The 2026 NFL Draft is a week away and the anticipation is growing. With Fernando Mendoza widely expected to be the first choice for the Las Vegas Raiders, the intrigue begins behind him. According to an NFL general manager, the first round of the 2026 draft could be filled with multiple trades.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach held a press conference a week before the 2026 NFL Draft. Veach teased that fans will be in for some trade activity on Thursday, April 23.
“I think the fans are going to get a treat next Thursday,” Veach said. “I think it should be an entertaining night, probably a lot of business… I think from the fans’ standpoint, they should have a lot of fun next Thursday.”
Several NFL teams have been linked to potential trades during the first round, such as the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. There is a possibility that Dallas could trade the 12th pick to Arizona for the third overall pick. This is one of many trades that have been discussed.
It also does not include trades of established NFL players such as Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown. Although it seems more likely after June 1, it does suggest that NFL teams could move established stars during the 2026 NFL Draft. After all, this wouldn’t be the first time this happened.
Even if no stars are moved in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the fan base should be excited for what’s to come soon. One of the NFL’s best general managers believes there will be “a lot of trades.” If so, the drama and anticipation will continue to increase over the next week.
