Raiders join Jets, Cowboys, Browns, Chiefs with two first-round picks
On draft day in 2025, all 32 teams began the first round with their initial pick in place. This year is very different.
Five teams have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and five other teams have none, after the Raiders obtained the Ravens’ first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 by agreeing to trade Maxx Crosby.

The Raiders have their own first-round pick (No. 1 overall) and the Ravens’ first-round pick (No. 14).
The Jets have their own first-round pick (No. 2) and the Colts’ first-round pick (No. 16) from the Sauce Gardner trade.
The Browns have their own first-round pick (No. 6) and the Jaguars’ first-round pick (No. 24) from last year’s trade that allowed the Jaguars to draft Travis Hunter.
The Chiefs have their own first-round pick (No. 9) and the Rams’ first-round pick (No. 29) from the Trent McDuffie trade.
The Cowboys have their own first-round pick (No. 12) and the Packers’ first-round pick (No. 20) from the Micah Parsons trade.

Five other teams don’t have a first-round pick: the Falcons, Ravens, Colts, Packers and Jaguars.
The teams with two first-round picks all missed the playoffs last season and know they have time to rebuild. These choices may be their building blocks.
