Fernando Mendoza won a Heisman Trophy, led Indiana to its first national championship and will be the No. 1 overall pick when the Las Vegas Raiders are on the clock next month. The rest of the NFL draft isn’t that clear-cut. It’s not even a certainty that another quarterback will be selected in the first round after Mendoza, though Ty Simpson made a strong case at the scouting combine. The first edition of the AP’s 2026 mock draft has three edge rushers going right after Mendoza, and Simpson going to the Steelers at No. 21.
