Everything predicted about one club, including who they were mocked to take.

takes graded
17,148 awaiting a result
2,719 graded takes land strictly between the extremes, and the shape has a story: the counts climb as the scores improve. A take that earns partial credit is far more likely to be nearly right than nearly wrong.
This is where the curve-graded kinds live — mock draft picks (2,039), score predictions (504) and depth chart calls (198) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.
Malcolm Koonce to make the roster
Koonce will make the roster, but he deserves scrutiny when others like Johnson and Slone are flashing.
Matt Gay to make the roster
A great 52-yard field goal and solid kicking have all but solidified his role. I have reported since before the NFL Draft that he was in the driver’s seat for the kickers’ lone spot on the 53-man roster, and that remains accurate.
Devin Singletary to be cut
the odd man out might be Devin Singletary, who already took a major pay cut to stay with the team
Thomas Fidone II to make the roster
Tight end Thomas Fidone II and cornerback Korie Black round out this class, but they will be hard-pressed to make the final roster.
Teven Jenkins to be 1st on the depth chart
Jenkins still looks like the Week 1 starter, and with more strong play can build his case even stronger.
Jared Wayne to make the roster
one player already on the 90-man roster feels due for much better odds to make the 53-man cut: third-year wideout Jared Wayne.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Cleveland
Jacksonville opens the season Sept. 13 at home vs. Cleveland and is a 7.5-point favorite. ... I seriously doubt they lose
Haynes King to land on the practice squad
the Panthers may have no choice but to put him on the practice squad, where another NFL team will almost surely poach him and roster him, leaving him forever as a Panthers "what if."
Marquise Brown to be cut
A good Day 2 of practice could push Brown off the roster bubble, even if his contract continues to imply he'll be with the Eagles.
Elijah Williams to make the roster
The second-year big man is an intriguing prospect on the defensive interior who keeps building a case to make the team's final 53-man roster.
Mike Gesicki to make the roster
Given that Gesicki is a proven pass-catcher, and the Bengals used a fourth-round pick on All two years ago, they're near locks to make the roster.
Erick All to make the roster
Given that Gesicki is a proven pass-catcher, and the Bengals used a fourth-round pick on All two years ago, they're near locks to make the roster.
Tanner Hudson to be cut
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton recently suggested that the Bengals should cut ties with veteran tight end Tanner Hudson this offseason.
Daniel Faalele to be 1st on the depth chart
There's a decent chance Faalele ends up as Jacksonville's Week 1 starting right guard, and all the Jaguars had to give up for him was a sixth-round pick.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Browns
What happens when they open up against the Browns at home? That is a win.
Denver Broncos to beat Jacksonville Jaguars
Now you're at Denver. Lost.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Patriots
Now you're home for the Patriots. Win.
Stetson Bennett to make the roster
I would be of the idea of let's keep three, and and go that route... I I would lean towards three.
Ozzy Trapilo to be 1st on the depth chart
Jones has seemed like the favorite at the position for months now, but Trapilo, who was activated off the PUP list earlier this week, is likely to get the nod when he's ready to go, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play by Week 1.
Arian Smith to land on the practice squad
Practice squad: Cam Camper, Quincy Skinner Jr., Arian Smith ... they likely want to give Smith a bit more runway
Seattle Seahawks to beat Patriots
Patriots (at Seahawks). ... This game might turn into an even bigger blowout with the Seahawks playing at home.
Detroit Lions to beat Saints
Saints (at Lions). ... it's hard to see the Saints keeping up.
Baltimore Ravens to beat Cowboys
Cowboys (vs. Ravens in Brazil). ... it's still hard to imagine Dallas slowing down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' offense.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Broncos
Broncos (at Chiefs). ... it's hard to pick against a Chiefs team that will be opening the season at home in primetime.
Los Angeles Chargers to beat Raiders
Raiders (at Chargers). This is a divisional game on the road, which isn't a good combination for a Raiders team...
