2026 NFL Draft order: Updated picks, team needs and outlook
Although it was at the start of the NFL season, a team has already created a little separation in its offer for the overall selection n ° 1 in the draft of the NFL 2026. On Sunday, the New Orleans and Tennessee Titans won their first games of the regular season, which leaves the New York jets as the only team that remains in the league.
