# Eric Edholm: In their first 2027 NFL mock draft, Edholm projects the full first round plus three early second-round selections, with Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith going No. 1 to Houston and five quarterbacks taken in Round 1. **Claimed:** Oct 10, 2026 **Pundit:** Eric Edholm — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/eric-edholm **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/2027-nfl-mock-draft-10-5-quarterbacks-land-in-round-1-but-wr-jeremiah-smith-lands-at-no-1-154904997.html 37 checkable claims — 36 mock draft picks and 1 availability call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 67 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 19 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 6 and below it on 13. > Smith is a unicorn and should be a no-brainer top-five pick, even in a QB-heavy class. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Cam Coleman to be picked at number 14** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Cam Coleman, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jadan Baugh to be picked at number 30** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jadan Baugh, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trevor Goosby to be picked at number 16** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trevor Goosby, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Seaton to be picked at number 11** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jordan Seaton, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kelley Jones to be picked at number 28** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Kelley Jones, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Darian Mensah to be picked at number 13** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Darian Mensah, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ellis Robinson to be picked at number 10** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ellis Robinson, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trey'Dez Green to be picked at number 20** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trey'Dez Green, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Samson Okunlola to be picked at number 22** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Samson Okunlola, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jamari Johnson to be picked at number 31** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jamari Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Matayo Uiagalelei to be picked at number 24** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Matayo Uiagalelei, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **KJ Bolden to be picked at number 18** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: KJ Bolden, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **David Stone to be picked at number 27** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: David Stone, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trinidad Chambliss to be picked at number 6** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trinidad Chambliss, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dante Moore to be picked at number 21** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dante Moore, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ryan Coleman-Williams to be picked at number 23** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ryan Coleman-Williams, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Colin Simmons to be picked at number 2** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Colin Simmons, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Greg Johnson to be picked at number 32** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Greg Johnson, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **A'Mauri Washington to be picked at number 29** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: A'Mauri Washington, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiah Smith to be picked at number 1** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jeremiah Smith, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - “He returned to practice Monday after suffering a concussion Sept. 26 against USC, but he'll miss Saturday's game against UCLA.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Dante Moore - Verdict: not settled yet - **Leonard Moore to be picked at number 3** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Leonard Moore, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Hampton to be picked at number 7** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ashton Hampton, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Echoles to be picked at number 4** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Will Echoles, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **K.J.
