The 2026 NFL Draft is in the rear view mirror, with a little more roster construction coming down the road from now until training camp. We now have our best look at how these teams have assembled their rosters for Week 1 with the draft now over. There were major surprises and talking points over the course of the three days at Pittsburgh. Jeremiyah Love going to the Cardinals, the Rams surprising us all and picking Ty Simpson at 13, Arvell Reese and Caleb Downs falling a bit and more. Ryan McDaniel and Matt Mormann hit on all those major points, including how they thought the Ravens and Titans draft classes stack up, who came out of the weekend better and just how much did some teams better position themselves to drop a talented QB in 2027 in a solid infrastructure on offense.
