Pundit mock drafts 2026 [maybe with FAILs]

manxman2601 said:
Agreed. The lack of a starter capable EDGE is the only real black mark here.

I don't know how the board fell, but I'd swap out Trotter (good player though) and Ball and go EDGE at 63 and Jimmy Rolder at 125.

You can see the full mock at the link. Jacas went at 62, but DDS was still available. They gave Rolder to TB at 116, with Bryce Boettcher the next LB off the board in the 5th round.
 
Wow. I wish the board fell that way.

My redraft:

31. Max Iheanachor (31)
63. Treydan Stukes (64)
95. Ted Hurst (95)
*** Trade: NE trades 125 and 171 to Cincinnati for 110
110. Keyron Crawford (112)
*** Trade: NE trades 131 and 191 to Arizona for 143 and 183
143. Kaleb Elarms-Orr (150)
183. Eli Raridon (184)
198. Rene Konga (201)
202. Keagen Trost (208)
212. Eli Heidenreich (224)
247. Micah Morris (ND)

How 'bout them apples?
 
That draft would hit everything except RB and CB depth:

RT - Iheanachor
Swing tackle - Trost
IOL - Morris, Trost
X-WR - Hurst
Slot WR - Heidenreich
TE - Raridon

DL depth- Konga
EDGE - Crawford
LB - Elarms-Orr
S - Stukes

Why not enjoy the fantasy for 11 more days?

We will likely all see our dreams crushed starting day 12.

4.125 DL Cameron Ball, Arkansas
4.131 TE Marlin Klein, Michigan

I would be thrilled with just a few of those.

What I DON'T want:

31. Chris Brazzell
63. LT Overton
97. Markell Bell
125. Michael Trigg
131. Deonte Lawson
 
Massive fail from Mike Renner:

Renner's three-round NFL mock draft: A wide-open top 10 becomes a case study in positional value

With as many as 20 players in play for the top 10, this class turns into a real-time test of how teams value positions at the top of the draft
www.cbssports.com

The OTs are off the board, but R Mason Thomas over Akheem Mesidor at 31 and Caleb Tiernan at 63 is a nightmare scenario for me.

Mesidor - Stukes all the way for me if this is how the dominoes fall.
 
Pat Lane 7 round mock:

7-round mock draft: Patriots open with a splash

The Patriots address their wide receiver position in the first round of this new mock draft.
www.patspulpit.com

Not thrilled about the trade, but one could do worse than DDS and Travis Birke rounds 2-3. Some solid day 3 picks, too.
 
Just a heads up. It's probably a bit much for anyone but the saddest amongst us (that'll be me), but NFLSE are doing a full 7 round mock on YT tomorrow at 12 noon ET. They usually bring in guests as it goes.

Agree. I am not a AJ Brown or Raridon fan, but Pat does a solid job including the punter in R7.

2.5 hours to get through the first two rounds.

Miller and Iheanachor went off the board before we picked.

31. TJ Parker
63. Caleb Tiernan
