According to Cbssports, Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will determine the final two spots in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The announcement of compensatory selections is the only other missing piece before all seven rounds are known, the report said. Four teams — Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville — do not own a first-round pick in 2026 because of draft-day trades, including deals tied to Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner.

The current order lists the Las Vegas Raiders first, the New York Jets second and the Arizona Cardinals third. The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23–25 in Pittsburgh; compensatory picks must still be announced and the Super Bowl result will finalize the last two first-round slots.
