What is a PFN Mock Draft Simulator?
A PFN mock draft simulator is an interactive tool inspired by Pro Football Network's comprehensive draft coverage. Unlike static mock drafts where you just read predictions, our simulator lets you control your favorite NFL team through the entire 2026 NFL Draft process.
The pfn draft simulator combines realistic AI drafting algorithms with team needs analysis, BPA (Best Player Available) rankings, and real-time player data from the Sleeper API. Every other team drafts intelligently, balancing their needs with value—just like real NFL general managers.

PFN Mock Draft Strategy Guide
To maximize your pfn mock draft simulator experience, follow these proven draft strategies:
Round 1: Best Player Available
Unless you're desperate for a QB, Round 1 is about elite talent regardless of position. The drop-off from the top 10 to picks 15-20 is massive.
- • Don't force a position need if elite players are available
- • QB, EDGE, and OT are the only positions worth reaching for
- • Avoid RB and S in Round 1 unless generational talents
Rounds 2-3: Address Needs
Middle rounds offer the best value for need picks. You can still find immediate starters while filling roster gaps.
- • Target your top 2 positional needs
- • Don't reach more than 15 picks for a need
- • WR and CB depth is strongest in Rounds 2-3
Common Draft Mistakes
Avoid these pitfalls that doom real NFL draft classes:
- • Drafting the same position 3 times in 4 picks
- • Reaching 20+ spots for a non-QB position
- • Ignoring offensive line when it's a glaring need
- • Drafting luxury positions (RB, S) when you have critical gaps
2026 NFL Draft Team Needs
Our PFN mock draft simulator uses realistic 2026 team needs based on current roster analysis:
QB-Desperate Teams
These teams MUST draft a QB in Round 1:
- • Colts: Anthony Richardson injury concerns
- • Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence struggles continue
- • Titans: Will Levis not the answer
- • Browns: Watson experiment over
- • Raiders: No long-term solution
EDGE Rush Priority
Pass rush is at a premium in 2026:
- • Rams: Aaron Donald retirement
- • Falcons: Need young pass rusher
- • Lions: Aging defensive line
- • 49ers: Nick Bosa help needed
Offensive Line Rebuilds
Protecting franchise QBs is critical:
- • Giants: Daniel Jones needs protection
- • Jets: O-line has been terrible
- • Patriots: Drake Maye needs help
- • Commanders: Jayden Daniels protection
Secondary Upgrades
CB is the second-highest priority position:
- • Chargers: CB1 desperate need
- • Vikings: Secondary aging
- • Texans: Need elite corner
- • Bills: Tre White replacement
