Rich Eisen · Apr 6, 2026

Eisen predicts only one quarterback (Mendoza at No. 1) and one running back (Jeremiah Love, top five) go in the first round, with Ty Simpson and Jadarian Price waiting until the top of round two, and says Carnell Tate will be gone before Kansas City picks at No. 9.

I think it'll be Mendoza one and then none, and then love top five.

  • Jordan Love to be picked “top five” (picks 1–5)

    I I think it'll be Mendoza one and then none, and then love top five Yeah. And then none.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Ty Simpson to be picked “top of round two”

    I think at the end of the day, Simpson will be waiting for the top of round two.

  • Colonel Tate to be picked “not gonna be there at nine (i.e., picked before No. 9)”

    And more and more I think about Colonel Tate, and if he drops to nine He's not he's no. He's not gonna be there. At nine? No. He's not gonna be there.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
