AI Armchair GM: Copilot’s 2026 NFL Mock Draft Flirts with Accuracy, Then Misfires

TL;DR Summary
USA TODAY Sports tested Microsoft Copilot on a 2026 NFL first-round mock draft. The AI initially produced an incorrect order and even invented players, but after re-prompts it delivered a draft with the official order and players eligible for 2026. Despite some odd picks (such as a late‑round QB to the Patriots), the exercise shows AI won’t soon replace human mock drafters.
