The 2026 NFL Draft order is starting to take shape. After a busy day of trades, which teams have multiple first-round picks?

Four Teams Have Two First-Round Picks

The New York Jets had themselves a busy day.

Hours before the trade deadline, the Jets traded cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Jets received a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, and wide receiver AD Mithcell from the Colts for Gardner.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys sent a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to the Jets for Williams.

At 1-7, the Jets’ chances of making the 2025 postseason are virtually impossible. Instead of playing out the rest of the season with their star players, the Jets smartly sold their best assets for vital draft capital.

The Jets are positioning themselves for the future. Head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey are stockpiling many top draft picks for the next two drafts.

In 2026, the Jets have two first-round picks and two second-round picks. The following year, the Jets have three first-round picks. With New York needing to find a franchise quarterback, the Jets can either use multiple selections to select the right quarterback or package picks to move up in the draft.

Whatever they choose to do, the Jets will be one of the most influential teams at the next two drafts.

The Jets are one of four teams with first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Cleveland Browns acquired a second first-round pick in 2026 thanks to the Travis Hunter draft-day trade in 2025.

The Dallas Cowboys will have the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 first-round pick because of the Micah Parsons deal.

Finally, the Los Angeles Rams will have the Atlanta Falcons’ 2026 first-round pick after a 2025 draft-day trade.
