The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft has been set, and as expected, the Las Vegas Raiders selected Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick. But there were some surprises, including Carnell Tate being drafted No. 4 overall by the Tennessee Titans. Tate was just one of four Buckeyes selected in the first 11 picks, with defensive trio Avel Reese (No. 5 Giants), Sonny Styles (No. 7 GA) and Kaleb Towns (No. 11 Cowboys) also selected.
Rounds 2 and 3 will begin on Friday at 7 p.m. ET.
