KC sports reporter’s NFL mock draft ranked most accurate out of 1,527 surveyed
The NFL Draft wrapped up Saturday, but that doesn’t mean the mock drafts have stopped.
CBS Sports, Fox Sports and Bleacher Report are among the sites that have already released a 2026 mock draft. It’s always mock draft season.
A week ago, NFL fans had no shortage of mock drafts they could consult ahead of the draft. In fact, it may surprise you to hear there were more than 1,500 NFL mock drafts before Cam Ward was selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans.
That’s according to Denny Jovic, who founded the NFL Mock Draft Database website.
Here is a description from Jovic’s website: “NFL Mock Draft Database is the number one source for all things mock drafts, big boards and more. I’m dedicated to giving you the very best experience, with a focus on providing the largest and most comprehensive mock draft database around.”
Jovic ranked the accuracy of the 1,527 mock drafts that were released ahead of the draft. No. 1 on the list was put together by Nick Jacobs of KSHB-TV (Ch. 41).
Among the national experts that Jacobs beat out were ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., NFL.com’s Mike Band (No. 3 on the list), CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson (No. 15) and Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer (No. 21).
