NFL, mock draft
Digest more
In just under a fortnight, the Eagles will host the Cowboys in the NFL regular-season opener—and another season of fantasy football will begin.
It’s also the beginning of a year-long chance for players to build their résumé ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, which is set for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. Of note, Texas redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning is not included due to a lack of sample size and the belief that he’ll return to school for the 2026 season.
Throughout the Les Snead era, the Rams have been a team that has consistently been aggressive at the quarterback position. When it was clear that Sam Bradford wasn’t going to work in St. Louis, Snead traded for Nick Foles.
Football is nearly back. The NFL regular season will kick off in less than two weeks, which leaves fantasy enthusiasts with little time to prepare for their drafts.
The second (of two) tight ends in this two-round mock draft is Trey McBride, who was Kyler Murray’s favorite target last year. While his well-document woes at finding the end zone finally ended in Week 17, McBride hauled in 111 receptions on his way to finishing as the TE2 last year, something that should be his floor in 2025.
