Matt Miller, a journalist tracking the 2026 NFL Draft, has released his final projection for the first round, featuring insights from insider Jeremy Fowler. The document outlines predictions for all 32 picks, offering a glimpse into team inclinations and player buzz leading up to the event.
Projections and Whispers
Miller’s latest mock draft, purportedly bolstered by Fowler’s observations, forecasts a specific set of players for several franchises.
The Miami Dolphins are pegged to select Spencer Fano, an offensive tackle hailing from Utah.
The New York Giants are projected to take Jordyn Tyson, a wide receiver out of Arizona State. Miller reportedly wavered on this choice.
For the Washington Commanders, the prediction points to Sonny Styles, a linebacker from Ohio State. Miller’s report suggests Styles is a consistent target if available.
The Kansas City Chiefs, acquiring a pick via the Los Angeles Rams, are said to be leaning towards Chris Johnson, a cornerback from San Diego State. This move, the report implies, is enabled by earlier selections.
In Tennessee, the Titans are predicted to draft Jeremiyah Love, a running back from Notre Dame. Fowler's intelligence, however, indicates the Titans have also mulled over linebacker Sonny Styles at this position.
Draft Landscape
The release of Miller's mock draft arrives amidst a flurry of draft-related speculation and reporting. Other journalists like Jordan Reid and Field Yates have also published their final rankings and projections for the draft class. Mel Kiper Jr. and Adam Schefter have contributed their own intel, painting a broad picture of potential team strategies and player movements.
The discussion extends to significant first-round considerations, including the potential draft position of players like Ty Simpson and the strategic leanings of teams such as the Jets, Cardinals, Titans, and Giants, particularly concerning their top selections. The NFL Draft's first round is scheduled for broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
