Bucky Brooks· Apr 3, 2026
Brooks endorses several of Jeremiah's Day 2 names, projecting Dominique Orange as a Day 2/third-round defensive tackle, Max Claire as a top-50 pick and starting tight end, and Demon Claiborne at the bottom of Day 2.
“I think somewhere in those top fifty picks that's where he goes.”

What others said about the same people
- Blaine GrisakRoster Spot Calls · Max KlareHit · 100After the Rams' first preseason game, Grisak predicted the full 53-man roster, naming three quarterbacks, four running backs, five receivers, five tight ends, nine offensive linemen, four linebackers, six defensive linemen, four edge rushers, five cornerbacks, five safeties and three special teamers, with Dean Connors headed for the practice squad instead.
- Adam CarlsonRoster Spot Calls · Demond ClaiborneHit · 100Carlson argues that rookie Demond Claiborne's strong training camp will force the Vikings to keep him as the third running back on the 53-man roster, at the expense of Zavier Scott, who would be cut.
- Ollie ConnollyMock Draft Picks · Demond ClaiborneClose · 48Connelly assesses the 2026 draft class: he sees Jeremiah Love as a top-ten most productive player at running back with an Ezekiel Elliott-to-Bijan/McCaffrey range, projects Fernando Mendoza as a top-8-to-12 starting QB in the league, pegs Ty Simpson as a top-of-the-second-round pick he'd only be comfortable taking in the third, and slots various tight ends and late running backs into specific rounds.
- Daniel JeremiahMock Draft Picks · Demond ClaiborneMiss · 8Jeremiah runs through his 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.
- Damian ParsonMock Draft Picks · Domonique OrangeHit · 100Parson projected several mid-round defensive and receiver prospects: Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golde could sneak into the late first round, Georgia DT Christian Miller goes on day two (round two to three), Iowa State DT Dominique Orange in the third round, and Georgia State WR Ted Hurst in rounds two or three.
- Jaime EisnerMock Draft Picks · Domonique OrangeClose · 42A seven-round Raiders mock draft projecting Fernando Mendoza first overall to Las Vegas and nine additional picks, including Denzel Boston in Round 2 and A.J. Haulcy in Round 3.
More mock draft picks
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
- Ryan WilsonMock Draft Picks · J.J. McCarthyMiss · 37Recalling his pre-draft evaluation, Wilson notes he had ranked J.J. McCarthy as the fifth quarterback in the 2024 class and given him a second-round grade rather than a first-round one, citing the gap between Michigan's system and NFL demands.
- Lance ZierleinMock Draft Picks · Jeremiyah LoveHit · 100Zierlein laid out his final mock draft: Jeremiah Love at No. 3 to Arizona, Sonny Styles at No. 4 to Robert Saleh's team, and Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5. He also called Styles the only first-round linebacker in the class and said Ty Simpson is a lock to be a first-round pick, most likely to Arizona.
- Nick ShookMock Draft Picks · Max IheanachorHit · 88Shook walks through his full first-round mock draft, assigning a prospect to every pick from No. 1 to No. 32, headlined by Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets and Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals in the top three.
- Gregg RosenthalMock Draft Picks · K.C. ConcepcionClose · 68Rosenthal disagrees most with Casey Concepcion being left out of the first round, arguing he could go as high as the top 15 and certainly won't last past receiver-needy teams in the late twenties.
- Daniel JeremiahMock Draft Picks · Keyron CrawfordHit · 81In discussing teams without first-round picks, Jeremiah projected specific Day 2 picks: Clemson WR Antonio Williams to the Falcons at 48, Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez to the Colts in the second round, Oklahoma edge R Mason Thomas to the Packers at 52, and Auburn edge Keiroon Crawford to the Broncos at 62. He also expects Riley Leonard to open as the Colts' starting QB and Travis Hunter to play cornerback full time in Jacksonville.
- Daniel JeremiahMock Draft Picks · Carnell TateHit · 92Jeremiah says Denver, not Kansas City, will be the clear favorite in the AFC West this season; he also puts Carnell Tate sixth and Monroe Freeling twentieth on his prospect board, mocks Tate to Cleveland at No. 6, and expects Georgia receiver Branch to be a Day 2 pick after a strong pro day.
