With the defense’s lone constant, edge defender Trey Hendrickson, now set to enter free agency, Cincinnati faces significant needs at every level of the unit. Fortunately, the Bengals still have their draft capital largely intact and own picks in each of the first four rounds.

The good news for Chiefs fans is that while the 2025 season was a brutal watch, losing eight of the final nine games has positioned the team favorably in the draft to address those offensive shortcomings. Here’s an early look at how Kansas City could chart a path back to being one of the most dangerous offenses in football.

Facing one of the oldest rosters in the NFL, the Commanders must now lean heavily on the draft to rebuild the team from the ground up, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Given the volume of needs and the limited draft capital at the team's disposal — Washington currently does not own a second- or fourth-round pick — the team could be a candidate to trade down from its early position at No. 7 overall.

Armed with four of the first 44 picks, New York prioritizes rebuilding its defense while positioning itself to address quarterback if free agency falls short.

The Cardinals land their quarterback of the future in Fernando Mendoza at No. 7, then turn their attention to rebuilding the secondary with ball-hawking corner Keith Abney II and versatile safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.

Las Vegas shores up multiple needs with a well-rounded group of selections, adding proven college standouts who can step in and contribute early.

Cleveland opens this mock draft by landing Tyson, one of the most dynamic receivers in college football before his injury, giving the offense a much-needed playmaker. From there, the focus shifts to the trenches, with multiple offensive line selections aimed at stabilizing a unit headed for major turnover in free agency.

The Giants find themselves in the rare position of drafting inside the top five without glaring needs at quarterback, offensive tackle or edge. Receiver would certainly be a justifiable direction, but for this exercise, we’ll bolster the secondary with a potentially generational prospect who can impact the game at every level of the defense.

Retaining players like Chris Olave gives the club a chance to form a more informed opinion on whether they have something in 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough. If they aren’t sold, quarterback will likely be a top target with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 draft and, as of this writing, find themselves lined up to pick first again in 2026. At this stage of the rebuild, Tennessee simply needs to take top-end talent, almost regardless of position.

The trade deadline arrives at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4, giving teams a final opportunity to add to their roster — or their collection of draft picks — in the coming days.
