# Mike Renner: Renner ranks the top 10 offensive tackle prospects in the upcoming draft class and assigns each an early draft grade, with Trevor Goosby a top-10 pick, Jordan Seaton a first-rounder, and Cayden Green likely the first guard drafted; they also expect Seaton to be picked higher than Olu Fashanu's 11th-overall slot. **Claimed:** Aug 17, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Renner — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-renner **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2027-nfl-draft-rankings-top-10-offensive-tackles/ 13 checkable claims — 10 mock draft picks, 1 position order call, 1 prospect vs prospect call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 13 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > There's a good chance he's the first guard off the board in April. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jordan Seaton to be drafted ahead of Olu Fashanu** - Kind: Prospect vs Prospect Calls · About: Jordan Seaton - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Trevor Lauck to be picked “Early Day 2” (picks 33–67)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trevor Lauck - Verdict: not settled yet - **Niki Prongos to be picked “Early Day 2” (picks 33–67)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Niki Prongos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cayden Green to be picked “Early Day 2” (picks 33–67)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Cayden Green - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacarrius Peak to be picked “Day 2” (picks 33–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jacarrius Peak - Verdict: not settled yet - **Elijah Paige to be picked “Day 2” (picks 33–100)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Elijah Paige - Verdict: not settled yet - “Positional rankings ...
