Greetings, Knowledge Seekers, and welcome to my first EVER Mock Draft! I hope I do a good job. I’ve been preparing my Golden Boner for this moment all offseason long.
We will be focusing on NFCW teams, even though half of our readers follow different Divisions. Get your own blog, you scumbags!
#3 Arizona Cardinals – Jeremiyah Love
Running Back, Notre Dame
The Cardinals need to draft and develop their first ever star QB, so of course they’ll blow it and reach for an overrated bust-in-progress like they always do. This is the type of pick that prevents you from winning a Championship for ~100 years or so. Everybody knows that Jadarian Price was the real weapon in that Notre Dame backfield, but the Cardinals are hoping to land the #1 overall pick every year from now on, and this is a big part of their plan. For SKA Cardinals fans, there’s nothing to Love about this pick. Hohohoho.
Pro Comps: Trent Richardson, Ki-Jana Carter, Lawrence Phillips
#13 Los Angeles Rams – Ty Simpson
Quarterback, Alabama
Likely to be the most hated football player named Simpson to ever set foot in Los Angeles. But McVay and Snead saw their so-called “MVP” get out-dueled by Sam Darnold TWICE last season on their way to another disappointing playoff exit, so we can’t blame them for being desperate.
Pro Comps: Sam Bradford, Akili Smith, Black Dilfer
#27 San Francisco 49ers – Trade Down
After countless First Round failures (Solomon Thomas, Reuben Foster, Mike McGlinchey, Javon Kinlaw, Trey Lance, Trey Lance, Trey Lance, Ricky Pearsall, etc.) John Lynch will have grown a little gun-shy, and will decide that the First Round isn’t really his “thing”. I predict that he will trade back – probably with the Dolphins and again with the Jets – so that his underwhelming selections in 2026 will appear less glaring in the annals of history. You’re not fooling anyone, Lynch!!
#32 Seattle Seahawks -Jadarian Price
HOF Running Back, Notre Dame
This will be a borderline miracle if it comes to fruition. My various draft boards have had Price going as high as #1 overall. But NFL GMs are not privy to my proprietary Knowledge algorithms, so he may slip to #2 or #3, or POSSIBLY all the way to Seattle at #32. It is entirely plausible that Price, along with last year’s Seahawks draft class, will be the first players in HISTORY to win the Super Bowl every single year of their career. That would be quite the accomplishment
Pro Comps: Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Russell Carrington HOFer Wilson
