The Ducks could have as many as three players drafted in the first round on Thursday night and more taken on Friday and Saturday.

Oregon broke the program record for most players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft with 10 players hearing their names called. While that record may live to see another year, the Ducks should be sending plenty of players to the next level.

Tight End Kenyon Sadiq Heads to New York

Sadiq became the first Ducks player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft when the New York Jets picked him at No. 16. Sadiq became the highest-drafted Oregon player since quarterback Bo Nix was picked No. 12 by the Denver Broncos in 2024.

The former Ducks tight end finished his junior season at Oregon with eight touchdowns and 560 receiving yards on 51 receptions. After spending a couple of years behind tight ends Terrance Ferguson and Patrick Herbert in the depth chart, he received his opportunity to flourish in the Ducks' offense in 2025.

Sadiq will have Jets quarterback Geno Smith throwing to him next season, with New York potentially having the opportunity to select a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Kenyon Sadiq and Dillon Thieneman Projections

Two Oregon players seem to be consensus first-round draft picks entering the Thursday, April 23, NFL Draft: tight end Kenyon Sadiq and safety Dillon Thieneman. Sadiq and Thieneman were also the only two Ducks juniors to declare for the draft a year early.

Thieneman is widely considered a mid-to-late first-round pick, with multiple mock drafts linking him to the Minnesota Vikings. Some mock drafts predicted Sadiq to be a top-15 pick over the past couple of months, but he’s been projected to go everywhere from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 15 to the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 23.

While Oregon defensive coordinator Chris Hampton told the Eugene media ahead of the draft that he’d be joining Thieneman in the green room, Sadiq told Oregon Ducks on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus that he’d be with family in Idaho.

“lt'll be so special. Something that you literally work your whole life for. I've been playing football since before I can even remember. So, getting to this point is just pretty surreal,” Sadiq said. 

Offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon is the third Duck who could end up in the first round. Many mock drafts entering the week predicted him to be a second-round pick. However, some believe he could wind up getting selected at the end of the first round.

Outside of Sadiq, Thieneman and Pregnon, Oregon coach Dan Lanning and his staff developed plenty of players into coveted draft prospects this season.

Like Sadiq and Pregnon, cornerback Jadon Canady, wide receiver Malik Benson and offensive lineman Alex Harkey were transfers who made the most of their only season in Eugene. Canady, Benson and Harkey received mostly projections as Day 3 picks.

Longtime Oregon standouts, linebacker Bryce Boettcher and running back Noah Whittington, also headed into the start of the draft on April 23 as projected selections.

The Ducks additionally have special teams players – long snapper Luke Basso, kicker Andrew Boyle, punter James Ferguson-Reynolds, punter Ross James and kicker Atticus Sappington – offensive linemen Matthew Bedford, Charlie Pickard and Isaiah World, cornerback Theran Johnson and wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr., among the list of players looking for NFL opportunities.
