The rumor mill has the Cowboys contemplating a monster splash trade in the 2026 NFL Draft. What if they pull off the blockbuster? We explore in this 3-round 2026 NFL mock draft. <\/p>\n

The 2026 NFL Draft<\/a> is nearly ready for kickoff. There\u2019s probably a few more free agent signings and contract extensions that will beat the buzzer between now and the 23rd. But by and large, we\u2019re ready to lock in these boards and team needs and get this thing rolling. <\/p>\n

The A to Z Sports NFL mock draft simulator<\/a> is going to be my best friend for the next three weeks. Countless 7-round team-specific mock drafts and, today, a 3-round 2026 mock draft. This 3-round mock draft explores one of the biggest rumors of the week \u2014\u00a0what happens if Jerry Jones and company tee up a blockbuster deal<\/a> for a pass rusher? <\/p>\n

2026 NFL 3-round Mock Draft<\/p>\n

1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana<\/p>\n

The Raiders make official what we\u2019ve largely assumed would be the case when they secured the top pick. The signing of veteran QB Kirk Cousins ensures Mendoza shouldn\u2019t play until he\u2019s ready and gives him a valuable sounding board in the quarterback room. <\/p>\n

2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, LB\/EDGE, Ohio State<\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 pick here is largely dictated by the board. There\u2019s a chance this is David Bailey. Perhaps Sonny Styles will garner some consideration. Reese has the ability to play off-ball and has significant rush upside \u2014 which serves as the tiebreaker. It\u2019s a \u2018more you can do\u2019 league. <\/p>\n

3. TRADE! Dallas Cowboys: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech<\/p>\n

TRADE TERMS \u2013 DALLAS RECEIVES 3rd & 104th OVERALL PICKS, ARIZONA RECEIVES 12TH, 20TH, & 152ND OVERALL PICKS<\/p>\n

Blockbuster! Dallas ponies up BOTH first-round picks in 2026 (but preserves their 2027 capital) to make the leap up the board for a Lone Star pass rusher, David Bailey from Texas Tech. Draft analyst Todd McShay recently referenced<\/a> this possible deal and made some waves. If it happens, I don\u2019t suspect it will be for pennies on the dollar. But I like the idea of ensuring Bailey to Dallas amid a re-tooled defense. <\/p>\n

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

The Titans probably snag Bailey if this trade doesn\u2019t go off. But the pivot to Sonny Styles is one that Tennessee should feel great about, as they are sorely lacking the linebacker presence that Robert Saleh had in San Francisco with Fred Warner. Not many people can dream of playing linebacker the way Warner can, but Styles is on the list. <\/p>\n

5. New York Giants: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame<\/p>\n

The Giants end up feeling the kickback from the Bailey trade as much as anyone, as I think Styles would have been a great fit in New York. Instead, the focus turns to finding the best offensive piece to put around QB Jaxson Dart. That would (comfortably) be Jeremiyah Love for me. <\/p>\n

6. Cleveland Browns: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State<\/p>\n

Cleveland\u2019s got plenty of ammunition to work with in this class, so there\u2019s no need to force a need here at No. 6. I like the value of a wide receiver versus their left tackle options and Tate is an in-state talent who would offer Cleveland\u2019s quarterback room a volume target on the perimeter. <\/p>\n

7. Washington Commanders: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami<\/p>\n

Dan Quinn\u2019s defensive overhaul was in full force in free agency. Odafe Oweh, K\u2019Lavon Chaisson, Leo Chenal, Nick Cross, and Charles Omenihu are all meaningful additions. The board here leaves a handful of players under consideration \u2014\u00a0including SAF Caleb Downs. But the Bain Jr. is simply too disruptive of a line of scrimmage presence for Quinn to pass up. <\/p>\n

8. New Orleans Saints: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU<\/p>\n

Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quincy Riley aren\u2019t going to be enough for me to turn down a fit like Delane in New Orleans. The Saints have lost Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor in the last two offseasons. Delane, who played in New Orleans\u2019 backyard this past season, would be a centerpiece player as the Saints engage in their competitive window. <\/p>\n

9. TRADE! Miami Dolphins: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami<\/p>\n

TRADE TERMS \u2013 MIAMI RECEIVES 9th & 109th OVERALL PICKS, KANSAS CITY RECEIVES 11th, 90th, & 151st OVERALL PICKS<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs, after watching Delane and the pass rushers fall off the board in short order, decide to get a little greedy. They drop back just two spots but move up 19 spots and into Day 2 with Miami\u2019s 90th overall selection while also adding a fifth-round pick. <\/p>\n

