# Mike Renner: Mike Renner made the even-numbered picks in the show's first-round mock, from Arvell Reese to the Jets at No. 2 through Chris Johnson to Seattle at 32, and also said they'd bet Omar Cooper Jr. is off the board before the Eagles pick at 23. **Claimed:** Apr 20, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Renner — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-renner **Outlet:** Pushing the Pile (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pushing-the-pile-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/serve.castfire.com/audio/8174627/8174627_2026-04-12-052627.192.mp3?rssID=6037 17 checkable claims — 17 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 30 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 16 of 17 have settled so far, averaging 71.8 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > We're going Arvell Reese, the Ohio State linebacker slash edge. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
