NFL Draft Order Set
The Raiders, Jets, and Cardinals hold the top three picks in the upcoming NFL Draft [https://thedraftnetwork.com/2026/03/11/2026-nfl-mock-draft-free-agency], with the draft scheduled to begin April 23 in Pittsburgh [https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/46149416/2026-nfl-draft-rankings-top-prospects-position].
The Raiders, holding the first overall pick, are widely expected to target a quarterback. Several top quarterback prospects are projected to be available, making it a crucial decision for the team's future. The Jets, at pick number two, could also be in the quarterback market, or they might opt to bolster another position depending on how the Raiders go. Offensive line and wide receiver are potential areas of need for New York. The Cardinals, with the third pick, are in an enviable position to trade down. Several teams needing a quarterback may be willing to offer a significant package to move up and select their guy.
