The 2026 NFL Draft opened Thursday with as many as nine Florida Gators eligible to be selected in the seven-round affair. With one round and 32 picks gone, no Gators were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft for the second straight year. Florida has now gone without a first-round pick in consecutive drafts for the first time since 2004-06.

While the Gators had seven players picked in 2025 — the most since 2021 — none were chosen across the first three rounds for the first time since 2012. The nine-round drought without a player being selected (dating back to 2024) was the program’s longest in the modern seven-round draft era.

Only Gators will be with you throughout the final six rounds on Friday and Saturday, tracking where the remaining Gators are selected to continue their on-field journeys in the professional rankings.
