John's 2026 March Mock Extravaganza

Published: March 25, 2026 22 Views 0 Comments Draft: 2026
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.

Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-32
17.
Monroe Freeling , OT , Georgia
They do need a left tackle. The more I think about it the more I love this fit. Feels like a Lions pick.

John's Team Needs: OT, C, CB
18.
Dillon Thieneman , S , Oregon
I do like the pick on defense here whether it's in the secondary or on the line. I have seen a lot of buzz about Thieneman to the Vikings as this could be Harrison Smith's final stand.
19.
Kayden Proctor , OT , Alabama
I originally had Kenyon Sadiq slotted here but now I think he goes earlier. They were blowing a ton of smoke last year with Jalon Walker too. Just keep investing in Bryce Young. They gave him a true WR1 last year and look what happened. Protect the man.
John's Team Needs: OT, EDGE, WR
20.
R. Mason Thomas , DE/OLB , Oklahoma
Feels like a Jerry Jones pick. Their defense is atrocious every year. Just figure it out in the draft.
21.
Caleb Lomu , OT , Utah
22.
Peter Woods , DT , Clemson
23.
Avieon Terrell , CB , Clemson
24.
Omar Cooper , WR , Indiana
25.
Kayden McDonald , DT , Ohio State
26.
Ty Simpson , QB , Alabama
TRADE: I think the Bills will move out of this spot either way but this is the spot where it starts to make sense if a team wants to move up for a QB. The Cardinals and Jets are the two favorites to land Simpson right now, and the Jets will most likely have a top three pick next year in a QB loaded draft.
27.
Max Iheanaschor , OT , Arizona State
28.
Blake Miller , OT , Clemson
29.
Zion Young , DE , Missouri
30.
Akheem Mesidor , DE , Miami
32.
Colton Hood , CB , Tennessee
