NFL Mock Draft 2026: Trolling Picks Your Team’s Front Office Is Actually Dumb Enough to Make
In what backward universe is Fernando Mendoza a Cincinnati Bengal on Night 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft? This one.

Slide on through to see how.
1. Las Vegas Raiders
EDGE Anthony Lucas, USC Trojans

In a move that makes fans scream all the way from Oak-town to the LA Coliseum, Vegas rolls the dice by passing on Fernando Mendoza. Instead, they try to appease their former California followers by taking former USC EDGE Anthony Lucas. The blood and guts of the Raiders D the past few years, Maxx Crosby, immediately is listed with a broken heart to go along with his busted knee.
2. New York Jets
RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Even though Mendoza slips to No. 2, Woody Johnson insists Geno Smith can find the magic he once found when shipped from New York the first time. The Jets pass on the reigning Heisman winner and grab Jeremiyah Love. Breece Hall asks whether his franchise tag somehow says "XM" (extra medium).
3. Arizona Cardinals
WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State Sun Devils

Desperately trying to appease a fan base wondering if Utah has its eyes open to snatch the Cardinals like they did the NHL's Coyotes, GM Monti Ossenfort thinks homegrown talent is the answer. Even though they don't really have a pivot to throw the ball (sorry, Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett), Jordyn Tyson, out of Arizona State, goes third. The No. 4 overall pick two years ago, Marvin Harrison Jr., is ecstatic that the Cards picked someone higher than him to take over this whole WR bust thing.
4. Tennessee Titans
CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee Volunteers

Coming into the draft with Music City Miracle vibes, Nashville faithful get “strunk” by a twangy guitar to the back, rivaling any Memphis wrestling angle ever attempted. Even though they are set in the secondary, and GM Mike Borgonzi is supposed to be solely calling the shots as of January, ownership starts meddling once again. Top boss, Amy Adams Strunk, calls for former Tennessee Volunteer Jermod McCoy to come off the board. Granted, McCoy is one of the top-ranked corners available, but the Titans need weapons for Cam Ward. Forget about “One Yard Short”, a move like this sets them back at least another year in a tougher and tougher AFC South.
5. New York Giants
QB Ty Simpson, Alabama Crimson Tide

By the beard of Eli Manning’s ghost, the G-Men don’t see Jaxson Dart as the QB of the future and draft Ferna…no, Ty Simpson.
6. Cleveland Browns
Browns Trade the No. 6

With more holes to fill than the S.S. Canadiana sinking on the Cuyahoga in ‘82 (yes, this really happened), Andrew Berry commits to trading down from six. Unfortunately, as the countdown clock is clicking, a rattled Berry calls the nearest CFL team - the Toronto Argonauts. The good news is he gets almost a week to ponder, since the Canadian Football League Draft is on April 28. The bad news is that the trade pick capital is tariffed, and Cleveland only comes away with a Molson Excel tap for Huntington Bank Field.

Along with the No. 6 pick, Myles Garrett finds his new home, playing in Toronto.
7. Washington Commanders
RB Jadarian Price, Notre Dame Fighting Irish

I’m torn between a politics or Commanders' futility gag here. Can the team draft a stadium/nickname protection injunction here? Or, could they make a Heath Shuler (1994, #3), Dwayne Haskins (2019, #15) extinction-level grab? If they don’t pick a top wideout to help out franchise QB, Jayden Daniels, the Commanders could be stuck with a Shuler-Haskins level dude slinging it in the Nation’s Capital soon enough.

Stuck in a tough spot, depending on what happens ahead of them, a gaffe could very well strike. With many fans and experts hoping they don’t settle for a certain former Fighting Irish RB here, taking his Notre Dame backup, Jadarian Price, is the monumental troll middle finger to the fans.
8. New Orleans Saints
QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers

One year after “Shough” ing and jiving Who Dat nation with a reach on Tyler Shough, fans are slapped with another Mardi Gras level hangover. With Mendoza and Simpson off the board, the Saints stay local to grab Garrett Nussmeier. The former Tiger was solid last season, but an abdominal injury slowed and then cut short his final year at LSU. New Orleans needs just about everything, and gobbling up some “Garrett-grub” here would unleash some serious Voodoo. Maybe even enough to wake the ghost of the city's best French bread sandwich place of all time. Rest in peace, Gene's Po-Boys (Born 1968-Closed August 4, 2019)
9. Kansas City Chiefs
TE Joe Royer, Cincinnati Bearcats

In an effort to clone Travis Kelce without AI following his one-year extension, the Chiefs take a stab at TE Joe Royer out of Kelce’s alma mater, Cincinnati. Even though Royer is ranked 10-12th on most tight end power polls, Taylor Swift immediately falls for him. She pulls a reverse, Joe Jonas. Instead of the 27-second breakup phone call, Swift reportedly took from said Jonas bro in 2008, Taylor WhatsApp’s Kelce for 97 seconds, albeit via video, to end the engagement. Royer doesn’t pan out, but immediately joins Taylor’s tour. Kelce wants his No. 97 back in KC for 2027, but Brittany and Patrick Mahomes choose Taylor. With little fanfare, Travis plays his final season with the Chiefs' long-time rival, the Raiders, who have moved back to Oakland.
10. Cincinnati Bengals
QB Fernando Mendoza, Indiana Hoosiers

Bengals brass isn’t too sure if Joe Burrow is still having fun, and isn’t sure if he knows what he is doing it for. They grab Fernando Mendoza after a Bo Callahan-like slip. Joe Cool becomes Joe Confused real quick. To find answers, Burrow hits a Darkness Retreat with Aaron Rodgers, finds his inner anger, leaves A-Rod early, and demands a trade to Pittsburgh for Week 1.

Brett Favre and Jordan Love nod in unison.
