56) in the 2026 NFL Draft. Over half of the respondents want to trade up. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is the shoo-in favorite (-20000 odds) to be the first overall pick next month.

The second overall pick figures to be one of the draft class’s top three EDGE defenders: Ohio State’s Arvell Reese (-240), Texas Tech’s David Bailey (+300), or Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. (+1000). After those three names, there’s a bit of a drop-off at pass-rushing positions.

There isn’t much talent in the bottom of the first round, but closer to the middle rounds, there are plenty of mid-tier guys to be found this year. We’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see if the Jaguars can land one of their guys with the 56th overall pick, or whether they’ll consider moving up.
