Projecting the first rounds in the 2026 and 2027 NFL Draft

Things are going to get crazy, and I have to be honest, I am excited for this one. It occurred to me that I had never seen a two-round mock draft where one round is the first round of one class and the second round is that of another. So we did just that.

This will be a first-round mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft, and from those picks, we will use that to decide who the teams select with their first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. This will have an analysis of one player from each team's class, and they will be organized by division. Also, the order for 2027 will be decided based upon Super Bowl odds as they stood on April 4 when the selections were made.

With that stage set, enjoy this unique exercise of ours. AFC North Baltimore Ravens 2026 First-Round Pick: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon 2027 First-Round Pick (Projected 29th Overall): Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss Player Profile: Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss Lacy was one of the more electric players in the entirety of college football in 2025. He was a pivotal part of the Ole Miss offense and was a big reason they had the season they had when Trinidad Chambliss stepped up due to injury as the starter.

He can find running lanes, catch passes, and most importantly, he finishes runs the way the Ravens like with Derrick Henry at the moment. Cincinnati Bengals 2026 First-Round Pick: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon 2027 First-Round Pick (Projected 16th Overall): A’mauri Washington, DL, Oregon Player Profile: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon The Bengals defense thrived when they had the likes of Jessie Bates patrolling the back end of their defense. When he left in free agency, they attempted to replace him, but they missed on that front.
