Not just at the collegiate level, as the incoming draft class works their way through the College Football Playoff led perhaps by Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Ohio State linebackers Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese, but at the NFL level as well. Games between teams that are in line for the No. 1 pick could drastically change the NFL draft order for next spring.
One such game played out on Sunday, as the Tennessee Titans knocked off the Cleveland Browns. That win moved the Titans to 2-11 on the season, and you now need to adjust your mock drafts accordingly.
As a result, if the 2026 NFL Draft were to take place today, the New York Giants would be on the clock.
Here is a look at the current first round of the 2026 NFL Draft following Sunday’s games:
