It's that time of year when mock drafts are everywhere. The 2026 NFL draft is just over two weeks from now and every prognosticator has a mock draft out. But every mock draft carries some level inherent bias, often for your favorite team or players.
This is where AI comes in. They have no bias, no emotion and nothing but the data. So we asked Gemini, Google's own AI to put together a one-round mock draft using only the current order. No trades. And here is what they put together. The results are surprisingly solid and nothing jumps out to us as so far off base as to be laughable.
1 Las Vegas Raiders Fernando Mendoza QB Indiana
2 New York Jets Arvell Reese EDGE Ohio State
3 Arizona Cardinals David Bailey EDGE Texas Tech
4 Tennessee Titans Jeremiyah Love RB Notre Dame
5 New York Giants Sonny Styles LB Ohio State
6 Cleveland Browns Carnell Tate WR Ohio State
7 Washington Commanders Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE Miami
8 New Orleans Saints Mansoor Delane CB LSU
9 Kansas City Chiefs Francis Mauigoa OT Miami
10 Cincinnati Bengals Caleb Downs S Ohio State
11 Miami Dolphins Spencer Fano OT Utah
12 Dallas Cowboys Dillon Thieneman S Oregon
13 L.A. Rams (via ATL) Kenyon Sadiq TE Oregon
14 Baltimore Ravens Olaivavega Ioane IOL Penn State
15 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Keldric Faulk EDGE Auburn
16 N.Y. Jets (via IND) Makai Lemon WR USC
17 Detroit Lions Blake Miller OT Clemson
18 Minnesota Vikings Omar Cooper Jr. WR Indiana
19 Carolina Panthers Jermod McCoy CB Tennessee
20 Dallas Cowboys (via GB) Monroe Freeling OT Georgia
21 Pittsburgh Steelers Jordyn Tyson WR Arizona State
22 L.A. Chargers Kadyn Proctor OT Alabama
23 Philadelphia Eagles Akheem Mesidor EDGE Miami
24 Cleveland Browns (via JAX) T.J. Parker EDGE Clemson
25 Chicago Bears Emmanuel McNeil-Warren S Toledo
26 Buffalo Bills Caleb Lomu OT Utah
27 San Francisco 49ers Denzel Boston WR Washington
28 Houston Texans Cashius Howell EDGE Texas A&M
29 Kansas City Chiefs (via LAR) K.C. Concepcion WR Texas A&M
30 Miami Dolphins (via DEN) CJ Allen LB Georgia
31 New England Patriots Colton Hood CB Tennessee
