# Chad Reuter: Reuter's five-round mock has Buffalo trading up one spot to No. 25 for Texas A&M receiver Casey Concepcion, then taking Arkansas CB Julian Neal at 91, Michigan edge/linebacker Jayshawn Barham at 126, and Alabama linebacker Justin Jefferson at 168. **Claimed:** Apr 14, 2026 **Pundit:** Chad Reuter — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chad-reuter **Outlet:** Locked On Bills (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-bills-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/8c06ff/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162/episodes/bc106522-6eda-4254-b4fc-80e9bdf12186/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162&awEpisodeId=bc106522-6eda-4254-b4fc-80e9bdf12186&feed=LIaoLB9Y 5 checkable claims — 4 mock draft picks and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 4 of 5 have settled so far, averaging 58.3 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. ## The claims - **Jaishawn Barham to be picked at number 126** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jaishawn Barham, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 22.93 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **K.C.
