Jeff Kerr#68 of 87 NFL pundits · Aug 12, 2026
Kerr says Eli Stowers being TE2 by Week 1 is an overreaction, that Elijah Moore should make the 53-man roster over Hollywood Brown and could be the team's WR5, that Ty Robinson will likely make the roster, and that Cooper DeJean being the Eagles' starting safety is an overreaction since they play the slot in nickel with Marcus Epps or Michael Carter at safety.

- 1Ty Robinson to make the roster“Robinson is getting the benefit of the doubt here, and he'll likely make the roster if he shows enough improvements. Right now, that seems to be the case.”
- 2Elijah Moore to make the roster“Every day, Moore is making a case to be on this roster. He should be on the 53 over Hollywood Brown if we stopped the count after 10 practices.”
- 3Elijah Moore to be 5th on the depth chart“He could be the WR5 on this team, and he's also a veteran (like Brown).”
- 4Cooper DeJean to be 1st on the depth chart“The depth chart is the depth chart, but the Eagles have DeJean in the slot for a reason.”

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naive4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 2 roster spot 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.
2 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 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.
