# Brian Peacock: Peacock laid out his 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. **Claimed:** Mar 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Brian Peacock — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/brian-peacock **Outlet:** Locked On 49ers (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-49ers-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/f9f75c/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c/episodes/8c229733-2665-4349-ad9c-3b28f7f39f4c/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c&awEpisodeId=8c229733-2665-4349-ad9c-3b28f7f39f4c&feed=P83yLSb_ 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 bet. It names 35 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 18 of 24 have settled so far, averaging 71.7 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > 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. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Riley Nowakowski to be picked “the seventh round range” (picks 217–257)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Riley Nowakowski, San Francisco 49ers -
