The Cozy Games NFL Mock Draft: Who’s Getting Picked First Overall?

What if your favorite cozy game characters laced up their cleats, strapped on shoulder pads, and hit the gridiron?

Yeah, we’re talking Stardew Valley, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and Animal Crossing — but make it NFL Draft style. These aren’t your typical first-round picks, but trust, they’re stacked with heart, hustle, and enough vibes to carry a franchise.

Here’s your first-round mock draft of 32 characters who could absolutely cook on the football field — or at least bring unmatched sideline energy.

1. Alex (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Quarterback
He’s got the varsity jacket, the biceps, and the confidence of a guy who knows he’s the hometown hero. But don’t sleep — Alex has real hands, hops, and heart. Runs crisp routes and isn’t afraid to take a hit across the middle. Talks a big game, but backs it up under the lights. First-down machine with main character energy.

2. Abigail (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Slot Receiver
Plays video games. Fights monsters. Literally eats rocks. She’s got that “tougher than she looks” mentality — perfect for clutch third-down plays.

3. Stitch (Disney Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Running Back
A feral blur of energy. Fast, unpredictable, and borderline illegal. You don’t tackle Stitch — you just pray he gets tired.

4. Sebastian (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Cornerback
Moody. Elusive. You’ll think you’ve burned him, but he’s reading your route like it’s a poem on his motorcycle. Sticky coverage guaranteed.

5. K.K. Slider (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Kicker / Vibe Coach
He’s not here for the hits — he’s here to win hearts and game-winning field goals. Plus halftime acoustic sets? Iconic.

6. Moana (Disney Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Strong Safety
Will hit. Will swim. Will guide your team through a sea of adversity. Elite tackling form and never gives up on a play.

7. Sam (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Wide Receiver
Speed demon with spiky hair and sick tricks. He’s built for deep routes and highlight reels. Skater-to-starter arc.

8. Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: GM (but insists on suiting up)
Strategic mastermind. Knows the salary cap better than anyone. Runs the offense like he runs an island economy: slightly scary but undeniably effective.

📍Position: Middle Linebacker
No magic? No problem. She’s the glue of the team, reading plays and uplifting everyone around her. Always at the heart of the action.

10. Marnie (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Offensive Lineman
Sturdy. Reliable. A small-town legend with pancake-block potential. Protects the QB like she protects those cows.

11. Judy (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Cornerback
Tiny, sparkly, and cold-blooded on defense. You’ll underestimate her once. Never again.

12. Scar (Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Edge Rusher
Menacing. Strategic. Pass-rushing terror with claws and drama. Definitely leads the league in sacks and villain monologues.

13. Shane (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Linebacker
Grumpy, gritty, and secretly built like a brick wall. Will absolutely flatten you on a blitz — then ask if you want a Joja Cola after.

14. Fauna (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Team Therapist / Backup QB
Warm, kind, and unshakable under pressure. The locker room glue, and can step in with precision passes if needed.

15. Ursula (Disney Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Defensive Tackle
Takes up space and makes it fashion. Dominates the line of scrimmage with confidence and sea witch power. You willlose yardage.

16. Krobus (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Free Safety
Silent. Mysterious. Comes outta nowhere for the pick-six. Krobus doesn’t speak — he intercepts.

17. Blathers (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Tight End
Underrated hands. Slow start off the line but always finds the seam. Educated. Elegant. Deadly in the red zone.

18. Remy (Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Offensive Coordinator
Doesn’t play, but draws up Michelin-star plays. Genius in a small package. Also cooks for the team. Morale booster and mad scientist rolled into one.

19. Penny (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Wide Receiver
Sweet off the field, ruthless on it. Route-running technician. She’s got hands, heart, and hustle.

20. Apollo (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Outside Linebacker
Big bird with big hits. Veteran leadership with military vibes. Wears a headband. You fear Apollo.

21. Anna (Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: QB2 / Offensive Spark
Unpredictable and fired up. Runs a no-huddle offense of pure enthusiasm. Ice in her veins and love in her heart.

22. Willy (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Fullback
Thick, grizzled, dependable. Old-school toughness. Can block, catch, and fish during halftime.

Star-gazer with a mind for the game. Won’t be on the field but will absolutely predict your plays before you call them.

27. Olaf (Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Backup Tight End / Mascot
A walking morale boost. He’s probably not catching touchdowns, but he’s cheering you on from the sideline like it’s his Super Bowl.

📍Position: Wide Receiver
Agile, graceful, and not afraid of the sideline toe-tap. She’s your finesse player with soft hands and soft eyes.

29. Sable (Animal Crossing)

📍Position: Left Tackle
She won’t talk much, but she’s protecting your blind side better than anyone. Built like a sewing machine — consistent and clutch.

30. Donald Duck (Dreamlight Valley)

📍Position: Middle Linebacker
Anger issues? Good. That’s what powers his hits. Might get ejected. Might change the game.

31. Linus (Stardew Valley)

📍Position: Team Shaman
He’s not here to play — he’s here to heal. Mental strength coach. Keeps the locker room humble and connected to the earth.

32. Brewster (Animal Crossing)
