Jaime Eisner· Apr 6, 2026
In a "What I Would Do" 2026 NFL mock draft, Eisner assigns first-round selections for all 32 picks plus several early second-round picks, starting with Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1.
“If I were each of the 32 general managers, how would I attack the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft?”

43 checkable claims — 37 mock draft picks and 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
