# Colin Cowherd: Cowherd delivered their own top-15 draft board — what they would do as GM of each team — pairing prospects with picks 1 through 15, and separately argued Shedeur Sanders is a far better prospect than Daniel Jones and that Aaron Rodgers should retire. **Claimed:** Apr 17, 2025 **Pundit:** Colin Cowherd — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/colin-cowherd **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/hour-2-nfl-mock-draft-2 21 checkable claims — 15 mock draft picks, 3 trade and signing calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 playoff pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 32 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 20 of 21 have settled so far, averaging 77.6 out of 100, against 52.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Number one is Tennessee. You gotta get cam Warden. It's an easy one. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tetairoa McMillan to be picked at number 8** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess -
