The 2026 NFL Draft is here!

A whole year’s worth of content, analysis, chatter, and more has led us to this moment. Tonight, 32 players will become first round picks, and teams will usher in a new class of young talent into their organization.

Instant analysis and NFL Draft grades are not for everyone. I get it. And if it’s not your thing, then keep on scrolling. However, each pick on Thursday night will get a live grade and instant reaction here. So, bookmark the piece, refresh after every pick, and see what my thoughts on each pick are.

I have attached a top-100 best available players as well based off my big board to follow along on who the top players on the board are when your team is on the clock.

So, let’s have some fun, draftniks!

DISCLAIMER: My big board is film and athletic upside scaling only and does not account for injury/character reports.

We can go ahead and knock this one out, right? We’ve known the draft starts at pick No. 2 for quite some time now.

I am treating this grade as a pass/fail. How can you grade a quarterback-needy team taking the only quality quarterback first overall?
