It truly is March Mad-Maxx-ness.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens had an agreement that would have sent star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to Baltimore for a pair of first-round picks in 2026 and 2027. The "had" is the keyword in this case.

On March 10, the eve of free agency, the deal fell apart, leaving both teams and Crosby in an awkward spot. It also pushes the 2026 NFL Draft order back to an earlier iteration.

With the Raiders no longer receiving a first-round pick for Crosby this season, they're back to just a single selection in the first round this upcoming draft. That pick, the No. 1 overall selection, will likely be Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza when the first round of the draft gets underway in April.

The Ravens also get a first-round pick back, which will be much needed for Baltimore to infuse some more young talent following a disappointing 8-9 season.

Here's how the NFL draft order looks after the Crosby deal fell through:

1. Las Vegas Raiders – Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana2. New York Jets – Arvell Reese, LB/DE, Ohio State

3. Arizona Cardinals – David Bailey, OLB/DE, Texas Tech

4. Tennessee Titans – Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

6. Cleveland Browns – Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

7. Washington Commanders – Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami (Fla.)

8. New Orleans Saints – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

9. Kansas City Chiefs – Makai Lemon, WR, USC

10. Cincinnati Bengals – Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

11. Miami Dolphins – Francis Mauigoa, OT/G, Miami (Fla.)

12. Dallas Cowboys – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

13. Los Angeles Rams (from Atlanta Falcons) – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

14. Las Vegas Raiders (from Baltimore Ravens) – Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn

16. New York Jets (from Indianapolis Colts) – Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
