# Jourdan Rodrigue: Co-authoring the same consensus first-round mock, Rodrigue endorsed every pick, personally pushing Ashton Jeanty to Jacksonville at five, Tyler Warren to the Bears at ten, Emeka Egbuka to Washington at 29 and Nick Emanwori to Buffalo at 30. **Claimed:** Apr 23, 2025 **Pundit:** Jourdan Rodrigue — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jourdan-rodrigue **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/the-official-2025-nfl-daily-mock-draft-with-jourdan-rodrigue 32 checkable claims — 32 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 64 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 31 of 32 have settled so far, averaging 69.9 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > The Bears are taking Tyler Warren. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
