Overview
- As of Monday's update, Tennessee sits atop the projected 2026 draft board with New Orleans second despite a Week 10 win, followed by the Giants, Browns and Jets.
- New York defeated Cleveland to put both at 2-7, with tiebreakers leaving the Browns slotted ahead of the Jets in the order.
- The Jets recently traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, and their Week 9 bye left them with one fewer loss that affected placement.
- FanSided notes that losing out would guarantee the Titans the No. 1 pick after a Week 10 bye kept them in control of the top slot.
- Early mock drafts project Miami edge Rueben Bain Jr. at No. 1 and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza at No. 2, reflecting quarterback-heavy early forecasts.
