Though it’s early within the NFL season, one workforce has already created a little bit of separation in its bid for the No. 1 general choice within the 2026 NFL Draft. On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans gained their first video games of the common season, which leaves the New York Jets as the one winless workforce remaining within the league.
There’s a distinctive dynamic at play forward of the upcoming draft relative to this previous yr. Three groups already maintain a second first-round choose from draft-day trades this yr, whereas the primary 2025 first-rounder wasn’t dealt till Thursday evening of that draft.
