Jeff Kerr#68 of 87 NFL pundits · Aug 11, 2026

Kerr says the Eagles' receiver depth chart is largely settled: Dontayvion Wicks as WR2 in Week 1, Makai Lemon as WR3 by default, and Darius Cooper as WR5 with a roster spot locked up. They also predict Hollywood Brown holds off Cooper and Elijah Moore to make the 53-man roster, while Moore does enough to avoid being cut.

1Marquise Brown to make the roster“There are reservations regarding Brown's roster spot, but Brown still should make this team.”
2Elijah Moore to be cut“Bottom line -- Moore is making it difficult for the Eagles to cut him.”
3Darius Cooper to make the roster“Cooper has played his way onto the Eagle sroster (again), as it would be shocking if he didn't make the 53-man roster.”
4Dontayvion Wicks to be 2nd on the depth chart“Dontayvion Wicks is going to be the WR2 come Week 1”
5Darius Cooper to be 5th on the depth chart“Darius Cooper locked up a roster spot as the WR5”
6Makai Lemon to be 3rd on the depth chart“Lemon should still be the WR3 by default since he was a first-round pick.”

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive

6 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls and 3 roster spot calls — 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.

3 of 6 have settled so far, averaging 66.7 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1.

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.
