Author: FOX Sports April 20, 2026 Duration: 40:37
Just days before the NFL Draft begins on Thursday, Joel Klatt reveals his final Mock Draft of the season. He reveals a surprise team selecting Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love inside the Top 10 and has Ohio State Safety Caleb Downs landing with a team with a Buckeye connection. After shaking up the draft with the Dexter Lawrence trade, the New York Giants grab a playmaker on each side of the ball. Klatt also projects multiple trades to come in the First Round including the Dallas Cowboys trading up to grab a defensive playmaker and another team making a move to draft Alabama's Ty Simpson to be their QB of the future. He has the Chiefs addressing major needs as Kansas City looks to bounce back and make another Super Bowl run with Patrick Mahomes. 0:00-:38 Intro:39-1:31 Las Vegas Raiders1:32-3:02 New York Jets3:03-4:56 Arizona Cardinals4:57-5:54 Tennessee Titans5:55-7:30 NY Giants7:31-8:18 Cleveland Browns8:19-9:17 Washington Commanders9:18-10:24 New Orleans Saints10:25-11:47 Kansas City Chiefs11:48-12:48 NY Giants12:49-14:30 Miami Dolphins14:31-16:28 Dallas Cowboys16:29-18:15 Los Angeles Rams18:16-19:15 Baltimore Ravens19:16-20:30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers20:31-22:08 New York Jets22:09-22:53 Detroit Lions22:54-24:13 Dallas Cowboys (Trade from MIN)24:14-25:41 Carolina Panthers25:42-26:05 Minnesota Vikings (Trade from DAL)26:06-27:21 Pittsburgh Steelers27:22-28:00 Los Angeles Chargers28:01-29:01 Philadelphia Eagles29:92-29:47 Cleveland Browns29:48-30:22 Chicago Bears30:23-32:21 Buffalo Bills32:22-33:03 San Francisco 49ers33:04-33:58 Houston Texans33:59-35:01 Houston Texans35:02-35:44 Miami Dolphins35:45-36:46 New England Patriots36:47-38:53 Seattle Seahawks Learn more about your ad choices.
