2026 NFL MOCK DRAFT - 8/29/25

 Still grinding tape , and I am ahead on these guys compared to last year.  Although I still have tons of work to do on this class. With the exception of a few players who I jumped the gun on because I expected them to enter the 2025 draft, but who instead opted to stay in school , I have only broken down the film of one game on the overwhelming majority of these guys. So while I have watched all of these players actually play more than once  , that is not the same as breaking down the film on them, and I have only currently broken down the film on one game for 172 players.  There are also 65 more players that I have done 3 games games on , and another 34 guys that I have now broken down 7 games. Throw in the guys who are draft eligible sophomores that I don't expect to even contemplate going Pro so early, or that haven't played much yet so they aren't on my radar right now, and you get the picture. Then chime in with the fact we have little idea what teams will need at that time because of injuries, free agency, retirements , the cap, suspensions , and who knows what else could happen ? Plus the transfer portal & NIL money has drastically changed the face of college football. Every year when I post this I look back at last years early mock, and you can see how little we know this far out, because it's a near miracle if someone even gets half of the 1rst rounders right. So many guys disappoint, go back to school, get injuries, get in trouble , and others come out of the woodwork.  So you can see what a crapshoot it really is at this time. I am making a even harder prediction to guess the draft order. Don't lose your minds if your team is picking high , because it's a long time away , and this is even bigger guess than the actual players. The picks are all mine, and so is the order if you want to be mad at someone. I expect a QB to go #1  , and I expect the Saints to have the first pick.  I put Arch Manning in here at #1 because I believe that's where he will go if he enters the draft , but I think there is only about a 30% chance that he enters the 2026 draft. The reason is that his uncles Peyton & Eli were 4 year starters in college , and Arch will only be a one year starter after the 2025 season ends. Also a lot of trades will probably happen , but I don't put trades in mocks until it's draft season again. Without further ado here it is. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently & respectfully or I just won't post it. so here it is. Enjoy.
