John's 2026 March Mock Extravaganza
(Mar 25, 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. Disclaimer: This is not what I think they should do. It is what I think they will do.
Round 1
Picks 1-16
Picks 17-32
They do need a left tackle. The more I think about it the more I love this fit. Feels like a Lions pick.

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.
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

Their defense is atrocious every year. Just figure it out in the draft. I think he is a guy that goes earlier than many mock drafts have.
They have to fill the tackle hole that's been haunting them for who knows how long. Broderick Jones hasn't necessarily panned out so I think drafting the best offensive lineman available here could be the play. I don't think they will take Ty Simpson this early. But, new head coach.
John's Team Needs: OL, QB

Peter Woods could be a steal if he falls to the 20s. Just loved the tape. Explosive and slippery. Quinnen Williams esque. I think this pick is either on the offensive line or defensive line. They have some work to do on both. Wide receiver is a bit of stretch here.

They do have a hole at safety but this roster is still one of the best. They did just take Quinyon Mitchell out of Toledo.

Prospect not selected
I think they will be aggressive in trading up for Monroe Freeling. But I am not going to go crazy predicting trades (yet).
They need to grab an edge rusher to go with Montez Sweat. Or somewhere on the defensive line.
John's Team Needs: DL, S

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.
I believe Terrell may go earlier but I just couldn't find a spot for him. The 9ers have a hole across from Lenoir in the secondary that not many people are talking about.

They have the best defense in the league. Protect Stroud. He regressed due to how bad the offensive line was. The guy was just out there getting killed once he touched the ball. They did some good work in the offseason, keep it going.
John's Team Needs: OL, DT

A few years ago they took Nick Bolton out of Missouri (who was my favorite player in the draft) in the second round. Oddly enough the Chiefs need to rebuild a bit.
They did lose a few defensive players so let's take a corner here to replace Riq Woolen.
