# Daniel Jeremiah: Jeremiah previewed the combine with a series of draft projections: Ty Simpson ranked around 40th on their board with first-round upside, Garrett Nussmeier landing on Day 2 (more likely third round than second), Jeremiyah Love as a top-10 pick, Jeneian Price as a second-round pick, and Jermal McCoy potentially the first cornerback drafted. **Claimed:** Feb 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Daniel Jeremiah — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/daniel-jeremiah **Outlet:** Move the Sticks (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/move-the-sticks-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/40s-and-free-agents-nfl-draft-season/40s-and-free-agents-nfl-scouting-combine-preview 15 checkable claims — 10 combine measurements, 3 mock draft picks, 1 combine superlative and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 10 of 15 have settled so far, averaging 67.8 out of 100, against 45.9 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > But Jeremiah Love, who will be a top ten pick more than likely. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Denzel Boston to post six three at the combine** - Kind: Combine Measurements · About: Denzel Boston - Verdict: scored 74.1 out of 100, against 38.59 for a naive guess - **Cashius Howell to post in the low two fifties at the combine** - Kind: Combine Measurements · About: Cashius Howell - Verdict: scored 93.83 out of 100, against 89.41 for a naive guess - **Brenen Thompson to lead his drill at the combine** - Kind: Combine Superlatives · About: Brenen Thompson - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Rueben Bain to post almost two hundred and eighty pounds.
