- 1Power Rankings“with respect deserved respect to the New York Jets and the Tennessee Titans. That's the worst team in football next year. Like that's that's just gonna be a really bad bad team.”
- 2Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart“The Vikings signed Kyler to be the starter. And even though I don't here's the thing. I don't believe in Kyler, but I have so little belief in McCarthy. I think Kyler's obviously the better option.”
- 3Jeremiyah Love to be picked “it doesn't look like Jeremiah Love is gonna be there at nine”“I'm not even certain Jarah at this point, it doesn't look like Jeremiah Love is gonna be there at nine.”
- 4Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart“Denver's giving up the thirtieth pick in a third rounder, and then they're swapping forth and Denver now has a number one receiver”
- 5Maxx Crosby to move“because I think Crosby's eventually getting traded. I think it's gonna really matter what he gets traded for.”

How each call scored
5 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 1 mock draft pick, 1 power ranking and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
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.

Zack Kelberman · Roster Spot Calls · Sean Fresch Jr. · Miss 0
Kelberman expects Sean Fresch Jr. to clear waivers and return to the Broncos' practice squad, sees Riley Moss back from concussion for the Week 11 game at Las Vegas, and projects newly acquired Daiyan Henley to begin as the third inside linebacker behind Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad before likely moving into a starting role.Zack Kelberman · Roster Spot Calls · Sean Fresch Jr. · Miss 0
Kelberman writes that Riley Moss may sit out the preseason finale against Minnesota but should be available for the Week 1 opener at Kansas City; they also suggest undrafted corners Sean Fresch Jr. and Brent Austin are being evaluated for practice squad spots.Logan Lazarczyk · Trade and Signing Calls · Kirk Cousins · Hit 100
Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick.Chad Jensen · Roster Spot Calls · Jordan Turner · Miss 0
Jensen predicts Daiyan Henley's arrival will cut into Justin Strnad's snaps while Alex Singleton keeps playing virtually every down, and that Denver will return to a three-linebacker rotation after the Week 10 bye. They also expect one of Jordan Turner or Karene Reid — most likely Turner — to be waived to clear a roster spot.
