# Jeremy White: White expects one of the receivers he thinks could last to Buffalo — Omar Cooper or Denzel Boston — to instead come off the board before the Bills' first-round pick at No. 26. **Claimed:** Apr 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeremy White — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jeremy-white **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/d84e3138-37b6-4062-b7b1-b56439c98c6e/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162&awEpisodeId=d84e3138-37b6-4062-b7b1-b56439c98c6e&feed=LIaoLB9Y 2 checkable claims — 2 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I think that could be Omar Cooper. I think that could be Denzel Boston to go before the Bills pick. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Denzel Boston to be picked “to go before the Bills pick (No. 26)”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Denzel Boston - Verdict: not settled yet - **Omar Cooper to be picked “to go before the Bills pick (No. 26)”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Omar Cooper - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Denzel Boston — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/denzel-boston - Omar Cooper — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/omar-cooper ## What others said about the same people - Nick Pedone on Denzel Boston: Previewing the Browns' preseason finale, Pedone says five receivers — Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, Isaiah Bond and Tylan Wallace — are very likely to make Cleveland's 53-man roster, leaving one final spot open for Luke Floriea and others. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b7401a6b-fdaf-4d71-84f3-d96262d88dcd (scored 100) - Nick Pedone on Denzel Boston: Reading the Browns' first depth chart, Pedone projects Deshaun Watson as the Week 1 starting quarterback, lays out the full projected starting offensive line with Parker Brailsford as backup center, expects KT Leveston to make the roster as guard depth, and names Jeudy, Concepcion, Boston and Bond as roster locks with Tylan Wallace as the fifth receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1ad89afe-570a-4067-b536-6940a8533619 (scored 100) - Daniel Jeremiah on Denzel Boston: Jeremiah previewed the combine with a series of draft projections: Ty Simpson ranked around 40th on his 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. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4b865856-02f6-442a-8d40-75e42704cead (scored 74.1) - Mina Kimes on Denzel Boston: Kimes projects Washington receiver Denzel Boston as a second-half-of-the-first-round pick and expects the Chargers to move on from Mekhi Becton. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/313774ec-4795-434d-9f21-6ec534873000 (scored 100) - Mike Renner on Omar Cooper: Renner names five favorites, calling Reuben Bain Jr. the best non-quarterback in the class, Caden Proctor a top-five prospect and potentially the best OT in the class, Omar Cooper Jr. a possible first-rounder, Jadarian Price a second-round pick and the class's second-best running back, and Josiah Trotter a top-50 selection. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4585cce6-20f2-42db-b844-37dc147eef60 (scored 87.62) - Jaime Eisner on Denzel Boston: A seven-round Raiders mock draft projecting Fernando Mendoza first overall to Las Vegas and nine additional picks, including Denzel Boston in Round 2 and A.J.
