ROUND 1
1..LV selects... Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
I won't spend too long explaining this pick. It's been a lock for a very long time now. The only situation in which this changes is if the Jets move up and take Mendoza themselves.
2. NYJ selects... Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State
According to Daniel Jeremiah, this pick is essentially a lock to be Reese or David Bailey, and it's really up to the Jets. I feel like there is a slight nod to Reese as the safer pick to make.
3. ARI selects... David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech
With this mock, I'm suggesting an alternate choice as opposed to who I had in my 1.0. Here, I feel like the Cardinals might think Bailey is the best available player.
4. TEN selects... Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
I feel that, regardless of how the Titans feel, they might get peer-pressured into this pick. Not that it's a bad pick, but Love's stock is only going to rise, and he is a blue-chip player.
5. NYG selects... Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
A lot of the picks might mirror my 1.0, and it's no different here. Styles is one of the better linebacker prospects we've seen in a while, and I see the Giants as a solid landing spot.
6. CLE selects... Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
In the past few weeks, reports have stated that Tate's floor seems to be the 10th overall pick. I think the Browns are trying to find out if they have their QB of the future, and Tate will help them with that decision.
7. WSH selects... Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
I think this would be the fallback option if both Love and Tate are off the table, which they are here. Their secondary could use an upgrade, but don't rule out a trade-up if they want to snag Love or Tate.
8. NO selects... Rueben Bain Jr, EDGE, Miami
As far as off-field drama, I'm not sure how that will impact his draft stock. So, I am going to assume it won't impact it, and he lands here in the top 10.
9. KC selects... Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami
I have back-to-back Miami picks here, because I see the Chiefs trying their best to protect a post-ACL tear Mahomes.
10. CIN selects... Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
This pick continues to make too much sense. Downs instantly makes a bad defense a lot more fun and dangerous.
11. MIA selects... Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
I think there will be a run on offensive linemen in the first round of the draft, and with KC getting things underway, I think Miami uses one of their two first-round picks to snag one to protect their new franchise QB.
12. DAL selects... Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
Reports say that Jerry Jones will try to move into the top 10 for one of the premier defensive talents, but I think they would be more than satisfied with McCoy here at 12.
13. LAR selects... Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
I know that they are reportedly interested in snagging a WR, but with a deep class, and tackles rolling off the board, and their RT retiring... this pick makes the most sense to me.
14. BAL selects... Ola Ioane, IOL, Penn State
This is another repeat from the 1.0. It fills a huge team need and is the right value for Ioane.
15. TB selects... Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami
Yet another repeat, but I think Tampa addresses the defense with this pick, given the hot seat under the head coach. I wouldn't rule them out as a landing spot for Sadiq, though, either...
16. NYJ selects... Makai Lemon, WR, USC
There is a serious lack of playmakers on offense for the Jets outside of Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Lemon helps out Geno with the passing game.
17. DET selects... Blake Miller, OT, Clemson
The Lions need to get in on this run of offensive tackles with a hole there on their roster.
18. MIN selects... Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
Another repeat, but much like the Ravens pick, it's a perfect positional need, at the right value for the player.
19. CAR selects... Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo
The GM said there isn't anything wrong with drafting a WR in the first round for 3 straight years... but I think that is a smokescreen. I think the value would be in adding the best player available, and that would be EMW here.
20. DAL selects... T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
If Dallas holds on to both first-round picks, they will more than likely be defensive players. Here, they get an edge rusher with serious promise.
21. PIT selects... Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama
The Steelers could address the QB position here, but if not, tackle seems like almost a lock. They could go WR, but I think the addition of Michael Pittman makes their WR core a lot stronger.
22. LAC selects... Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Considering how their season ended in 2025, I would imagine if some of these top tackles are still available at 22, it'll be a no-brainer.
23. PHI selects... Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
I think Philly could roll the dice here and draft Sadiq. Goedert only signed a 1-year deal, and with no real huge holes on the roster, I wouldn't see why not. Sadiq might have a hard time finding a home in the first round.
24. CLE selects... Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee
Cleveland makes their secondary stronger with Hood here at 24. snagging a top talent on offense and defense in the first round.
25. CHI selects... Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
The defense will need to be addressed with regression expected, and Howell improves the pass-rush group.
26. BUF selects... C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia
Allen steps in and aids a Buffalo defense that wasn't good against the run in 2025.
