With less than a week to go, I've made many changes to the mock, which I will keep changing until the final day. Top 30's are over, Jordyn Tyson's workout has a major effect, and there's a trade in the top 10 that allows a team to wind up with three 1st rounders this year. OL's fly off the board, with 9 going in Round 1, including one against consensus. Just added Round 2 as well.

My 2026 Final Mock Extravaganza is based on all the research I've done, Vegas betting odds, and gut feelings I have for the 2026 NFL Draft.
The NFL Draft is on my birthday this year and I want nothing more than to listen to Mel Kiper scream about god knows what on national television. In the past, I tended to get caught up mocking what I think teams should do so this year I will do my best to mock what I think they will do regardless of who I would draft if I were in their position. I am not a GM, but I like to think I would have done a better job for the Jets at least. Maybe I should find another hobby, but I won't.
Some are saying this draft isn't as good as past drafts, but they say that every year. "They" said 2021 was an incredible draft for Quarterbacks, Zach Wilson and Trey Lance are barely in the league anymore. Just like every draft, some will succeed, some will not. There will definitely be a handful of guys going way earlier or later than consensus.

Crunch time - time to lean into the Vegas odds when banging out my mock.
For this exercise, I've averaged Vegas consensus 1-5/6-10/1st round odds and player O/U odds to determine the current exact top-2 rounds of player selections. I then analyze the player/team matches and whether they makes sense, taking into account Vegas team/1st pick position odds and my own opinions. If the match makes no sense at all, then options according to Vegas implied player tiers are discussed, as are potential trade spots. I've lost my mind.

Been on this site since this guy WalterFootball had me convinced that Jimmy Clausen was going #1 overall to the Rams in 2010. I was 15 then been entering contest mocks every year since.
Here is my 2026 mock with some comps.

My penultimate mock draft. At this point, I will take a couple of weeks off until draft day and come back with fresh eyes to prepare my final mock draft on Draft Day.

A bit of a larger update from Mock 2.1. Free Agency and Pro Days will likely continue to change the selections.

Feels like a tough one to predict this year. Draft night is on my birthday this year and I want nothing more than to listen to Mel Kiper scream about god knows what on national television. There could be a few picks out of left field this year but to be honest I don't know what that is in this draft. Disclaimer: This is not what I think they should do. It is what I think they will do.

Now that the early wave of free agency has come and gone, and some big trades have been made, I'll put out a mock draft. 7 trades. Agree or disagree at your own peril! This will likely be my last mock until just before the draft in a month.

With the primary wave of free agency over, and a month away today from the 2026 NFL Draft, here is my third iteration of the mock draft. Expect a gap between this an V4, which will go up around a week before, and V5 behind my final go on Draft Day.

The free agent store has been raided. All that remain are dented and nearly-expired canned goods like Joel Bitonio and Kevin Zeitler. Time for my first mock draft of the season. Two rounds.
