Cody Carpentier’s 2026 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
The College Football season is complete. We just got home from the 15th annual trip to Mobile for the Panini Senior Bowl, and I’ve got a few takes in my back pocket. So we’re back to bring you the third iteration of my 2026 NFL Mock Draft Series. This is mock draft series that starts at 1.0 and adds rounds with each number (the only way to do it), All the way through Mock 7.0, coming April 20th with 7 full rounds, before the 2026 NFL Draft, Live from Pittsburgh. Picks will change, it’s inevitable, and hopefully a few Teams will trade between now and April. Enjoy the ride!
The NFL has become a year-round league, from the season, free agency, the draft, and offseason OTAs to fall camp, the league never sleeps, and neither do we at RosterWatch. Alex and I finished in the middle of the pack in 2024 for the Huddle Report competition. So it’s back to the drawing boards and time to begin research on the 2026 class, not only to improve our mock draft skills but also to enhance our Dynasty Fantasy Football overview.
