The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23 to 25. The 2026 NFL Combine runs from Feb. 22 to 27. The 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup is already happening, where experts and analysts pair potential college football players with teams. For example, NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Dave Zangaro picked offensive tackle Caleb Lomu from the Utah Utes for the Philadelphia Eagles. He notes the Eagles have not picked a first-round offensive lineman since Andre Dillard in 2019.
Potential college football players picked by experts for Giants, Eagles, Steelers, and Bears
PFF’s Dalton Wasserman picked offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa from the Miami Hurricanes for the Giants. The predictor says New York needs young talent on the offensive line this offseason, with right guard Greg Van Roten and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor hitting free agency. USA Today’s Jack McKessy picked tight end Kenyon Sadiq of the Oregon Ducks for the Eagles. The expert notes that Philadelphia usually reserves its top picks for the trenches, wide receiver, or secondary. With Sadiq, they make an exception for the top pass-catcher on the board.PFSN’s Cameron Sheath selected wide receiver Makai Lemon of the USC Trojans for the Steelers at Pick No. 15. The predictor notes that if Mike McCarthy makes the calls for Pittsburgh, Lemon could make sense as an NFL-ready playmaker with a solid floor and elite ceiling. He complements veteran wideout DK Metcalf’s powerful and direct style. NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund projects safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren of the Toledo Rockets for the Bears at Pick No. 25. He checks all parameters: size, burst, and athleticism. With safeties Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker, and Chauncey “C. J.” Gardner-Johnson hitting free agency in March, McNeil-Warren could be perfect for Chicago.
