How each call scored
77 checkable claims — 43 depth chart calls, 32 roster spot calls, 1 positional finish and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 102 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
25 of 77 have settled so far, averaging 80 out of 100, against 76 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 33 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 11 and below it on 22.
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.
Where this call stands in the room
