The 2026 NFL Draft is approaching, and our NFL Nation reporters have identified the most pressing questions for teams holding top-10 picks. The Las Vegas Raiders own the No. 1 selection for the first time since 2007 and are heavily linked to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. With Geno Smith's struggles in 2025, Las Vegas appears ready to select a long-term signal-caller to pair with playmakers Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers.

Elsewhere in the top 10, the Tennessee Titans must find ways to support 2025 No. 1 pick Cam Ward, likely by adding a pass rusher to boost their defense. The New York Jets face a complex quarterback plan, potentially acquiring a veteran while drafting a future option later. The Arizona Cardinals, after a 3-14 season, need offensive line help to protect their investment in Marvin Harrison Jr.

The draft's middle tier features teams with multiple needs. The New York Giants, under new coach John Harbaugh, are expected to prioritize building in the trenches. The Cleveland Browns, holding two first-rounders, must address an aging offensive line and a weak receiving corps. The Washington Commanders, with the NFL's oldest roster in 2025, need to infuse youth into key positions around quarterback Jayden Daniels.
