2026 NFL Draft: Jordan Reid unveils final ESPN mock draft, pick predictions for all 7 rounds

IMG_6598by: Nick Kosko04/20/26nickkosko59

ESPN’s Jordan Reid released his final mock draft, all seven rounds, with predictions for all teams and all picks. So get ready!

The NFL Draft in Pittsburgh is just three days away so the predictions and projections are about to be thrown out the window. But, we can still go one more round with all 257 picks!

So without further ado, let’s break down Reid’s latest mock draft. We start with the top 10 picks!

1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB – Indiana

The No. 1 overall pick in this mock draft, and every other mock draft, is Mendoza. The Indiana QB won the Heisman Trophy and led the Hoosiers to the national title while going undefeated.

There really isn’t any other option for a team that desperately needs a new face of the franchise. Mendoza tossed 41 touchdowns and just six picks last year by the way.

2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, LB/EDGE – Ohio State

The Jets could go David Bailey or Reese here, but mock drafts seem to be split. Reid has Reese going No. 2 overall to the Meadowlands.

This past season, Reese logged 69 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and two pass deflections. He was also named an All-American during his collegiate career.

3. Arizona Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa, OT – Miami

The Cardinals have to protect their QB at all costs. If Mike LaFleur is wise, he’ll draft Mauigoa in the first round and make sure he’s a franchise tackle.

He’s arguably the best offensive lineman in the entire draft class, depending upon who you ask. Reid opts for him high up in this mock draft.

4. Tennessee Titans: David Bailey, EDGE – Texas Tech

The Titans go defense in Reid’s mock draft as Robert Saleh gets an instant starter for his defense. There’s a chance they go RB here with Jeremiyah Love, but Bailey is too enticing to pass up.

Bailey led the FBS in sacks last year with 14.5 after transferring in from Stanford. He’ll be plugged into that defense right away.

5. New York Giants: Sonny Styles, LB – Ohio State

Since the Giants have two picks in the first round now, two in the top 10 actually, Reid can get creative with his mock draft. 

Styles is a linebacker that can be plugged in right away in the middle of that New York defense. He had 244 tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss and nine sacks in his career.

6. Cleveland Browns: Carnell Tate, WR – Ohio State

There are a number of directions mock drafts have led the Cleveland Browns to go as of late. But how about a bona fide stud at wide receiver this time around?

In 2025, Tate put up 51 catches, 875 yards, nine touchdowns and 17.2 yards per catch. He had 121 catches, 1,872 yards, 14 touchdowns and 15.5 yards per catch in his college career.

7. Washington Commanders: Jeremiyah Love, RB – Notre Dame

How about the Commanders pairing Love with QB Jayden Daniels in Washington? That’s what Reid has in this mock draft!

Love was a star at Notre Dame and one of the best running backs in college football over the last few years. Last year, he ran for 1,372 yards, 18 touchdowns and 6.9 yards per carry. Love has 40 total touchdowns over the last two seasons.

8. New Orleans Saints: Mansoor Delane, CB – LSU

The Saints need a new gamer in the secondary. So Reid goes with Delane in this mock draft as New Orleans loses a lot of vets on that side of the ball.

Delane had two interceptions, which may seem low, but he was only targeted 36 times. He allowed just 10 catches for 119 yards and is a big-time tackler.

9. Kansas City Chiefs: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE – Miami

The Chiefs have a premium pick here so Reid gives them a star. Bain is an instant starter and could be a problem for opposing NFC East quarterbacks.

Bain Jr. had 20.5 sacks during his college football career, including 9.5 this past season. The star EDGE rusher finished 2025 ranked No. 1 among EDGE rushers with 54 hurries and second with 67 pressures as well.

10. New York Giants: Caleb Downs, S – Ohio State

A bona fide leader can be had here and Reid’s mock draft has the Giants taking Downs. He starred at Alabama as a freshman before transferring to Ohio State, where he became an even better player. Basically, this is a two-for-one on defense courtesy of the Dexter Lawrence trade with Cincinnati.

In three college seasons, Downs had 257 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, six interceptions and 12 pass deflections. He was a two-time All-American in college.
