# Charlie Campbell: 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.

**Claimed:** Nov 12, 2026
**Pundit:** Charlie Campbell — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/charlie-campbell

14 checkable claims — 14 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

> Oyebadejo looks like a future first- or second-round pick, and he is rising for the draft.

- Rob Rang on Malachi Corley: Rang updated their quarterback board for the 2027 NFL Draft, moving Ole Miss's Trinidad Chambliss to No. 1 ahead of Dante Moore and Arch Manning, and sorting the 14 QBs into first-round, Day 2 and Day 3 tiers.
