by Zak Drapeau Sportz Nation - 2/11/2026 The NFL Combine is one of the biggest NFL Offseason events of the year and it starts tomorrow. A total of 319 college football prospects are heading to Lucas Oil Stadium for the combine as one of the last showcases ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft on April 23-25. Breaking the schedule of prospects into 4 different days based on positions, here's how the schedule for the Combine will go. Thursday: D-Lineman, Linebackers and Kickers Friday: S

by Zak Drapeau 1/6/2026 Sportz Nation Graphic by NFL 1. Fernando Mendoza QB Las Vegas Raiders Mendoza is a good Quarterback but maybe not to the level of #1 Quarterbacks in the past. Still this is the pick, with the Raiders needing a Quarterback and this class being the worst for QBs since 2022, this is a no-doubter. 2. Arvell Reese LB New York Jets Reese isn't my #1 prospect this year but he does have the best potential in his class. A freak athlete with all of the physical

by Zak Drapeau Sportz Nation - 1/31/2026 Risers Quarterbacks Garrett Nussmeier LSU Photo by Butch Dill/ Associated Press Nussmeier was one of the top QBs of the class heading into the season but has since moved down to about a 2nd round prospect after a mediocre and injured 2025 season. Coming into the Senior Bowl, Nussmeier needed to show veteran-like leadership on the field and all-around leadership on the field and that's exactly what he did. Nussmeier was clearly the best

Ohio State Strengths: - Great Special Teams Returner - High Production at both Ohio State and Alabama - Great processing speed when in deep and medium zone coverage.

by Zak Drapeau 1/7/2026 Sportz Nation Note From Author: I will be drafting based on all ORIGINAL Picks. Meaning the Browns are back at number 2 with the trade between the Jaguars and them never occurring. I am also taking in account for future potential and not redrafting SOLELY on 2025 performance, although their 2025 season will be heavily impactful toward this exercise. This is NOT my picks for Rookie of the Year odds nor my opinion of who had the best rookie seasons, rath

by Zak Drapeau 1/6/2025 Sportz Nation Photo by Adam Hunger/ Getty Images 1. Fernando Mendoza QB 6'5" 225 lbs. Indiana Las Vegas Raiders With Pete Carroll being fired yesterday after one, terrible year on the job, the Raiders will be entering the offseason ready for a fresh start, and with valuable pieces to start with. The bigger question we should be asking is if the Raiders should trade away their pick or take one of the top QBs. I believe they should look for a trade d

by Zak Drapeau 10/12/2025 Sportz Nation Graphic by NFL Welcome To My First NFL Mock Draft of the 2025-26 Season. I will keep this header brief but I want to give a few notes about this exercise and about the class as a whole: Draft Class Notes 1. This draft class is not very good especially in the top end. 2. This Quarterback class is not good compared to years prior. With no one running away with a QB1 ranking, watch for the first non-QB #1 selection since Travon Walker in

by Zak Drapeau 8/7/2025 FansOnlySportz Bruce Feldman's Freak List is an annual holiday around the beginning of August and one of the first steps in preparing for Draft Season. Making things a bit more interesting is the crowning of a new #1 on the list after South Carolina's Nyck Harbor reigned atop for the past two seasons. The #1 on the list is also the best player in all of college football so his crowning isn't all that surprising but it is monumentally important. The Fr
