The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast

What if every player in college football was available to be drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft? That’s the question Joel Klatt tackles as he adds in college football’s best players who are not part of this Draft Class for consideration. Would Tom Brady and the Raiders still take Fernando Mendoza or would the appeal of Arch Manning be too tough to pass up? How high would Ohio State’s superstar Wide Receiver Jeremiah Smith go? In this Mock Draft, the New York Jets and New York Giants both add potential superstars to their Offenses and the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks find their replacement for Kenneth Walker with one of the top underclassmen Running Backs in the country.
