# Daniel Jeremiah: Jeremiah walks through his updated Top 50 draft prospect rankings, keeping Mendoza at No. 1, moving Jeremiah Love to No. 2 and Styles up to No. 3, and stacking six offensive tackles through the top 25. He also says it wouldn't shock him if Monroe Freeling were the first offensive lineman off the board and a top-10 pick.

3 checkable claims — 1 mock draft pick, 1 position order call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 42.7 out of 100, against 30.4 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> I've had him as the top player in the draft through the whole process. I'm going to just continue to ride that out.
