The college football season is over. Now it’s time for the NFL draft. Here are The Baltimore Sun’s early projections for the first round.

The Kansas City Chiefs have several holes to fill this offseason. This mock draft has them taking a surprise pick in the first round.

In this edition of the Tennessee Titans' 7-round mock draft, we focus on making Cam Ward's life easier and the defensive perimeter better.

"The Cowboys earned the worst coverage grade in the NFL this season (30.9) and desperately need to upgrade their secondary," Chadwick wrote. "Delane surrendered only a 26.7 passer rating into his coverage this year, the lowest mark among Power Four cornerbacks."

The Buffalo Bills fill several major needs in this 4-round 2026 NFL mock draft as they hope to finally get into the Super Bowl.

The 6-0, 193-pound cornerback recorded four interceptions and seven pass break ups in 2024. One of his best plays came against Alabama last season, when he locked up freshman sensation Ryan Williams in the back corner of the end zone and high-pointed the ball for an interception.

The NFL playoffs are now down to four teams and the Minnesota Vikings are still working on getting back to the NFC Championship Game. They haven't been in the final four since the 2017 season, and only got there because of the Minneapolis Miracle.

The Detroit Lions will enter the 2026 NFL Draft with a clear identity and an equally clear list of priorities. Rather than chasing splashy skill-position players or forcing need-based reaches, Detroit is in prime position to prioritize building up the trenches, along with its depth and long-term sustainability at multiple positions.
