"A lot has changed since then. We had a handful of trades mix up the first round, as four teams now have multiple Day 1 picks: the Rams (from the Falcons), the Browns (from the Jaguars), the Cowboys (from the Packers) and the Jets (from the Colts). And some teams with rookie quarterbacks -- like the Browns, Giants and Saints -- might be satisfied enough to not select another quarterback in 2026. Team needs are already shifting."
"The Giants drafted their quarterback of the future in Jaxson Dart and a building block pass rusher in Abdul Carter this year, making this a scenario where they would likely field offers to move down if they do end up with the No. 1 pick. The Jets, meanwhile, can make an aggressive move up for a QB; Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and now Brady Cook haven't stabilized their quarterback situation."
Multiple trades altered the projected first round, leaving four teams with multiple Day 1 picks: the Rams, Browns, Cowboys and Jets. Teams with rookie quarterbacks such as the Browns, Giants and Saints could opt against selecting another quarterback in 2026. Significant roster and order changes remain possible before the April 23 draft because of bowl games, predraft events and free agency. The current order is based on the inverse of the standings through Week 14. A projected trade would send the Jets to No. 1. The Giants added Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter and might field offers to move down. The Jets have an unsettled quarterback situation and hold numerous premium draft assets.
