- 1Malik Willis to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points“obviously with that rushing equity, you could hit that golden number that Bob and Scott were talking about. Clearly he's going to crack that that top twelve ish kind of scenario.”
- 2Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost (wide Receiver thirty nine)“sure at wide Receiver thirty nine, which is the ECR, and also where Bogwin has him. I'm incredibly in on McKay lemon”
- 3Alec Pierce to outplay his draft cost (thirty two)“Yeah, wide receiver three, I'm buying... So right now the current ECR... It's thirty two. That's about perfect for me.”
- 4Emeka Egbuka to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver twenty four)“I'm just gonna put my head down and draft like he's wide receiver twenty four. I just think that that's too low”
- 5A.J. Brown to move“we're in the countdown now, less than thirty days away from the AJ Brown decision... but it seems like he's definitely on his way out”

How each call scored
5 checkable claims — 3 sleeper calls, 1 positional finish and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.
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.
