- 1Jimmy Garoppolo to be 2nd on the depth chart“I think he's just there and and any of their team's capacity to be a backup, or even Arizona kind of teach the offense.”
- 2Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart“So you'd have to lean and say Watson because the money that you brought up earlier. It's too significant for him not to get the first shot in Cleveland”

How each call scored
2 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 4 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.
