Kyle Crabbs· Apr 28, 2025

In a way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft, Crabbs projects all 32 first-round picks, starting with LaNorris Sellers to the Browns at No. 1 and Drew Allar to the Saints at No. 2.

If the Browns finish with the top spot after spending two mid-round picks and acquiring Kenny Pickett this offseason, look for them to go for a toolsy quarterback.

32 checkable claims — 32 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 63 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 32 have settled, averaging 32 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
