Week 14 saw a shake-up at the top of the projected 2026 NFL Draft order.
When the dust settled on the early window of games, the Tennessee Titans had picked up a win over the Cleveland Browns, improving the team to a 2-11 record and dropped them in the order. The New York Giants, despite being on a bye in Week 14, moved into the projected No. 1 spot.
The Titans’ victory also allowed the Las Vegas Raiders, who fell to the Broncos in Week 14, to move up to the projected No. 2 selection. Rounding out the projected top five are the Titans, Browns and New Orleans Saints, who also won this week.
Here’s an updated look at the 2026 NFL Draft order in Week 14, led by the Giants and Raiders after the late window.

Top 2026 NFL Draft prospects
Here’s a look at the top 10 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, based on both The Sporting News’ latest mock draft and NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board:
| Rank | Player | Position | College team |
| 1 | Rueben Bain Jr. | EDGE | Miami |
| 2 | Fernando Mendoza | QB | Indiana |
| 3 | Arvell Reese | LB | Ohio State |
| 4 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon |
| 5 | Ty Simpson | QB | Alabama |
| 6 | Caleb Downs | S | Ohio State |
| 7 | Peter Woods | DL | Clemson |
| 8 | Spencer Fano | OT | Utah |
| 9 | Jordyn Tyson | WR | Arizona State |
| 10 | Keldric Faulk | EDGE | Auburn |
Even in an odd year for quarterbacks, with many of the projected top prospects struggling, a handful of potential first-round picks still remain. Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza has played himself into the No. 1 pick conversation, while Alabama’s Ty Simpson and Oregon’s Dante Moore are also in the mix near the top of the first round.
Defenders are also rising up the board. Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. and Ohio State LB Arvell Reese each have cases to be the top overall players in the draft, while Reese’s teammate Caleb Downs has long been projected as a likely top-10 pick.
While 2026 may not feature a true blue-chip wide receiver prospect, Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson remains a highly-rated player despite battling nagging injuries in 2025.
