Description

The New England Patriots may have a low draft pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but their AFC East rivals, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, could secure top spots. In a recent mock draft, the Dolphins are aggressively trading up to the number one pick, targeting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. This move comes as a response to Tua Tagovailoas benching, indicating Miamis urgent need for a new quarterback. Mendozas impressive statistics, such as his six point two percent big-time throw rate and two point three percent turnover-worthy play rate, make him an attractive choice. With a potentially weak quarterback class in 2026, more teams may follow suit, potentially reshaping the AFC East landscape.
