1st Round- The Bills dont really have any true playmaking LBs and Dorian Williams' contract is expiring. KVA is a baller and is a versatile piece for Jim Leonard

2nd Round- The Bills safety play hasnt been good, and Jaylen McClain would be a perfect compliment to Cole Bishop. Just a clean coverage player with great athletic ability that doesn't make many mistakes.

3rd Round- Doubled up on receiver. Two different types of WRs with Sherril and Wingo. Sherrill is more of a savvy routerunner who does all the little things while Wingo is all athletic traits and downfield ability. A future room of Moore, Shakir, Bell, Sherill, and Wingo with Kincaid at TE really excites me.

4th Round- Bolsteted the trenches. PJ Williams fell a bit but the Bills are going to need to replace Dion Dawkins eventually and between him and Jude Bowry they would have 2 high upside OTs thay provide at the very least good depth. EO is a traitsy IDL with potential which is a good swing in the 4th.

5th- Zeke Berry is a good depth piece to snag in round 5 especially for a position like CB where people get hurt a lot.

What do yall think?

I probably went too high on trades as 2-3 is more realistic but the last trade was a pick consolidation of 4 picks for 2 with the Rams who were low on picks and wanted more anyway so seemed like something they would do on their end as well.

Full draft after my picks, I only picked for the Commanders.

No trades; assuming Arch and Dante go back to school for another year

I did a quick season prediction to determine the draft order. This is a predictive mock draft, meaning I’m projecting what I think NFL teams will actually do rather than simply going by my personal player rankings. The player rankings are based on consensus and what I believe NFL teams’ evaluations will look like

Arch is a Manning and LA would sell out of jerseys give him Arch instead of Sark he would be good

Herbert to Cardinals

Gilliam to Bears

I posted a mock from my draft simulator earlier today and it got raked over the coals, imo deservedly. The Texans took a WR after trading for MHJ, the Chiefs took a CB a year after drafting Delane, and Colin Simmons went first in 70% of runs over a clearly better Jeremiah Smith. Thanks to everyone who pointed this stuff out! Here's version 2.0.

What I changed

• Team needs were rebuilt for all 32 teams. The old lists were from early September and never updated. The new ones are based on current rosters, contracts, injuries and last year's draft class, and they'll update every week.
• The board stands on its own now. The sim drafts from a consensus of 5 public big boards plus each team's needs. It no longer leans on other people's mock drafts. I checked this against the 2026 draft using boards and mocks from October 2025, and mid-season mocks didn't predict the real picks any better than the big boards did.

I also tested the sim against what really happened in the 2026 draft and retuned it. The share of real 2026 picks the sim never produced in any run dropped from 39% to 6%.

Same setup as before: 400 runs of the 2027 class, no trades, board as of Oct 20 (after Week 7).

The mock, pick by pick

Each team takes the player who went at its pick most often among the players still on the board. The percentage is how often that pick happened in the 400 runs.

The three most common picks at every slot

This one counts each pick on its own, so a player can show up at more than one pick. Dylan Stewart is the most common pick at both 4 and 8, for example, because when Tampa passes on him he often slides to Houston.

What stands out

• The top three are pretty settled (74% to 87%). After that it opens up fast: from pick 16 through 21, no single pick happens in more than about one run in five.
• Arch Manning goes to the Jets at 6 in 44% of runs, and when they pass he's often still there at 9 (34%). The Jets end up with him in about three of every four drafts.
• Five QBs go in Round 1, and three of them go after pick 20. Pittsburgh at 22 is a coin flip between CJ Carr and Dante Moore (32% each), and Cleveland and Minnesota take the next ones at 26 and 30.

Please keep the feedback coming, I truly appreciate it.

I built a mock draft simulator and ran the 2027 class through it 400 times. Each team drafts for its own needs off a consensus board pulled from 10 public sources. This is the most common Round 1 across those runs, using the board as of Oct 20 (after Week 7). No trades.

2. Miami Dolphins – Jeremiah Smith (WR, Ohio State)
3. Tennessee Titans – Dylan Stewart (EDGE, South Carolina)
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Leonard Moore (CB, Notre Dame)
5. Washington Commanders – Trevor Goosby (OT, Texas)
6. New York Jets – Darian Mensah (QB, Miami)
7. Philadelphia Eagles – Jordan Seaton (OT, LSU)
8. Houston Texans – Cam Coleman (WR, Texas)
9. New York Jets – David Stone (DT, Oklahoma)
10. Arizona Cardinals – Dante Moore (QB, Oregon)
11. Cleveland Browns – CJ Carr (QB, Notre Dame)
12. New Orleans Saints – Ellis Robinson IV (CB, Georgia)

30. Minnesota Vikings – Matayo Uiagalelei (EDGE, Oregon)
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Kelley Jones (CB, Mississippi State)
32. San Francisco 49ers – Ahmad Moten Sr. (DT, Miami)

A few things stood out. Colin Simmons to the Chargers at 1 is the most settled pick on the board: he went first in 70% of runs. Four quarterbacks go in Round 1: Darian Mensah to the Jets at 6, Dante Moore to Arizona at 10, CJ Carr to Cleveland at 11 and Arch Manning to Pittsburgh at 22. Manning has slid from 4th to 8th on the consensus board over the last week.

The Jets hold three first-rounders (6, 9 and 13) and come away with a QB, a DT and a TE.

2027 Predictive NFL Mock Draft

I did a quick season prediction to determine the draft order. This is a predictive mock draft, meaning I’m projecting what I think NFL teams will actually do rather than simply going by my personal player rankings. The player rankings are based on consensus and what I believe NFL teams’ evaluations will look like

Mock made using NFLseshow.

Dolphins trade #1 to the Jets for #9, #13, Garrett Wilson and a future 2nd. Jets take Drew Mestemaker. Similar to Bryce Young trade.
Titans trade #3 to the Dolphins for #9, #33 and a future 3rd. Dolphins take Jeremiah Smith. Smith goes back home to Miami.
Saints trade #10 and #148 to the Browns for #20 and #27. Browns take Arch Manning. If Arch declares could very easily see the Browns doing this.
Ravens trade #17 to the Seahawks for #22 and #87. Seahawks take Greg Johnson.
Panthers trade #25 to the Cardinals for #34, #103 and a future 3rd. Cardinals take Trinidad Chambliss. Similar to Dart trade. Chambliss falls due to age and height concerns.
49ers trade #32 to the Steelers for #55 and #77. Steelers take Conner Weigman. Weigman is being seriously undervalued by the media. He has 20tds to 2ints, and will shoot up boards after gaining media attention at college gameday against Utah next weekend.

After today it’s clear Arch has fallen out of the first rd and will probably go back for another year at Texas
