Timb2's NFL Mock Draft 3-3-26( Post Combine) No Trades, but with Videos and Reasons for Each Pick

[timb2]

1ST ROUND

1- Raiders- Fernando Mendoza QB Indiana


Reason- Raiders finally land a Franchise QB


2- Jets- Arvell Reese OLB Ohio State



Reason- Jets have many holes everywhere. Desperately need a QB,but settle for the explosive Reese at #2


3- Cardinals-Caleb Downs S Ohio State



Reason- Cardinals another team could be searching for new QB, but have to settle with Downs who paired with Budda Baker shortly will become the best Safety tandem in the league.


4- Titans-Caleb Lomu OT Utah


Reason- Titans gave up 55 sacks and if newly drafted Franchise QB Cam Ward from a year ago is to succeed, his blindeside needs to be protected. Looking at all the highly touted OTs. Unheralded Caleb Lomu had zero sacks at left tackle in 2025 and is athletic enough to stay a left tackle in the pros.Last note,Titans are a small market team ,so probably looking for a prospect they think they can lowball in negotiations not a highly touted name.

5- Giants-Francis Mauioga OT Miami


Reason- Giants whole right side of their O Line is unrestricted free agents because they were Hot Garbage,don't expect them back.. Giants upgrade with mauler Mauioga.

Continue next post.

Does Downs recent medical revelations effect this pic

6- Browns- David Bailey DE Texas Tech



Reason- Myle Garrett is a force with double digit sacks,but other bookend Alex Wright only could manage 5 1/2 sacks vs Garrett's 20 in 2025. Bring in FBS Sack Leader David Bailey paired with Garrett. This duo could give QBs nightmares.


7-Commanders-Sonny Styles MLB Ohio State



Reason- Commanders Bobby Wagner has had a great NFL Career,but not much left in the tank. Styles available at #7 could be too much to pass up for Dan Quinn.


8-Saints- Jeremyiah Love RB Notre Dame


Reason- Alvin Kamara is 30 years old which is ancient for a NFL RB. It is also showing in production. Kamara only rushed for 472 yards in 2025. Saints draft Love and Kamara becomes a cap casualty after the Draft.


9-Chiefs-Mansoor Delane CB LSU


Reason- Jaylen Watson is a free agent and Chiefs really need to upgrade at the CB position.


10-Bengals- Reubin Bain DE Miami


Reason- Bengals DEs besides Hendrickson are a bunch of jebrones. Bain to help solve this problem.

 

[timb2]

11- Dolphins-Jermod McCoy CB Tennessee


Reason- Dolphins secondary needs a #1 Shutdown Corner. Dolphins gamble McCoy is the same player after injury.


12- Cowboys- Gabe Jacas DE Illinois


Reason- Cowboys pass rush became anemic after the Micah Parsons trade. Bring in Jacas who had 11 sacks in the Big Ten last year.


13-Rams- Max Iheanachor OT Arizona State


Reason- Rams need studs on the o line besides just Steve Avila. IHEANACOR IS THE Total Package,Height,Speed,Strength.



14-Ravens-Carnell Tate WR Ohio State


Reason- Best Complete WR in this Draft. Ravens need help in the air.


15-Buccaneers- Malachai Lawrence OLB UCF


Reason-Buccaneers really need some.sack artist to shore up the defense. They look in state at UCF Star to fix this problem. Lawrence with his 4.53 speed off the edge.

I like your post because I love Jacas. I’m wondering how EDGE shakes out in this draft. A lot of them have big question marks.

12 is rich but I’d be fine with Jacas at 20. He’s that good. He has the size, length and speed you’re looking for. He did 30 reps on the bench.

I don’t think he’ll be a 15 sack guy, but he’ll be an 8-10 sack and good run defender.

16-Jets- Carson Beck QB Miami


Reason-Jets need a QB. Beck numbers do not lie and game expierence vs top college programs in big games. His size,strong arm. He is the pick over Ty Simpson.


17-Lions- Monroe Freeling OT Georgia


Reason- Lions LT Taylor Decker has battled a lot of injuries and might retire. Freeling could be a Day 1 Starter.


18-Vikings- Mike Washington RB Arkansas


Reason- Can you tell me off hand without looking who the Vikings starting RB is? That's why Washington who blew up the Combine with 4.33 speed at 223 lbs is the pick.



