Gregg Rosenthal#39 of 87 NFL pundits · Apr 24, 2026
After the first round, Rosenthal said they're going back to being bullish on Tampa Bay, expecting them to exceed whatever win total is set, and made several role/depth-chart calls on newly drafted players — Mendoza starting Week 1 in Las Vegas, Concepcion leading Cleveland in targets, Mauiinoa opening at guard, Rutledge at center, Price as Seattle's RB1 and Wandell Robinson sliding to a No. 3 receiver role. They also called the Jets' David Bailey pick at No. 2 a mistake.

- 1Keylan Rutledge to be 1st on the depth chart“I think right now he's probably their center, but I don't know if they've talked about that.”
- 2Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat expectations“I have a feeling whatever the Bucks win total is, I'm going to be over. I think I'm just I'm going back to big on the Bucks.”
- 3Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart“even better it would be for Dano. Mendoza just looks so good in training camp that he's the starter Week one... I put the over under on Mendoza starting before the season. I think I think it's probably weak one.”
- 4Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart“He's RB one... it's crazy that that he is immediately going to step right in the rich get richer to a big role.”
- 5Francis Mauigoa to be 1st on the depth chart“He probably moves inside to right guard or left guard... he starts out at guard and then you have a good injury protection plan.”
- 6David Bailey to disappoint at the next level“I think he's a boomer bus player... I think rvel Reese what actually had a higher floor and a higher I think that was a mistake to take him there.”
- 7K.C. Concepcion to be 1st on the depth chart“He's probably gonna lead that team in targets. He's gonna be wide open.”
- 8Wan'Dale Robinson to be 3rd on the depth chart“Wandell Robinson looks better as your number two slash three receiver and that's what he'll be now.”

How each call scored
8 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls, 1 draft bust call and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 5.
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.
