Louisville's Chris Bell Sliding in NFL Draft

The 2026 NFL Draft kicked off with Indianas Fernando Mendoza going first to the Las Vegas Raiders. Louisville fans are disappointed as Chris Bell, their top prospect, didnt make the first round, extending their drought without a first-rounder to six years. Louisville had a hot streak with two first-rounders in 2018 and three in 2014. ESPNs latest mock has Bell sliding to the third round, potentially reuniting him with Mendoza on the Raiders. Two other Louisville players are in the running for day two picks, with one possibly going undrafted. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
