1Trevor Goosby to make Pro Bowl“he already moves with such an exciting combination of grace and force that it is easy to project him as a future Pro Bowler, if not All-Pro”
2Colin Simmons to be picked “top-five selection” (picks 1–5)“Simmons' physical gifts are undeniable and will almost certainly earn him a top-five selection whenever he chooses to enter the draft.”
3Dylan Stewart to make All-Pro“He's just growing into his frame and game, projecting as a future All-Pro caliber edge.”
4Kewan Lacy to be 1st running back off the board“Kewan Lacy could be the first running back drafted in 2027.”

How each call scored

4 checkable claims — 2 pro bowl and all-pro calls, 1 mock draft pick and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 4 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.

Others on the same people

Mike Renner · Mock Draft Picks · Trevor Goosby · Miss 0
Renner picked the same AFC bracket as JP except with the Texans reaching the Super Bowl as a fifth seed, had the Packers beating the Bears in the NFC, and leaned Rams over Seahawks in the NFC Championship and the Rams as Super Bowl champions. They also gave a full post-season mock draft of picks 1-18.
Justin Melo · Mock Draft Picks · Trevor Goosby · Waiting
Melo mocked Texas offensive tackle Trevor Goosby to the Denver Broncos at No. 29 overall, citing the need for an eventual successor to Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey's struggles.
Chad Jensen · Mock Draft Picks · Trevor Goosby · Waiting
Jensen argued Goosby could come off the board before pick No. 29 and expects the Broncos to use a first-round pick on an offensive tackle rather than the positions fans are clamoring for.
Gilberto Manzano · Mock Draft Picks · Dylan Stewart · Waiting
Manzano laid out a mini mock of the first round for clubs holding multiple picks, projecting Jeremiah Smith first overall and placing quarterbacks, edge rushers and corners with the Titans, Dolphins, Jets, Eagles and Browns. Manzano also pegged CJ Carr to go no later than No. 9 and tabbed two Kentucky linemen as top-60 prospects.
Charlie Campbell · Mock Draft Picks · Colin Simmons · Waiting
Previewing Week 11 college games with an eye to the 2027 NFL Draft, Campbell projects draft ranges for a number of prospects, including first/second-round grades for Emmanuel Oyebadejo, top-20 potential for Jordan Seaton and Colin Simmons, Day 2 for two safeties, and first-round talent for several Georgia and Indiana players.
Charlie Campbell · Mock Draft Picks · Kewan Lacy · Waiting
In their 2027 NFL Mock Draft, Campbell projects the second round (picks 33-64), naming a specific prospect for each selection, including Duce Robinson to Miami at 35 and LaNorris Sellers to Minnesota at 64.