For the Dolphins, this trade is about two things: playing defense for any other team interested in leaping up, and ensuring a tough board draw for Kansas City doesn\u2019t turn into a selection of Mauigoa for the Chiefs. The Dolphins can play Mauigoa at right guard in the short term before he lands at tackle to replace Austin Jackson long-term. <\/p>\n

10. Cincinnati Bengals: Caleb Downs, SAF, Ohio State<\/p>\n

The best defensive player on the board. This is and will forever be my mantra for the Bengals this year. The fact that it is an all-around secondary piece like Downs? That\u2019s just the cherry on top. <\/p>\n

11. Kansas City Chiefs (via MIA): Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee<\/p>\n

The Chiefs\u2019 wait from the trade down with Miami isn\u2019t a long one. The pick becomes one of the most high-upside players in the class. McCoy was a big winner at his Pro Day for proving his health and explosiveness had returned from an injury in early 2025. McCoy pairs with Nohl Williams and free agent Kader Kohou to give the Chiefs a promising group at cornerback after the Trent McDuffie deal. <\/p>\n

12. Arizona Cardinals (via DAL): Spencer Fano, OL, Utah<\/p>\n

Arizona now gets to cash in on their pick from the trade down with Dallas. The right side of the Cardinals\u2019 offensive line is in need of some work and Fano feels like a great fit for the LaFleur offense. <\/p>\n

13. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL): Makai Lemon, WR, USC<\/p>\n

Los Angeles thrived as a 13-personnel team in 2025. But having more flexibility into the future will only help keep this window open so long as Matthew Stafford is around. Lemon can be a valuable piece to transition to when Davante Adams\u2019 time in Los Angeles is done, too. <\/p>\n

14. Baltimore Ravens: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State<\/p>\n

Penn State guard Vega Ioane is a popular pick here but the addition of John Simpson and the team\u2019s 2025 pick of Emery Jones Jr. could be enough to convince Baltimore to go after a little more \u201csplash\u201d. From a talent standpoint, this pick would be a steal. And as the team figures out the right play with Zay Flowers\u2019 contract, Tyson is good leverage. So long, of course, as he stays healthy. <\/p>\n

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami <\/p>\n

The Buccaneers\u2019 pass rush team already got one boost with free agent Al-Quadin Muhammad. But tacking Mesidor on to this unit still makes a ton of sense. And the Bucs\u2019 young rushers haven\u2019t done enough to deter Jason Licht from making a splash pick for the room. <\/p>\n

\"TexasOct 25, 2025; Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA; Texas A&M Aggies wide receiver KC Concepcion (7) celebrates after a first down during the first half against the Louisiana State Tigers at Tiger Stadium. Stephen Lew-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

16. New York Jets (via IND): KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s got their eyes on a long-term build and they\u2019ve secured a bridge quarterback in Geno Smith. Getting the best collection of talent to put around their QB of the future, when the time comes, is a top priority. Concepcion is lightning in a bottle with the ball, has explosive play ability downfield, and would be a terrific option opposite Garrett Wilson at wide receiver. <\/p>\n

17. Detroit Lions: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia<\/p>\n

Whether the Lions\u2019 move of Penei Sewell to left tackle sticks or not, it doesn\u2019t really matter with the Freeling selection. Freeling\u2019s played both spots himself and gives the Lions some flexibility as they continue to rebuild their offensive line \u2014\u00a0the lifeblood of the offense. <\/p>\n

18. Minnesota Vikings: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon<\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s secondary looks a little different without Harrison Smith. The safety room as a whole gets a speedy replacement in the form of Thieneman who can be free to make plays on the back of Brian Flores\u2019 hyper-aggressive scheme. <\/p>\n

19. Carolina Panthers: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson<\/p>\n

Carolina has done well in free agency to stack up the roster and diminish glaring needs. Yes, Mike Jackson played well last year. But he\u2019s also a 29-year old cornerback going into a contract year in 2026 for a Panthers team that\u2019s paid a lot of premium prices on free agents. <\/p>\n

20. Arizona Cardinals (via DAL through GB): Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama<\/p>\n

And this, my friends, is the payoff for Arizona. Instead of moving up from the second-round to guarantee they land Ty Simpson, the Cardinals use the second pick from the Cowboys trade earlier in the round to get the jump on securing Simpson as a quarterback to work with long-term. <\/p>\n

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Olaivavega Ioane, OG, Penn State<\/p>\n

Ioane\u2019s tumble outside the top-2o is the Steelers\u2019 gain. Pittsburgh lost Isaac Seumalo in free agency and has a vacancy available at left guard, which Ioane can step into immediately. An interior trio of Ioane, Zach Frazier, and Mason McCormick has the potential to be one of the best interior trios in football. <\/p>\n

