"We're in a bit of a holding pattern in the NFL Draft process as the order has been set, and now we await the NFL Combine, which kicks off in just a couple of weeks. With that in mind, there aren't a whole lot of changes in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft from last week's early in the first round. Having said that, the back of the first round could see quite a bit of jostling for position over the coming months."
"5. New York Giants: WR Carnell Tate - Ohio State Tate was a big play machine for Ohio State last season, averaging over 17 yards per reception and finding the endzone nine times. The Giants have some nice weapons already for Jaxson Dart in Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. Adding Tate would give them an outstanding over-the-top threat to really stretch the field."
With draft order set and the NFL Combine approaching in weeks, overall mock positions remain relatively stable, though late first-round spots could change. The Raiders are expected to prioritize quarterback and target Indiana's Fernando Mendoza with the top pick. Early selections emphasize defensive front-seven talent and dynamic playmakers, including linebackers and edge rushers like Arvell Reese and Rueben Bain Jr. Several teams balance immediate needs and best-player-available strategies, with the Titans addressing pass rush and the Giants adding an explosive deep threat in Carnell Tate to complement existing receivers.
