NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah predicts Seattle will beat New England in the season-opening rematch, citing the Seahawks’ fast, violent defensive front that overwhelmed the Patriots in the Super Bowl; Seattle has a new offensive coordinator and running back, while New England added A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, and Alijah Vera-Tucker, but Jeremiah says the trenches should still tilt Seattle’s way.
In the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, NFL Network’s Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah sparred over whether Raiders No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza would start ahead of Kirk Cousins. Davis argued Mendoza would take the field, even proposing a 12-start floor, while Jeremiah contended he’d sit behind a rebuilt Raiders team under Klint Kubiak, predicting seven starts. The four-minute on-air clash became the weekend’s standout TV moment, with Ian Rapoport weighing in as Mendoza’s timeline remains unsettled amid the Raiders’ rebuild.
With five Day 3 picks for the 2026 NFL Draft, the 49ers head into Saturday eyeing targets from Daniel Jeremiah's list of top remaining prospects, including Jermod McCoy (CB), Keionte Scott (CB), Kyle Louis (LB), Deion Burks (WR), and Sam Hecht (IOL), among a longer list of potential fits.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah explains the 49ers’ approach to the 2026 first-round pick at No. 27, noting more depth at edge rushers could push San Francisco toward targeting an offensive tackle for first-round value, while also keeping open the option to trade back for more capital. He mentions a potential Kenyon Sadiq selection as a creative fit, highlights defensive options like Akheem Mesidor and T. J. Parker if they stay put, and suggests Malachi Lawrence as a back‑end trade-back target, with the ultimate call hinging on depth, value, and draft-night instincts.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah says the Titans should consider drafting Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 4 overall, even though it goes against his usual rule of building the offense first. Love is praised as a complete back with strong receiving ability, after rushing for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025 and earning Heisman finalist, unanimous All-American, and Doak Walker Award honors. Jeremiah believes a better offense line and supporting pieces could let Love excel in Tennessee, potentially making the pick feasible in a year when the Titans aim to bolster their offense ahead of a new stadium, though other teams (like Arizona) may also be interested.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah says the Chargers’ best‑case No. 22 scenario would be Vega Ioane from Penn State, but that’s unlikely to happen. More probable moves involve trading up or back, or taking an edge rusher such as T.J. Parker or Zion Young. If the board doesn’t fall that way, interior‑line or edge help make sense, with Day 2 possibilities at defensive tackle and the top tight ends (Kenyon Sadiq, Eli Stowers) offering later options.
NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s mock has the Commanders trading from No. 7 to No. 16 with the Jets to gain more picks, but the piece argues that chasing volume could cost elite talent like Jeremiyah Love, Caleb Downs, and Carnell Tate, so Washington should resist unless the offer is astronomical.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah says Fernando Mendoza is already learning the Raiders' offense with Brian Griese, a process likened to Joe Burrow’s pre-draft learning. Mendoza is Jeremiah’s top-rated 2026 draft prospect and is highlighted for toughness, with expectations he could be the Raiders’ No. 1 overall pick.
NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah says he hasn’t heard from any NFL teams that share Dan Orlovsky’s claim that Ty Simpson is a better prospect than Fernando Mendoza, noting conversations with the Raiders and others didn’t align with Orlovsky’s stance. The debate has drawn pushback from Mel Kiper Jr. and others, while Orlovsky has defended his evaluation amid a week of public debate.
With free agency wrapping up, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. projects the Giants to take Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at No. 5, while NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has New York selecting versatile linebacker Sonny Styles; both highlight Styles' elite Combine numbers and Downs' standout credentials, signaling a compelling but divided first-round outlook for the Giants.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his third mock draft after free agency, slotting the Las Vegas Raiders with Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 and filling the top 10 with versatile playmakers (LB/EDGE, OT, RB, WR) before completing the 11–32 slate with a mix of corners, receivers, offensive linemen and edge rushers. Notable picks include Arvell Reese, Francis Mauigoa, Jeremiyah Love, Sonny Styles, Carnell Tate, Rueben Bain Jr., David Bailey and Spencer Fano, with the rest of the round featuring names like Mansoor Delane, Makai Lemon, Kadyn Proctor and Jadarian Price among others.
Daniel Jeremiah released his third 2026 NFL Draft mock after free agency, projecting the Raiders take Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 and a mix of OL, WR, and EDGE picks through the top 32, including Arvell Reese to the Jets, Francis Mauigoa to the Cardinals, Jeremiyah Love to the Titans, Sonny Styles to the Giants, and Carnell Tate to the Browns, with the rest of the first round filling out positions like OT, CB, and TE.
Daniel Jeremiah unveils his 2026 NFL Mock Draft 3.0, projecting 32 first-round picks without trades ahead of the April draft in Pittsburgh. Notable selections include Jeremiyah Love to the Titans at No. 4 and Sonny Styles to the Giants at No. 5, with a full slate of picks across OL, WR, CB, and more anchored by team needs; the piece also references a Broncos-Dolphins trade developing in the lead-up to the draft.
Daniel Jeremiah updates his Top 50 draft rankings (3.0) after the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, noting position clusters and movement driven by combine results as pro days approach, with Mendoza, Love, Styles, Bailey and Reese among the standouts as Draft Day in Pittsburgh nears.
NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah shared seven takeaways ahead of the 2026 Scouting Combine: the Jets should explore veteran QBs via trades (e.g., Tanner McKee, Davis Mills) instead of drafting at No. 2 and should stack trench value to maximize picks for next year; Ty Simpson has the most to gain among QBs and could go early despite injury questions; Bills need a bigger, more physical WR and may find value on Day 2 with players like Chris Bell; Bears appear set to sit and let the draft fall to them at No. 25, with edge rusher and offensive tackle options likely; Broncos could eye Jadarian Price as a potential first-round back to pair with RJ Harvey; Patriots should target defensive value, especially on the edge, while wide receivers can come later; and Dillon Thieneman’s stock could surge after the combine.
