Jay Glazer is preparing for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.
“I have some insights, but I can’t share specifics just yet, as I’ve been told to wait until the official start hour,” Glazer mentioned on “Wake Up Barstool” this Wednesday.
Given Glazer’s solid reputation for breaking NFL news, this is definitely something to keep an eye on when the three-day event kicks off Thursday evening with the first round.
It would certainly help if Fox Sports insiders could share more details, but we might guess he’s already been informed by league executives.
There’s a strong feeling that Fernando Mendoza is set to join the Raiders with the first overall pick. Meanwhile, discussions regarding the Jets and their second pick seem to revolve around either Arbel Reese or David Bailey.
It might make sense for the Jets to trade for a wide receiver, but their strategy for the second first-round pick, which is at 16th, remains a bit murky.
Word is the Cardinals may be eyeing running back Jeremiah Love with the third pick, yet there’s always the chance they could opt to trade that pick.
With Glazer suggesting that teams should be prepared before discussing possible developments, it’s reasonable to speculate he might know about a potential trade.
Some rumors suggest the Chiefs, currently holding the ninth pick, could be considering a move up, especially if both Reese and Bailey drop lower than expected.
The Cowboys have two first-round picks, at 12 and 20, which has led to whispers they may be looking to trade up for a more promising candidate.
Jerry Jones is known for making bold decisions, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Cowboys aim for a top talent during the draft.
Switching gears to the NFC East, the Eagles, under CEO Howie Roseman, are always a team to watch for aggressive moves.
There are speculations about AJ Brown being traded to the Patriots, but that seems likely to occur by June 1 due to salary cap factors.
This also raises the question of whether high-profile players like Caleb Downs, Colonel Tate, and Jordyn Tyson could fall into the 20s—potentially giving teams a chance to scoop them up.
