The 2026 NFL Draft is just over one month away, and the best this class has to offer has continued to separate themselves from the pack leading up to draft day. As a result, CBS Sports has overhauled its most recent three-round mock draft<\/a> amid free agency.<\/p>\n

Among the projections include the Miami Dolphins taking what they hope to be their next WR1 after trading Jaylen Waddle away to Denver for the No. 30 pick in next month\u2019s draft, as well as a third and fourth rounder. The third-round selection is 94th overall and the fourth round pick is 130th overall. <\/p>\n

Miami now has possession of the No. 11 and No. 30 picks in the first-round, joining the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys as teams with multiple first-round choices. With the recent trade in mind, below you can find CBS Sports\u2019 newest three-round mock draft.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Raiders drafting Fernando Mendoza seems about as sure of a thing as there is in this year\u2019s NFL Draft cycle. Mendoza enters the pros having led Indiana to an undefeated, national championship-winning season that saw him win the Heisman Trophy. <\/p>\n

One of the biggest things that stand out about Mendoza is his accuracy, which is evident after he finished the season with a 72.0% completion percentage. This resulted in him passing for 3,535 yards, 41 passing TD (48 overall) and six interceptions during the year. <\/p>\n

\"Ohio(Samantha Madar | Columbus Dispatch | USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images)<\/p>\n

Arvell Reese earned All-American status in 2025 after logging 69 combined tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks for Ohio State in 2025. He\u2019s expected to be the first of several Buckeyes to hear their names called in the top 10 of next month\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n

Since 2024, Reese has combined for 112 tackles for the Buckeyes. He was a key piece to the Buckeyes\u2019 national championship squad the year before.<\/p>\n

David Bailey has leap-frogged many in NFL mock drafts since the season ended. Once thought to be a fringe first-rounder, Bailey is now firmly in the conversation to be selected as high as No. 2 overall. <\/p>\n

On the field, he proved his worth by matching his career totals in sacks in one season at Texas Tech. He logged 14.5 sacks in three seasons at Stanford before transferring to the Red Raiders. There, he logged 14.5 sacks during the 2025 season alone while helping Texas Tech to a Big 12 title and CFP appearance.<\/p>\n

4. Tennessee Titans: Ohio State LB Sonny Styles<\/a><\/p>\n

Sonny Styles\u2019 athleticism in unquestionable after his performance at the combine last month. He recorded a 4.46 40-yard-dash time, 43.5-inch vertical jump as well as an 11-foot-2 broad jump.<\/p>\n

On the field, he\u2019s posted 83 stops (43 solo) with three pass breakups, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception. Styles recorded 100 tackles during Ohio State\u2019s championship season in 2024.<\/p>\n

\"NotreNotre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. (Michael Caterina-Imagn Images)<\/p>\n

A running back hasn\u2019t been drafted in the top five since the Giants selected Saquon Barkley in 2018. New York could repeat history with this selection eight years later. <\/p>\n

On the field Jeremiyah Love has proven his worth as RB1 in the 2026 NFL Draft. This past season at Notre Dame, he rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns across 199 attempts \u2014 whcih was good for 6.9 yards per carry. He added 27 catches for 280 receiving yards and three touchdowns through the air as well.<\/p>\n

Monroe Freeling has jumped up many draft boards in the coming weeks. Now, some believe he\u2019ll be the first offensive tackle selected out of five potential first-rounders at the position. <\/p>\n

In 2025, Freeling played 739 snaps at left tackle. During that stretch, he allowed one sack and was penalized twice. He ranked ninth among left tackles having allowed just five pressures.<\/p>\n

Rueben Bain finished first among EDGE rushers with 54 hurries and second with 67 pressures in 2025. He finishes the season with 9.5 total sacks. <\/p>\n

On his career, he logged 20.5 sack and is a threat to the quarterback any time they drop back to pass. A game-wrecking force, it\u2019s unlikely Bain will sit on the sidelines and wait his turn in the NFL. <\/p>\n

8. New Orleans Saints: Ohio State WR Carnell Tate<\/a><\/p>\n

\"CarnellOhio State wide receiver Carnell Tate was a bright spot. (Birm\/LR)<\/p>\n

Tate finished this past season for Ohio State having caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine receiving touchdowns. Whichever team drafts him will be drafting arguably the best deep-ball threat in this draft cycle with 17.2 yards per catch last season for the Buckeyes.<\/p>\n

On his career, he\u2019s caught 121 passes for 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns. He logged career-highs across the board in 2025.<\/p>\n

9. Kansas City Chiefs: Miami OT Francis Mauigoa<\/a><\/p>\n

Mauigoa finished the 2025 season with 826 offensive snaps. He allowed just two sacks and 10 pressures across 440 pass block snaps. Mauigoa played 814 snaps at right tackle in 16 games for the Miami Hurricanes en route to a national championship game appearance.<\/p>\n

Many projected Mauigoa to be the top tackle selected heading into the meat of draft prep. Now, he appears to be taking a back seat to Georgia\u2019s Freeling in recent mocks. <\/p>\n

10. Cincinnati Bengals: Ohio State S Caleb Downs<\/a><\/p>\n

Caleb Downs spent one season at Alabama and two more at Ohio State. He left college football as a 2024 national champion as the sport\u2019s top-rated safety. Learning under both Nick Saban and Ryan Day during his college career, many expect his abilities to translate to the league. <\/p>\n

On the field, Downs finished the 2025 season with 68 combined tackles, a PBU, one sack and a pair of interceptions. He\u2019ll likely be the first safety \u2014 as well as the top overall defensive back.<\/p>\n
