2026 Rookie Mock Draft 4.0 (1 Week Update)

April 16, 2026

My annual 1-week final mock draft! With this mock, I’m going a little more in depth with a quick team overview (league ranking at each position based on re-draft/2026 rankings) and commentary/comps for each 1st round pick and every owner’s 1st pick in the draft. Enjoy.

Pick TM Po. MOCK 1 Week EDP PREV
1.1 Aaron RB Jeremiyah Love 4 4
QB: 12th – RB: 9th – WR: 12th – TE: 11th
The consensus 1.01 Dynasty Pick. It isn’t the biggest need for Aaron but adding a Bijan caliber asset is a solid foundation. Comps: Bijan Robinson/Breece Hall
1.2 Joey QB Fernando Mendoza 1 1
QB: 11th – RB: 3rd – WR: 4th – TE: 11th
Joey adds the presumable 1st overall pick to his 11th ranked QB room. Mendy has a solid floor and the 1st overall pick safety net. Comps: Matt Ryan/Davis Mills
1.3 Dustin WR Carnell Tate 7 8
QB: 1st – RB: 12th – WR: 8th – TE: 5th
RB is the biggest need here, but Tate seems to be a Top 10 lock (possibly Top 5). I wish he had the OSU elite profile, but he’ll get every chance to succeed. Comps: Damian Williams/Tai Streets.
1.4 Tee QB Ty Simpson 33 31
QB: 10th – RB: 1st – WR: 7th – TE: 9th
The first big SHOCKER! I believe Ty will go a lot higher than expected in the NFL Draft (similar to Bo Nix). Tee has a QB need, he loves drafting rookie QBs, and Ty is intriguing with his sneaky rushing upside. Comps: Andy Dalton/Matt Corral
1.5 Nick WR Makai Lemon 12 13
QB: 2nd – RB: 8th – WR: 6th – TE: 4th
Makai is the ‘safest’ pick here and I bet on safe. Pending landing spot, I think he’s a nice replacement for Evans next year and will fit in nicely with Londo and LB3. Comps: Khalil Shakir/Nelson Agholor
1.6 Aaron WR Jordyn Tyson 15 14
QB: 12th – RB: 9th – WR: 12th – TE: 11th
I’m sticking with Tyson here; Aaron needs help everywhere! Great profile but injury and drop concerns. Comps: Justin Blackmon/Robert Ferguson
1.7 Isaac WR Omar Cooper Jr. 22 24
QB: 7th – RB: 10th – WR: 11th – TE: 2nd
Isaac could go RB here, but he needs WR more and I think he avoids another Kaleb-Type situation with a 1st round solid profile WR. Comps: Rashee Rice/Jalen McMillan
1.8 Dave RB Jadarian Price 44 44
QB: 4th – RB: 5th – WR: 2nd – TE: 1st
Price seems to be the betting favorite as RB2 and if he lands in a nice spot day 2, I think this pick makes too much sense for Dave. Comps: Zach Evans/Bilal Powell
1.9 Josh WR KC Concepcion 26 32
QB: 9th – RB: 6th – WR: 1st – TE: 3rd
Not a need at all for the defending Champ, but BPA all the way! Unless a QB3 goes early 2nd round, Josh takes another Kevin. Comps: Amon-Ra St. Brown/Robert Woods
1.10 Aaron TE Kenyon Sadiq 17 17
QB: 12th – RB: 9th – WR: 12th – TE: 11th
Sadiq Da Freak! Seems too low but we need mandatory TE to pass for this to happen. Aaron adding Top 10 guys everywhere he can. Comps: David Njoku/Evan Engram
1.11 Tee WR Denzel Boston 28 29
QB: 10th – RB: 1st – WR: 7th – TE: 9th
I’m not sure if Tee is a Boston guy but 1st round pedigree and an interesting profile. Seems to be the end of the somewhat kind of for sure top talent. #TheDrop Comps: Eric Decker/Hayden Higgins
1.12 Issac RB Mike Washington Jr. 66 64
QB: 7th – RB: 10th – WR: 11th – TE: 2nd
I know it, you know it. Isaac is taking a RB somewhere in the first round, especially if we somehow get 2 or 3 of them on Day 2 of the draft. Comps: Andre Brown/Isaac Guerendo
2.1 Nick TE Eli Stowers 52 55
2.2 Nick RB Jonah Coleman 93 91
2.3 Aaron WR Chris Brazzell II 50 50
2.4 Craig RB Emmett Johnson 109 104
QB: 3rd – RB: 11th – WR: 10th – TE: 6th
Craig is needing both RB and WR pretty badly, and Emmett might be a 3rd round pick that lands in a great spot (Mmmmmrrhhmmmm). Comps: Jerome Harrison/Johnathan Franklin
2.5 Tee RB Nicholas Singleton 141 128
2.6 Aaron WR Chris Bell 53 51
2.7 Joey TE Max Klare 71 73
2.8 Dalton WR Germie Bernard 57 56
QB: 6th – RB: 2nd – WR: 9th – TE: 12th
Dalton could go TE here if Klare is available. Delp could be an option as well, but his WR room is getting too messy especially with the AJB unknown. Comps: Victor Cruz/Juwann Winfree
2.9 Josh QB Garrett Nussmeier 81 85
2.10 Nick WR Zachariah Branch 62 70
2.11 Dave RB Kaytron Allen 137 150
2.12 Craig WR Malachi Fields 72 67
3.1 Isaac WR Elijah Sarratt 76 75
3.2 Joey QB Drew Allar 98 115
3.3 Nick TE Oscar Delp 84
3.4 Dustin RB Demond Claiborne 159 136
3.5 Craig QB Carson Beck 124 117
3.6 Tee WR Ted Hurst 79 82
3.7 Dustin WR Antonio Williams 77 69
3.8 Josh WR Bryce Lance 92 87
3.9 Isaac QB Cole Payton 128
3.10 Evan WR Skyler Bell 82 81
QB: 5th – RB: 7nd – WR: 5th – TE: 8th
Evan doesn’t get Kevin but adding an early 3rd/possibly 2nd round WR isn’t too bad at 3.10. RB isn’t out of the question here. Comps: Jonathan Mingo/Quincy Enunwa
3.11 Dustin WR Deion Burks 103 93
3.12 Dave QB Taylen Green 149 149
NP Garret TE Sam Roush 106
QB: 8th – RB: 4th – WR: 3rd – TE: 7th
Garret doesn’t have a pick in the first 3 rounds so I’d expect him to add one of these fun later round QBs or TEs. Comps: Jason Witten/Billy Bajema
