I like doing this exercise every year, even though trying to predict Round 2 is even more of a fool's errand than Round 1. Hey, I had 10 player-to-team matches in my Contest Mock, so I guess that wasn't too bad. (I would have done much, much worse with my Version 5.0 Mock, which I didn't bother to change in the last 48 hours or so.)

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 since 2014.
Here is my 2026 mock with some trades and comps.

I always look to go for correct Player-To-Team Picks. Usually hope for eight or more correct selections, but this year could get crazy since it’s not really that great of a draft.

This is something I came up with the last time I entered this contest. Instead of mocking players to teams I will just order them in a way I think offers maximum value to score as many points as possible. . I did pair the prospects with teams I think might be interested in them which shakes up the whole order

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. I have either created a masterpiece or wasted my time.
