Daniel Jeremiah· Jan 27, 2026

Jeremiah unveiled his first mock draft of the cycle, projecting all 32 first-round picks, led by Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 to the Raiders, Arnold Reese to the Jets at No. 2, and offensive linemen Spencer Fano and Francis Malioa going back-to-back to Arizona and Tennessee.

“Fantom Mendoza goes one.”

The page this came from has changed since we captured it on Aug 5, 2026. The quote and evidence above are from our capture, not from what the page says today.

32 checkable claims — 31 mock draft picks and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 54 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 32 have settled, averaging 68.7 out of 100, against 48.8 for a naive guess at the same calls.
