NFL Mock Draft Chaos: Cowboys, Rams, Eagles Make Big Moves

On April 21st, Connor Orr dropped a wild 2026 NFL mock draft over at Sports Illustrated,

predicting total chaos in the first round on.

Draft 9.

He seized the Dallas Cowboys jumping to the third pick via the Cardinals to grab

Ed rusher Arville Reese from Ohio State.

The Los Angeles Rams slide into fourth from the Titans for Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love,

while the Kansas City cheese moved to sixth through.

The Browns for Miami tackle Francis Maigua.

And the Philadelphia Eagles climbed to 11th via the dolphins to snack top safety Caleb Downs,

also from Ohio State.

This comes right after the Cincinnati Bengals already flipped their 10th overall pick

by trading for Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.

Or, forecasts, four more deals in the top 11 picks alone,

even though Adam Schefter notes more teams want to trade down this year.

Fans and execs are buzzing because these moves target game changers.

For the Rams, it's about building around an aging Matthew Stafford at 38,

pairing Love with Puka Nakua as future cornerstones and maybe.

Flipping Kyron Williams later to balance the books.

Meanwhile, the Eagles love Downs, whose number one on Bleacher reports Bigboard

and compared to all pro Eric Barry.

GM Howie Roseman's got leverage with a potential AJ.

Brown trade this summer netting a 2027 first rounder,

freeing him to spin Big Now.

Expect fireworks if Orr nails it.

These trades could reshape contenders and spark rival panic across the league.