27. SF selects... Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
The Niners will surely try to improve their pass rush, which was near the bottom of the league in most major statistical categories.
28. HOU selects... Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio State
Why not make an already feared unit even more feared? McDonald makes a stout defense even more impressive against the run.
29. KC selects... Aveion Terrell, CB, Clemson
Cornerback is likely the biggest hole on the roster for KC. Terrell would provide a starter right away.
30. MIA selects... Jordan Tyson, WR, Arizona State
Tyson can replace the speed that was lost out wide by Waddle and Hill, and provide some weaponry outside of Achane for Willis.
31. NE selects... Lee Hunter, DL, Texas Tech
New England could stand to get stronger in the trenches on defense, seeing it as the way they lost the Super Bowl. Hunter makes that group stronger against the run and pass.
32. SEA selects... Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina
Seattle replaces the void that Tariq Woolen left with someone who fits the same build.
ROUND 2
33. NYJ selects... Chris Johnson, CB, South Dakota State
Another tool for Aaron Glenn's defense.
34. ARI selects... Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
Arizona feels like one of about 3 landing spots for Simpson. They may move up into the first, but they most likely won't have to.
35. TEN selects... Omar Cooper Jr, WR, Indiana
A talent like Cooper falling to Tennessee in the second round would be a blessing.
36. LV selects... Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
I could absolutely see a run on receivers early in the second round.
37. NYG selects... Peter Woods, DL, Clemson
The Giants find their Dexter Lawrence replacement.
38. HOU selects... Anthony Hill Jr, LB, Texas
Another solid talent that can strengthen the Houston defense.
39. CLE selects... Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Cleveland snags a solid tackle prospect here, rounding out their biggest needs.
40. KC selects... KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
Going back to an Eric Bienemy offense, they may want some more speedsters.
41. CIN selects... Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
The Bengals add another terrific athlete to their defense.
42. NO selects... Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama
A solid slot receiver to give Shough some more weapons to throw to.
43. MIA selects... Keionte Scott, CB, Miami
Scott doesn't have to travel far to help out a depleted Dolphins secondary.
44. NYJ selects... Caleb Banks, DL, Florida
The Jets are now in a situation where they should draft the best player available.
45. BAL selects... Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee
Baltimore always seems to need a WR, and Brazzell can fill a void as an X receiver.
46. TB selects... Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri
This is a position where Tampa can afford to double-dip.
47. IND selects... Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, UCF
The Colts first selection will likely be on defense, and it works out with Lawrence still on the board.
48. ATL selects... Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson
Atlanta will surely add another WR from this stacked class to a room that only has Drake London as a good option.
49. MIN selects... Keylan Rutledge, IOL, Georgia Tech
Minnesota needs a new center, and Rutledge can play that position well.
50. DET selects... R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma
Detroit needs solid depth across the defense. Thomas helps out the pass rush core.
51. CAR selects... Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
They resist in the first, and it works out, snagging a solid talent in Fields in the second.
52. GB selects... Christen Miller, DL, Georgia
Green Bay will most likely address the defensive line, as its depth there is thin.
53. PIT selects... Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia
Branch offers a change of pace from wideouts like Pittman and Metcalf on the outside.
54. PHI selects... AJ Haulcy, S, LSU
Haulcy fills a void that Reed Blankenship left. Easy plug and play guy.
55. LAC selects... Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois
Mack returns, but likely only for a season. They will need to get younger at the position.
56. JAX selects... Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati
The Jags will need to find a way to replicate the production that Devin Lloyd offered on defense.
57. CHI selects... Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M
Investing in the offensive line is something the Bears should keep in mind, as they want to protect the franchise QB.
58. SF selects... Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon
San Francisco needs depth everywhere, apparently, and the offensive line would be a wise position to have it.
59. HOU selects... D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana
Houston needs a solid boundary corner to pair with Stingley, and Ponds offers that kind of upside.
60. CHI selects... Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina
Chicago adds one of my favorite talents in the draft here to add more thump to their secondary.
61. LAR selects... Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
The Rams have a history of drafting WR's outside the first round very well. Bell would be no different.
62. DEN selects... Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt
Denver joins the draft and immediately plugs a need with their first pick.
63. NE selects... Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan
New England adds more talent to its front seven.
64. SEA selects... Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame
Filling Kenneth Walker's shoes is a big ask, but Price has the all-around talent to be more than productive in that offense.