19-Panthers- Kenyon Sadiq TE Oregon


Reason- Physical Freak with 4.3 speed at TE. Panthers now have invested in the Air Game last several years Leggette & McMillen both 1st round picks at WR to go with now Sadiq.


20- Cowboys-Keldric Falk DE Auburn


Reason- Picking Back to Back Edge Rushers would totally throw. the rest if the NFL off. Truthfully we need two studs .Falk has ideal size 6'-6",276 lbs. 35 vertical and his arms are 34 3/4 in length

 

[timb2]

21-Steelers-Caleb Banks DT Florida


Reason- Steelers gamble on Banks. Banks when healthy is a Man amongst Boys. Stands 6'-6", 327 lbs,35 inch arms,10 3/4 hand size. Eventual replacement for Cam Heyward who is 36 years old.


22-Chargers- Jack Kelly ILB BYU


REASON- Denzel Perriman is a free agent and a mismatch in a 3-4 defense. Get a bigger LB. Kelly 6-2,238 runs a 4.53 forty.


23-Eagles- Spencer Fano OT Utah


Reason- Surprised Fano is still on the board. Fano is a very good athlete but needs to get stronger in the weightroom. Heir apparent to Lane Johnson's RT spot.


24-Browns-Kadyn Proctor OT Alabama


Reason- RT Jack Conklin stays hurt too much and now is a free agent. Proctor 6-7,355 is a mountain, but a good athlete.


25-Avieon Terrell CB Clemson


Reason- Nashon Wright starts at Corner for the Bears. Bring in a much better starter in Terrell.

 

[timb2]

26-Bills- KC Concepcion WR Texas A & M


Reason- Bills haven't had an electrifying player since Stephon Diggs left years ago at WR. Concepcion will change all that.


27-49ers- Makai Lemon WR USC

Reason- Brandon Aiyuck is not the same player after injury. Bring in Lemon too add a spark.


28-Texans- Blake Miller OT Clemson



Reason- Journeyman Trent Brown is listed as the RT and he is 33 years old. MILLER is a good athlete 6'-7",315 ,33 reps 5.04 forty



29-Rams-Rams- Chris Johnson CB San Diego State



Reason- Rams desperately need some srarting CBs.


30-Broncos- Dillon Thieneman S Oregon


Reason- Thienman can run 4.35 forty & 41 vertical. Better option at Safety than Hufanga who runs a 4.7.

 

[timb2]

31- Patriots- Anthony Hill OLB Texas


Reason- Good coverage LB,Chaisson is a free agent and Hill would be a better fit.

32-Seahawks- Dani Dennis- Sutton DE Penn State


Reason- Demarcus Lawrence finally got his SuperBowl and might call it a career. DENNIS- SUTTON good size 6-6,253 and speed 4.63 to become a good replacement.

Awful and unrealistic.

Im beginning to prefer Faulk @20

Tell me why then? Because it's not like everyone else's Mock Draft.

They aren't drafting those guys at 12 and 20. Your pick at 12 is not a 1st round player and your pick 20 doesn't look good at all. Jacas isn't even a top 50 player and you took him at 12.

Ok First 11 guys in my mock are gone just exactly in that order. So who's 12th pick for the Cowboys?

Dillon Thieneman.

 

[SMASHMOUTH9473]

Based off the previous 11 picks in this mock, I'd take Dillon Thieneman S Oregon at 12 (he wont make it to pick 20). If not trading down from pick 20 for additional picks (2nd/3rd this year, next years 1st) I'd take Anthony Hill OLB Texas

Both positions are areas of need. Both picks offer immediate position value (chess pieces).

Free agency acquisitions are needed for positions who normally take a year to develop....ie, DE, CB

Do not let that guy bother you.

Your draft is better than anything he has come up with

You and OP must know something the rest of the draftnicks don’t

Jacas is #57 (9th edge overall) on the consensus big board that takes the top 100 mocks and averages them out.

I also don’t think there’s any way Baine drops to ten.

Lol, he takes a guy that isn't in the top 50 at 12.

 

[Jfconrow]

I don’t know if I see two edge players. Recently they seam to draft one of each position not double up. I want a CB opposite Bland and a DE or 2, but it seams like they need some angle rather then just improve overall. I guess if they can get two staters it doesn’t really matter the position.

After Parsons they went power in the middle with DT, I almost wish they would continue the power theme. Go for more power rush then speed rush on the edge. Other than that secondary sounds like a good idea. I’d try to get an OL also, even though I’m a little fuzzy on what position on the OL they need, I supposed LT.
