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

> The Steelers also selected tackle Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft, who will likely now take over for Jones at right tackle
