If you're the type of Cubs fan who refreshes MLB Pipeline rankings in February, this one's for you. With the Cubs currently slated to pick No. 23 in the 2026 MLB Draft, it's not too early to start doing some homework - especially when it comes to college prospects.

The Super Bowl is set, which also means picks 1-30 are locked in, with only the Seahawks' and Patriots' selection spots yet to be decided. In my latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft, Fernando Mendoza is locked in at number one, but how many QBs will go in Round 1? Plus, the Bears will look to add to their defensive line. Will they get that help at 25th overall?
