Traina floats the Giants trading center John Michael Schmitz to the Green Bay Packers before the deadline for a draft pick (they suggest a fifth-rounder would be fair), arguing they have no long-term future in New York. They also figure Sean Rhyan remains Green Bay's center of the future given their contract.

How each call scored
2 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
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.
