The 2026 NFL Draft has the potential to be one of the most fascinating in recent memory. Sure, once Fernando Mendoza goes off the board with the No. 1 pick to the Las Vegas Raiders, we'll have to wait quite a bit before the next quarterback comes off the board. But it's what happens after Mendoza that's going to be fascinating to see. Where would you have RB Jeremiyah Love landing? What do you have the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys doing with two first-round picks each? Now you can show everyone with a new free NFL Mock Draft simulator — including trades!
Whether you want to build a 2026 NFL Mock Draft for all 32 teams or just for your favorite team, whether you want to go one round or all seven, the mock simulator has you covered with a variety of options to move through the draft. And with two separate big boards to utilize, that gives you even more information with which to construct your mock draft.

In all honesty, getting the consensus big board as part of this mock draft simulator might be the most valuable asset that we have. Yes, it's great to find one draft expert and use their player evaluations and big board as a guideline for building your mock draft. At the same time, having a board that bakes in multiple experts to give you the industry consensus is truly invaluable insight.
Furthermore, the flexibility to be able to draft for as many teams as you like is also wildly cool. One team's mock draft — sounds good! Drafting for three teams with a friend — even better! Making every selection for the NFL's 32 teams — you can do that too!
