Richard Sherman#43 of 87 NFL pundits · Apr 24, 2026
Sherman panned the Rams taking Ty Simpson in the first round, saying they don't see it helping them now or next year and that quarterbacks with their profile haven't panned out. They also predicted Arizona will be picking in the top 10 again next year after using pick No. 3 on Jeremiah Love, and pegged Carnell Tate as at best a No. 2 receiver in Tennessee.

- 1Ty Simpson to disappoint at the next level“I'm shocked that Tyz Simpson was drafted in the first round... I don't see how this helps them this year. I don't really see how it helps them next year... he's I think the fourth quarterback with less than sixteen starts to be drafted in the first round, and none of them are doing really well in the National Football League.”
- 2Carnell Tate to be 2nd on the depth chart“I think he'll be He'll be fine, maybe a great number two receiver, but I don't think a dominant number one, which you expect to get at the number four pick.”
- 3Arizona Cardinals to pick “picking in the top ten again next year” (picks 1–10)“they're gonna skate by and you'll likely be picking in the top ten again next year because of picks like this”

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call, 1 draft bust call and 1 team draft slot 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.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.
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.
