The 2026 NFL draft opened with the Las Vegas Raiders selecting quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall after his national title win with Indiana. A surprising move came from the Los Angeles Rams, who picked Alabama’s Ty Simpson at No. 13, despite current MVP Matthew Stafford being their starter. Rams’ coach Sean McVay affirmed Stafford’s leadership while emphasizing Simpson’s potential. Mendoza, who celebrated his selection with family, expressed gratitude for his journey from an overlooked prospect to the NFL. The draft featured various notable picks, including edge rusher David Bailey by the Jets and running back Jeremiyah Love by Arizona.
