# Bradley Locker: Locker's mock has the Bills trading back with Miami to pick 30, where they take Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon, while Miami moves up to 26 for edge rusher Akeem Messador and San Francisco takes KC Conception at 27. **Claimed:** Apr 14, 2026 **Pundit:** Bradley Locker — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/bradley-locker **Outlet:** Locked On Bills (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-bills-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/8c06ff/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162/episodes/bc106522-6eda-4254-b4fc-80e9bdf12186/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162&awEpisodeId=bc106522-6eda-4254-b4fc-80e9bdf12186&feed=LIaoLB9Y 4 checkable claims — 3 mock draft picks and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 60 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 above the rest of the room. > But interior offensive line is a sneaky position considering the departure of David Edwards plus the impending free agency of Osiris Torrance. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Akheem Mesidor to be picked at number 26** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Akheem Mesidor, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: scored 84.09 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Emmanuel Pregnon to be picked at number 30** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Emmanuel Pregnon, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 8.11 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **K.C.
