ESPN NFL analyst Field Yates has officially released his final list of the top 150 prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft, with Heisman Trophy-winning Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza claiming the number one overall spot.
According to Field Yates, the top of the board is dominated by high-impact offensive talent and a significant presence from Ohio State. Following Mendoza at the top are Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 2 and Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey at No. 3. The rankings highlight a historic run of defensive talent from Columbus, with Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and Caleb Downs all cracking the top six.
The release of the Top 150 serves as the definitive big board for the network ahead of next week's draft in Pittsburgh. Notable offensive standouts in the top ten include Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa and Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, while Miami's Rueben Bain Jr. rounds out the elite tier as the tenth-ranked overall prospect. This comprehensive evaluation reflects the final scouting grades following the conclusion of the collegiate pro day circuit.
