7-ROUND PREDICTIVE MOCK DRAFT 2026

Process

How can a 7-round mock be predictive? While I'm sure most of these picks won't actually come to fruition, I by no means took the "next man up" approach. For day three, you can throw consensus out the window, especially in rounds 5-7. Top 30 visits, scheme fits, and depth/roles each team may need filled matter so much more than what may make the most sense to the average mock drafter.

Below is the 7-rounder. You can see all trades that occurred at the bottom.

There it is, folks. If you want a team summary, well, ctrl-f and scroll my friend. There are many picks where even I would suggest that it doesn't seem likely, but strange things happen every year. I used my ears more than my analytical cap for the earlier picks. Will Zion Young go pick 15? I certainly wouldn't take him that early, but there are whispers worth noting.

In nothing else, hopefully you enjoyed the 30-seconds it took to scan your team's picks. If you're a draft fanatic and don't recognize a name, that player likely came straight from a top 30 visit list and are worth the search.

Below are all 16 trades that occurred during this draft. I didn't trade players, even though it's rather likely several players such as Devon Achane, Dexter Lawrence, and AJ Brown may find new homes. I only made pick trades, coming out to an average of one per team.
