Welcome to Bleeding Green Nation’s 2026 NFL Draft live blog! The event has an 8:00 PM Eastern start time on ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network. Click here for more info on how to watch the broadcast.
This post will have updates throughout the night, including picks, trades, and more, while also serving as an open thread for discussion in the comment section.
The Philadelphia Eagles will begin the night with the No. 23 overall pick, but it wouldn’t be surprising for Howie Roseman to make a move, even trading up to earlier in the round to get their guy — perhaps an offensive tackle that can double as Lane Johnson’s heir apparent. The team has eight total picks through the first six rounds, so there’s plenty of opportunity to make some moves.
Let’s have some fun!
[Stay tuned to Bleeding Green Nation for the latest updates regarding Eagles moves and others made around the league.]
UPDATES
9:19 PM: The Dolphins dropped back just one spot and added two more picks from the Cowboys, and at No. 12, Miami selected Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor. So much for all that hoping that Proctor would end up falling to the Eagles at No. 15 or 23 — he’s now the third OT off the board, and will probably affect the way Howie moves the rest of the night.
9:09 PM: The Cowboys traded up for safety Caleb Downs out of Ohio State, and I am sick about it…
9:06 PM: ANOTHER TRADE! The Cowboys have traded up to No. 11.
9:03 PM: Another OT off the board… The Giants drafted Miami OT Francis Mauigoa with the No. 10 overall pick.
8:57 PM: The run on offensive tackles could start now, with the Browns selecting Utah OT Spencer Fano with the No. 9 overall pick. The Giants are reportedly keeping their pick at No. 10, but Howie could be making calls to move up right about now.
8:5o PM: The Saints and their No. 8 pick were considered a trade target for several teams, but New Orleans ended up keeping it, and selected WR Jordyn Tyson out of Arizona State. Tyson was a player that the Giants were reportedly hoping would fall to their second pick at No. 10, but it looks like they missed out.
8:47 PM: The Commanders finally get on the clock at No. 7 and draft Ohio State LB Sonny Styles — and I personally am sick of these other NFC East teams drafting Buckeyes, and Howie absolutely refusing to do so.
8:40 PM: The Chiefs selected LSU CB Mansoor Delane after trading up to No. 6. Reports suggest Kansas City thought Washington would go for Delane after missing out on Carnell Tate, so they wanted to jump the Commanders at No. 7 to get their guy.
8:36 PM: A TRADE!! The first trade of the night is between the Browns and Chiefs, with Kansas City moving up to No. 6 and Cleveland trading back to No. 9. There have already been some surprises in the handful of early picks, so Brett Veach must have his eye on someone still available.
8:34 PM: The Giants are unfortunately adding an absolute beast to their defense, drafting Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese with the No. 5 overall pick.
8:29 PM: The Titans are bringing in a big-time target for Cam Ward, selecting WR Carnell Tate out of Ohio State with the No. 4 overall pick!
8:23 PM: Welp, the Cardinals went with a running back! Arizona selected Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love at No. 3. Love is now the highest RB drafted since Saquon Barkley in 2018, and will make the most guaranteed money of any RB in NFL history with his $50.5 million fully-guaranteed rookie contract.
8:19 PM: There were several reports that the Cardinals No. 3 overall pick was among trade discussions earlier in the day, but if they don’t give the pick away, Arizona could go with a QB here.
8:18 PM: The Jets were on the clock at No. 2 overall and used over five minutes to pick Texas Tech DE David Bailey.
8:12 PM: The Raiders took nearly five of their allotted eight minutes to make a pick everyone knew was coming: Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is headed to Las Vegas!
8:00 PM: LET’S GOOOO!!!!!! It’s time to watch Howie cook (in a couple of hours). Raiders will be the first team on the clock.
