Although it is early in the NFL season, one team has already created a bit of separation in its bid for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft . On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans won their first games of the regular season, which leaves the New York Jets as the only winless team remaining in the league.

Projected needs : QB, W
