Former Westfield and Purdue star Dillon Thieneman has transferred to Oregon. Will he play himself into the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft?

May selected Florida C Jake Slaughter with the 22nd overall pick and Texas A&M RG Ar'maj Reed-Adams with the 86th overall pick for the Bengals in his mock. Slaughter has started the last two years as Florida's center and has only repped that position in-game.

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.

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.

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.
