"The expectation among many NFL teams is that the 2026 draft will be one of the more trade-heavy drafts in recent memory, according to multiple league sources."
"Several executives I've spoken with believe we're likely to see a flurry of activity in the first half of Round 1."
"Additionally, because this specific draft lacks depth in the later rounds, many teams plan to pursue extra Day 2 and early Day 3 picks, per league sources."
The 2026 NFL Draft is set for April 23, with the Chicago Bears holding the 25th pick and additional picks on Days 2 and 3. Expectations are high for a trade-heavy draft, particularly in the first half of Round 1. Teams are focusing on strong defensive positions like EDGE, CB, and LB, while WR remains a talented offensive position. Due to a lack of depth in later rounds, many teams are seeking extra Day 2 and early Day 3 picks to enhance their rosters.
