# Jeremy White: White expects one of the receivers he thinks could last to Buffalo — Omar Cooper or Denzel Boston — to instead come off the board before the Bills' first-round pick at No. 26. **Claimed:** Apr 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeremy White — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jeremy-white **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/d84e3138-37b6-4062-b7b1-b56439c98c6e/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162&awEpisodeId=d84e3138-37b6-4062-b7b1-b56439c98c6e&feed=LIaoLB9Y 2 checkable claims — 2 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I think that could be Omar Cooper. I think that could be Denzel Boston to go before the Bills pick. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Denzel Boston to be picked “to go before the Bills pick (No. 26)”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Denzel Boston - Verdict: not settled yet - **Omar Cooper to be picked “to go before the Bills pick (No. 26)”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Omar Cooper - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Denzel Boston — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/denzel-boston - Omar Cooper — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/omar-cooper ## What others said about the same people - Daniel Jeremiah on Denzel Boston: Jeremiah previewed the combine with a series of draft projections: Ty Simpson ranked around 40th on his board with first-round upside, Garrett Nussmeier landing on Day 2 (more likely third round than second), Jeremiyah Love as a top-10 pick, Jeneian Price as a second-round pick, and Jermal McCoy potentially the first cornerback drafted. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4b865856-02f6-442a-8d40-75e42704cead (scored 74.1) - Mina Kimes on Denzel Boston: Kimes projects Washington receiver Denzel Boston as a second-half-of-the-first-round pick and expects the Chargers to move on from Mekhi Becton. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/313774ec-4795-434d-9f21-6ec534873000 (scored 100) - Mike Renner on Omar Cooper: 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. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4585cce6-20f2-42db-b844-37dc147eef60 (scored 87.62) - Jaime Eisner on Denzel Boston: A seven-round Raiders mock draft projecting Fernando Mendoza first overall to Las Vegas and nine additional picks, including Denzel Boston in Round 2 and A.J.
