# Brady Quinn: Brady Quinn gave his 'explosive' top-10 mock draft, projecting Cam Ward first overall to Tennessee, Abdul Carter second to Cleveland, Travis Hunter third to the Giants, and including a trade in which New Orleans moves up to No. 8 with Carolina to take Jackson Dart. **Claimed:** Apr 24, 2025 **Pundit:** Brady Quinn — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/brady-quinn **Outlet:** 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/2-pros-and-a-cup-of-joe-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/2-pros-and-a-cup-of-joe/hour-2-jonas-brady-lavar-top-10-explosive-mock-draft 12 checkable claims — 10 mock draft picks and 2 team draft slot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 20 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 12 have settled, averaging 85.5 out of 100, against 51.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So I've got Abdul Carter going number two overall to the Cleveland Browns. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
