Rob RangAug 13, 2026
Rang names one 2025 draft pick from each NFC team they expect to break out in their second season, attaching specific role and production expectations to several of them (Skattebo as the Giants' bell cow, Campbell starting and starring in Philadelphia, Croskey-Merritt leading Washington's backfield, Burden becoming Caleb Williams' top target, Riley replacing Alontae Taylor, Martin starting for the 49ers by December, and Mills posting five sacks in Seattle).

How each call scored
9 checkable claims — 7 depth chart calls and 2 player season numbers — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 6.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
