Contest Math Mock 2026
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. Some high profile prospects didn't make it including Jermod McCoy (could go anywhere with injury concerns), Vega Ioane (top 15 talent imo but hard to find a spot where multiple teams would want him), WR's KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston (see a lot of different spots for them including 2nd round) and Keldric Faulk (see him all over the place on big boards.

Monroe Freeling was also kind of hard to find a spot for as he has been mocked as high as 6 overall. This seems more his range though. Detroit looks like the destination for him but I wouldn't exclude the Panthers and Bucs or a team that trades up for him
Thieneman seems like the chalk pick right now for the Vikings. Even if they don't take him we've got some safety needing teams in this range.
That's why I'm mocking EMW here.
Time for a run on tackles as a lot of teams need them in this range and this also makes sense from a value perspective.
Now we're getting in the zone where a lot of teams need edge and D line.
With a lot of teams in this range needing (nickel) corner I've got some prospects clustered.
32.
Last and most certainly least we've got a desperate trade up for Ty Simpson in order to secure the 5th year option.
