2025-2026 NFL Combo Mock Draft: Picks 17-32

Walt011 mins
Last update: Sunday, May 3, 2026.

This is a combo mock draft of all the 2025 and 2026 prospects. How would the draft have gone if all the players were available? Here’s the mock, and before you read it, keep two things in mind: 1) The 2025 prospects don’t have their rookie campaigns taken into account; otherwise, someone like Emeka Egbuka. would be a top-10 pick. 2) The 2025 players were removed from each team’s roster for needs purposes.

2025-2026 NFL Combo Mock Draft: Picks 1-16


  1. Detroit Lions Detroit Lions: Kelvin Banks, OT/G, Texas Texas
    The Lions would have been extremely happy if they could have obtained either Kelvin Banks or Spencer Fano class at No. 17. The Lions considered moving up for Kadyn Proctor, but I have to imagine that they would have preferred Banks or Fano as a more realistic option. Charlie has Banks listed over Fano in his offensive tackle position review.

    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!

  2. Minnesota Vikings Minnesota Vikings: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Ohio State
    Everyone and their evil stepmother mocked Dillon Thieneman to the Vikings, but Thieneman just wasn’t good enough to be chosen at No. 18 overall. Caleb Downs would be – even in a combo mock draft with two separate draft classes.

  3. Carolina Panthers Carolina Panthers: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State Penn State
    Remember, Tetairoa McMillan is not on Carolina’s roster because of the rules of this combo mock. The Panthers had interest in Kenyon Sadiq, so it seems likely that owner Axe Tepper would select one of the 2025 tight ends to help his quarterback.

  4. Dallas Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia Georgia
    Before you point out that Mykel Williams did nothing as a rookie, remember that this combo mock draft doesn’t take rookie performances into account from the 2025 prospects. Williams is the best edge player available, and we know that Dallas was dead set on drafting a pass rusher.

  5. Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Tyler Booker, G/OT, Alabama Alabama
    The Steelers missed out on Makai Lemon, which was a blessing in disguise. They then drafted a tackle despite needing a guard more, which will force one of their incumbent tackles to move inside. Here, they just to get to draft one of the three great guard prospects from these two classes.

  6. Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: Rueben Bain, DE, Miami Miami
    Many mocked Akheem Mesidor to the Buccaneers, but they ended up with the better Miami edge rusher. In real life, the Chargers drafted Mesidor, but in this combo mock draft, they’re able to obtain the better Miami edge rusher.

  7. Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan Michigan
    The Eagles traded up three spots for Makai Lemon. It’s clear that they wanted a pass-catcher, but that could be a tight end in this scenario. With Dallas Goedert likely entering his final year in Philadelphia, the Eagles would likely be interested in Colston Loveland if he fell to them at No. 23.

  8. Cleveland Browns Cleveland Browns: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Utah
    The Browns made a brilliant trade, moving down from No. 6 to 9 in order to select Spencer Fano. They would have chosen Fano at No. 6 anyway, so netting third- and fifth-round picks was huge. Here, the Browns are able to get Fano at No. 24!

  9. Chicago Bears Chicago Bears: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Oregon
    If the Bears were willing to draft Colston Loveland in the opening half of the first round, I imagine that they’d be interested in Kenyon Sadiq at No. 25 in this combo mock draft.

  10. Buffalo Bills Buffalo Bills: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State Ohio State
    The Bills traded for D.J. Moore, but had interest in receivers ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. I have to believe that they would have drafted someone like Emeka Egbuka if he dropped to them.

  11. San Francisco 49ers San Francisco 49ers: Walter Nolen, DE/DT, Ole Miss Ole Miss
    John Lynch would probably draft the worst player available in this scenario. However, the 49ers were linked to Walter Nolen ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, so perhaps he would be the pick in this combo mock draft.

  12. Houston Texans NFL Draft 2026 Houston Texans: Grey Zabel, OT/G/C, North Dakota State North Dakota State
    I’d be surprised if the Texans didn’t have interest in Grey Zabel, who can play every position on the offensive line. He’d be a huge upgrade for Houston’s blocking unit.

  13. Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas Texas
    The Chiefs traded up for Mansoor Delane, so they obviously deemed cornerback to be a big weakness. They didn’t get Delane, but Jahdae Barron is a nice consolation prize.

  14. Miami Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama Alabama
    This is similar to Cleveland’s No. 24 pick. The Browns took Spencer Fano at No. 9 in real life and ended up with him at No. 24 in this combo mock. The Dolphins landed Kadyn Proctor at No. 12 in real life, so they’d obviously be happy securing him at No. 30.

  15. New England Patriots New England Patriots: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia Georgia
    The poor Patriots don’t have Will Campbell or Caleb Lomu in this scenario. You have to feel for Drake Maye! They have to draft the best tackle available.

  16. Seattle Seahawks NFL Draft 2026 Seattle Seahawks: Vega Ioane, G, Penn State Penn State
    No Grey Zabel for the Seahawks because he’s already off the board, but the Seahawks can still obtain an elite guard with the No. 32 pick.
