Bukowski expects Georgia State receiver Ted Hurst to be drafted before the Packers' third-round pick at No. 84, and believes edge rushers David Bailey, TJ Parker and Cassius Howell will all be gone before Green Bay picks at No. 52. They also rank Hurst as their top day-two receiver ahead of Chris Brazzle and Jeremy Bernard.

- 1David Bailey to be picked “gonna be long gone (before the Packers' pick at 52)”“Now there's also David Bailey from Texas Tech who's gonna be long gone.”
- 2Ted Hurst to be picked “I don't think he's gonna make it to 84”“Ted Hurst, the receiver from Georgia State, who was a projected middle round pick, could be could could go as early as round two. Right now, by consensus, is more like a round three player. I don't think he's gonna make it to 84.”
- 3Top Player Lists“Chris Brazzle the second... Jeremy Bernard from Alabama, square in that day two mix. Ted Hurst might be my my number one guy of that group. And I love Brazel too... those guys, like, if they're there at 52... less less Bernard, but more Hearst and Brazel”
- 4Cashius Howell to be picked “probably gonna be long gone (before the Packers' pick at 52)”“And Cassius Howell from Texas A and M, probably gonna be long gone.”
- 5T.J. Parker to be picked “gonna be long gone (before the Packers' pick at 52)”“TJ Parker from Clemson, gonna be long gone.”

How each call scored
5 checkable claims — 4 mock draft picks and 1 top player list — 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.
