Real context. A fictional career.
The game uses the names of the 32 professional teams and a small set of background players. Your prospect, seasons, injuries, contracts, awards and team outcomes are simulated. Scouting grades and team strength are our editorial game model, not official ratings or current predictions.
Roster data and attribution
Background names are adapted from nflverse’s 2026 roster dataset, provided by nflverse contributors under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. We select a small subset and add our own game tiers.

Mock Draft projections and scouting
The 2027 NFL Mock Draft Simulator uses a dated canonical Big Board, projected pick order and ownership, and sourced team needs. Each draft freezes its snapshot. Projected entrants, conditional ownership and model role estimates are labeled; these are not official NFL results. Rank-derived internal talent estimates are game calculations, not grades supplied by the source. Missing scouting detail does not make a player riskier. Draft reviews do not simulate future careers.
