2026 nfl mock draft new 2 round forecast headlined by 4 top 10 qbs

The College Football regular season is nearing its end. For us, that means that mock draft season is heating up. This particular 2026 NFL Mock Draft features 2 rounds, but no trades. I also used NFL Mock Draft Database for this mock draft, which I highlighted in this particular article as my favorite draft simulator. Without further ado, let’s get to mocking. The Titans have their work cut out for them if they want to improve this offseason.

They should have about $19.5 million in cap space, but lack significant draft capital. Rueben Bain or Arvell Reese would be good options for Tennessee on the defensive front seven. Demario Davis and Cameron Jordan are both set to hit free agency this offseason. The Saints have young pieces across their depth chart, except for their defensive front seven. They found their quarterback in Tyler Shough last season, so let’s have them find their franchise piece on defense in round one. There will be a new head coach in New York, but the task remains the same – build around QB Jaxson Dart.

The Giants have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. Andrew Thomas has proven his worth at left tackle. If they choose, Fano would be a suitable replacement for Jermaine Eluemunor at right tackle. Believe it or not, we’re already halfway through the 2025 NFL season. That means, with the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday (November 4), we’re fully entering 2026 NFL Draft season. Even though we here at NFL Spin Zone have been in 2026 NFL Draft mode since the Spring, but that’s neither here nor there.

Now, we have actual on-field results to react to, and needs are becoming clearer every single week for even some of the best teams in the league. In this 2026 NFL Mock Draft, we’re going to take a look at not only the first round but the first two rounds of the draft and project where some of the top prospects... This 2026 NFL mock draft features a bunch of quarterbacks going within the top 20 picks, and a surprise player jumping all the way into the top two overall. We’ve got a lot to unpack, so let’s get right to it. There is no question that the New Orleans Saints are on the cusp of anointing a new franchise quarterback. We’ve already seen them bench Spencer Rattler in favor of second-round rookie Tyler Shough, and obviously, that’s the first step toward potentially using next year’s top pick at the position.

We’ll see what Shough can do for the rest of this season, but barring something miraculous, the top pick should be a new QB. And Fernando Mendoza has been exactly as advertised this season. One of the hottest risers in the 2026 NFL Draft process right now is Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, who went from being an intriguing potential Day 2 selection to the betting favorite as the... There’s obviously plenty of competition for the QB1 distinction at this point in the process, but Simpson has done his part to make a case this season, and the Jets need a fresh start... The Justin Fields investment did not work out. The New York Jets have thrown a curveball at the NFL trade deadline, sending star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts in return for multiple first-round picks, per multiple reports.

Gardner's arrival in Indy gives the Colts an elite shutdown corner in his prime, while the rebuilding Jets get out from under his massive contract as they continue their rebuild under first-year head coach... How could this deal impact the early going of the 2026 NFL Draft for both of these teams, as well as the rest of the league? Here's an updated look at how the first two rounds of next year's draft could turn out, using the latest updated pick order following Week 9 results: The Saints have the rest of this season to see if Tyler Shough is good enough to be their long-term starter, but if they end up picking this high, that should be a clear... Burning a top-40 pick on a 26-year-old rookie QB was a bad idea from the start, but sunk cost shouldn't keep New Orleans from taking another swing with Mendoza, who has looked like the...

The top needs of those teams will shape the 2026 NFL Draft.

With college football approaching Week 6, attention is starting to turn towards top prospects, especially at the quarterback position where a couple of QBs projected near the top of the draft board are starting... It’s getting interesting for sure, and more interesting depending on a decision by one of those QBs who just happen to be part of a legacy family. Believe it or not, we’re already halfway through the 2025 NFL season. That means, with the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday (November 4), we’re fully entering 2026 NFL Draft season.

The Justin Fields investment did not work out. The Titans need to find a new No. 1 receiver with Calvin Ridley on his way out soon.

Carnell Tate didn’t do much as a freshman, but the tall receiver had a breakout sophomore campaign. Follow @walterfootball for updates. Also, you can Support Us on Patreon here!

Nearly at the end of October and through to November, what does the current NFL Draft board look like? This 2026 NFL Mock Draft explores the current draft order, the opportunities specific teams will have, and the prospects rising fast. It’s a close three-man race, but Fernando Mendoza is my current QB1 in the 2026 NFL Draft, and a prospect truly worthy of the first overall pick. Mendoza has the prototypical size, athleticism, and arm talent at 6’5″, 225 pounds, but it’s his anticipatory feel, resilient poise, efficient operation, and unflinching accuracy that sets him apart. Dante Moore is a close second-place on my current 2026 NFL Draft board, but the 6’3″, 208-pound passer is in the QB1 mix, and for a Dolphins team likely nearing a QB reset, he...

READ MORE: Dante Moore NFL Draft Profile: Week 9 Scouting Report for the Oregon Quarterback There's a misconception floating around about the 2026 NFL Draft. Before this college season kicked off, Texas' Arch Manning, South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier were widely viewed as the top eligible quarterback prospects. Those three haven't quite met the early expectations, which has some people jumping to the conclusion that this is a "weak" QB class. In reality, the rise of Indiana's Fernando Mendoza (my QB1 back in May), Alabama's Ty Simpson and Oregon's Dante Moore has reshaped the board. All three still have remaining eligibility and could theoretically return to school in 2026, but in today's thought exercise, they come off the board quickly -- just not at No.

1 overall. Four teams enter the first round with multiple picks, while just as many have none. The Browns and Rams dealt away theirs in separate draft-day moves a year ago, and the Jets and Cowboys moved on from Quinnen Williams and Micah Parsons, respectively. To set the stage, here are the current odds to be the No. 1 overall pick (via FanDuel Sportsbook). Reminder: This is the current NFL draft order after Week 10 (via Tankathon).

Arvell Reese has exploded up draft boards with his performance for Ohio State this season. Joe Robbins / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images With less than a month remaining in college football’s regular season, the 2026 NFL Draft class is starting to come into focus. Truth time: Some aspects of the ’26 class are underwhelming. The top of the draft isn’t as strong, relative to most years. Offensive line isn’t the strength we thought it could be coming into the season.

And because of how the senior quarterbacks have underperformed, needy NFL teams are stuck hoping multiple underclassmen QBs declare. However, there are also several reasons to be excited about this year’s class. There are plenty of defensive linemen who will be able to upgrade NFL fronts. Optimism about the wide receivers and cornerbacks continues to grow. And this is a really fun linebacker group, starting with Ohio State’s Arvell Reese, who has emerged as the top draft-eligible prospect. Want to play him as a full-time edge rusher?

Reese can do that. Prefer to keep him off the ball? He can do that, too.
