How each call scored
21 checkable claims — 10 combine measurements, 10 mock draft picks 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.
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.

Who this take is about
Others on the same people
Richie Bradshaw · Mock Draft Picks · Kade Pieper · Waiting
In a quarter-season 2027 NFL mock draft, Bradshaw assigns all 32 first-round picks, starting with Miami taking Duke-turned-Miami QB Darian Mensah first overall, Jeremiah Smith to Tennessee at No. 2 and the Cardinals landing Dante Moore at No. 3. They also name their positional pecking order, including Mensah as QB1, Charlie Becker as WR2, Greg Johnson as the top interior offensive lineman and Kingston Lopa as the first safety off the board.Thomas Martinez · Mock Draft Picks · Kade Pieper · Waiting
Martinez identifies several college prospects scouted by the Chargers as future high draft picks, headlined by Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith as a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 draft and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore as a projected top-five selection, along with first-round projections for CJ Carr, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Trevor Lauck and Kade Pieper.Rob Rang · Mock Draft Picks · Kade Pieper · Waiting
Rang published a full first-round 2027 NFL mock draft, projecting Arch Manning first overall to Arizona, Dante Moore second to Miami, and 30 more selections, plus expectations that the Jets' own pick and Denver's pick will land later than the projected order.

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.
