  • 2026 Post-Combine Super Mock Draft (1,000 Simulations) | Consensus Board + Probability Picks

    Let’s talk ball. Today we’re building a Post-Combine 2026 Round 1 Mock Draft the hard way — 1,000 simulations powered by my DES-ABM (Discrete Event Simulation + Agent-Based Model).

    This isn’t “one guy’s mock.” This is a probability-driven consensus board built from what the mock draft ecosystem is actually projecting right now, then stress-tested through pick-by-pick draft dynamics. The chart shows the probability each player lands at each pick after 1,000 simulated drafts. If a player is 39% at Pick 8, that means he landed there in 390 of 1,000 sims.

    2-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft based on Post-Championship Weekend results and the updated draft order.

    Raiders lock in Fernando Mendoza at No. 1, the Jets go BPA with Caleb Downs at No. 2, the Giants buck the trend and protect Jaxson Dart with Spencer Fano, and the Bears land a steal with Peter Woods falling to 25. Plus the Cowboys miss out on Sonny Styles as the Bengals snag him at 10.

  • Dante Moore STAYS in School: What It Means for the 2026 NFL Draft + 2027 QB Class

    In this live episode, I’m joined by Damian Parson (DP) (Locked On NFL Draft, The Scouting Room) to break down Dante Moore’s decision and the ripple effect it creates across the 2026 NFL Draft class. We’ll talk where this QB group stands now, why the 2027 quarterback class looks even more ridiculous with Moore staying in school, and what NFL teams should do with their draft plans this year because of it. Then we’ll jump into a live mock draft and talk through team needs, fits, and how the latest head coaching changes could reshape Round 1.

  • 2026 NFL 2-Round Mock Draft | Raiders Take Mendoza #1, Jets Land Dante Moore, Jeremiyah Love Top-3

    In this 2026 NFL 2-round mock draft, I’m drafting for the 18 non-playoff teams and any extra picks they own using the PFF simulator. The Las Vegas Raiders lock in Fernando Mendoza (QB, Indiana) at No. 1, the New York Jets grab Dante Moore (QB, Oregon) at No. 2, and the Arizona Cardinals shock everyone by taking Jeremiyah Love (HB, Notre Dame) at No. 3.

    At the end of the show I react to your comments from the last mock and talk through where I might have been right, wrong, or just flat-out spicy.

  • 2026 NFL Draft Stock Up/Stock Down: Bain Jr. Up, Ty Simpson Down | Chambliss QB2?

    College Football Playoff weekend shook up the early 2026 NFL Draft picture. In this episode, I’m running Stock Up / Stock Down on the biggest movers from the games — including Reuben Bain Jr. showing up on the biggest stage, Ty Simpson’s rough outing, and why Trinidad Chambliss might be QB2 in a class that’s still searching for answers behind Fernando Mendoza.

    We also talk Carnell Tate’s evaluation, Caleb Downs’ impact, what to do with Arvell Reese + Sonny Styles after a quiet showing, and defensive risers like David Bailey and Lee Hunter who flat-out changed the board with their tape.
    Tap in, drop your takes in the comments, and I’ll hit your questions in the next show.
