# Mike Renner: Renner names five favorites, calling Reuben Bain Jr. the best non-quarterback in the class, Caden Proctor a top-five prospect and potentially the best OT in the class, Omar Cooper Jr. a possible first-rounder, Jadarian Price a second-round pick and the class's second-best running back, and Josiah Trotter a top-50 selection.

12 checkable claims — 5 mock draft picks, 5 position order calls and 2 combine measurements — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

10 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 87.6 out of 100, against 42 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> I'm saying I think he's the best non quarterback in this draft.
