# David Harrison: Recapping day one of the 2026 NFL scouting combine drills, Harrison names his standouts and offers draft projections: Sonny Styles could rise to No. 2 overall and is a top-10 pick, Ruben Bain Jr. will need to move inside from edge, Zane Durant and Owen Heineke will climb from seventh-round projections, Jacob Rodriguez lands late round two/early round three, and Lee Hunter is an early second-rounder who could sneak into the late first. **Claimed:** Feb 28, 2026 **Pundit:** David Harrison — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/david-harrison **Outlet:** Locked On Commanders (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-commanders-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/7c3048/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252/episodes/7c6da671-57bd-4294-8110-3c109ce5f93a/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252&awEpisodeId=7c6da671-57bd-4294-8110-3c109ce5f93a&feed=psq7p3Ar 7 checkable claims — 6 mock draft picks and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
