for Saturday at noon Eastern Time.
