# Shannon Sharpe: Sharpe expects Myles Garrett, now with the Rams, to remain dominant and post at least 14-15 sacks, and they also think Micah Parsons will again reach double-digit sacks. They predict the Dolphins win only two games this season, and says Jeremiah Smith won't go ahead of Mendoza at the top of the draft. **Claimed:** Sep 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Shannon Sharpe — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/shannon-sharpe **Outlet:** Nightcap (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/nightcap-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/28/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/6ced0da2-f257-4234-bf7c-b07601488685/f6f787d8-e381-4183-8039-b4c00003bd3d/audio.mp3?in_playlist=99f1543b-ae3c-4f45-90f2-b076014995d9 2 checkable claims — 1 prospect vs prospect call and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 50 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 was going to say he's going to get at least 14, 15. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Fernando Mendoza to be drafted ahead of Jeremiah Smith** - Kind: Prospect vs Prospect Calls · About: Fernando Mendoza - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Miami Dolphins to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Fernando Mendoza — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/fernando-mendoza - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/dolphins ## What others said about the same people - Alain Poupart on Carlos Washington: Poupart expects rookie guard Kadyn Proctor to clear concussion protocol and play against Detroit, sees Ollie Gordon II continuing as the Dolphins' workhorse back, and thinks practice squad back Carlos Washington Jr. could be elevated for the Lions game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8f436e4c-b47e-41c6-9c95-ad8a2e6a32f0 (scored 0) - Nick Brinkerhoff on Miami Dolphins: Predicts a 23-20 Dolphins win over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a38cb982-14c3-4bea-bf0f-f61b43e1535a (scored 100) - Mike Kadlick on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Dolphins to beat the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/23a2739f-abc5-4aea-9665-cebe61f324c5 (scored 100) - Alain Poupart on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Dolphins to upset the Jets 24-20, citing New York's run-defense problems against a Miami ground game led by Ollie Gordon II and Malik Willis. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0737798d-0dca-47e8-926d-d78d3f3f095a (scored 97.62) - Alain Poupart on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Jets to beat the Dolphins 19-17, while predicting Miami will get its win over New York in the rematch five weeks later. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9911cc3c-511b-46b0-b379-e65b36a962bf (scored 100) - Jourdan Rodrigue on Miami Dolphins: Roderick picked the Vikings to smash the Colts, the Dolphins to win their first game of the season against the Jets, and the Saints to upset the Steelers in Paris. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b45ad24a-5924-47e4-b85c-68b9fa738ef4 (scored 100) ## More prospect vs prospect calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Mike Renner on Jordan Seaton: 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. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3dfdba17-f4e6-4b18-8af8-84b8f032ed3d (scored 0) - Chad Rader on Akheem Mesidor: As read on the show, Reuter's three-round NFL.com mock has the same top four, then Delane to the Giants at five, Makai Lemmon to the Browns, Downs to Washington, Love to the Saints, Caden Proctor to the Chiefs at nine, Akeem Mesidore at 40 and Kaitlin Allen in round three. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e297fdd0-4829-4ae8-84b4-600ac0d5a7e5 (scored 100) - Gregg Rosenthal on David Bailey: Rosenthal expects Ruben Bain to be drafted in the top 10-12 and believes they won't get past the Cowboys at No. 12, expects David Bailey to be taken early (hard to see them out of the top six) and to go before Bain, and pegs Kiante Scott as a late-second to third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/212bbcc6-b935-43f8-b293-a6a12681dd41 (scored 100) - Fran Duffy on Sonny Styles: Duffy expects Sonny Styles to be picked inside the top 10, believes short-armed Ruben Bain will still go inside the top 15 (possibly top 10 or top 5), thinks Styles will come off the board before Caleb Downs, ranks Avion Terrell as their top cornerback, and has Stukes graded as a second-round pick against industry consensus. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c1cb2cdd-665e-4c51-8ce2-34bc7cbeb0a3 (scored 100) - Andrew Siciliano on Sonny Styles: Siciliano calls Caleb Downs the safest pick in the draft but doubts they go No. 2, and predicts Sonny Styles will dominate the combine and be drafted in the top seven, ahead of Downs. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0440706c-a112-4d3c-9640-db05e422ce69 (scored 100) - Tucker Franklin on David Bailey: Tucker predicted edge David Bailey comes off the board before Ruben Bain Jr., that Peter Woods won't last until the Chiefs' pick at 40 (i.e. goes in round one), and that the Chiefs will cut Mike Danna and Jawaan Taylor. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d59b4be3-be4a-4fdd-9eec-3b68a9f18dfe (scored 100) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
