- Prisco notes that Mock 2.0 includes more offensive tackles in the first round than his previous mock, reflecting his belief that big linemen are scarce.
- Fernando Mendoza is projected as the #1 overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, despite the article stating he isn’t the best quarterback in the class.
- Arvell Reese is projected as the #2 pick by the New York Jets, with the mock emphasizing tape over pro day workouts.
- Monroe Freeling is projected as the #6 pick by Cleveland, a left tackle the Browns need for the long run.
- Kadyn Proctor is projected as the #27 pick by the San Francisco 49ers, a 6'7", 352‑lb offensive tackle expected to learn from Trent Williams.
- Ty Simpson is projected as the #24 pick by Cleveland, a quarterback from Alabama added to a weak quarterback room under new coach Todd Monken.
- The mock lists 30 first‑round selections, each with a projected team and positional ranking, and the author says the mocks will be “useless again” after the actual draft.
Why it matters: The mock’s heavy focus on offensive tackles signals that teams view elite big linemen as a limited resource, prompting early‑round investments that could reshape roster construction, alter draft strategies, and raise fan expectations for the 2026 draft and influence the market for college linemen.
