McCarthy, and doubts Jeremiah Love will still be available at the Chiefs' No. 9 pick.

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 bet.

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.

> That's the worst team in football next year.

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
