Anita MarksMar 1, 2026
Marks predicted Fernando Mendoza would be the No. 1 overall pick and land with the quarterback-desperate Raiders, expected Malik Willis to open as Miami's starter and Gardner Minshew to start for the Colts while Daniel Jones recovers, said they'd be shocked if Jones signed anywhere but Indianapolis, and picked the Spurs to beat the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

- 1Fernando Mendoza to be picked at number 1“I do believe he'll go number one overall, And I do believe he'll go to the Raiders, but it's because the Raiders are desperate for a quarterback”
- 2Gardner Minshew to be 1st on the depth chart“he more than likely he's not gonna be able to start at the start of the season. Maybe Garterer Mitshew is going to be the starter for the Colts.”

- 4Daniel Jones to move to Indianapolis Colts“boy, I'll be really really surprised if Daniel Jones goes somewhere else. I don't think that would be a wise decision on the on on behalf of his camp.”

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naive4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 1 mock draft pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
1 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 100 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.
