How each call scored
29 checkable claims — 14 combine measurements, 14 mock draft picks and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Others on the same people
Gilberto Manzano · Mock Draft Picks · Tavion Gadson · Waiting
Manzano laid out a mini mock of the first round for clubs holding multiple picks, projecting Jeremiah Smith first overall and placing quarterbacks, edge rushers and corners with the Titans, Dolphins, Jets, Eagles and Browns. Manzano also pegged CJ Carr to go no later than No. 9 and tabbed two Kentucky linemen as top-60 prospects.Josh Edwards · Mock Draft Picks · David Stone · Waiting
In a 2027 NFL mock draft following Week 7, Edwards projects the full first round, including five quarterbacks in Round 1, with the Jets holding three top-12 picks and landing C.J. Carr, Ashton Hampton and Will Echoles. They also project Day 2 picks for the Colts, Packers and Rams.
More combine measurements
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
Field Yates · Combine Measurements · Brenen Thompson · Close 67
Yates pegged David Bailey as a top-four pick, called Jeremiah Love clearly the best running back in the class with a draft range from No. 3 overall to the Chiefs at No. 9, put Karnell Tate atop their receiver board, projected Jordan Tyson as a top-15 pick, and expected Brennan Thompson to run in the 4.2s. They also see both Miami's Mauigoa and Utah's Spencer Fano taken inside the top 15, with Mauigoa having a chance to be the first offensive lineman off the board.Joe Haden · Combine Measurements · Zachariah Branch · Miss 0
Joe (the Browns-affiliated co-host) argues Shedeur Sanders is still the best quarterback of this class but concedes Fernando Mendoza will be the No. 1 overall pick, and they play the combine 40-yard dash props on Caleb Downs, Zachariah Branch and Haynes King.Bruce Feldman · Combine Measurements · Cole Payton · Hit 100
Feldman discussed Fernando Mendoza as the likely No. 1 overall pick to the Raiders, praised Kenyon Sadik and Sunny Styles as combine standouts, projected Ty Simpson as a late-first-round pick, and pegged Cole Peyton for the fourth-to-fifth round range.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Measurements · Justin Jefferson · Miss 27
On Move the Sticks, Daniel Jeremiah gave their views on the 2026 draft class: they set their board (Jeremiah Love as the second-best player, Malinoi 12th, Fano 14th), ranked the top edge rushers Bailey-Reese-Bain, projected draft ranges for several prospects, and forecast measurables for a few players.
