Other 2026 Mock Drafts: Charlie Campbell (12/21)
(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)
The Titans can thank the Jaguars for putting them in position to obtain a franchise quarterback now that they have a top-two selection.
Shedeur Sanders has a high football IQ and great leadership skills. He doesn’t have a stellar arm, but it’s good enough for him to be a top-five pick.

Also, if you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.
Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!
The Browns, thanks to their tanking efforts by starting Dorian Thompson-Robinson, are in a position to select one of the top two quarterbacks in this class.
Cam Ward is a dual-threat quarterback who was very productive at Washington State and now Miami.
Pick change; previously Shedeur Sanders, QB
The Giants foolishly won their way out of a quarterback, but perhaps that just means that they’ll tank for Arch Manning, as seen in my 2026 NFL Mock Draft. In the meantime, New York needs to draft the best player available.
Travis Hunter has incredible athleticism and plus size. He’s an elite talent at both cornerback and receiver.
Pick change; previously Shedeur Sanders, QB
The Patriots have a miserable offensive line that must be addressed. They must also find a legitimate No. 1 threat for Drake Maye.
Tetaiora McMillan has mismatch size for the NFL, and he was very productive during the ’23 season.
Pick change; previously Will Campbell, OT
The Jaguars lost out on the chance to land Travis Hunter with their win over the Titans. Perhaps they’ll still land a cornerback to help their dreadful secondary. They could even trade down to do so.
Will Johnson, who had a tremendous showing during the championship run, has a plus skill set and upside.
The Raiders wanted Michael Penix Jr., but the Falcons snatched him off the board. They can’t get a quarterback here either, but perhaps they’ll find a better blocker for their future signal-caller.
Will Campbell has average length, but is a nasty blocker.
Pick change; previously Tetaiora McMillan, WR
Haason Reddick has his issues, so the Jets may decide to add another edge rusher to further enhance the defense.
Abdul Carter has been described as a missile as a pass rusher.
Pick change; previously Tetaiora McMillan, WR
Bryce Young improved late in the season, so the Panthers might give him another year. If so, they could use this pick to replace Brian Burns.
James Pearce put a ton of pressure on the quarterback in ’23. He has a ton of potential, but he needs to fill out his frame.
Pick change; previously Mykel Williams, DE
The Saints lost Marshon Lattimore in a trade to the Redskins, so they’ll need to replace him early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Benjamin Morrison has a ton of upside as a 6-foot cornerback. He did a good job of limiting Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Bears are awful against the run. They need some help in their defensive interior.
Mason Graham is a relentless player with a non-stop motor.
The 49ers desperately need offensive line help. They have no successor for Trent Williams.
Jonah Savaiinea is a quick blocker with plus athleticism.
The Cowboys made the mistake of heading into the 2024 season with Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott as their running backs. It’s doubtful that happens again.
Ashton Jeanty has impressive speed and athleticism, and he also possesses terrific receiving ability.
The Dolphins have major offensive line issues. They can’t rely on Terron Armstead, and that’s the least of their problems.
Kelvin Banks is a terrific pass protector.
The Colts had a defense that couldn’t stop anyone down the stretch, so I imagine they’ll be drafting the best player on that side of the ball.
Kenneth Grant has flashed upside and is considered an underrated talent.
The Falcons have a bottom-10 defense because they can’t generate much pressure on the quarterback. That must change.
Mykel Williams has an incredible first step and was terrific down the stretch for Georgia.
Pick change; previously Mike Green, DE
Arizona was always expected to pass on a quarterback in the early rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, but if Kyler Murray continues to suffer injuries, the Cardinals may not have a choice, especially if they have the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Then again, Arizona could continue to make excuses for Murray, especially if it misses out on the top two prospects. If so, perhaps the Cardinals will finally obtain a replacement for J.J. Watt or Chandler Jones.
Mike Green has been a terror from the edge. He is very explosive and fast.
Pick change; previously James Pearce, DE/OLB
