The first round of the 2026 NFL draft saw 16 of the 32 picks traded, resulting in eight teams having no first-round picks and six having second-round selections. The Falcons, Bengals, Broncos, Packers, and Jaguars all entered the draft without a first-draft pick, having previously traded their own picks. The Browns and the Giants also drafted two players, with the Jets having three first-born picks. All teams with multiple first-choice picks missed the playoffs last season.
