The 2026 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable drafts in recent memory. With quarterback prospects Fernando Mendoza from Indiana and Oregon’s Dante Moore projected to headline the first round, teams near the top will face tough decisions about whether to chase a franchise cornerstone or fill immediate roster gaps. Beyond the quarterbacks, Ohio State has some prospects like dynamic playmaker wide receiver Carnell Tate, and defensive standouts Arvell Reese and Caleb Downs, who are drawing plenty of attention from scouts, giving teams versatile options early on.
