Ok, but this would also be the best power. Imagine being able to make one of those incredibly awful but healthy kale drinks and make it taste like a latte, or Jamba Juice.

Basically any uber healthy but utterly disgusting food now tastes like its much more delicious counterpart.

When she just started singing out of nowhere, I absolutely lost it 🤣

Caleb Downs apparently has a mane like Mufasa does.

Ok, MIN....

She's a big smiles person, clearly.

Look, if you can simply smile your way out of todays news on Bain, it's clearly a winning smile.

She's a big Marshawn Lynch fan. She also has connections to the city of Cleveland.

"Just because" to the presumptive top pick in the draft is hilariously insane 🤣

This is probably my favorite set of reasonings. Looks like a coach is just a vicious takedown of the Cards if you think about it.

Ty for Ty-tans floored me

Big guy look big. Big guy belong on Giants

I do not understand why she is pro raiders right now. This was news to me. My best guess is that she was a big Pete Carroll fan, and either she thinks he's still coaching the Raiders, or has residual good feelings due to that.

32. SEA picks DL Kayden McDonald
"I love his smile"

And thus ends the only perfect mock draft you will see in 2026.
