The co-host endorsed several of the mock's selections, most firmly that Cleveland takes tackle Monroe Freeling at No. 6, that Carnell Tate lands with the Saints, and that he too would pick Caleb Downs for the Bengals at No. 10.

It's gonna be tackle at six. It's gonna be Munro Freeling at six.

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Caleb Downs to be picked at number 10

    I would also go Caleb Downs here just because, like, obviously, like, he is, again, one of the best players in this draft class, and he fits what the Bengals want to do

  • Carnell Tate to be picked at number 8

    I definitely agree with you with Tate to the Saints because, like you said, Tyler Shuck needs some explosive playmakers.

  • Monroe Freeling to be picked at number 6

    The way they attack free agency makes me think it's gonna be tackle at six. It's gonna be Munro Freeling at six.
