The 2026 NFL Draft promises to deliver an unpredictable first round. A lack of blue-chip talent at premier positions in this year's class makes it difficult to project. Despite that perception, there is a ton of talent available all throughout the seven rounds.

Our Top 100 big board has served as a reference point throughout the entire pre-draft process. A number of underrated prospects we identified early in the process are no longer classified as underrated. Our evaluations were concise and thorough.

There will be steals drafted beginning with Round 1, and concluding with Round 7 (extending into undrafted free agency). Our scouting activity has allowed us opportunities to identify every steal during the NFL Draft.

This is Sports Illustrated's running list of every value selection as they occur in real time.