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida<\/p>\n

The Banks pick is a risk. There\u2019s his current foot injury, which he suffered at the NFL Combine. Banks also missed time he endured in 2025 after missing most of the season. There\u2019s the inconsistency of his game, too. But the only defensive addition for the Chargers this offseason is Dalvin Tomlinson. Banks would add another fearsome talent up front and, if he hits, give Los Angeles a versatile core of the line of scrimmage for the long haul. <\/p>\n

23. Philadelphia Eagles: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State<\/p>\n

Philadelphia probably has other options that would make a bigger impact short-term. But the chance to get an heir for Lane Johnson? That\u2019s too good for me to pass up. Iheanachor is raw and it would be the perfect fit for him to play behind Johnson for a year. Johnson turns 36 in May and the Eagles are facing mounting salary cap debt in the coming years, so a transition from Johnson and a corresponding transition plan feels vital. <\/p>\n

24. Cleveland Browns (via JAX): Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama<\/p>\n

The Browns wait and ultimately get their guy at left tackle via this pick of Proctor. Cleveland now has a completely remade offensive line \u2014\u00a0and if Proctor hits you could very easily convince me up front that it\u2019s a better unit overall. <\/p>\n

25. Chicago Bears: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, SAF, Toledo<\/p>\n

The Bears added a big signing at safety with Coby Bryant via free agency. But the other safety spot? That\u2019s very much a \u201cwide open\u201d situation. McNeil-Warren offers Dennis Allen with a big, long, playmaker on the back-end. <\/p>\n

26. Buffalo Bills: Christen Miller, DT, Georgia<\/p>\n

Buffalo is one of the other teams to feel the fallout of the Cowboys trade in this mock. It cuts down on Buffalo\u2019s trade-down leverage with no quarterback left on the board under first-round consideration. Accordingly, the Bills kick off the Jim Leonhard era with my personal favorite defensive tackle in this class. Miller is a point of attack stalwart who should allow Buffalo\u2019s other young defensive tackles to stay in their lane and play to their strengths situationally. <\/p>\n

27. San Francisco 49ers: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon<\/p>\n

32 year old George Kittle is coming off of an Achilles injury. That\u2019s a scary place to be for a 49ers offense that\u2019s got upheaval at wide receiver and uses Kittle as an engine to their offense. Sadiq isn\u2019t the same in-line player that Kittle is but he can be a prolific weapon in Kyle Shanahan\u2019s offense all the same. <\/p>\n

28. Houston Texans: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson<\/p>\n

Yes, the Texans signed Braden Smith to a two-year deal. But it\u2019s also true that Smith has played north of 766 snaps one time since 2020. Durability has been an issue. Miller can help the Texans secure a pair of bookend tackles alongside Aireontae Ersery and help stop the churn of linemen in and out of Houston each year. <\/p>\n

29. Kansas City Chiefs (via LAR): TJ Parker, EDGE, Clemson<\/p>\n

The Chiefs, after trading down from No. 9 to 11 and drafting a cornerback, now secure a pass rusher to help fill out a unit that\u2019s got plenty of questions. Clemson\u2019s TJ Parker gets the call here in a move that will take some of the pressure off 2025 third-round pick Ashton Gillotte (and ramp up the competition for 2023 first-round pick Felix Anudike-Uzomah). <\/p>\n

30. Miami Dolphins (via DEN): Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana<\/p>\n

The Dolphins go offense early again \u2014\u00a0as they\u2019d be right to after investing significantly in QB Malik Willis this offseason. Omar Cooper Jr. is a tough run after catch weapon with outstanding body control and hands. He\u2019s a much different flavor receiver than Miami fans are accustomed to, but I think he\u2019ll fit in great with the kind of culture Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan are trying to build. <\/p>\n

Willis now has a stalwart lineman up front and a new best friend in the passing game in this 3-round mock draft.<\/p>\n

31. New England Patriots: Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, UCF<\/p>\n

Mike Vrabel can\u2019t stop getting good production out of Harold Landry. Malachi Lawrence could be the next version of that player for Vrabel. New England stacks some extra pass rush onto their roster as they continue to expect playing with leads as this young team continues to mature and get better. <\/p>\n

32. Seattle Seahawks: Keldric Faulk, DL, Auburn<\/p>\n

Seattle is a tough nut to crack. They don\u2019t have a ton of glaring needs. The value here, with Faulk still on the board, is a tough chance to pass up. Maybe Faulk is just a base end and a 5-tech who never blossoms as a player. But what if he balloons up in weight and learns to play inside? Is he Leonard Williams heir? Maybe. Maybe he\u2019s the Demarcus Lawrence heir. Faulk has a lot of possible paths for success \u2014 I\u2019d trust Mike Macdonald to pick the right one. <\/p>\n
