Proctor at 9 and three receivers early: bold Round 1 predictions for the 2026 NFL Draft
NFL Network’s bold Round 1 predictions for the 2026 draft foresee a Chiefs top-10 shocker with Kadyn Proctor at No. 9, multiple trades reshaping the early picks, three receivers (Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon) going off the board before the 11th pick, two smaller-school defenders (Chris Johnson and Malachi Lawrence) challenging first-round status, and a potential run on offensive linemen – possibly as many as 10 OLs drafted in the opening night.
