2026 draft archive
This is the permanent snapshot of how every team looked when the draft room closed. Current rosters can mutate through Yahoo later; this page remains the evidence locker.
As drafted
Fifteen picks per team, grouped exactly as drafted. Owner last names stay because the league has standards now. Troubling ones, but standards.
Pick-by-pick
Round-by-round archive for when someone insists they “meant to take him next.” Yes, absolutely. Very convincing.
Columnist mode
Equal parts analysis and libel-adjacent family entertainment.
F-this team n covid
Gibbs, A.J. Brown, Olave, Higgins and Burden give this roster enough receiving firepower to make the scoreboard ask for a union break.
QB got pushed to Kyler Murray in Round 11, which is bold in the same way eating gas-station sushi before a road trip is bold.
If the RB room stays upright, this team is annoying immediately. If not, the waiver wire gets a restraining order.
Monsters of the multiverse
Bijan, DeVonta, Pickens, DJ Moore and Caleb Williams is a strong spine with plenty of weekly ceiling.
The middle rounds wander into committee backs and hope-based WRs. Very multiverse: some timelines are beautiful, others involve Rachaad White starting in November.
Good enough to scare people, weird enough to scare its owner.
Da Beers
Ja'Marr Chase, Brock Bowers, Zay Flowers, Ladd McConkey, Joe Burrow and TreVeyon Henderson is clean, balanced, and rude to opponents.
The RB depth asks a lot from Javonte, Henderson and late lottery tickets. That is less a bench and more a group text marked ‘you up?’
One of the better builds. Regrettably competent.
Talk Purdy to Me
Puka, Malik Nabers, Kyren, Lamar, LaPorta and Travis Kelce is a highlight reel with a password-protected ego.
RB depth gets thin after the stars, and carrying multiple veteran tight ends feels like opening a museum wing.
A dangerous weekly ceiling. Also a weekly opportunity to yell at the television like it owes money.
You Just Got Shmacked
McCaffrey, Drake London, Waddle, Tyler Warren, Tuten and Jordan Love give the roster punch at every skill spot.
CMC is magnificent, but putting him in the foundation is like building a mansion on a trampoline: exciting, luxurious, deeply insured.
If health cooperates, this team shmacks. If not, the name becomes self-reporting.
Craig’s Team
Jonathan Taylor, Nico Collins, Trey McBride, Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Mahomes is a lovely top half.
The QB room became a collectors’ shelf, and some late RB picks feel more like emergency snacks than meals.
Not flashy, but properly dangerous. The kind of roster that ruins your week without raising its voice.
404 Team Not Found
Amon-Ra, Jeanty, Rashee Rice, DK Metcalf, Tony Pollard and Mark Andrews are real weapons.
TE got crowded early, QBs stacked up, and the roster construction occasionally refreshed into a browser error.
Lots of talent. Needs the manager to turn off chaos mode by Week 2, which seems optimistic.
RookRunningbacks
JSN, Hampton, Breece, Egbuka, Jayden Daniels and Tucker Kraft is athletic, modern, and properly irritating.
Some rookies will be awesome. Some will be motivational quotes in cleats. The roster is betting it can tell the difference early.
Ceiling is excellent. Floor is a developmental podcast.
That's A-Moore-aye
James Cook, Chase Brown, Tetairoa, Rome Odunze, Brian Thomas Jr. and Justin Herbert is a strong, flexible core.
Bo Nix and Malik Willis behind Herbert is not depth; it is a fire drill with jerseys.
Plenty good enough to defend the belt, assuming the QB cabinet never needs opening.
Patrick's Team
Saquon, CeeDee, Josh Allen, Swift, Christian Watson and Jordan Addison is the kind of start that makes everyone check the draft room settings.
The TE situation gets experimental, and the back half has some ‘I saw a tweet’ selections.
Strong contender. Name grade: D-minus. Football grade: much better, irritatingly.
Last Minute Consequences
Jefferson, Achane, Kamara, Worthy, Jalen Hurts, Kittle and Hockenson is a loaded front office apology letter.
There are a lot of premium parts and a few depth pieces that look like they were grabbed while the laptop battery hit 4%. Very on-brand.
High ceiling, high drama, exactly as advertised.
Grandma Bear
Kenneth Walker, Derrick Henry, Bucky Irving, Etienne, Davante Adams, McLaurin and Dak is a team built to win ugly and enjoy it.
There is age risk here. Derrick Henry and Davante Adams are still dangerous, but the warranty paperwork is getting thick.
Grandma brought cookies and a power run game. Respect both.
