With wild-card weekend in the history books, six more teams are officially on the clock.<\/p>\n

A total of 24 teams are fully in offseason mode now as the final eight battle for a chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 60. There is plenty of doubt about who will ultimately be crowned champion at season’s end, but there is no doubt about the teams that captured the biggest prizes for the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The order is mostly set with the regular season in the rearview, but it will continue to evolve as more teams get eliminated from the playoff bracket.<\/p>\n

For now, fans of the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and New York Jets can continue photoshopping their team’s jersey onto some of the best prospects like Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza<\/a>. The Hoosiers are set to battle Miami in the CFP National Championship Game, but a major wrench was just thrown into the draft plans by the player that was just eliminated by Mendoza’s group \u2013 Dante Moore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Oregon quarterback announced on Jan. 14 that he will be returning to the Ducks for the 2026 season, opting to pass on declaring for the draft. That will have massive ramifications going forward, especially for the Jets at No. 2, who would’ve likely taken a quarterback with that selection.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, mock drafts will remain the theme as fans turn their attention to the next generation of NFL stars.<\/p>\n
