Jacob WestendorfAug 11, 2026

Analyzing the Packers' unofficial depth chart, Westendorf endorses some listings as real (Love at QB, Morgan at LT, John Williams as backup left tackle, Cisse starting at cornerback) while predicting Javon Hargrave will start on the defensive line and Belton may lose the right guard job and convert to swing tackle.

How each call scored

6 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 3.

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.
