Key Storylines

QB Watch
Fernando Mendoza, #1 Overall to Raiders
The 2025 Heisman winner led Indiana to a national championship. At 6-4¾, 236 lbs with elite accuracy, he's the consensus QB1 and projected #1 overall to Las Vegas.
Combine Standout
Kenyon Sadiq — Historic TE Performance
Oregon's Sadiq ran a 4.39s 40-yard dash — the fastest by a TE in combine history — and posted a 43.5" vertical. Locked in as a Round 1 pick.
Ohio State
Buckeyes Could Break Round 1 Records
Arvell Reese (EDGE), Caleb Downs (SAF), Sonny Styles (LB), and Carnell Tate (WR) are all projected top-15 picks — potentially the most R1 picks from any school ever.
Draft Location
Pittsburgh Hosts for First Time Since 1948
