Brian Peacock#29 of 87 NFL pundits · May 5, 2026
Peacock predicts Stribling won't produce much fantasy volume as a rookie in 2026 but becomes a starting outside receiver long term, sees fourth-rounder Ephesians Prysock making the roster as depth rather than starting, and thinks Jaden Duggar may end up a practice squad player.

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive3 checkable claims — 2 roster spot calls and 1 depth chart call — 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.
2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
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.
