Peacock laid out their two-round 2026 mock draft (pick-by-pick through the top 11 plus the 49ers' selections) and then extrapolated it to seven rounds for San Francisco, including a projected Trent Williams trade to Houston and a series of Day 2/Day 3 49ers picks.

What Brian Peacock said

I wouldn't be shocked at all if after the first round, the forty niners draft an offensive tackle, kinda kinda like the McGlinchey thing, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, guess what? The Houston Texans have traded for Trent Williams.

How each call scored

24 checkable claims — 21 mock draft picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 35 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

18 of 24 have settled so far, averaging 76 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
