# Daniel Jeremiah: Jeremiah unveiled his first mock draft of the cycle, projecting all 32 first-round picks, led by Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 to the Raiders, Arnold Reese to the Jets at No. 2, and offensive linemen Spencer Fano and Francis Malioa going back-to-back to Arizona and Tennessee. **Claimed:** Jan 27, 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/daniel-jeremiahs-mock-draft-1-0-1 32 checkable claims — 31 mock draft picks and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 54 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 32 have settled, averaging 68.7 out of 100, against 48.8 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Fantom Mendoza goes one. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Mansoor Delane to be 1st corner off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Mansoor Delane, New York Giants - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 12.64 for a naive guess - **Akheem Mesidor to be picked at number 17** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Akheem Mesidor, Detroit Lions - Verdict: scored 80.52 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Blake Miller to be picked at number 29** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Blake Miller, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 59.46 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **David Bailey to be picked at number 6** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: David Bailey, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 84.09 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Peter Woods to be picked at number 30** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Peter Woods, Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 95.76 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Sonny Styles to be picked at number 7** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Sonny Styles, Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Francis Mauigoa to be picked at number 4** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Francis Mauigoa, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: scored 77.11 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Spencer Fano to be picked at number 3** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Spencer Fano, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: scored 77.11 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Arvell Reese to be picked at number 2** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Arvell Reese, New York Jets - Verdict: scored 87.81 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Keldric Faulk to be picked at number 20** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Keldric Faulk - Verdict: scored 62.09 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Fernando Mendoza to be picked at number 1** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Fernando Mendoza, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Dillon Thieneman to be picked at number 25** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dillon Thieneman, Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **C.J.

He also predicts Jaydon Blue will be claimed off waivers by another team and that Sam Williams will land elsewhere. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a37588ef-f76e-4f06-a951-a85a563271d5 (scored 0) - Bucky Brooks on Josh Johnson: Brooks predicted J.J. McCarthy won't be on the Vikings' roster (traded or released), said Kyler Murray wins the Vikings' QB competition, made a series of 2025 award picks, made 2026 Heisman/draft projections including Arch Manning as the front-runner for the No. 1 overall pick, and said none of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen or Joe Burrow win a championship this season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/10c3797b-f9e0-41ca-a2a3-5d765a242a79 (scored 0) - Nick Wright on Buffalo Bills: Nick Wright expects the Bills to beat the Lions comfortably in the Thursday night home opener, with Josh Allen shredding a depleted Detroit secondary, and he also picks a workmanlike Chiefs win over the Colts on Sunday night. He further predicts Tyreek Hill will end up on the Chiefs by around Halloween. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/00ed9114-0e69-4e26-9fb2-4e5e3893c56e (scored 100) - Mike Moraitis on DaRon Bland: Moraitis names five Cowboys he expects to be playing their final season opener in Dallas in 2026: George Pickens (likely tag-and-trade or departure), Malik Hooker, Luke Schoonmaker, DeMarvion Overshown and DaRon Bland. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/66b5ed7b-41bd-4f67-9b4d-16eae4675e67 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Deshaun Watson: An unsigned CBS Sports preseason review grading all 32 teams, which along the way stakes out a number of depth-chart calls for Week 1 and beyond — including Deshaun Watson opening as Cleveland's starter, Fernando Mendoza taking over as Las Vegas' QB1 by season's end, and Minnesota's Murray-Wentz-McCarthy quarterback order. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/054d7c3e-baca-4414-b3dd-72c4eced2725 (scored 100) - Ryan Wilson on Deshaun Watson: A CBS Sports piece states Deshaun Watson has won Cleveland's starting quarterback job for Week 1 with Shedeur Sanders next in line, while arguing Watson will not play like even an average NFL quarterback and that none of the Browns' current young passers should stop them from drafting a first-round quarterback next April. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ff870e69-9992-4166-aa81-9b49d6f77f55 (scored 100) ## More mock draft picks The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Gregg Rosenthal on K.C. Concepcion: Rosenthal disagrees most with Casey Concepcion being left out of the first round, arguing he could go as high as the top 15 and certainly won't last past receiver-needy teams in the late twenties. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8fae9a3a-7fd8-454c-99cc-0a8400c35d7d (scored 67.71) - Jeff Cavanaugh on Lorenzo Styles: Streaming from the NFL Combine, Jeff pegged safety Dylan Thienemann's draft range at roughly picks 20-35, said LSU safety AJ Halsey would cost a second- or third-round pick, and insisted Sonny Styles' brother would not be a top-50 selection despite a fast 40. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f1f48cc1-f9d5-44ca-b130-2c6447b49bc6 (scored 0.51) - Tom Pelissero on Ashton Jeanty: Pelissero says Cam Ward is the Titans' pick at the top of the 2025 draft and that Travis Hunter is most likely the Browns' selection at No. 2; he also endorses Tyler Warren as a top-10 pick, expects Ashton Jeanty inside the top 10, and names five under-the-radar players who could sneak into round one, including Emeka Egbuka between picks 20-25 and Tyler Shough (whom he pegs more likely as a Day 2 pick). — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/b7089cf4-c63d-4d43-84a4-072b1d2ee328 (scored 100) - Kyle Brandt on Cam Ward: Brandt insists Cam Ward will be the No. 1 overall pick as the best player in the draft, and predicts Ashton Jeanty won't fall past pick six or seven. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cf3ad678-a0a0-49c1-a265-69812a3e5048 (scored 100) - Colin Cowherd on Armand Membou: Cowherd delivered his own top-15 draft board — what he would do as GM of each team — pairing prospects with picks 1 through 15, and separately argued Shedeur Sanders is a far better prospect than Daniel Jones and that Aaron Rodgers should retire. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1d3f1be7-f506-422a-af38-e6e32088f3e5 (scored 73.84) - Peter Schrager on Shedeur Sanders: Schrager expects the top of the draft to be quarterback-driven, with Cam Ward going first overall and Shedeur Sanders second. He also thinks Sam Darnold returns to Minnesota, Justin Fields starts somewhere (likely staying in Pittsburgh rather than joining the Jets), and the Eagles lose free agents like Milton Williams and Josh Sweat. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/d85fbaa5-de9a-4005-8da5-01b47326d167 (scored 0.21) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
