NFL Draft 2026 live streams really whet the appetite ahead of the new football season later in the year. The best up-and-coming players from College and beyond will descend on Pittsburg as 32 teams make 257 picks over seven rounds from April 23-25.
Beyond that potential star quarterback, though? Well, it's anyone's guess. The Commanders (No.7), Chiefs (No.9), Cowboys (No.12), Rams (No 13) and Ravens (No.14) are among potential Super Bowl contenders with early picks.
The Jets seem likely to bolster their defense with the No.2 overall pick with David Bailey from Texas Tech or Arvell Reese from Ohio State likely to feature most prominently in their thoughts. Reese's Ohio teammate Sonny Styles, a linebacker, plus Utah's offensive tackle Caleb Lomu and Notre Dame's running back Jeremiyah Love are all expected to be snaffled early.
It's Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and the New York Giants to pick next, while the latter also have the No.10 selection after trading Dexter Lawrence II to the Bengals. Expect plenty more late trades to add to the drama, with the time for Round 1 picks down from 10 to just eight minutes.
