# Daniel Jeremiah: Daniel Jeremiah pegged Ty Simpson as a second-round quarterback (his No. 40-42 player), had Keldric Faulk going in the early twenties in his own mock, saw 'Shambless' as a day-two quarterback who could go higher, expected Tua to be moved on from, and named the Titans and Giants as the teams most likely to make a big leap toward the playoffs. **Claimed:** Feb 5, 2026 **Pundit:** Daniel Jeremiah — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/daniel-jeremiah **Outlet:** Move the Sticks (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/move-the-sticks-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-move-the-sticks-with-daniel-jeremiah-bucky-bro/bucky-brooks-mock-draft-1-0-two-teams-that-could-follow-the-patriots-blueprint 5 checkable claims — 2 mock draft picks, 2 surprise team calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
