In this Post-NFL Combine Mock Draft, we reshuffle the board after the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine and break down a massive shakeup: Jeremiyah Love surging into the top five while multiple Ohio State linebackers come off the board early. Which testing numbers, athletic traits, and on-field drills pushed these prospects into Round 1 territory ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft?

We analyze Love’s explosiveness, long speed, contact balance, receiving upside, and positional value at running back in today’s NFL. Is he truly worthy of a top-five selection, or is this Combine hype? We also evaluate the Ohio State linebackers’ range, coverage ability, blitz versatility, football IQ, and Relative Athletic Scores (RAS) that may have solidified early draft capital.

This full first-round mock draft covers team needs, quarterback domino effects, edge rusher depth, offensive tackle movement, draft stock risers and fallers, and scheme fits following Indianapolis testing. Which franchises capitalized on athletic standouts? Who may have overreacted to workout numbers?
