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 QB pick. But it's what happens after Mendoza that's going to be exciting 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 there’s a way to actually play those scenarios out yourself.
Build out your own draft using the mock draft simulator from our partners at Pro Football Network. Their simulator below lets you control every pick, explore different scenarios and see how the board could realistically fall. Whether you want to build a 2026 NFL Mock Draft for all 32 teams or just for your favorite team, go one round or all seven, it’s an easy way to step into the GM’s chair and see how things play out.

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!
