2026 NFL Draft Predictions & Sleepers That Cash | Jeremiyah Love, Ty Simpson & First Round Bets | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 222)

Stephie Smalls is joined by David Syvertsen of Ourlads Scouting Services for a deep dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, breaking down betting angles, team fits, and prospects who could go earlier than the market expects.

The episode starts with the New York Giants at pick No. 5 and the different directions they could go depending on how the board falls. Stephie and David discuss whether defense or offensive line makes more sense, and they spend time on top prospect fits including Sonny Styles and Mansoor Delane, with Delane getting serious love as a corner who may not make it out of the top 10.

They also break down the draft stock of Jeremiyah Love, including whether he lands in the top four and why the market may be telling us more than people realize. From there, the conversation shifts into broader first-round trends, including how many cornerbacks, wide receivers, and offensive linemen could come off the board on Day 1.

At quarterback, Stephie and David dig into Ty Simpson, whether he is truly a first-rounder, and which teams make the most sense if someone decides to take the leap. They also reference the bigger-picture QB conversation and why some franchises may be hesitant in this class.

Later in the episode, David delivers his favorite sleepers, with extra attention on under-the-radar pass catchers and prospects the public may be sleeping on compared to NFL teams. If you’re betting the draft, building mocks, or hunting for value before the board moves, this episode has you covered.
