# Daniel Jeremiah: Jeremiah runs through their favorite Day 2 targets position by position, projecting specific rounds for corners, safeties, defensive tackles, edge rushers, linebackers, receivers, tight ends, running backs and offensive linemen. **Claimed:** Apr 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Daniel Jeremiah — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/daniel-jeremiah **Outlet:** Move the Sticks (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/move-the-sticks-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-move-the-sticks-with-daniel-jeremiah-bucky-bro/2026-nfl-draft-standouts-in-day-two-and-beyond 38 checkable claims — 33 mock draft picks, 4 position order calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 34 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 20 of 38 have settled so far, averaging 51.6 out of 100, against 45.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > I think all of three of those guys are gonna come off the board. On Day two rather, I think probably early and probably those gonna be second round picks. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Gracen Halton to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Gracen Halton - Verdict: scored 73.84 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Keith Abney to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Keith Abney - Verdict: scored 8.46 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Daylen Everette to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Daylen Everette - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Justin Jefferson to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Justin Jefferson - Verdict: scored 11.97 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Demond Claiborne to be picked “probably more of a fourth rounder, but could sneak into the third” (picks 65–140)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Demond Claiborne - Verdict: scored 8.11 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Domonique Orange to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Domonique Orange - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Max Llewellyn to be picked “probably third round, he could get to the fourth” (picks 65–140)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Max Llewellyn - Verdict: scored 1.43 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Noah Whittington to be picked “probably fourth round, even he could even go a little later” (picks 101–140)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Noah Whittington - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Joshua Josephs to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Joshua Josephs - Verdict: scored 13.05 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Chris McClellan to be picked “third round” (picks 65–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Chris McClellan - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Chris Johnson to be picked “second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Chris Johnson - Verdict: scored 77.11 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Nicholas Singleton to be 5th running back off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Nicholas Singleton - Verdict: scored 50 out of 100, against 40.19 for a naive guess - **Caleb Tiernan to be picked “good Land in the second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Caleb Tiernan - Verdict: scored 23.94 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Marlin Klein to be 4th tight end off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Marlin Klein - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 22.59 for a naive guess - **Max Klare to be 3rd tight end off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Max Klare - Verdict: scored 50 out of 100, against 23.72 for a naive guess - **Eli Stowers to be 2nd tight end off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Eli Stowers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 18.72 for a naive guess - **Kyle Louis to be picked “second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Kyle Louis - Verdict: scored 4.05 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Jake Golday to be picked “second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jake Golday - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **D'Angelo Ponds to be picked “second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: D'Angelo Ponds - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Keionte Scott to be picked “second round” (picks 33–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Keionte Scott - Verdict: scored 10.51 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Mike Washington to be picked “day two”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Mike Washington - Verdict: not settled yet - **A.J.
