# Charlie Campbell: A scouting report on the Oklahoma–Michigan game projects Michigan cornerback Zeke Berry as more likely a second-round pick than a first-rounder because of his size, and says Utah transfer edge rusher John Henry Daley could be a first-round pick next April if he proves to be a well-rounded defender. The writer declines to give John Mateer a round estimate, saying only that this tape will hurt his draft grade. **Claimed:** Sep 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Charlie Campbell — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/charlie-campbell **Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/walter-football **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://walterfootball.com/2027-nfl-draft-college-game-recaps-week-2.php 2 checkable claims — 2 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
