With the Seattle Seahawks defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, the official draft order for the first round is now set. This year, the NFL Draft will be held from April 23-25, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Every draft day brings a feeling of hope for each of the 32 NFL franchises, as any one of them may select the league’s next superstar. The Las Vegas Raiders will be making the first selection of the draft, with the Jets, Cardinals, Titans, and Giants rounding out the top 5.
Fernando Mendoza leads the group of prospective NFL players, as this Heisman and National Championship-winning QB is expected to go first overall. When looking at the prospect rankings, it becomes rather apparent that the vast majority of positional needs could be filled in this draft. There’s talent all over the field, with elite edge rushers, tackles, and even a safety projected to go in the top 10. With all the talent on the board and the combine still yet to come, we won’t know who ends up where until draft day.
